    Round number: 268
    Puzzle:A Grarrl was walking down a path one day when Illusen appeared in front of it. "Solve this puzzle, and you may pass," she said.

    Another ancient tomb in the Lost Desert has the following grid of letters engraved on the tomb door:

    [​IMG]

    If the correct letters are engraved on the tomb door, it will open. However, the last column of letters is missing.

    If you figure out what the missing letters are and read down the last column of letters, what will it spell? For example, if the last column's letters were A, B, C, D, E, and F, you would submit "ABCDEF". Please submit your answer with NO SPACES; do not submit ANY information other than the answer. Otherwise, your submission may be disqualified.

    Working out:If you turn each letter into a number (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc) then you have:

    3, 11, 19, 1, 9
    3, 13, 23, 7, 17
    11, 23, 9, 21, 7
    9, 23, 11, 25, 13
    10, 26, 16, 6, 22
    16, 8, 26, 18, 10

    The first row you add 8 to the preceding number each time. If you get to 26 then the next number is 1 (because there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet).

    The second row adds 10 to the preceding number each time.

    The third row adds 12, etc.

    This gives you the final column as:

    17, 1, 19, 1, 12, 2

    Translate those numbers into their respective letters
    Answer:QASALB

    This time I didn't work it out myself, I copied this from another forum. Didn't see it soon enough, otherwise I would've done it myself. :)

    The Monoceraptor was walking down a path one day when a babaa appeared in front of it. "Solve this puzzle, and you may pass," it said.
    Another ancient tomb in the Lost Desert has the following grid engraved on the tomb door:

    You must fill in each empty square with a digits from 1-9 such that the vertical sums of the digits match the number above the column, and the horizontal sums match the numbers to the left of the row. No digit will be used more than once in a set. Once you figure out the digits, multiply all of the digits in the circled squares to get your answer.
    What number will you get when you multiply the circled digits? Please submit only a single number as your answer; do not submit ANY information other than the answer. Otherwise, your submission may be disqualified.

    Re: LENNY CONUDRUM ANSWERS ONLY!!! NO TALKING!

    Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure this is right since I did it myself. I recommend you read through the logic and if you find an error, point it out in the discussion forum so it can get fixed.

    Round Number: 270
    Puzzle:

    The Monoceraptor was walking down a path one day when a Babaa appeared in front of it at exactly 8:06 AM.

    The next day, the Monoceraptor was walking down the same path, and the Babaa appeared in front of it at 6:03 PM.

    The next day, the same thing happened at 11:05 AM.

    The next three days were at 3:09 PM, 5:05 AM, and 4:01 AM.

    What time did the Babaa appear in front of the Monoceraptor on the seventh day? Submit your answer in the exact same time format as above. For example, if it occured at 9:15 in the evening, you would submit 9:15 PM. Do not include any extra information other than your answer.

    Working out:

    Ugh, this is complicated. I came up with most of the answer myself and found the last (and likely hardest) part on the internet, but I'm not sure if it's right. (I would've never guessed the final part, anyway) If you consider 8:06 time zero, then the time elaspsed between babaa's showing up are...

    33 hrs, 57 mins
    17 hrs, 2 mins
    28 hrs, 4 mins
    13 hrs, 56 mins
    22 hrs, 56 mins

    This actually fits a relatively simple pattern.

    For the hours...

    33 - 17 = 16
    28 - 13 = 15
    22 - x1 = 14

    Therefore x1 = 8.

    For the minutes...

    57 + 2 = 59
    4 + 56 = 60
    56 + y1 = 61

    Therefore y1 = 5.

    Therefore, 8 hrs and 5 mins have elasped since our last babaa sighting, and I'm thinking problem solved. Hooray. So for our times elasped data, we now have.

    33 hrs, 57 mins
    17 hrs, 2 mins
    28 hrs, 4 mins
    13 hrs, 56 mins
    22 hrs, 56 mins
    8 hrs, 5 min

    But there's a problem. If you add 8 hrs, 5 min to 4:01 AM (the time of the last sighting), you get 12:06 PM. But that's still Day 6. So I tried something else.

    If you go back to the data and look at the hours alone again...

    33 - 17 = 16
    17 - 28 = -11
    28 - 13 = 15
    13 - 22 = -9
    22 - 8 = 14
    8 - x2 = -7

    Therefore x2 = 15

    Look at the minutes:

    57 + 2 = 59
    2 + 4 = 6
    4 + 56 = 60
    56 + 56 = 112
    56 + 5 = 61
    5 + y2 = ?

    Every other sum seems to fit an obvious pattern, but 6, 112, ? essentially means nothing to me. This is where I needed the help of the internet, and as it turns out...

    The Absolute Value of (60 - 6) = 54.
    The Absolute Value of (60 - 112) = 52.

    Therefore, the Absolute Value of (60 - ?) = 50.

    Of course, there's two solutions to this equaltion (? = 10, 110) which is an issue that the website didn't address. I think it's assumed that we pick ? = 10 because picking 110 would give us a y2 (minutes) value of over 60, and while that is physically possible, I think we ought to pick the value under 60 since none of the other minutes values exceeded 60. Plus, thinking about this again, the absolute value part isn't even really necessary. You could just assume the signs alternate. A (-1)^n sort of thing where n starts at 0, for those of you who've done alternating series/sequences.

    Nonetheless, we get 5 + y2 = 10. Therefore y2 = 5. Recall that x2 = 15. Therefore, 15 hrs and 5 mins have elapsed since the last babaa appearance. Add those hours/mins to 12:06 PM and you get 3:11 AM.

    Answer: 3:11 AM

    Round:280
    Question: A Chomby was walking down a path one day when Jhudora appeared in front of it. "Solve this puzzle, and you may pass," she said.

    Suppose a1 is the first digit (after the decimal point) of Pi, a2 is the second digit, and so on...

    What would the following formula equal:

    (a1 - a2) * (a2 - a3) * (a3 - a4) * ... * (a99 - a100)

    Working: Twice in the 1st 100 numbers two numbers repeat.

    Therefore we will have * 0. meaning the whole answer is 0

    Answer:0

    this weeks question (dont know answer sorry)

    Things have been busy at the National Neopian Bank lately, and one of their regular customers came in one day last week and deposited 1663 Neopoints. A few days later, that same customer deposited 1527 Neopoints. A few days after that, he deposited 1126 more Neopoints. Then later, 1096 Neopoints.

    What will be his next deposit? Please submit only a number, and omit any punctuation or extra information.

    Please read the title. Answers only - Commy

    Re: LENNY CONUDRUM ANSWERS ONLY!!! NO TALKING!

    EDIT: woops, didn't see that the answer was given in the post before. Well, I figured this out all by myself, plus I properly formatted my answer :yup:

    Round: 290
    Puzzle:
    Working out:
    The first deposit is the sum of the Neopoints given out from the Advent Calendar on the first 3 days (324 + 945 + 394 = 1663)
    The second deposit is the sum of the Neopoints given out from the Advent Calendar on the next 3 days (295 + 953 + 279 = 1527)
    The third deposit is the sum of the Neopoints given out from the Advent Calendar on the next 3 days (273 + 479 + 374 = 1126)
    The fourth deposit is the sum of the Neopoints given out from the Advent Calendar on the next 3 days (179 + 278 + 639 = 1096)
    So obviously the fifth deposit is the sum of the Neopoints given out from the AC on the next 3 days (730 + 579 + 437 = 1746)

    Answer: 1746

    Re: LENNY CONUDRUM ANSWERS ONLY!!! NO TALKING!

    Round Number: 291
    Puzzle:

    A = The number of courses served to a certain Pirate Tuskaninny at a certain Grog Hall

    B = One half of one half of the number of items that appear on one page of the auction house.

    C = The maximum multiplier in Super Hasee Bounce

    D = The level of your shop if you just paid 3000 NP to upgrade it.

    E = The number of minutes it took Hannah to swim to the edge of the lake

    F = The square root of the number of guild neighborhoods (rounded to the nearest whole number, if necessary)


    A + B - C + D + E + F = ?

    Logic:

    A: There are 10 courses at the Food Club where Fairfax the Deckhand eats. (10)
    B: There are 20 items on the auction page at a time. Half of half of twenty is 5. (5)
    C: The maximum multiplier in Super Hasee Bounce is x5. (5)
    D: Shops cost 200NP per level purchased. 3000NP/200NP=Lvl15. (15)
    E: In the neopedia, "Hannah and the Pirate Caves 2", Hannah arrived at the edge of the lake after swimming for 10 minutes. (10)
    F: There are 25 guild neighborhoods. The square root of 25 is 5. (5)

    As such, 10 + 5 - 5 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 40
    Answer: 40

    Re: LENNY CONUDRUM ANSWERS ONLY!!! NO TALKING!

    i think you got it wrong with shop size it would be 16 because level one is making one that costs 150 level 2 is 200 and so on so i got 41 as my answer
