Lenny Conundrum 197

[mazil]

Assume you correctly answered every Lenny Conundrum that was posted during Year 8 (except this one)... How many Neopoints would you have won from Lenny Conundrum this year?

Finding info for the beginning of April was rather annoying!

The sum of the digits in my answer was 21. Anyone else have the same? I assumed that they meant this calendar year (not Neopets year)

[Alex]

Sum of mine was 10... o.O

*readds* *confirms with someone else* We both got 10. How odd. I got a 6 digit answer.

I also had issues with the start of April

Yeah - I had a look at Pet Central, and as Dec 31/Jan 1 shows that they're going into Y9, I assumed this year was Y8.

[mazil]

Hmm, oh dear. I thought it was quite likely I might have gotten it wrong, because I was rushing to get in early! Mine was 6 digits as well, at least.

[kentieness]

The sum of my 6 digits was 21, too

[Alex]

Okay, now I'm just confused.

o.o

[Ric]

Am worried. April? Any hints?

EDIT: It's ok. I got it.

With April, you need to add a 0 to the broken link so that the date is 03, rather than the 3 that TNT put there

[mazil]

I just used google. That sounds a lot easier though

[Ric]

I messed up somewhere, the sum of my digits was 19. I couldn't be bothered checking through it though. Oh well.

[godfreako]

i got 19 too 6 digit, start with 1 end with 8?

[Ric]

Six digits, starting with a 2, ending with a 9.

I got a sum of 20. Although that's irrelevent, as my brother has pointed out to me that I counted the first time the answer was given this year, and that one would have been posted before the year change >_<

Ack! I counted that one too!

Wouldn't this question be impossible to figure out?

If I assume that I answered all the questions this year of the Lenny Conundrum, then I would have to assume that everyone else reading that question had to, therefore distorting time and space...creating some glitchy plothole of death. Or something to that effect....

Which means the number of people that got the answer would change, there for the answer would change by some strange variable...or the simple'er' way. You would have to go back and add yourself to the number of people that had gotten the answer right, but then if you already did the question and got it right then you wouldn't have to.

That would mean the answer would be different for everyone...or maybe it justs not a possible question...

Or there is no trick and it is solved the easy way...

I'm pretty sure we're meant to assume that we either won it instead of one of the other people who won, or (if you actually did win that particular one) nothing changes at all.

That wasn't clear at all. But I hope you get the point. I don't think anything was meant to be changed.
