When you know which sticks need to be removed, list them in alphabetical order without any spaces or commas.

I got the image in my mind of 6-2 but that took out 12 sticks

Thanks, and what do they mean by "so there's only four left"? As in 4 sticks left or what?

Just what it says. Have 4 left. :P

I got it. LEt me think of how to give a hint......

Hint: Do not think of the question as numbers cos 24-11 is not 4.

There cannot logically be only 4 sticks left when you start with 24 and take away 11 because that leaves 13. Therefore it has to be something that represents four. Unfortunately, digital number 4 contains only four sticks. So does spelling the word four contain only four letters. I am still working on it. It tickles the back of my mind ... right next to my migraine!

:oops: I need to be more careful- I didn't count the sticks I took off. I need to go slower!

Hrm. There are two ways to get this answer...
At least from what I see... :/

Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:01 am

Really? I only see one...

Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:03 am

hey i actually figured this one out all by myself! do you think 250 people have already figured it out by now...hmm probably...darn

Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:03 am

Hint: There are letters connected to those numbers. No boxes needed :P

I thought small, maybe I'll win big

Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:05 am

Look. There is only one answer. I just found it. If anyone wants me to spell it out for them, then too bad. I already have.

Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:08 am

I *think* I got it.... Can I confirm the answer with someone?

Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:08 am

o.O No need to be snarky, flatluigi...

Mokona, sure, pm me.
