Is there a way to find out such tricks? :omg: this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

DONT LOOK AT PREVIOUS POST OF MINE...IT HAS ANSWER :-D I am convinced that when you posted the answer,no one had explicitly(clearly) given the answer.(Rama was just tricking us. ;P) so why you say that? this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

Ya know, a much slicker trick would be to write the answer, but use the same color for the foreground and background...

No I was no tricking. The answer was there in my post. sorry,Rama,maybe i used wrong word "tricking". obviously,i knew you first gave the answer because i received the notification e-mail by you. i said "tricking" because shog*9 said in his post that "people often do such tricks writing answer using the same background and foreground colors" :-O this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

Don't worry. i would dare to say more people are less "mathematically inclined" than you. And even some too smarter guys are still wondering why the sixth one is "217". :-O :suss: this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

I've had a small bit of my sig that way for some time. Generally, it just contains "---" in order to cleanly separate the sig from the rest of my post in email notifications, but occasionally i'll put in something else... ;)

C'mon. It wasn't hard (i did it in around 10sec though i did use a calculater). Most number problems involve pattern recognition. zhoujun wrote: even some too smarter guys are still wondering Then they aren't that smart are they? bibamus, edamus, cras moriemur

But with money being offered and a time limit in front of an audience, I'm unsure whether I would solve it in twice the time. Regardz Colin J Davies

Yeah, I failed to see it on a first attempt, came back half an hour later and spotted it straight away. Although I have scared people in the past by being about to recite powers of two (yet I can't do times tables to save my life!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
