Nine flowers and nine fruits
Yet change it does not with the seasons
But with the year like, "Poof!"

Turtlette wrote, "how are you?"

Francis said, "Beautiful princess, a wicked witch turned me from a handsome prince into this ugly frog. If you will kiss me, I will again become a handsome prince. We can get married, live in my mother's castle, you can have my children, wash my clothes, and fix my meals. That evening as the beautiful princess dined on sumptuous sautéed frog legs, she pondered and said, "I don't think so."

You gotta love that guy.

We also hope you are enjoying life.

In the Middle Ages a monk by the name of Mac Huxley chiseled this puzzle in the garden walls of the monastery. Every number consist of four different Roman letters and at least one of each of the seven roman digits (MDCLXVI) was used in this puzzle.




Clues:

H(orizontal)
IV => multiple of HII
III => Birth year of the monk
II => Has the same digits as HI
I => Square

V(ertical)
IV => VI + VII is VII / VI
III => HI + II = VII
II => Multiple of VII
I => Differs from HIII by CC

When was the monk born?

Btw what is the answer to that Dutch riddle?

Nethers is netherlands...
Hollie is Holland
Dutch is?

but excuse me as i am half dutch, and there is no such a thing as Nethers :p, nor is hollie. And Holland is in fact two provinces "North and South" Holland in the Netherlands...

So Dutch is Netherlands.... but I dunno what the riddle is getting at hehe

nice to know that yitwall and I posted at same time

Though my answer to

"What do you throw out when you want to use it, but take in when you don't want to use it?"

Is anchor.


BTW, tryagain, if you are referring to the origins of the word Dutch, it would be Deutschland? :p (In Philadelphia, the famous Dutch Amish, which introduced pretzels, are in fact from Germany, and in their native tongue, they say Deutschland; German for Germany. The corruption occured here as the Americans say Deutsch.. Dutsch, Dutch and in Dutch we say Deutchland for Germany.)

Whim:

Based only on the horizontal clues, I narrowed it down to these:

But none of these leads to a valid solution to vertical I.
I must have missed something.

My own riddle which I thought of just now during a fun conversation with my mates:


Can you count to 10

'Can you count to ten..?'

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

yes I can..

Mark said:



Mark, I think you missed at least one possibility.
Also, for instance XLIX has two X's, but each number used have four different digits.

Francis:

What questions can you never ever answer with a "yes"?

Hi Yitwail, good to see a new name to challenge the resident geniuses. I have asked this question several times and, until now it has never been answered in this way. Good thinking.

What do you throw out when you want to use it, but take in when you don't want to use it ?

Iamacheater writes, "but excuse me as i am half dutch"

I am so sorry, please accept my sincere condolences. This was only a bit of banter aimed at Whim.

"Holland is in fact two provinces "North and South" Holland in the Netherlands... So Dutch is Netherlands. The corruption occured here as the Americans say Deutsch.. Dutsch, Dutch and in Dutch we say Deutchland for Germany."

Thank you, that makes it very clear.
