The worlds first riddle!

For those not numerically gifted: Oh-oh that would be me! <waves>

That last riddle is a tough one. For me!

Bright as diamonds,
1. Lightning?

To unravel me,
2. A simple answer

As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.

What am I

Stable - table - able - stable

Bright as diamonds...

waterfall?

69) famous position

Getting harder these..

No way babe. That would be ME! However, we both know, ?'first 2 digit number which reads the same upside down' is 11. Not 69, which would read ?'pd' :wink:

Try, when you write 'however' you remind me of a friend who is french canadian. She would say, however...pause, and then continue. I felt like sharing that. :-)

'69'? stop witing naughty numbers, you! This site is rated.....'PG' I laugh, bahamahahahahaha.

There are no naughty numbers (except perhaps zero). However, <pause>, some numbers may inspire certain people to have naughty thoughts.

Whatever happened to paulaj?

She's naughty, she had to go!...now I'm here. <leans back in chair, flips coin in the air and catches it, like a detective on t.v., i don't know why, shrugs, it looks good in the movies!>

Mark, all I can say at this point is, I hope Try isn't seething mad when he see's that [size=7]you[/size] derailed his thread, [size=7]again.[/size] <--Look, the funny face is right under markies name. I laugh some more.

Thank you for sharing your friend with me. I will try anything twice.

Last I heard, she had moved to LA and was making movies.

(8 * 3) * 9 = 45
(12 * 4) * (6 * 2) = 4
(18 * 2) * (6 * 2) = 36
(5 * 4) * (9 * 2) = 27

(8 - 3) * 9 = 45
(12 * 4) / (6 * 2) = 4
(18 / 2) * (6 - 2) = 36
(5 + 4) + (9 * 2) = 27

Dag nabbit, them were fur Turtlette!

Thisun is for u'all:

A convex polygon contains 20 diagonals.
What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the polygon


What is the radius of a circle in which a chord of
length 10 is 5 units from the center


By how many degrees does the measure of an interior angle of a regular
decagon exceed the measure of an interior angle of a regular pentagon


Whim has 6 different pairs of socks.
What is the probability that two randomly
selected socks will be from a matching pair

"However, we both know, ?'first 2 digit number which reads the same upside down' is 11."

I thought of that before posting, but since 1 is not just a straight line, I did not count 11 as such a number. :wink:

Good point. What about '33' :wink:

Upside down 33 would read EE.

I'm sorry! That was not made clear. There weren't even instructions!!!

First or smallest?

66 is the number of 8-iamonds.
67 is the smallest number which is palindromic in bases 5 and 6.
68 is the last 2-digit string to appear in the decimal expansion of .
69 has the property that n2 and n3 together contain each digit once.
70 is the smallest abundant number that is not the sum of some subset of its divisors.

Only joking


"(11) First or smallest?"
We can't even agree the difference between ?'upside down and back to front' Mind you, who writes 1's with a top and tail?

"Upside down 33 would read EE."

Back to front it would, upside down I fancy it would look the same.


Good morning Turtlette, don't worry about derailing. This thread was in a train smash years ago. :wink:

These are the easy one's. :wink:

I do not get that. What are 8-iamonds?




Oh, right. I have it all mixed-up. I rotated sideways 180 degrees.

"I do not get that. What are 8-iamonds?"


The 8 -iamonds: What are they and where do they come from?

This research centers on the idea of polyiamonds. One must first look at the studies of polyominos and the idea of how to correctly and easily construct a polyomino. This research furthers those studies to cover the topic of polyiamonds and, following closely to the polyomino, the methods one can use to create polyiamonds.

The sixty-six 8-iamonds are discovered and analyzed with the method of tiling. Of the sixty-six possible, only five of the 8-iamonds did not tile. Finally, all of the -iamond configurations were taken, from the 4-iamonds to the 8-iamonds, and put in a recursion scheme. The goal of this scheme was to find a pattern that could be followed in order to complete future research of the 9-iamonds and beyond.
