What words backwards are also correctly formed Roman numbers ?




1444
1666

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

Yitwail wrote, "btw, i would have answered this with, ?'Are you dishonest'?"

That's a goodie. I bet there are still a number of other possible questions.


"actually. for instance, i'm soon parted with my money."

Did I ever mention I have this money making scam, sorry scheme. For a small investment, I will share with you. Send cash to usual address. :wink:



1626

Whim, "Please show whole grid."

My dear Whim, may I first ask, ?'is this answer correct?' If it is, (which I doubt) I will be pleased to share the formula with you and the whole net.




Sorry Mark, I missed these off the earlier post. Something to doodle over breakfast.


Pat earned 72% of the first 800 possible points in math class. To achieve an overall average of 80%, what percent of the remaining 400 points must he earn


Dan's drive from home to work is 25 miles. He drove to work in the morning at a rateof 40 mph. On the trip home he drove at a rate of 50 mph. What was his average speed for the entire trip

Please round your answer to the nearest tenth.



Of the eggs produced by salmon, 80% hatch, and of those, 25% survive to migrate to the ocean. How many eggs are needed to produce 100 salmon that migrate to the ocean

1626 = MDCXXVI
How would that fit?

It wouldn't, that's why I asked to show the whole grid. Now I guess Try wasn't working with Roman numerals.

After your remarks earlier, I have looked for mistakes in my puzzle but so far all looks OK. So any ideas, Mark?

PAT
96%

DAN
44.4 mph

SALMON
500

I did not use vertical clues I, II, IV (I didn't understand them).

Previously, I hadn't noticed that each number could not repeat a digit.
Knowing that made it much easier.

I must say... the attempts to answer to my riddle about "can you count to 10?" are wrong.
Do try again (pun intented)

Pigs. Exploding Bacon anyone?


Thames


Tomato Juice


Incredibly it is bottled water. Hard to believe really.

Whim, you really know your Roman numerals.
Tricky too, "MCXL birth year of MaC huXLey"

Full house. Take Monday off, tell the boss I said it would be ok. :wink:


"can you count to 10?"

I can only reach ?'nein'


Mark:

96%

DAN
44.4 mph

SALMON
500

Congrats on your answer to Whims question.
