This is what it says
I looked for a pattern, couldnt find one. So I found the time differences between each of the numbers:
33 hrs 57 mins
17 hrs 2 mins
28 hrs 4 min
13 hrs 56 mins
22 hrs 56 mins
Using this pattern:
33-17=16
28-13=15
22-x=14
Our hour is 8.
Then:
57+2=59
4+56=60
56+x=61
Our minute is 5.
8 hrs and 5 minutes from 4:01 AM is 12:06 PM which should be you answer. Bam.
It is past 1am here so I submited that and now I am going to bed
That sounds like a great solution, but Im confused on one thing...wouldn't that be the same day? Does that matter?
even if i added the 24 hours to go into the next day, it would still be 12:06. I just didnt add the 24 hours to the 8 hour 5 minute conclusion.

It could be good but I am still not confident in this answer.

you used "x" twice with 2 diferent values in the same overall equation.
so, we havnt got an answer then?
Has anyone gotten the "congrats" neomail from TNT?
no i am thinking there were to few answers so running for two weeks?
the answer has been judged so I believe there will be another one soon
answer to 270
Answer: 2:07 PM
There are 24 hours in the day. If you spell them out and put them in alphabetical order, you get the following sequence:
Eight (or, 8 AM)
Eighteen (6 PM)
Eleven (11 AM)
Fifteen (3 PM)
Five (5 AM)
Four (4 AM)
Fourteen (2 PM)
For the minutes, it's simply the digit of Pi corresponding to the number. Because, really, it wouldn't be a Lenny Conundrum if we didn't use Pi, right? Anyway, the fourteenth digit of Pi is 7, which gives us a time of 1407, or 2:07 PM.
but how do you figure from four to fourteen?
The same way you would figure from eight to eighteen: What's next, alphabetically, of the numbers between one and twenty-four? [or, well, zero and twenty-three]
Every alphabetical listing puts a termination of a word before an extension, such as how "a" comes before "ab" or "ape", and so on.

I quoted from the answer.
the answer is to say 1~24 in english words are:
one, two, three...twentyfour
arrange these in alphabetical order, and looking for the pi digits, you will get the answer.
Assume the world of Neopia is a spherical planet with a diameter of 1600 km with a uniform density of 5200 kilograms per cubic metre. If the moon of Kreludor is in a geostationary orbit around Neopia, and assuming a Neopian sidereal day is exactly 24 hours, how far is that geostationary orbit above the surface of Neopia?
Please submit your answer in kilometres, and round to the nearest kilometre. Submit only a number; any additional information may disqualify your entry.
No more path!
New Conundrum is out!

I'm scared at myself
For the last Conundrum, I submitted "2:09 PM"... only two minutes off! And it was a complete guess XD
Any ideas here? I found R=(G x M x period^2/(4 x pi ^2))^1/3
period = 24
G= 6.61 x 10 ^-11
and I need help with the rest please
