Congratulations jdurg..Whats that about,I think you will find i got the damn answer correct FIRST,thats right first.All you asked for was the odd one out,which i gave you.You didnt ask the reason for it being the odd one out had to correlate with what you had swimming about in your mind.I want you to congratulate me.ME.MEEEEEEE! :)

I will have your damn praise Martin,you have no right to withhold it from me,i demand it you hear. ;)

Congratulations Newtonian. You guessed Boron too. :)

we need a new word puzzle.

Yes cross out nine letters leaving a single word and tell me what it is

I am stumped. I can see how to cross out ELEVEN letters and leave

"A SINGLE WORD"

 

n A i S n I e N l G e L t E t W e O r R s D

 

(just erase the lowercase letters and keep the caps)

 

but I do not see how to erase NINE letters and have anything left that makes sense

 

hope that jdurg or somebody else has better luck!

Hahahaha.. muhahahahahahha:-)

Of course it makes sense Martin ,must try harder.

Wow, it makes sense now but Martin pretty much showed me. I wouldn't have come up with it on my own. Very clever though.

Here's a pure math puzzle, and an easy word puzzle----try either or both.

 

 

What is the next number in this sequence?

2

5

28

257

3126

 

 

There is a word that can be added to each of these to make a new word.

 

DUST

BOARD

FISH

 

What is it?

  • Author

the number one is 46657. [(n to the power of n) plus 1] where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

 

that's a good one.

 

the word one i haven't yet though

the number one is 46657. [(n to the power of n) plus 1] where n = 1' date=' 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

 

that's a good one.

 

the word one i haven't yet though[/quote']

 

Right! 66 + 1 = 46657

 

Here is another.

There is a trick involved in it (but really only a very simple one)

what is the next term?

 

1

4

11

20

31

(maybe that's a bad hint and will just mislead you but I'll let it stand)

How about this?

44? (I'm still trying to figure out the logical mathematical reason. That 1 is bugging me though. :P )

 

Anyway, here's what I've come up with but I don't think it works thanks to that damned 1. lol.

 

(1^2)

(2^2) + 0

(3^2) + 2

(4^2) + 4

(5^2) + 6

(6^2) + 8

 

See why that 1 is confusing me. :D

44? (I'm still trying to figure out the logical mathematical reason. That 1 is bugging me though. :P )

 

Yes 44 is right! Can you now get the next term?

 

1

4

11

20

31

44

?

44

?

 

 

59?

UNDER

 

Yes.

 

underway, underdog, underground, underhanded

59?

 

good for trying, but no

(you havent got it yet, but 44 was right)

Martin you still have not fed my ego,what about black to white in four,pretty sure its damn smart and cannot be beaten EVER.Its a mathematical cert.

So feed me seymour..feed me!

this thread still has two unanswered puzzlers

 

1. suppose that

 

9 x 13 = 2

7 x 11 = 6

17 x 23 = 9

 

then what is

 

27 x 15 = ?

-------------------

dan19_83 knows the answer (he or a friend answered it and then erased it)

please somebody, dan19_83 or whoever, post the answer

--------------------

 

 

2. the other problem is a what comes next?

 

1

4

11

20

31

44

?

 

 

hint: keep in mind that in puzzle 2. what you are looking at is a sequence of six numbers but they might not be conventional decimal numbers

61, its in base 8. In decimal it would be

 

1

4

9

16

25

36

then 49 :D
