Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 143). You have won 1213 NP!

Because you were in the first 250 to guess correctly, you also have been awarded a Giant Slice of Neopets Birthday Cake, and receive a trophy and the Lenny Conundrum avatar!

Yours Sincerely,
The Neopets Team!


Major gloat, since I got my gold upgraded to 3x ... about time already...

the answer was 490...
consider the cake as a cylynder, and start calculating from there.

I'm a little mad at myself, because I didnt read the question carefully and thought that the icing covered the whole cake, not just the top of the cake. Silly silly me :(.

New one is out:

Larry, a shy Kacheek shepherd from Meri Acres, was well known for taking great care of his Petpets. He was so devoted to them, in fact, that he had no prolem caring for over the fourteen he had.

Recently, he heard there was a sale on Whinies at Ye Olde Petpets. Always looking for ways to increase his menagerie, Larry really wanted to go. However, the backyard gate was being repaired today, so he didn't dare leave his flock in the yard for fear they would liberate themselves and eradicate his vegetable patch, AGAIN. He would simply have to bring them along.

Larry, being a resourceful Kacheek, decided the best way to handle the situation would be to organize the Petpets in a line. He tied a string to the lead Mazzew's collar, and tied another string from his collar to that of the Angelpuss behind him, and so forth down the line. This way, none of them could become seprated from the others and become irretrevably lost.

Proud of his ingenious solution, Larry held his head with pride as he led his colorful band of fourteen Petpets down the lane. Past a large pile of potatoes, around a giant marrow, over the snoring Turmaculus, and even a playful jump over the Mysterious Symol Hole. Finally, he and his whimsical line of Petpets approached Ye Olde Petpet. Nancy, the blue Ixi that ran the shop, welcomed him.

"Ahh, Larry! A pleasant surprise as always," she said, smiling. "And look at that! Thirteen Petpets in tow with you!"

"Thirteen?!?" he shouted, and whirled around. Larry gasped in horror as he saw that the last bit of string was simply dragging in the dust.


This one was very easy for someone as grammar and spelling-obsessed as me (and being Canadian didn't hurt, either). ;)

I'm reasonably good with grammar and spelling, and I'm not seeing it...>_< *tries reading it through a few more times*

EDIT: I found a few errors by putting it in a word document and scrutinizing any words underlined in red...but I'm not quite sure what to do with them. I wrote down the missing letters, but it doesn’t seem to mean anything intelligible...
