The worlds first riddle!

"Whim also asks, "do you know numbers with a definition larger than 3 digits?" "

And I mean the mathematical type of definitions.
Like the largest 5 digit prime or the first 6 digit palingdrome prime. That way the answer isn't too easy to find on the internet.

The numbers must be whole positive numbers.

Second, I can use associative number too, if the definition is not too obscure.
Like what number do you associate with Nelson Mandela?

352 proboscidean species and subspecies of which half are recognized and valid today.

My head and tail both equal are,
My middle slender as a bee.
Whether I stand on head or heel
Is quite the same to you or me.
But if my head should be cut off,
The matter's true, though passing strange
Directly I to nothing change.

"Whim, how about an entirely different type of word puzzle, one where you set the total sum of a given number of answers, and the players would have to find numbers to match the total. Just a thought. "

Tryagain,

I have seen so many old puzzles I welcome brand new ones. I'm sure you can come-up with great puzzles if you put your mind to it. Wink

I'm all for a "create a new puzzle" topic in this forum.

Here's one I made up:

The assistant of Prof Beard Igor had to work late again. He started that day with GENERA but ended up with ENRAGE. What had he been doing?

The word "green" uses 5 letters: E E G N R.

Words formed by adding one letter before or after to eegnr in any order.
enrage - genera - gender etc.

Or, he was playing Scrabble® Laughing

West Wind
We live on the west side of the highway. It's barely noticeable at night and unnoticeable during the day. When the train comes by at night, you can hear it.

What part of the country (I assume you're in the US) are you from? I'm guessing it's east of the Mississippi.

I know this was just an example, but I can't help pointing out that there are no 6-digit prime palindromes since all 6-digit palindromes are divisible by 11.

By the way, clever encoding of your e-mail address. That should keep it hidden from the puzzle solvers who search for your address.

That's a quote from a cartoon character called "Mr. Wizard" he tutored a turtle called Timothy, as in Timothy Tutor. It's an old cartoon I used to watch when I was a Lil' Turtle. Laughing
