Kuroida Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ok. I've been practicing the conundrum for years from when I was a little kid on my old account to now. A few times I get the answer right but I was never in the top 250...UNTIL NOW! :D So now that i've FINALLY gotten it I feel like I just had to share :P I honestly can not believe some people can get into the top 250 30 something times. It took me ages just to get in once! >.< Share your own wins and loses here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Oh congrats! I've been trying on and off for a while, but no luck. I should try harder. That's awesome! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Awesome congrats! *high fives* I won it too from last wednesday :laughingsmiley: I was in the top 250 too xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masaryk Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I didn't have a chance to work on last week's conundrum. How did you find the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I tried looking at this weeks, and I couldn't figure anything out. That's why I never get anywhere... if I don't get it right away, I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 It was kinda easy after you figured out the pattern. It had a pattern of neopets that appeared sometimes in groups right? Well I went on Sunnyneo first and saw their guide on ALL the past Advent Calendars animation. Starting with December 2nd, 2000 you would see the Snow Faerie, then head on the December 3rd, 2001 and you see a JubJub and so on. Just keep going down that pattern of the animations and you'll see this ^^ December 2nd, 2000: Snow Faerie December 3rd, 2001: Jubjub December 4th, 2002: Usul December 5th, 2003: Bruce December 6th, 2004: Tonu, Chomby, and Pteri December 7th, 2005: Poogle, Usul, and Moehog December 8th, 2006: Skeith and Eyrie December 9th, 2007: Kougra and Mynci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 :laughingsmiley: No wonder I'd never figure these things out. I never think of stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing. I'm not that enthusiastic about this week's LC. I don't like the math ones. I must have a different pattern of rounding than TNT, because I always end up being off by 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 The math ones are the only ones I could do :P I got last weeks because it was like the day of the Advent Calendar and my first thought was "it has to be related!" And yeah. I used the TDN archives and just ctrl+F'ed until I noticed the pattern :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I actually entered this weeks. I'm fairly confident that I got it right. I really hope I did. And I hope I got in the first 250. I want the avatar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritzie Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thank you I read the birthday candle one wrong, so I got that one wrong. (Otherwise I would have gotten that one.) So I tried to be extra careful with reading this one a few times. I wish I didn't have to wait a week to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozora Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I've only figured out ONE of the conundrums LOOONG ago, never of the first 250, and only because someone told me the answer. i do like to see if I can figure it out even if I get lost, haha. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I got the birthday candle one right but I didn't get into the top 250 -_- And I didn't even know the new one was up until Spritzie said she answered it...it's a math one. It should be pretty simple....but I got like over 5 million o.0 XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Um, 5 million is much, much higher than what I got. I just submitted mine. I've gotten some right, but I can't seem to get in the top 250. I don't think I check soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayHumbert Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I just submitted my answer for the current one. I think I submitted within the hour it was out, hope i'm able to get the avvie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrin of Neopia Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm excited that I finally got an answer right, but wasn't in the top 250. & now it's a math one, which is just not my best subject. I guess I'm better at random ones . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvenstrawberry Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yeah I had to brush up on my math a bit for this one. It's not my strong suit. :whistle: I got it last week though, and finally got the avatar. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fever Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I just submitted my answer last night. I've never tried the conundrums before, but I figured I'd give it a shot because I had a good idea of the equation I'd probably need :P by the way, elvenstrawberry, LOVE the siggy. My puppy does that to me every night at like 2am. >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Lenny Conundrums make me feel stupid because I'm not good at puzzles at all despite my Medical education , so I never try to even look at them <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubinator Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It was kinda easy after you figured out the pattern. It had a pattern of neopets that appeared sometimes in groups right?

Starting with December 2nd, 2000 you would see the Snow Faerie, then head on the December 3rd, 2001 and you see a JubJub and so on. I definitely thought of this. I watched like, 4 animations, didn't figure out a pattern, got bored, and went to do something else. I've managed to get an obscure one like this before, but I've yet to be in the first 250.

whitcoveswift Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have a silver trophy in Lenny Conundrum, thanks to the math question a few weeks ago (the one with liquid filling a given volume). They're the only ones I can answer quickly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fever Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Woot, congrats Whitcoveswift! I've always wondered if there was a secret to the conundrums... Someone good with patterns should try and find it xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitcoveswift Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Some of them can be really crazy, like the faerie's ruin battledome question about a month(?) back. Those take (a lot of) time and thinking and luck, as in hoping not enough people got it right before you. As a rough guide, be waiting on the day the new conundrum is due to be announced, and hope it's a relatively easy math question, like this week's, that anyone can answer in a couple of minutes. And make sure you're one of the top few to do so! If it helps, LC seems to involve more maths questions now, compared to when I started. :D Good luck everyone!
