Hunter,

I have to say that I agree. I mean, who thought of that question/answer? So twisted!

There are 2 possible answers im sure of it. There is a little difference in numbers

[Asthaloth]

What sort of maths do u need?
Ive been studying it for ages but can't get the answer

If you've taken a geometry class, you are familiar with it.

....OH
cheers, the rest didnt help for sqaut to be honest
now just hafta work out 20 places.

as for one more clue.
the prize is relevant...but only vauegly

[bobsagat76]

OMG I enterede the number of ppl on the 20th day, not the totall....CRAP

[rockunroll]

13 14 95 62 25

Constants are evil.

shouldn't it be

13 14 95 62 35?

[Jasujo]

shouldn't it be

13 14 95 62 35?

That's what I got.

Did anybody find these clues ridculous under normal standards?

Oh wait.......I guess the stupid clue does make sense.......but why did you have to be REALLY OBSCURE? I mean, it was like I had to solve two problems instead of one.....

I bet you just did that to make yourselves feel better. Are you satisfied with yourself now? I mean, come on! What's with the clue?

You should be thankful people here give clues at all. The people who figured it out could just keep it quiet and get a bigger part of the neopoint pool, but they're nice enough to give hints. I'm always thankful
for any hints, even obscure ones. Besides, I'd rather the hints be obscure than so easy that everyone who reads them gets it right away.

Anyway, circles, crusty dessert, math, no repeating... that should be enough for a lot of people.

By the way, the neoboards spoiled it again. I don't think it would matter if they did or did not give clues, because sooner or later it becomes an idiot grab bag in the prize pool. So where's your precious threat now? (that sounds more uppity than I want that to.) Also, all the other ones had easy clues also, so if they were meant to be hard, now's a good time to start.

At least your hints make sense. I mean, sheesh, just saying 'dessert' doesn't evoke anything on the first level of thinking. I could say that the clue starts with a letter on the bottom half of the alphabet. That really darn helps. Topped with whipped cream? There's tons of things topped with whipped cream.

Never mind. It's more fun when you feel any anger towards the general question. That means it's a good one.

I guess I am confused by what you think would *actually* be a good hint. In my mind, a clue is suppose to get you thinking about the conundrum in other way ... which will perhaps lead you to the correct way of thinking. As you pointed out, I think all the clues do make sense...and I don't think they were as vague as "last half of the alphabet"

What are we suppose to say? Well, just take *bleep* and take every *bleep* and *bleep* ... then you just *bleep*. It's as easy as that.

I think the hints are fun and creative. I actually liked my hint ... I'm sorry you weren't happy with them. But like I said ... perhaps a hint next time will trigger something that can help.

Note: This message started with the *bleeps*. There never was any sort of answer here.

Note #2: Those darn Neoboards. They need to come up with a new LC every 2nd day.

[Jasujo]

I thought the hints were just fine. After I stopped and thought about them all together, I was able to figure out the answer. A couple were vague, but I'd rather have vague clues that get you thinking than explicit clues that point to the answer.

Also, I liked the clue about whipped cream on top. That one helped me a lot.

[weirdguy]

what if we all just started to spam the neoboards with wrong answers? wouldn't that pretty much mess with the people who dont want to do it the honest way?

[yukitora.EXE]

Hmmm... I think i got some of the digits wrong, they gave the numbers is blocks of 5,

e.g.

12345 45678
12345 45648

and was unsure about the order they broke them up in Lol, just have to wait until the next comp to see if i won.

[julie.anne]

Thanks for the hints guys. After figuring it out, I realized I made things *way* harder than I should've. It's my first LC to solve (I've never tried before). It was fun! Thanks again!

[Fizzy]

Yay! I finally got the trophy and av! Thanks to everbody who gave the clues

[reesecal]
