so anyways, I found (well, someone else pointed out) an interesting property with 68 & 68^2. A short bit later, we found out that it worked with 97 (& 97^2). I made a short Python program, and found out that the property actually works with 15, 32, 65, 68, 97, 98, 99, each with their respective square.
@North I looked at it, didn't see any actual clear things to do that would make the puzzle more than "try a bunch of stuff until you figure out what vaguely-clued extraction technique you were looking for"
Four marathon runners, each identified with a positive whole number, sit around a table. Each of them notices that their own number has a common divisor with the number of the runner sitting on his right but none with the number of the runner sitting opposite.
If the sum of the four runner's num...
This is not the usual $8, 5, 4, 9, 1, 7, 6, 3, 2, 0$ sequence puzzle, which the answer of the pattern is
The sequence is: $3, 9, 1, 5, 7, 0, 2, 4, 8, 6$. Can you figure the pattern of this sequence?
if one person has a common divisor with the person on their left, then the person on their left has a common divisor with the person on their right (the same one person)
What they say: "The sun is even a live capture of the real thing!" What they mean: "We scrape the Sun image directly off of NASA's website, then rescale it to 144x144px in your browser"
The following are the words of a great mad man.
You have to find his name
In time you will know what it's like to lose.
To feel so desperately that you're right,
that to fail all the same.
Dread it
Run from it
Destiny still arrives
Hint:
I met a fellow puzzler from a certain country and district. When I asked where he was from, he replied,
My prefix is anagram
My suffix is anagram
My infix is anagram
Where is he from?
While sleeping some fiendish creature has absconded with my wallet! He left this note, and each clue gives me a letter. Can you help me figure out where my wallet went?
The middle of my brothers I thought I was a car, but maybe I'm just dead. Better use my tail.
You'll need the right p...
Maybe a little late, but I think now is the right time. Inspired by original Riley Riddle:
My Suffix,
My Infix,
My Prefix,
It's all from Youtube not from Netflix
Who am I?
On regular SE sites, bouties are meant to push interest in a question and - as soon as possible - attract some sort of attention. This works, to some extend, on PuzzlingSE as well, but the bounty-system is subtle different.
Here, it is often more a "price-tag" for a puzzle, trying to convince th...
I'm easy to start
But hard to finish
You might spend time with me at night
Or while you're at work
Sometimes simple things turn into me
And that is the worst
What am I?
This is my first puzzle, so forgive me if I've left something out.
Some say I'm real, some say I'm not,
but all would agree that I'm very hot.
I jump around from place to place,
Lighting up whatever I touch.
If you confront me face to face,
You won't be left with much.
With a shoc...
What creed you be, I can translate you
So you will end up something known
And change you from whatever state to
Whatever state my end is shown
Prepared to serve, I have my traces
Tied down perforce to set you free
Unmoving, I will take you places
But only when you've turned into ...
I am small, tall, and I maul.
I killed your family, but innocent I am.
I killed your friend, yet look at who I am.
I haunt the shadows, I saw you yesterday,
Killed your friend the next day.
Who am I?
As with my previous puzzle I made the 12 "rooms" larger but kept the same rules. I'm also adding the link to the rules for those that don't know the puzzles Click me!
And have fun!
(01) shrunken by boob and I try even harder
(02) I'll never give a single hair to the carder
(03) drupy and pitted and jammed in the larder
(04) but when throwing or dancing I'm jumping with ardor
(05) some call me small, but they don't know jack
(06) while one of my brothers play...
Some pop-culture knowledge is needed for this one.
Trapped in my prison, I await my release.
If I ever escape, I will make all men cease.
Demon, Devil, both are my name.
Flute, bassoon, I am the same.
My son will fight what we've become,
Together with God, they will be one.
