Stormy:

SWEORRDT = inert sword Cool

That was a good one! King Arthur I think it was took a sword from a stone; that was pretty inert. Laughing

BSAOILAGT = sailing boat Cool

Mark:

SWEORRDT = insert word Cool

That was more my line of thinking! Laughing

Can you arrange the odd digits 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, and the even digits, 2, 4, 6, and 8, in such a way that the odd ones add up to the same as the even ones Question

You can use arithmetical signs and decimals, but the idea is to try and arrive at the simplest possible solution. There are, of course, many possible answers.

The simplest I could think of was:

(7-5)*9-3-1=8*2-6+4

Mark and Thoh (working together) peel a bucket of prawns in 20 minutes, Mark and TTH in 15 minutes, TTH and Thoh in 12 minutes.

How long does it take Mark to peel a bucket of prawns

The way I saw your question was:
Mark + Thoh = 20 minutes
Mark + TTH = 15 minutes
TTH + Thoh = 12 minutes

so....

Mark (11 1/2) + Thoh (8 1/2) = 20 minutes
Mark (11 1/2) + TTH (3 1/2) = 15 minutes
TTH (3 1/2) + Thoh (8 1/2) = 12 minutes
that is how I came up with those #'s Laughing

which obviously weren't the numbers you had in mind Laughing

correct

on a digital clock, the numbers are made up of vertical and horizontal bars
the first digit of a 2 digit number is the vertical bars, the 2nd is the horizontal
for example, 0 is 4 vertical and 2 horizontal so 42
1 is 2 vertical and no horizontal so 20....and so on
i listed the digits 0 thru 8 so u needed to list 9 which is 3 vertical and 3 horizontal so 33.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8......9

42 20 23 23 31 23 33 21 43....33

how did u get 32 mark? no bottom bar on the 9?

ODDS and EVENS

The simplest I could think of was:

(7-5)*9-3-1=8*2-6+4 Cool

Another: 1 + 3 + 7 + 9/5 = 12.8 and 2 + 4 + 6 + .8 = 12.8

Mark:

The last digit of 777^777 is
7 Cool

BTW: Congratulations on the TIME answer, I would never have thought of that; and take TTH's advice and stop constantly talking about it! Laughing

TTH, I am glad to see you are well enough to return. As for your numbers; see Mark's Post: 3039831 (page 1010) for details.

It's just I can't sleep for worrying; why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? Why are a "wise man" and a "wise guy" opposites? Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things? So many classes, so little time!

Thoh:

CLASSES
There are a total of 48 classes taken, so if each person takes two, then there are 24 people. Cool

Yes; it is that simple!

TTH said to Thoh, "If you give me two of your Simpson DVD's then we will have the same amount each."

Thoh replied, "If you give me two of your DVDs' then I will have double the number you have!"

How many DVD's do TTH and Thoh have Question

Which is the odd one out Question
