2007 The year in Riddles thread (renamed)

Angel, the short answer is that the sum of numbers that you got by subtracting the two numbers will always be divisible by 9. So after leaving out the one that you circled (if you circle a 0 it will screw everything up tho) you add the remaining numbers until you get a single digit number. The difference between that number and 9 is the number you circled.

For example:

6543-3456 = 3087
If you circle the 8 then you are left with 307. 3+0+7 = 10. 1+0 = 1. 9-1 = 8, which is the number you circled. If you circled the 3 then 0+8+7 = 15, 1+5 = 6, 9-6 = 3. If you circled the 7 then 3+0+8 = 11, 1+1 = 2, 9-2 = 7.

Jumbling the numbers is irrelevant since you are adding them.

It really is pretty simple as long as you know what the trick is

Ah, a fellow math nerd. Good to see!

I figured that much out, though one thing still eludes me... WHY is it that when you subtract those two numbers, the result is always divisible by 9?

I am not a math nerd, I have just seen this before. If you do a search you can find some sites that explain the relationship that makes it divisible by 9.

I'm not a math nerd either, but I remember that in most relationships 9 really likes to cuddle and is a bit needy.

And we're off again. Actually most of us are always a bit off.

good morning folks

i'll be out all morning, but back this afternoon

Andrew owes Bob $50, Bob owes Carl $10, Carl owes Andrew 30$, Andrew owes Dave $20, Dave owes Carl $40

What is the simplest way for them to settle up????

PM when you've figured it out

I think they should find a new set of friends!

This could be trouble....the vending machine guy just dropped off a load of outdated candy and snacks in our work area.

I smell a feeding frenzy coming!!!

if you work with women and its chocolate, be afraid, be very afraid!

Even if there isn't chocolate be afraid, be very afraid

You can't hide it from us, Joey. You are a most loveable math nerd.

Ok...it's the weekend, Pal....start finishing this thread before the New year!

DAVID, THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL RIDDLE. DON'T PM YOURSELF.

I'm bored, so let's do a riddle chain! One person asks a riddle, others post their guesses until someone gets it right. After that, someone else posts a new riddle.

And of course off-topic conversation and chatter is welcome and encouraged!!


Here's the first riddle:

Little miss Etticote
Wears a white petticoat
Shorter and shorter she grows;
And yet, stranger still
Her warmth you can chill
By nipping her little red nose.

Debbie Boone

Hey! Confused people must do well here! Angel got the last one!

I will do an easy one for Duck

What is so fragile that you break it when you mention its name?

That's easy?

If anyone here knows easy, well...

Okay, I am as light as a feather, but the strongest man can't hold me for much more than a minute.

A dust brush?

pm me when you know the answer, or to offer me a bribe Heading out to work now so the TU's will follow shortly.



The weird kid


Why did the kid throw butter out the window?

Donna leads!!

It begins.

Dork

But not just any dork.

Just not a good day and a nice hot sexy half dressed man could have made my day a little brighter.

But that.

Better?

Good Morning Riddlers!

Send a PM when you know the correct answer!

A snail is at the bottom of a well and wants to get out. He manages to crawl up the wall 3 feet each day, but at night he must rest ( after all that work during the day ) and so he slips back down 2 feet. If the well is 30 feet deep, How long will it take him to get out?

Both in at 6:51am our leaders for the day are:

Angel

Duck

I don't know if I want to be IN today.


and YAY a riddle!

Three months later........

and hey... I need a mint! My first answer was wrong! Do you believe it?

Maybe this will get Boxer over here

Maybe this will get AA here!

Does that mean I have to be nice


oh and




WOOOO HOOOOTY LOU!!!

You're always nice. Although you didn't show me a picture of the new hairdo.

Do you really want to see? I know I probably look nothing like you think I do

You two need to get a room or somethin'....

I totally agreed with you at the time. The riddle died shortly after, and yet a few green lights stayed on into the wee hours that day...

 

[L107ANGEL]

You two are killing me
