If you ever have problems with your order, we'll do everything we can to make it right.
As a small company (8 of us total), we aim to treat you like family. We know we’re in business because of you.
It's WAY too early for math!
Scoutmom, don't you always say you HATE math? Is there ever a good time for math for you? LOL
I have an idea of where to go with this puzzle, but just can't seem to move forward with it. Can someone give me a little nudge?
I eventually came up with the answer. But I think the first item should be "third multiple of 7 squared" and the third item should be "9 cubed - 31".
[4] I agree the math is flawed.
Nudge sent [3]!
[4][5] Thank you! That's where I was headed, but the math didn't work! Yay!
I can usually barely answer these puzzles when the clues are *correct*! How in the world could you have solved this with erroneous clues??
By the way, this puzzle has GA (or a form of it) to boot!
[7] By guessing!
[4] I concur...the clues make more sense as you have posted.
Math = I will never solve it...
:(
[8] The order is given (if you have the correct values, as given in the solution, as opposed to the image), to it isn't a GA, in my opinion.
To help those who are more word-y than math-y: the second item is a binomial coefficient. (I had never seen it written that way before {or have forgotten; my mind doesn't retain numbers as well as words}, so I skipped that one and was able to solve from the rest.)
PS- THANK YOU [4]!!!
very nice concept of a puzzle, badly executed
nothing to see here.
[12] But there is nothing in the puzzle that tells you that the order given is not the correct order, nor is there anything in the puzzle to indicate what the ordering should be based on. You must either order before decoding ("gratuitous ordering") or order after decoding ("gratuitous anagramming").
[13] I believe the second item can also be interpreted as the combination (as opposed to permutation) of 11 things taken 8 at a time.
[4] I just corrected the image.
Sorry, everyone... this is one I moderated. I missed the error on the 3rd item and introduced the error on the 1st item when I "cleaned up" the original image. *sigh*
Kudos to Murdoch for taking responsibility for his error. (And for fixing it before I got to it...)
Finding an ordering is a far more legitimate step in a puzzle than anagramming. Admittedly, with five data points, an ordering mechanism is harder to spot.
There seemed to be an ordering to me. Basically, lowest to highest. This is the natural ordering after you have figured out step 2. When I got to step 2 and went on, I found I was forced into an ordering!
lovin google here!
