1. Is the sum of the individual digits of the number, a prime number?
2. If this sum is a prime number, are the sum of the digits of that sum, also a prime number?
2. If this sum is a prime number, are the sum of the digits of that sum, also a prime number?

Do these numbers have any special significance to any sect/group?

Yay me!
Yes. Everyone gets one guess each from here on out.
Does this mean I win?
I wasn't trying to "cheat" ... I thought the point was to figure out the number.Blk Mage wrote:Wow are those actually the numbers, i could probably never figure it out from just that(probably lots of stuff was given away, just didn't understand most of it).
No wonder XenaAndGabrielle is pro at stuff like LC and stuff, lol. Good job.
Thanks.
Logic puzzles are fun.
Sorry I ruined everyone's fun.

They're significant to me, but not to anyone else.

Since everyone is too afraid to ask, is the number divisible by any of the Lost numbers (5 8 15 16 23 42)?

Actually the numbers are 4 8 15 16 23 42, but no.
The number has not been guessed yet. (though it MAY have been mentioned)

Is the number 9365?
(it was the only one of the three numbers that I had on my list that was previously mentioned so it's the obvious guess)
If it isn't the about number I ask the following 2 questions to help others
Do the middle two numbers add up to a prime number?
Do any pair of numbers add up to another number included in it?

1.The number is an integer
2.The number is not prime
3.The number is not even
4.The number is not under 5000
5.The number is divisible by another four-digit number
6.The number is between 7500-10000

So far:
Xena got it down to six numbers whereas I got it down to 5 numbers (9705 is divisible by three)
My numbers were:
9305
9365
9385
9745
9785
then these questions were asked and answered:

9.
Within its prime factors; are any numbers repeated?
(e.g. 5619 = 1873 x 3. 3 is repeated. 3891 = 3 x 1297. No numbers are repeated?) no
Does the number contain a 7? maybe

I actually read this question to mean this. For instance, 75 = 3 * 5 * 5 ... the 5 was repeated. So I didn't cross off any of the numbers.

With my reading of question #9, this made 9785 still a viable option. Which is why I guess it as a "single guess" several posts back.

This was the other option. I thought it would be right as well. When it was wrong, I was sure my 9785 guess was right.

You are correct! Good job, everyone, and especially X&G.
