@TLW, is that an American or British octillion?
24th November 2022 at 2:04 pm #87359The-Letter-WrigglerParticipant@madness
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).25th November 2022 at 12:00 am #87377The-Letter-WrigglerParticipantWith reference to #2 A SYMBOL IN PLACE

A little logic and counting is all that is required. Maybe the model number is a clue!

The box number 23? 🙂

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.10th December 2022 at 10:01 pm #87473madnessParticipantMy 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.)13th December 2022 at 12:04 pm #87544The-Letter-WrigglerParticipantI HAVE COPIED THESE TWO POSTS FROM ‘THE STORY’ THREAD

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.27th December 2022 at 10:45 am #87767RhydwenParticipant6350?

You are first to give the code so you get the ACCOLADE well done.[Edited by Harry …
Sorry, but you know the rules, I can’t post the challenge without a solution first! Try resubmitting.]

@Rhydwen, Post #87767
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

================================
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

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.29th December 2022 at 12:15 pm #87793The-Letter-WrigglerParticipant@Rhydwen CHRISTMAS TREE
