Queztion


The group of numbers 2, 9, 7, 9, and 12 represents the number 7. The group of numbers 3, 5, and 0 represents the number 2. How would you write the number 10?

Extra credit:

Of all the single digit numbers (zero thru nine), not counting two and seven (cuz you're told their number sequences),

1. what is the only one that you can write down the number sequence for, given the information you learn from DeeDee's Queztion?

2. what is the sequence?

Ize kno da anzer tah da extrah credit, butz Ize wiyill let zumwun elze be a math stah too!

PS: What iz the cowntup for?

Not really sure. I just wondered how tricky it would be to change the code to count up from Jan 20 to the present instead of counting down from the present to Jan 20 (when Jan 20 was a future date).

All it's doing is saying how many days Barack Obama has been in office. I don't know if we should keep the counter or not. If we keep it, I wonder what the world will look like when it reads 100.

Any thoughts from anybody what we might do with the counter? Chuck it? Change it somehow? Keep it the way it is?

This is a Mensa question. Maybe TcT should be in Mensa, 'cause he obviously got it.

I vote to keep on counting to 100, and then decide if anyone wants to keep track anymore.

This riddle seems to be withering on the vine.

Here's a hint but I'm not sure it will get you over the hump.

Why are there all those weird numbers under our mascot?

BuBe said...

I don't know what all the weird numbers are under Tobee, and I write the number ten as l0. I am sure not to get a stah for this one.

Tobee 'n DeeDee said...

Here is another hint: the number two is spelled with 3 letters. How about seven? Tobee?

BuBe said...

3,9,12

Thanks for all the hints - a mensa I am not!

BuBe said...

tobee = 3,0,4,9,9 = weird numbers

I still can't figure out the "code" for all letters and numbers, but that's okay for now.

Good job BuBe! You deserve another stah. One will be forthcoming. There is no code, those are just random numbers made up for the queztion.
