ZOMG! It'z Puzzlez!!

Ok. You're on the right path BUT THE TEACHER IS MALE.

The grades between the 9 people use the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0

Now I just feel silly for not knowing they used 0. Okay, got it now:

3  10 5
8  6  4  <-- Girl, boy, girl, this time
7  2  9

So, the highest score for a boy is 9

As for showing how I got the answer, just added 1 to all the numbers in my first guess and moved them around a little bit

Wow... +rep for being so smart.

I'll update the first post with the answer when I get home. I'll end up being a bit more elaborate in my explanation though.

Added a few more rather nice puzzles for you all to work on.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set 5

38. If 8-22-5-22-13 equates to seven, and 7-4-12 makes two, how would you write ten? Why?

39.The following word square makes a fractured proverb. If you start at the corrent letter and proceed in any direction, one letter at a time, using each letter only once, you will find the fractured proverb.

40. Back in the day where there were maidens around who could see unicorns, two of the young ladies passed a field in which some unicorns and some rams were prancing about. One young lady remarked that she could see a total of fourty-four horns. The other young lady remarked that there were twice as many unicorns as rams. How many unicorns and how many rams were there?

41. The same five letters, if rearranged, can be used to fill in both sets of blanks in the following sentence, to make a sensible sentance:
Each bank _ _ _ _ _ that is has the very best plan for each _ _ _ _ _.

42. What comes next in the following series? Why?
J-31  A-31  S-30  O-31  N-30 _-__

43. What is the next letter in the following sequence? Why?
A D G K O T _

40. 22 Unicorns, 11 Rams

42. D-31 for December, 31 Days
43. I'm not sure about this one, but I am going to guess Y, based on the idea that each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a number 1, ..., 26 and the pattern seems to be +3, +3, +4, +4, +5, __. Assuming it is +5, the answer would be Y.

...I'm too tired to think about the others.

Correct.

Any more guesses?

38. I know that this is totally wrong, but ... (8 + 22 + 5 + 22 + 13) mod 21 = 70 mod 21 = 7 mod 21, and (7 + 4 + 12) mod 21 = 2 mod 21, so if that's not a total coincidence then you could write 10 as any number with remainder 10 when divided by 21 ... so for example (8-12-6-22-5-22-19) = 10 mod 21. My only other idea is that it is the # of digits - 1, in which case the number I gave would still work. As I said before, it's definitely wrong.


For the bank one, are the words restricted to 5 letters, or could it have repeated letters, like the word teller is composed of only 5 letters, but is 6 characters...

nimber one is wrong. The bank one has 5 letters, they don't repeat.

#38  The numbers are the place that the corresponding letter falls in the alphabet backwards (i.e. S is 8th from last, so it's 8, E is 22nd from last, so it's 22, ect.) Thusly, "ten" would be 7 - 22 - 13

#39  "All the glitters gets stolen"

Alas, no idea on 41, that one seems tough

39, all THAT glitters gets stolen. But you were right on all of them. 41 is really hard though. Me and my friends couldn't solve it until my teacher gave us the answer.

Ah, thanks for fixing my typo, that's embarrassing. I got a bit ahead of myself, it seems.

Still no ideas on 41, though I have a feeling I'm going to kick myself after someone else gets the answer right

It's been quite a while since I've updated this so I supposed I may as well. I've been busy lately and haven't gotten around to it. It's currently been updated with another set.

Oh, I haven't seen you around for a while Lominisio, hi 

I'll take a look at the puzzles

44. He's not driving the car home, he's walking.

45. Matt, since he's not dead

46. February?

47. 45 AD

48. Because if he died instantly, she wouldn't have known what he was dreaming about.


50. 7

I'ma do them now. Long time no see, man. I'll edit this post if noone posts once I get an answer. XD

You only got #47 wrong. I need to put some harder ones up. These seem too easy to solve.

And hello everyone.

Wait, for 49, the needle doesn't move at all so technically it doesn't travel. Also, for 47, is it 46 AD because there is no such thing as 0?

The needle does move.

And yes, it is 46AD.

I also got the CYGTNLIT but I cheated so I'm not going to reveal it. Or, I might reveal it and Lom can give credit to whoever guesses why it is.

Meh. Cheater... 

Yeah, which option should I do? Also, I thank my cheating because I found a wonderful puzzle site. XD

errm... S

Can You Guess The Next Letter In This Series

If not, it's a huge coincidence.

Can you link to the puzzle site moo?

That was right. http://www.zuzzle.com/index.php?random It's not that wonderful but it's still enough to keep me occupied.

It's right. Did you cheat too? 

of course not! I have more integrity then mooface 

I wonder if he minds me calling him mooface
