Izzy ♥ Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 I'm all for keeping you all in suspense actually :D But I'll put it to the vote - if more of you want me to put them up then I can. Bonus 6 ? 7 ? 11 ? 3 ? 2 ? 5 ? 12 = 9 Which of the four basic math signs (+, -, x, /) should replace the question marks so that the calculation equals nine?
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 okay the answer is LOL JK. So I can't do the bonus puzzle until next time?
Izzy ♥ Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 No you can't, sorry Ellie! It does make it fairer though, I suppose...
Izzy ♥ Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah, only one person gets the points for a bonus, so the answers can be posted here :yes: Puzzle 5 coming, just gotta upload the images.
Justin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Can we add brackets besides the four basic signs? If yes, (6-7+11+3)x2-5-12=9
Myriad Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Is it all one sign, like 6+7+11+5+6 etc. or is it like 6+7-3/4?
Justin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Is it all one sign, like 6+7+11+5+6 etc. or is it like 6+7-3/4? I think it's the latter. It's pretty impossible to do it with just one sign.
Izzy ♥ Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah, its a combination of signs, and no brackets. I'll give you a bonus point for the one that has brackets though Justin :) Puzzle Number Five Once you've filled in all the words, take the letters in the shaded squares and rearrange the letters to form a four-word phase (4-4-1-4) which you should PM to me. This is worth 16 points. Don't forget the bonus is still answerable too.
Justin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Down 3, the clue says 4, however the crossword says 5. Which is correct? EDIT: Same problem with Down 7 also. EDIT: I got it!! 6-7+11-3-2x5+12=9.
Glorious Gilbil Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Is this 4 word phrase a common one?? I have the letters Im just stuck at making a phrase
Wells Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 OMG... Im skipping this puzzle because i totally suck at crosswords! lol
Justin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I am not that bad at crosswords but I'm simply stuck here. Lucky we have 2 days to figure it out. I got the ones on the sides solved, but the ones in the center... horrible. There're just too many possibilities for that meaning.
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 4 word phrase or phase? And what does 4-4 1-4 mean? o_O
Izzy ♥ Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Oooh, sorry about the wrong letters in the clues! For those ones (and any others you might find) the length in the crossword is always right, the clues'll be the ones that are wrong :* 4-4-1-4 means the sentence is four words, first with 4 letters 2nd with four letters, third with 1 and the last with 4. And yes, its a fairly common sentence. And, yeah Justin got the last bonus :D
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 hmm okay so how common is the phrase? Because I mixed the letters and all and I can get many possibilities...
jobo12354 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 There's a lot of possiblities... you peopel are smart...can't even firgure out one word...lol Me: Just a little kid...
Myriad Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Hmm, I have no idea. I can hardly do crosswords, I usually fill in 5 or 6, but then leave it.
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 i have the letters, but i have come up with many phrases o_O so I'm not so sure. A hint would be helpful XD.
Izzy ♥ Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 A hint, eh? Well seeing as this is the only one no-one's been able to do on the first day I'll give one: W--- -p-- - S--- Does that make it easier? Bonus Well, its a bonus so 2 points, and post answers here :D Justin don't forget you can't answer this one!
webpixie Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Wow if it is D I actully knew that one... just not fast enough hehe
Izzy ♥ Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 Yeah it was D. Do you guys like these pattern bonus ones? They came from my UMAT (undergrad medical admissions test) test last year :D Oh, and congrats to Ellie for being the first to get the crossword puzzle!
Ellie_Penguin Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 teehee thanks Isabel! I love pattern puzzles. Does that mean I can become a doctor? JK! I didn't know they had pattern puzzles in tests like that o_O. Fun.
Izzy ♥ Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 Yeah the admissions test has three sections: verbal reasoning, emotional understanding and visual logic (which was about 50 of those pattern questions). It was actually pretty cool, except you only got about a minute for each question :P I have some of the verbal ones too somewhere, I might put one of those up for tomorrow's bonus. Right, the words for puzzle 4 were force, check, night, crowd, and guide :yes: Puzzle Number Six Please, when you send me the numbers - start with the one in the top row then work your way down. If they're not in the right order you won't get the points! Good luck, this one's worth 8 points (or 1 point for each number you get right :)) Remember, PM answers to me!
