That is a ?'banker' for sure, a quote for the future.

Thank you for your answer to the ?'water' riddle. However, I have now bought myself a new 9-litre jug, which I will use instead. :wink:

Woah there partner, I was kinda hoping you would give me a job. You know cleaning up, making the coffee, things that s t r e a c h my ability.
"More likely, your assistant probably transcribed the answer incorrectly."
You are right, the bum is outta here.
Mark, I know you think you thought you knew what you thought I said,
but, I'm not sure you understood what you thought I meant.

1299, 1300 (no, no) ?'YES,
YES'
What Molly realized was that the tickets were consecutively numbered. If the tickets were numbered abcd and abc(d+1) and my answer to Spike's question had been yes, the only conclusion Molly could have reached would have been that a+b+c+d=12, and regardless of my answer to Waldo's question there would not have been a unique solution. So my answer to Spike's question must have been no, and it follows that the tickets could not have been numbered in this manner. If the numbers were abc9 and ab(c+1)0 we'd have 2a+2b+2c+10=25, and so 2(a+b+c)=15, which is impossible. If the numbers were ab99 and a(b+1)00 we'd have 2a+2b+19=25 or a+b=3, leading to the four possibilities 0399 and 0400, 1299 and 1300, 2199 and 2200, 3099 and 3100. Of these, three of them would have had me answer "yes" to Waldo's question, and only the pair 1299 and 1300 would have had me answer "no". It follows that these were my ticket numbers.

"By the way I live in Egypt not Alaska, also I am still studying to be a doctor"
Way to go Doc. Reminds me of the time I was caught sick in the market of Cairo, by the time I got to the Doctor there was a long line of people waiting, so I shouted from the back, "Hurry up Doc I think I am turning into a ?'Pool Ball' " He replied, "Don't worry son, you will be alright by the time you reach the end of the cue"

The former is correct, the latter a goodwill gesture. :wink:
"Is there more than one correct answer to the M-N puzzle?"
Absolutely, without hesitation I can say ?'maybe'. However, I doubt -642 is one of them. On the other hand
