Yea, next time I actually plug in the final numbers I get to the original conditions to make sure they work I feel dumb. Oh well.
That's what I submitted too, but now I think it may be wrong, here's my reasoning: Since the decimals we received for the difference and product of the two numbers were decimals JUST beneath 12 and 17, we need to round up on the final product to make it valid.
answer ends up at 1392.05xxxx etc Its nowhere near 1392.5 and if you "round to nearest whole number" (TNT quote) Then 1392 is MUCH closed.
But wouldn't we need to compensate for the fractions of decimals that we didn't quite reach. For example, 11.897w/e is extremely close to 12, but after you multiply what got you there 100 and 50 times, the fractions that were lacking are going to start to add up to something. Idk, mabey I'm just seriously confused. I hope so since I submitted it with the number rounded to 2.
two numbers. X and Y the difference between is 12 therefore Y = X + 12 now, we are told X x Y = 17 so it follows X ( X + 12 ) = 17 which makes X^2 + 12X - 17 = 0 using the quadratic formula (-b (+or-) (b^2-(4xaxc))^1/2))/2a we come up with X = 1.280109 Y = -13.280109 now, i can't remember why, but disregard the -ve sign and we have X = 1.28019 Y = 13.28019 Y x 100 = 1328.019 X x 50 = 64.005 100Y + 50X = 1392.005 == 1392. can someone explain why you take the modulus of Y? i forgot
alex. we all used the precise number correct to whatever DP it was. So there is no rounding anywhere apart from final answer The answer is 1392 with no other possibilites anywhere :x
ok i entered 1392 but i m not sure if it is right now because of what someone posted well i ll wait till the end and +rep whoever's answer is right thanks for the moment lazy and Soc
A= small numbers B = big number C= Big x Small (Aim for 17) A1-A2 = finding the basic numbers A4-A5 = 4 Decimal Place (DP) numbers A7-A10 = Finding the EXACT numbers A12 = 100 x biggest numbers A13 = 50 x smallest numbers C 14 = total of both numbers added together = Final LC answer
Dear Rawr, Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 207). You have won 253 NP! Because you were in the first 250 to guess correctly, you also have been awarded a Orange Filled Jacket Potato, and receive a trophy and the Lenny Conundrum avatar! Yours Sincerely, The Neopets Team! Yeah! Alright!
Thanks again guys.. i wasn't too lazy i just had no idea on how to do it lol I got the last one right but no trophy or prize just something like 200nps oh well
