how do you know if you won? does it tell you right then?

If you've won, you get a neomail from theneopetsteam, saying what you've won. These usually come just before the new contest (in this case, the next Conundrum) comes out.

New one is up.

The Breadmaster decided to sell the new flavour of cupcake in the Bakery, but he was unsure of how to price it. When he first put it up for sale, he set the price at 3,779,382,983 Neopoints. Obviously, it was way too expensive and nobody bought any.

Next, he decided to lower the price a bit, and tried to sell it for 13,716,864 Neopoints. Still, it was too expensive, and he couldn't sell them.

He lowered the price quite a bit more, and tried selling them for 24,192 Neopoints, thinking that this was a reasonable price. However, his customers didn't agree, and nobody bought them.

Finally, he lowered the price one more time, and people finally started buying them.

How much did he finally sell them for?

You beat me to it ;)

I havn't even got at chance to read it...

i'm trying to figure out the latest one right now. it's not a square root...

Thu Jul 29, 2004 10:31 pm

what about a cubic root?

Some one needs to bust the caculator and do some figuring ...

No. That would only be 1557.66... for the first one

Got it!

Hint: It has to do with multiplication. :)

Thanks for the tip, hope I was in time! :D

i've tried dividing and multiplying all the numbers by themselves... nothing.

Thu Jul 29, 2004 10:40 pm

I got it aswell...
Pretty darn easy...

Hint: It has to do with the digits..

Thu Jul 29, 2004 10:41 pm

Yeah, I got it too, pretty easy ^^
Hint: Use the digits ;)

Question: I submitted X, not X neopoints/NP... can I get the answer right (if I'm in time, of course)?
