The F/C temperature pairs that are integers make C multiples of 5. Restricting F values not to have a leftmost digit of 0, we have C=5+10N and F=41+18N. Since C ends in 5, F must begin with 5. For each power of 10, there is one possibility for a rotated match. These are the ones I've found - either an exact match, or the closest to it. 59 -> 15 527 -> 275 <- match 5297 -> 2925 52943 -> 29395 529403 -> 294095 5294111 -> 2941155 <- near miss 52941173 -> 29411745 <- near miss 529411757 -> 294117625 5294117651 -> 2941176455[/code]

PolishNorbi has done it again, winning the coveted rotated trophy award. Good job.

Yes. And you answer "I don't know my number." Next step: What does that tell the next logician. What numbers might he see. What does that permit him to conclude. Can you take this to the place where one logician eventually knows his number?
-
You can assume three numbers and ask what each logician in turn thinks and knows. Then you can substitute variables [a, b, c] and do the same. To get started, try this single question. You're the first to be questioned. You see 5 and 13. What do you know about your number?

Great job Kid, , but looking for rotated integers for C. Hint: every 9th F gets you integer C.. -425 -> -253.88... 40 -> 04.44... [clever with the 0...] 61 -> 16.11... 82 -> 27.77...[/code]

"Check out the big chains on Angie..." [that's a rhyme of a line from Pulp Fiction.... but you knew that?] You got it!

Yup. Niner has it. I was going to put 1=2 [to follow up on the "magic" idea] in the subtitle, but then I firured that much of a clue wasn't needed.

It's more fundamental than that. Nice observation tho.
-
Spoilers anyone? Call the logicians Fred, George, Harry, and assume they are questioned in that order. Assume the integers are a>b>=c. [a=b>c is not possible.]
-
Good one. The title definitely is a clue.
-
Nikyma, you have the solution, but check the spelling of the last word. There is a numerical progression ... Edit - you have it now.
-
Nikyma has it.
-
Another great observation. But that's a red herring, too.

What six-letter word has five personal pronouns in order?
-
Nothing in common with fruit of any kind. Or colors, for that matter. It's not the vowels, either, although that's great observation.

It's the former. Titin, also known as connectin, is a protein that is important in the contraction of striated muscle tissues. As the largest known protein, titin also has the longest IUPAC name. The full chemical name, containing 189,819 letters, is sometimes stated to be the longest word in the English language. However, some professional dictionary writers regard generic names of chemical compounds as verbal formulae rather than as English words

Looks like spoilers are needed. Edit: add this

Think harder ... one of them can. How?

In a recent survey of musical preferences among BrainDen'ers, it was determined that 280 like jazz; 254 like classical; 280 like country/western. 97 like both jazz and classical; 138 like both classical and country/western; 152 like both country/western and jazz. Only 73 like jazz and classical and country/western. How many BrainDen'ers were interviewed?
