PinkRockz:
"The Lenny's age was three times the average of all five of their ages."
The average of all five is (A+B+K+L+T)/5
So, L = 3*(A+B+K+L+T)/5
Since you know A, B, K, and T, let X=A+B+K+T
Now, L=3*(X+L)/5
5L = 3X + 3L
2L = 3X
L = 3X/2
This weeks Lenny is sooooo easy
i still dont understand, i cant work out the answer, ive done parts of it, but im still unsure. whats the answer?
yeah but whats the actual number answer, im looking at that link you just gave me, but it still is nit making any sense what so ever
read it carefully. I didn't see it at first either, but the answer is in there.
it asks how many months older is the lenny, but does it mean older than the acara or the kacheek?
actually the question is: If the Acara is four months older than the Kacheek, how many months old is the Lenny? SO it's is just asking for the age of the lenny... nothing else.
Oh and stapel...or anyone else who knows what she did... your soloution in the previous page said that you used linear algebra or somthing like that to figure out how old every neopet is. What exactly did u do...i just wanna learn.
How much do you know about
solving linear equations? Or about
solving systems of linear equations? Or about working with
matrices and
determinants? If you know that stuff, then just plug the information they gave into a matrix system, and row-op yourself to the solution. That, or apply
Cramer's Rule to find the value only of L.

Hey!!!!
Everybody ready for this weeks trivia!!!
Between Valentines Day and Chocolate Chia day, King Skarl had more chocolate than he knew what to do with. In fact, he had exactly one of every item in Neopia with the word "chocolate" in it! Before feasting on all of this chocolate, however, his doctor told him he'd have to limit his consumption to 600 calories of chocolate per day.
If the number of calories in each chocolate item is three times its rarity, how many days will it take to eat all of the chocolate? Make sure you take into account all chocolate items on the site, and their rarities, as of the time of the judging of this conundrum, probably sometime next Wednesday. Also, please round up to the nearest day.
Good Luck
jeez how in the world r we supposed to find every item with chocolate in it!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE MUST BE A THOUSAND
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
All right, so far I have searched for "milk chocolate" "orange chocolate" "mint chocolate" "chocolate coated" "dark chocolate" "white chocolate" and just plain "chocolate" as well as looked at any items I had, gourmet items, and anything else I can think of... I already have HUNDREDS of items...
now the real question in it says
"he had exactly one of every item in Neopia with the word "chocolate" in it!"
and it says
"Make sure you take into account all chocolate items on the site"
Now, is it all items w/ the word chocolate, or all choclate items, because the latter would suggest only edible items made from chocolate, but the prior would suggest that battledome items or TCG with the word choclate in them would be eaten also..... any help on that one?!?!?!?!?
ye, you're rite caue many of the objects I found were liek: chocolate milk, but he was eating chocloates...
And I haven't even been able to get on to neoitems.net yet to check out their list of items, and so far just with my searching I'm @ 283 items...
AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I looked into that site, but its all weird, It says, that the database is mess up...oh comon, when'll it work!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was reading some of the posts and noticed there was some confusion as to whether this was strictly chocolate foods, or if all chocolate items apply. i may be wrong, but im pretty sure nobody knows the eating habits of king skarl.. im not sure, but isnt he a skeith? a skeith can eat anything, from what i know of them (i dont have one i could be wrong), but in that case id assume its EVERY chocolate item.. this ones gonna be hard!
"Listen up all you Lenny C people... you managed to crash the server grrrrr.
I'm afraid that until everything calms down the item database is out of order"
apparently it's our fault O.o
