0 grey cells Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Zero . Since you said it was a countdown , zero is logical , but I don't think this is the answer . Does this have to do something with Euro cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I thought zero too, but the title says finite. So, I'll try 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) if it's not mathmatical then i think it's safe to assume there are only integers used. and as it's a coutdown "what is it that im talking about" then the answer would be 0 as I can't think of any countdowns that go from positive to minus or that don't finish on 0 the fact that it's finite also means it has to end and no dots may mean it ends there, and i can't think of a better place to end it.

I think he means to look at the title "Countdown, finite". but as i didn't write it i can't say for sure.

And is the 2 one: chicken? Not really sure on what you want, the only obvious ones were 1000 and 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure on what you want, the only obvious ones were 1000 and 100. are gastropoda (one leg) and many other species with no legs, such as worm, jellyfish etc - delicious!

0 Guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well, that was a deceiving title. If the answer is 0, it can't be finite. Good puzzle though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 How is that not finite? It ended. Finite usually means having a positive or negative value, not zero. Maybe I'm wrong, it's happened before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
