It does seem way too easy. and the worm might not eat the first and last pages, so it's very marginally less, but we don't get the number of pages per book. i just submitted the simple one

i made a suptid mistake and did the correct thing for book 1 but not for number 5 so i got 2 less than 3E2

Is there anyone around who feels secure in their answer that I can double check mine with? Feel free to PM. Thank you.

It is kind of a trick question.
I like the picture of the books all lined up on the shelf, it helped to visualize the problem.

On semi-related note, I spent an entire semester of elective in high school, working in the library.

I submited the "Simple answere...."

It could be that neo wants us to THINK it was a trick question.

What's the Earthworm Riddle?

I would have preferred to see it as first page on Volume 5 to last page on Volume 1. That would have tripped a few people up :P

lol I submitted the correct answer 8 minutes before it was released. I hope I get the gold trophy! Is gold 1 - 49, silve 50 - 99 and bronze 100 - 250 ?????

Look as I might, I cannot spot anything unusual with the picture. Except only for the one pixel line between the third and fourth volume while all others were two.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I got it, after I solved it. >_>

I'm not sure if this is too much of a hint, but try placing books on your shelf or something.

Nmails were sent out:

Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 145). You have won 856 NP!

Because you were in the first 250 to guess correctly, you also have been awarded a Caring For Your Slugawoo, and receive a trophy and the Lenny Conundrum avatar!

Answer was 194. (look at the picture to work it out).

Because when you close a book and put it on a shelf, the first page is to the right of the spine, not the left. Same with the last page. So the worm didn't have to eat through theentire first and last book, just the covers.

I didn't get mine in in enough time to get the cookie. :(
