    @TLW, is that an American or British octillion?

    It does not really matter in the context of the question both spell it the same.
    The quantity however does matter – in Britain and Germany the number has the value
    of one followed by 48 zeros (10^48), in the US, Canada, and France the number
    is one followed by 27 zeros (10^27).

    Is anyone trying to open the safe given in post #87217?

    A little logic and counting is all that is required. Maybe the model number is a clue!
    The 4 indicating there are 4 numbers and the . . .

    @f6exb 🙂🙂🙂🙂 you or SOMEONE is going to have to open it to find out!

    I am told that the model No. helps the owner to remember the code.
    Please, someone, prove to me that the safe is not secure.

    My solution to the god puzzle:

    Q1 to god A: If I ask you if “ja” means “yes”, and if you ask god C whether you are sitting next to the random god, will the answers be the same?

    It should be obvious what the other questions are, so I leave writing them as an exercise for the reader.
    (Hint: each subsequent question has an additional level of abstraction.)

    6320? (start at the top, C = 3, A = 1, C = 3, 0 for 0)
    4566? (start at the bottom, C = 3, A = 1, C = 3, 0 = no move)

    I punched those numbers in and – – – nothing happened !

    @f6exb

    I see your logic, nice try, unfortunately it is in error.
    Hint: The letters do not reference numbers but words.
    FYI Your first number has one digit incorrect.

    You are first to give the code so you get the ACCOLADE well done.

    Sorry, but you know the rules, I can’t post the challenge without a solution first! Try resubmitting.]

    You are first to give the code so you get the ACCOLADE well done.

    . . . you see a box having the number 21. Removing it from
    the safe you also see NCC on the side. You reach into the box and
    take out a gold medal and a piece of paper bearing the following:

    ooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0Ooo
    cannot undo nothing regarding ruined multimedia the bureau linked agenda takes
    multi orders then stays away offending you every intel is kept endless public
    outcry deduced each web received one article back even twitter
    ooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0Ooo

    WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY MEAN?

    If you solve Do Not post the answer – you are encourageed to give comments on it though.

    If you know how . . .

    TLW WORK THOSE NUMBERS – ANSWERS
    ================================
    Did you get the correct answers to the fun math?

    ============================== ANSWER #1
    IT ALL ADDS UP
    ==============

    15+36+47=98+2=100

    ============================== ANSWER #2
    A Symbol In Place
    =================

    123-45-67+89=100 (uses just 4 symbols)

    Here are two ways you may have found:

    (1*2)+34+56+7-8+9=100 (9 symbols)
    1+(2*3)+(4*5)-6+7+(8*9)=100 (15 symbols)

    There are two more ways I’ll leave for you to find.

    ============================== ANSWER #3
    DIVIDING THE DIGITS
    ===================

    ANSWER: 4321/47531 = 1/11

    ============================== ANSWER #4
    A SURPRISE IN COUNTING
    ======================
    a first appears in One thous(a)nd
    b first appears in One (b)illion
    c first appears in One o(c)tillion
    (I am aware that ‘a’ is very near if we count in reverse: Neg(a)tive One)

    =================================================================
    TLW THREE CARDS – ANSWER
    ========================

    There are three solutions to the four statements
    From left to right:
    The Jack of clubs, Jack of diamonds, Queen of diamonds
    OR: Jack of diamonds, Jack of clubs, Queen of diamonds
    OR: Jack of clubs, Queen of diamonds, Jack of diamonds

    How the safe was opened.

    The clue was in the model number 4CAC0.
    The 4 indicating a four digit code needed.
    Assume diamond forms a ‘circular’ dial then
    each digit pressed indicated how many clicks to then move C or A.
    CAC: The sequence, C = Clockwise A = Anticlockwise.
    A zero being at the end indicated the last digit of the code so
    logic should have shown the need to finish on zero (no more moves).

    In short:
    Starting on left hand 6
    6 clicks Clockwise to 3
    3 clicks Anticlock to 5
    5 clicks Clockwise to 0
    0 moves – it opens.
