New Quiz
 
Just a couple to change the heading which has been around too long.

I have to say I did not understand either of these questions but I do have the answers but how or why is a mystery.

1.What is the value of 8x78x7?

2. What is 102102?

Over to you.

1. 4368
Where the order of operations includes two identical operations then one works from left to right.
Could there be another solution?

2. Not a clue - Maybe one of the six digit (hexa) paint numbers...

1. Seemed simple enough ............... (but is there a but?) :brain:
2. No bloody idea.:confused::huh: but AI says;

In the context of angel numbers, "102102" is believed to be a message from your angels, suggesting you are on the right path and to trust your intuition, while also encouraging you to embrace new beginnings and trust in your abilities.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Angel Number 102:
This combination of numbers, 102, is seen as a sign that your angels are communicating with you, often during challenging times, and that you are being guided and supported.
102 Meaning:
Love and Partnership: It can signify the potential for new beginnings in love and the importance of trust and open communication in relationships.
Manifestation: It encourages you to focus on manifesting your goals and aspirations and to believe in your ability to shape your own reality.
Guidance and Support: It's a message that you are on the right path and that you can trust your intuition and inner guidance.
New Beginnings: The number 1 represents fresh starts, while the number 2 signifies partnership, suggesting that you are on the path to new beginnings in love and relationships.
102102:
While the specific meaning of 102102 is not explicitly defined in angel number interpretations, it can be seen as an amplified version of the message of 102. It could be a stronger affirmation that you are on the right path and that you should trust your intuition and embrace new opportunities.

So there .......................that will learn you!!!!! .:sweat:

Send it to Bletchley Park.

Hawkey01 1st April 2025 10:28

Malcolm,

Sorry no.

YM, well A1 came up trumps there but it is wrong!

ER - even GCHQ.

You will hate the answers in due course.

Neville

1) 5656 :pint:

Hawkey01 2nd April 2025 10:35

170 Driver,

Sorry incorrect.

Neville

Makko 2nd April 2025 18:23

#2 - The postcode of the ED office in Lagos, Nigeria.

Hawkey01 3rd April 2025 11:23

Makko,

No comment! I will it let it run for a few more days, then disclose the answers.

Neville

Hawkey01 5th April 2025 12:48

Here are the answers as given to me by the web site. I can get the first one but the second is still a mystery to me.

Answer 1 = 56.

Answer 2 = 100.

Neville

Malcolm G 5th April 2025 13:57

1 - yep a mystery.
2. Nearest I could find was 101 decimal = 10202 base3.
(102102 base-3 = 308 decimal.)

Malcolm G 5th April 2025 13:59

A simple one to follow…
What would you put between 6 and 7 to give an answer which is greater than 6 but less than 7?

Makko 5th April 2025 15:21

Answer: <

Malcolm G 5th April 2025 17:19

Maybe :wink:

Irvingman 5th April 2025 22:39

A decimal point?

That’s the one :bounce:

Irvingman 6th April 2025 22:19

A lucky coincidence, it featured in a recent pub quiz about two weeks ago. I didn’t solve it that time :pint:
John

Makko 8th April 2025 20:24

Well done! But my answer was equally valid - This could be the reason why I got "escorted" out of a pub after a quiz night (Q: Which country has most place names with X in? My answer: Mexico, Quizmaster: China. My argument was that Chinese don't use X! [Roman Font, not Chinese characters]).

Malcolm G 9th April 2025 22:45

81 x 9 = 801
How can that work? What needs to be done to correct the equation?

Hawkey01 10th April 2025 10:25

I am amazed. Answer as follows =
81x9 = 729.
729+81 = 810.
810-9 = 801.

Neville

Malcolm G 10th April 2025 10:47

Think outside the box, as they say.:wink:

Malcolm G 11th April 2025 18:05

No one else ?

Malcolm G 13th April 2025 13:49

Well, thank you Neville for have a go but it’s not Maths at all….

Answer:
108 = 6 x 18
That’s right, just invert the page.:thumb:

Dartskipper 14th April 2025 10:54

So why didn't Geoff from "Down Under" solve it?

YM-Mundrabilla 15th April 2025 00:39

Probably coz he didn't understand the question, let alone the answer.:confused:

Hawkey01 15th April 2025 11:43

Question - Which country has the most pyramids in the world.

Neville

Varley 15th April 2025 13:25

Are these the Mayan?

Hawkey01 16th April 2025 10:31

Varley,

Sorry not them.

Neville

Makko 16th April 2025 22:04

Then Mexico, Neville. Now many years ago, they estimated that just to make an initial survey of identified and probable sites would take 54 years! Using LIDAR, more and more sites are being confirmed.

Rgds,
Dave

Malcolm G 16th April 2025 22:49

I’ve cheated - looked it up.
Yes there are hundreds of pyramids in Mesoamerica but the question asked for Country, and it’s not Mexico.

Hawkey01 17th April 2025 09:58

Dave,

Sorry not Mexico - although that was my original thought!

Malcolm,

Glad you did not let the cat out of the bag as the saying goes.

Neville

I saw a large number of orange and white pyramids on the M6 once. When I slowed down I realised they were traffic cones.

You know that there are no actual storage depots for traffic cones. When you see lines of cones not apparently protecting anything - They are just in storage until needed.

I telephoned the Traffic Cone Hotline once, but the auto receptionist said there were no cones available to take my call as they were all out on the roads.
:angry:

Hawkey01 21st April 2025 10:41

As no more takers I will reveal the answer.

SUDAN.

Jupiter71 21st April 2025 10:47

Interesting they are known as "Nubian" Pyramids, the former Tribal class ships take note

Makko 21st April 2025 17:41

Sudan!? I am impressed.
Rgds.
Dave

Hawkey01 24th April 2025 15:12

Two more to hopefully interest you!

Which US state has the busiest airport in the world and the city name? An extra point if you know the name of the airport.

Which is the only continent where coffee grows naturally?
