Whim

Q. Add two straight lines to this letter M to leave a different letter


New kid on the block Dadpad answered;
A."If I knew the answer I'd post it."

Alluding to the fact as picked up by Whim:


Add a horizontal line on top and to the bottom of the M. (To form an envelope)

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

All for one and one for all.

Nice to see you back Whim, oh, and your front too!

Bonus round:

He multiplies the cube number 8 by 27, then removes 1 (1 cubed) from the resultant number 216 to leave 26.


Don't look like that! I never said it was going to be easy.




At a meeting of four famous detectives in Los Angeles Kojak is murdered with a poisoned lollipop . The three suspects are Cannon, Columbo and Ironside. During the ensuing investigation the L.A.P.D. receive this anonymous tip-off written on a scrap of paper which read:


Kojak was murdered by _.


Which one of the three detectives does it implicate

A contestant has lodged the following question:

NUMBERS
"Is that 'O' supposed to be there?"


On behalf of the regulation committee may I say;

The ?'O' is there to shed light on the answer. It may be clearer with:

O3 •7 •5 •5 •4 •4 •7 •6 •7 •

whim you better have a beer too, you look as dry as a dead dingo's donger! *opens fridge*

not sure if this is a riddle picked it up somewhere else

If half of 5 were 3, what would one-third of 10 be?

"If half of 5 were 3, what would one-third of 10 be?"


Half of 5 = 3
so 5 = 6.
that makes 10 = 12

one third of 12 = 4
so 1/3 of 10 = 4

He then wrote, "My posts are intentionally obscured so as not to ruin the experience for people after me"

DP. Select the text to highlight it, then cut and paste into a word document. Then select ?'paste' options ?'Keep Text Only'. Works for me.


Mark continues, "…if I happen to get the answers correct."

You do make I laugh. If I remember correctly, the last time you were wrong was the fall of '49.

While I was waiting, I overheard the following conversation:

"What's your phone number, Drew?" asked Eliot.

"Well," said Drew, "if you replace the first digit of your phone number with the next lowest odd digit, you get my number."

"And the code?"

"Curiously," said Drew, "the product of the four digits in that number is the same as the square root of my phone number."

"But that's insufficient information," pointed out Eliot.

"Yes," said Drew. "But if, in addition to that information, I were to tell you the sum of those four digits, then you'd have enough."


What is Drew's code

Note: In this part of Australia, the "code" is four digits long.

What is the next word in this sequence?

REDDEN

markr, any reason you discounted (7777) 576-4801?

As you have already figured out, the four digits of the code must be the same. The sum and the product aren't enough to determine the order of the digits unless the digits are all the same.

To satisfy the ambiguity requirement, the product of the digits must be achievable in more than one way. This rules out 9999, 8888, 7777, 5555, and 1111. The other possibilities have at least one other way of equaling the product:
6^4 = 4*6*6*9
4^4 = 2*4*4*8
3^4 = 1*3*3*9
2^4 = 1*2*2*4

Now, look at the squares of the products. They have to yield a seven-digit number that starts with a 1, 3, 5, or 7.

6^8 = 1679616
4^8 = 65536
3^8 = 6561
2^8 = 256

It appears as though the 'leading odd digit less than nine' requirement is unnecessary. After eliminating the unambiguous possibilities, there is only one code left that yields a seven-digit square.

Jeez i'm thick. I actually wrote it down thinking mark couldn't get it

Duh!
