I'm trying to solve this puzzle. Numbers are at triangle, and I have to solve ?-mark:
5
6 1
7 2
5 ? 7 5
Based on solutions it should be ?=7. But I don't understand the reason for this
I also put pic of it.
I'm trying to find a solution for the following puzzle. A friend sent it to me and I know that he didn't create it and that's about it for the original source; I tried to find it on the net but I couldn't make it.
Here it goes:
I tried with sums, differences, products, ratio and a difference...
@msh210 Correct. (I was hoping "heads" as a red herring for initial letters meant it would take longer to solve :-P )
@Deusovi I don't really understand what strategy the guests are taking. VTC as unclear (which actually I thought I'd already done when I saw it yesterday).
This is my 3x3 grid:
$$\begin{matrix} 2 & 6 & 8 \\ 3 & 7 & 3 \\ 6 & 4 & x \end{matrix}$$
Here x should be replaced with some number. Based on the solutions it should be x=1. Can anyone explain the logic?
Lots of "missing number" questions coming in today. Made me think they might all be from some ongoing contest, but two of them seem to already know what the answer should be, just not why, so that seems unlikely.
Background
Welp, @Conifers have come up with a great idea: Google Earth Challenge.
It received pretty good feedback, and therefore the OP went on to post more of them.
@athin went on to post a puzzle with seven of them, with a slight twist.
@Randal'Thor then posted his puzzle, and it was that...
This puzzle is based on Where is it? - The Google Earth Challenge series started by Conifers, :D
Don't get sidetracked - this is probably Denver's first.
Name the cartoon bear that loved honey.
Do you remember him, or at least where he likes to sleep?
In the woods! Of course.
I know you, @Mithrandir, well enough by now to know that you understand.
And i've been working on it since 1962 with no solution in sight. Just hope mixed with humo(u)r and helpful gestures on buses and sidewalks.
Two days ago i gave my bus pass to someone at a stop who might not live long enough to use up the buck$. Always worth a try toward a partial solution.
(Yes, i walked, feeling like i'd earned another K of reputation at half the price.)
Four days ago i emptied a cash machine and then refreshed refilled pockets to spill to and buy goods for sidewalk friends whom few would approach.
Everyone around here (Milpitas, CA, USA), including medicos, cops and, most imporant, homeless, know me. I've been all those except cop but play music with one officer.
@Mithrandir , i've been battling a sleeping sickness for the last week and a half and finally feel on top of it. Thank you for caring! And, yes music is.
Remember when Microsoft introduced a tablet back then, and the only reaction was from insects? And then some random fruit vendor introduced their own version, and people flocked in like sheep?
My younger brother, who learned more from me than i've ever known, is working on a next generation of speech recognition but can't yet tell me. For someone named 'ogle.
I am not allowed to say what i've heard beyond the preceding, but you know i'll ask Brother when i see him tomorrow.
@John D, you might know more than i.
And, @John D, if you are truly interested in information, what my brother's father is up to is in the public domain and beyond anything Fourier or Hilbert transforms have reached.
It's called "hyperdimensional computing" but the dog, my dad too, is still working up to a web presence.
> I don't care if you're panting for Ponting of Ponting Punting! By keeping carping and blaming your flaming flim-flamming on our failing filing, you're heading for a hiding, Starling old darling!
Yeh I still can't give out the first hint... Bring it on! :D
This puzzle will provide a screenshot in somewhere on Google Earth, please try your best to identify where the location is. The reasons to find out the location should be part of your answer.
Will give a zoom-out image as the next...
So let's say, if you can guess who the champion team is for soccer, such as in World Cup, then you win a car. Otherwise, you win a goat.
There are 4 teams left. Country A, B, C, and D.
And country A will play country B, to go into Final match.
Country C will play country D, and go into Final ma...
"These guys are strange" exclaimed Grandpa
"Why?" I opened my mouth. Too late.
"They constantly talk about only one country and only one sport-- boring sport if you ask me, and, get this, only one drink!"
"who?" I shouldn't have.
"and why in the world would you discuss only one mon...
It's always amusing to watch two kids who don't trust each other swap baseball cards by exchanging them at exactly the same moment. Words can be equally mistrustful about trading their letters. Watch this:
