<p>I was bored and decided to make a puzzle (inspiration from Mystery Hunt)</p>
<p>Solve the following riddle:</p>
<p>22
33
42
54
75</p>
<p>e-Power <strong>.</strong> __ __ __ = ??????????</p>
<p>Hint:</p>
<p>Yep
13 47 29
45 93 67
36 55 43
84 66 95
59 14 56</p>
<p>Nope
23 95 76
42 56 23
73 24 15
28 33 45
39 53 22</p>
<p>oh come on, i had nothing to do, i was snowed in</p>
<p>whoever solves it gets a special prize...</p>
<p>What am I solving</p>
<p>This is the key:
22
33
42
54
75</p>
<p>Solve for the question marks
e ^ (__ . __ __ __ __)= ??????????</p>
<p>put in one of the two digit numbers for each space</p>
<p>they go in a special order:</p>
<p>These numbers are in a correct order
13 47 29
45 93 67
36 55 43
84 66 95
59 14 56</p>
<p>these aren't
45 93 56
13 47 43
84 66 95
36 14 29
59 55 67</p>
<p>sorry, i should've used the same numbers
the answer has something to do with MIT admissions</p>
<p>The answer is 7621616551. Is that correct.</p>
<p>srry, that's not correct</p>
<p>another hint: the pattern only depends on the first digit of each two digit number</p>
<p>another thing,
I just realized that because I used my TI-83, there's a rounding error. Subtract 27 from the answer that you get and that'll be the right number</p>
<p>and...another thing,</p>
<p>if you want to check your answer, type it into google and see what you find
you'll know when you've got the right answer</p>
<p>youre a homosexual</p>
<p>Very mysteryhunt-esque. Unfortunately I'm suffering from a state of permahomework and won't be able to further the solution to this puzzle.</p>
<p>I would, however, like to take this opportunity to call Gandhiji a sociopath and recommend a swift kick in the face.</p>
<p>So, how big is the answer. Is it in the thousands, hundreds, or what? Is there a decimal in the answer. And, i don't understand the correct order and incorrect order thing. Please explain the entire problem for us. I don't think anyone knows what you are talking about.</p>
<p>ok</p>
<p>Key:
22
33
42
54
75</p>
<p>the 5 numbers above are just in order from least to gretest</p>
<p>you need to put them in the correct order and then fill in the blanks (5 numbers for 5 blanks)
e ^ (__ . __ __ __ __)= ??????????</p>
<p>The order only depends on the first digit...so....</p>
<p>Correct order:
13......1
45......4
36......3
84......8
59......5
same thing with the other two columns</p>
<p>there's a special way the 1st digits (above) are ordered
once you get the pattern, just order the Key and get the answer</p>
<p>there are 10 question marks because it's a 10 digit number</p>
<p>(also, because of the error in rounding, subtract 27 from the 10 digit number to get the answer I was thinking of)</p>
<p>type it into google and you'll know when you've got the right number</p>
<p>Eeeerm....call me stupid, but i still dont get it :(</p>
<p>does it mean that the first digits must be in the increasing order?
and then you want us to find a number (a.bcde, for example), that being a power of e, would yield us a ten digit number (possibly an integer?) ?</p>
<p>speaking of puzzles, I found this</a> one quite interesting.</p>
<p>i'm still confused. What is the answer you are getting. You get two answer when you put them in the blanks. Which one is the correct answer. And why is it off by 27.</p>
<p>ok, i guess i really suck at explaining things :(</p>
<p>These numbers are in a correct order
13 47 29
45 93 67
36 55 43
84 66 95
59 14 56</p>
<p>the first digits of those numbers are:
1....4....2
4....9....6
3....5....4
8....6....9
5....1....5</p>
<p>so, there are 3 columns of numbers above
each column is ordered in a special way...</p>
<p>I think this will make it a little easier,</p>
<p>the ordering pattern for the numbers above, is related to this pattern:
1....2....2....2....1....5....4....3
4....5....6....7....7....7....7....9
3....3....4....5....6....2....3....6</p>
<p>1
11
21
1211
111221
........?</p>
<p>:D irrelevant, but cute.</p>
<p>312211 :)</p>
<p>yeah my friend already showed me that trick</p>
<p>hehe, it's fun to say</p>
<p>ok forget it, i guess it's too hard (or too stupid of a puzzle)</p>
<p>1....4....2
4....9....6
3....5....4
8....6....9
5....1....5</p>
<p>the pattern is that the 2nd and 4th numbers are the sum of the numbers above and below:</p>
<p>1
4
3
8
5</p>
<p>1+3=4 and 3+5=8</p>
<p>so...using this pattern, order the Key:</p>
<p>22
33
42
54
75</p>
<p>you can order the key 2 ways but only 1 will give you a 10 digit number once you plug into
e ^ (__ . __ __ __ __)= ??????????</p>
<p>subtract 27....and google the number</p>
<ol>
<li>That is the answer.</li>
</ol>
