Don't worry, I make fun of all types. But, not the Brits (for the next few weeks) as I am off to the land of smoky chimneys and fog to see the ?'review of the fleet'. I will log in when I can, if they have computers over there. Or, even electricity, running water, fire. Do they still have painted faces? I had better take my trusted ?'peace maker' iffin the natives git restless, if you know what I mean. :wink:

This is a bit of a ?'shot in the dark'

17+12=29

Am I close?


First find the volume of the dirt: 86 x 46 x 21 = 83076 cubic feet.
The amount the truck can haul is given in cubic yards so we will need
to express 20 cubic yards into cubic feet. 20 x 27 = 540 cubic feet.
(Do you know why we multiplied by 27?)
Finally, divide 83076 by 540 which is about 153.84
So it will take 154 dump truck loads, although the last load will not be full.

What was the question


If the five-digit number 5DDDD is divisible by 6, then find the digit D.

Stuck on level 4? That was easy one Just look at the image.

I think this ask for a good thread with hints only, I would hate it if someone post the answers...

I still haven't solved level 19, but I accidently put in a solution that brought me to level 21 which means it is the nanswer for level 20 hehe so I am on level 22 atm and still can't solve bloody level 19 (that took me two days so far)

I 3 V 4 X 3 L 5 C 7 D 11 M ?

I get it now. But if 7 follows C, then I would replace the question mark with an 8 instead of an 11.

The answer I intended was 8, but when you said 11
I noticed that you might mean one-thousand and that's right too, so I said correct. However, it does not go nice with C7. I will change C7 into C10.

Thanks for the feedback.

Whim

Whim:
"I will change C7 into C10."

I think that is a good idea, and keeps the answer ?'tight'.

Four computer science students, Sam, Thomas, Vaughan and William, want to go out to celebrate they've passed their exams. Unfortunately, they want to go to different places, so they give up, and went by themselves (they were pretty lonely). Sam went to an Indian restaurant. William didn't take "Web design". Vaughan ate Chinese. The guy who'd passed his "Networks" exam drank Coca-Cola. Vaughan drank Mountain Dew. The pizza-eating guy drank Jolt. The guy who'd passed "Visual Basic" didn't drink Pepsi Max. Vaughan passed "C++". William drank Jolt. Thomas ate Mexican.

Five women have all added one piece of clothes to their wardrobe within the last week. The jeans are only one colour. Edith always does the sewing herself. The underwear was bought via mail order. The socks were striped. The thing with the giant pink and yellow dots was bought in the huge shopping centre.

The jacket has a tartan pattern. Jennifer bought a T-shirt. Melissa always buys her clothes in the local "boutique". Helen shopped in a fashion house downtown. Miranda loves patterns, especially flowers. Edith used tartan fabric. Helen dislikes patterns, so she chose the typical, one-colour blue model. Melissa didn't buy underwear.

Which was the pattern of Jennifer's new "thing"

It's American. So the pattern is the one which can be bought in the huge shopping centre...
