Here's one for you math whizzes


What is special about the number 854917632?

Both of you are incorrect.

BTW, a balloon filled with helium would make the barrel lighter, but not by 20 pounds.



Sorry, but I was in fact correct. You said she put something in the barrel which made it lighter THAN 20 pounds, not lighter BY 20 pounds. I win.

It's made up of every integer 1-9.

I get the feeling this is not going to be exciting at all.

Edit; It's divisible by all numbers 1-9.

I wish you would have written: "It is composed mostly of integers" or "It is composed almost entirely of integers."

For some reason, that would have made me laugh very, very hard.

A neat FYI; If the integers in the number total 9 or a multiple of 9, the number is divisble by 9.


Example:

89424

8+9+4+4+2=27

89424/9 = 9936

You really need to define your questions better, or at least tell us where/how we're off track.

If I recall correctly, there's ~22 1.5 ounce shots in a 750ml bottle, which is completely inconsequential.

80 proof = 40% alcohol by volume.

.40 x 750ml (assuming that's what you drank) = 300 ml of pure alcohol.

Soooo lame. 12 hours? A fifth? Some people staged an intervention, once. You think people stage interventions when the intervened can only put away a fifth in 12 hours? No. No, they don't.

You sicken me...

Fine. The closest you guys got was that it includes all digits from 1-9. But that's only half of why it's special. Think about the order of the digits.

Is the second half related to "math"? ie. Would this be interesting, say, if we were french?

Answer:

The number is special because it has all the digits 1-9 in alphabetical order.

this is all well and good, but no one is answering my riddle which is just as cool. again: move one digit so that this equation works.

if you mean you can move one symbol rather than one digit, then maybe tear off part of the = and use it to make the - into the =, thus:

101 = 102 - 1
augmented
no. move a digit. one of the numbers.

move the 2 so it 10 to the 2nd power

101 - 10^2 = 1

101-100=1

1=1

Romeo and Juliet are fish, hence the broken glass and water. Then died to due being out of the water.

Is wilderness a plant that was in the fish bowl and was there a tiny log cabin and tracks in the bowl as well?

Yes to the first half. They were in a fishbowl that was in a log cabin that was in the wilderness. A train came by and the vibration caused the fishbowl to fall over and break, killing romeo and juliet.

Actually, juliet just pretended to be dead, but held some water in her gills. Romeo thought she was dead and killed himself by not holding water in his gills. Than Juliet let the water go and killed herself when she saw Romeo had killed himself.

Ok, here's a math one :

You have 100 employees at your gold mine. Each one of them are of different size, shape, look and weight. They all extract 100 bags containing 100 grams of gold each day.

But one of them is stealing you. This unknown one steals 1 gram per bag he carries, hence 100 grams.

To find out who is the culprit, you have a scale that can weigh ONLY ONCE...

How, with only the help of the scale and using it only one single time, can you find which employee is the stealer?

I'll check back tomorrow morning...
