First I figured out that 256 was a perfect square aka 16x16
so.... think about this

PLEASE dont post the answer!

2x2=4
3x3x3=27
4x4x4x4=256

OH! DUHHHHHHHHHHHH. Thank you Smile

Not quite, theyellowtreefrog, but go ahead and multiply it and then look at the riddle again and see if that helps.

That WAS actually quite simple, but SO HIDDEN! This really was one of those 'either you see it, or you don't'-puzzles. It'll be interesting to see if we get a prize for enteringan answer this late in the game, although a lot of the people who entered their answers last night were wrong, weren't they?

so i square root 7x7x7x7x7x7x7? and thats the answer?

No, you multiply the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 by themselves the number of times of themselves, ie. 2x2, 3x3x3 and so on, and divide the sums up into numbers of three

2x2 = 4
3x3x3 = 27

The first number of cubic inches is 427

4x4x4x4 = 256

The second number of cubic inches is 256

And then you go on =)

so i added them all up and got 873611... then what? divide by 3??

Ugh, yes, exactly, like a few weeks back when it was Kyrii day and they had the LC with Haikus, and the "double letters" being repeated.. then you had to unscramble them.. but I thought it was anagram to start with and got the answer wrong!

I am also looking forward to seeing who gets top 250. I agree, a lot of folks who entered last night were probably wrong.. so we'll see next wednesday morning!! I bet folks who find the "7th hour" answer might get it wrong too if they forget to add it to the total cubic inches before submitting Smile

We aren't going to walk you through every single step... that'd be just as bad as giving you the answer straight out. the solution is posted above. Figure it out. You've had plenty of hints.

Ah. So it wasn't that we needed to group the hundreds digits, tens digits, and ones digits separately, it was that we needed to write the various numbers, in order, as an undifferentiated (un-comma-delimited) string, and then look for patterns.

Note for those lacking calculators on-hand (or on-desktop): You can do the calculations with various online calculators, such as this one. Use the carat key (as we've been doing here) to indicate exponents. So "three cubed" would be entered as "3^3".

Note regarding earlier-posited solutions: The seventh hour's digging does not move 7xx additional cubic meters of earth.

Added all what up? Two squared through seven to the seventh...?

In what post has anybody else summed the values and then divided by 3...?

Where are you getting your steps and reasoning? Shocked

Wrong. I've given you as exact a solution as I can without walking you through the whole thing, and then what do you get out of it? =)

duhhhhhhh.

well, the cubic pattern hadn't been shown, i would've been on my 3rd coffee already. hahaha

well, further hint for those who are lost.

take a cut at all the multiplications by 3-digits. for example:
2x2= 4
3x3x3=27 take these 2, combine it and it becomes 427

4x4x4x4= 256.

312, 546, 656, 823 and the last number are your friends when you follow the pattern.

final note: add all the numbers together. 427+256+312+.....+final number

Aaaaaaaah, so 3x3x3x3x3 and 4x4x4x4 and all that is called 'cubed' in english. I only knew the danish term. Duly noted =)

Very precise recipe for the solution =) follow this, and you CANNOT go wrong!

Off topic, can someone (preferably american) tell me if they've cancelled ER? I've just been watching the episode following the one where Luka and Abby get married, and I missed the one before the episode where they get married, but I deduced that the hospital was closed for some reason. And now some guy was talking baaaaaaaaad bad things about the ER and/or hospital as the episode was ending. Have they stopped making it and I haven't heard about it?

Not exactly.. ^2 = squared, ^3 = cubed, ^4 = to the 4th power, ^5 = to the fifth power, and so on..

so 2^3 = 8, you can say that as "2 cubed equals 8"
2^2 = 4 you say as "2 squared equals 4"
3^5 = you say as "3 to the fifth (power) equals 243"

Nope, still going strong AFAIK ... http://www.tv.com/er/show/111/summary.html
