@LennyCCC,
Could you at least leave a delay so that the people who DO work it out are more likely to get in the top spots? I don't really care about the np (because really, you don't get much), but I don't want someone who copied the answer from somewhere to beat me when I took the time to work out the answer, whether I had help or not.
@rowanmikaio,
There are still other places which post the answer, even If I don't.
Posting it on my blog, is just a safer and more convenient place to grab the answer from.
My aim is not to ruin your hard work, but rather to help the unfortunate. Not everyone has the same knowledge, and I feel as though they are at a disadvantage.
If it becomes a huge issue, then I will post the answers with a little delay.
Thanks.
(Btw, mystery pic answer is up on the blog ;o).
The current prize for the first 400 correct entries is a Lenny Conundrum Negg. You will also get a cool trophy that people can see when they do a user lookup on you! And all correct entries will split the 4,000,000 Neopoint prize pool.
THIS WEEKS PUZZLE - ends Next Wednesday, most likely
Conundrum Lenny went for a walk down a dirt path toward Meri Acres Farm. Almost immediately after he started walking, he saw a number written in the dirt: "84".
A few feet later, he saw a second number: "134".
Then another: "218".
As he continued to walk, he came across even more numbers: 296, 380, 429, 468, 551, 635, 684, 734, 788, 868, and 984.
He decided to keep walking. It turns out, there were a total of exactly four hundred numbers written in the dirt. A couple of them were repeated numbers, but most of them were unique.
What was the 400th number? Please submit only a number as your answer, do not include any punctuation, and submit only the answer with no other information.
X:X:X:X:X:X
That's right! They upped the prize pool!!!
@ninixD,
Well 218-134=84, 380-296=84, 635-551=84, but I don't see a pattern.
429-380=49 and 684-635=49, which both come after one of the above, but still not a pattern as far as I see.
@rowanmikaio,
Also, this is the 400th LC, so I've looked a bit at the old ones, but I can't see any relation between the first few (or the most recent few) and the numbers given.
@rowanmikaio,
I was thinking about berries and prices...
thought maybe like bty or caption contest etc things with rounds and such but
I'm as clueless as all of you are.
if anyone knows Mystery Pic, I'm looking for help. ^__^
@seanman1224,
Sean- someone posted a link to their blog which has LC and Mystery Pic answers if you want to look at that ^ ^
I'm not sure if they have the current MP answer up yet though.
It's a series, guys.
Look at the first 3 terms and look at them.
134 - 84 = 50
218 - 134 = 84
The common difference to it is 134. Now you only need to find the 400th term. But there's a trick to it and I'm not budging.
@kudosh,
Didn't get it. Subtracted all but don't see any pattern! I get some 84's but that's all.
@kudosh,
Yes, those three work perfectly, but then it falls apart. 296-218 ≠ 134.
Sorry guys, Im pretty much stumped on this one.
It's the 400th, so no biggie that it wasn't going to be hard.
Don't have the Mystery Pic up yet.
@rowanmikaio,
so then 134+84=218
218+50=296.
it goes back and forth!
So it's a pattern of numbers
@seanman1224,
You might want to check your math
218+50= 268, not 296
218+ 78=296
@seanman1224,
218+50 Dosen't Equal 296
This one is truly hard, sorry to budge in. New guy here!
