Lenny Conundrum #159

[stampsyne]

Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 158). You have won 4339 NP!

Because you were in the first 250 to guess correctly, you also have been awarded a Ten Dubloon Coin, and receive a trophy and the Lenny Conundrum avatar!

The answer was 106. How you ask? Take a look at this picture and my thanks to the friend who found this graphic

Old Cap'n Bloodhook, the captain of The Black Pawkeet, has spent the better part of the past week packing away his hoarded dubloons. He has hardly gotten any sleep.

So, you want to talk to him about last week's Lenny Conundrum, but you're not sure if you should approach him if he's not in a good mood. So you ask one of his deckhands how he's feeling.

"I can't really tell you," the deckhand says. "If he overhears me talking about his mood, I'll surely be walking the plank before long." But he hands you a piece of paper with a code on it. "If you can figure this out," he says, "you'll learn how he's feeling right now."



How is Old Cap'n Bloodhook feeling?

Good luck everyone. *ponders*

Some grapics I made to show the answer to the last one:

The answer is not 105:


The answer is 106:


See the difference up top?

Unfortunately, I didn't notice that possibility until AFTER saying 105...

Exactly what happened to me too, dolphinling

A little late here but I think I finally solved it and I wish I was around when it first came out.


On the last one I missed out since I thought it was 100 until I later realized the truth. I guess that what happens when you try to submit the answer fast for a gold trophy.

This new one is fairly easy. I just hope I got my answer in in time.

Here's the solution for 159 including mathematics, as a PNG image:

Got the 106 one.

You were essentially maximising 10m+9n subject to
m*2 + n*2*[sqrt(3)-1] <= 20, leading to m = 7, n= 4 (I used trial and error there)

But I did not get the prize.

LOL

I am still trying to suprise my friend to no avail

LC157 I sent too late.
LC158 I sent in 100.

And of course this one stumps me, I hope its not another outside the box answers.

HINT: Someone said the answer is in HEX. whatever that means.

[Mimi]

This one was really easy. I had this figured out in a minute. (At least, I hope I have it correct.) :-D

After someone said that the answer is in HEX, it clicked for me.

Anyone else get it? ;-)

[endeavourl]

another low payout I'm guessing, and I came home a couple hours too late for the item. The answer was all over the boards. O well, just another LC like the others.

Ok, I have yet to get a lenny conundrum, can anyone give me a hint on this new one, I'm not asking for the answer but perhaps someone could at least point me in the right direction.

[Blk Mage]

All you need to know is hexadecimals, and even saying that is a bit much. But once you get it, use common sense and it'll work out in a matter of minutes.

[mashette]

ok, now im even more confused... all i get for hexadecimals is a range of numbers/colours? How is that supposed to help determine his mood!

[dingfutz]

Okay, I applied all the codes to hexadecimals and I still can't figure out what on earth the series of colours is supposed to tell me about how he's feeling? Help!
