I thought it looked like Monterey CA's Lone Cypress tree. [url:f3fc2]http://www.beachcalifornia.com/lone-cypress-tree.html Maybe not. One Tree Hill fits also.

Sure. I'm still clueless and feeling badly because of it.

Found this while rummaging around for new stuff. Haven't seen it before, and don't have a clue. 1 - Fresh fish and lamb from Korea 2 - Korean literature from the same church leader 3 - A wild bonfire 4 - Freddy the Queen 5 - The other missile in the cuban crisis 6 - It started with a riff, the one from Pinball Wizard 7 - Large addition to Stewart Copeland's drumkit What are these seven things and why? what do they represent in the order persented?

1 26 L of the A 2 7 D of the W 3 7 W of the W 4 12 S of the Z 5 66 B of the B 6 52 C in a P (W J) 7 13 S in the U S F 8 18 H on a G C 9 39 B of the O T 10 5 T on a F 11 90 D in a R A 12 3 B M (S H T R) 13 32 is the T in D F at which W F 14 15 P in a R T 15 3 W on a T 16 100 C in a D 17 11 P in a F (S) T 18 12 M in a Y 19 13 is U F S 20 8 T on an O 21 29 D in F in a L Y 22 27 B in the N T 23 365 D in a Y 24 13 L in a B D 25 52 W in a Y 26 9 L of a C 27 60 M in an H 28 23 P of C in the H B 29 64 S on a C B 30 9 P in S A 31 6 B to an O in C 32 1000 Y in a M 33 15 M on a D M C

Oops, 66 repeats 21. I'll contribute one to keep the count right, 71. The Cranberries [lower right] [url:a670f]http://www.cranberries.com/

Numbering glitch's offerings, to keep the count. I think this is right so far. 61. Nine Inch Nails [beneath m&m's] 62. The Postal Service [which was mentioned before but not numbered] check it out: [url:6a951]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postal_Service

I would take issue with the defenses put forth so far. In fairness, tho, I have changed my mind as to which answer I would defend. Today, these clues; tomorrow, my picks. [1] Existential import. [2] Boolean logic - as opposed to Aristotelian logic.

Quite a tall order Steven, Short of stacking the numbers in a 3-dimensional array and having a way of highlighting the numbers in sequence and looking for patterns, I don't have a suggestion. Not interested in the reward ... finding answers is more fun. Good luck.

How about ... 21. Doors 22. Cars 23. Led Zep 24. Kiss [the um, interesting couple under the traffic light] 25. Madonna [pic in store window - left?] 26. Red hot chili peppers 27. Twisted sister - the contortionists in the middle. 28. Eagles?

Hmmmm.. well, ok. But I've edited the question now, hopefully asking what I had intended to ask. See if your answer changes ...

I think this answer doesn't work: when you get to the South pole, how do you run West? But this answer: does: for example, any point on the circle (1 + 1/2pi) miles from the South Pole. After going South 1 mile, you're (1/2pi) miles from the Pole, which allows you to run West 1 mile [1 lap of a 1-mile circumference circle] and be able to go a mile North to the starting point. As Martini noted, there is an infinite number of starting distances: 1 + 1/2Npi miles North of the South pole where N is any positive integer. N is then the number of circular laps in your westerly mile. e.g. N=5280 - you'd run 5280 laps around a 1-foot circumference circle. Here's a counter question - why can't N be negative? i.e. start closer than a mile - you could still do N laps

Choose the best answer and say why. Which of the even prime numbers [excluding 2] are [evenly] divisible by 5? [1] all [2] some [3] none [4] the question has no defensible answer. p.s. Martini: I assert this is a logical not mathematical question. Edited for "clarity". [meaning that I originally screwed up what I wanted to ask .. ] I do not choose [4].

There are digits as high as 9, so the basis would have to be 10 or greater. But you can't go from twenty-something to forty-something by adding 7 with a basis that high. I'm curious to see how this turns out.

If I understand the "parity" constraint, the idea is to keep neighbors from being nearest or next-nearest in value. Neighboring numbers must differ by 3 or more in value. I broke the problem down this way.

that's why i put the smiley there ... a little humor.

yeh mon, lay it on us... [it's not octal at least ... but what?]

How about ... Here's how:

Anti-spoiler: you mean: the grid is symmetric about its [upper left - lower right] diagonal? If so, no need to peek at the spoiler above...

brooms with corners? strange looking broom; but if you say ... btw there's a typo in 'broom' .. [extra space]

maybe ? 2 for each girl [4x7=14], 4 for each big cat [4x7x7x7=1372] and 4 for each small cat [4x7x7x7x7=9604] 10990 in all

It was quiet at Morty's last night ... Until Matt the Mathematician proposed a game. Alex and Davey would both put their billfolds on the table, and Matt would count the money in each. Whoever had more would forfeit his money to the other player. "Think it over," Matt said, and he ordered another frosty one. Alex thought to himself, "There's no reason to believe I have more money than Davey has, or less, for that matter; so my chances of winning are 50%. Now if I lose, I'll lose whatever's in my wallet. But if I win, it'll be because Davey has more money than I. So on a tossup bet, my winnings are more than my losses." "I'm in," he finally announced. And Davey thought the same. He figured his chances of winning were as good as Alex's, and he'd either lose the amount in his wallet or win an amount greater than that. "You're on," said Davey with a smile. If the boys were thinking clearly, how could the game favor both of them? Or if not, where is the flaw in their reasoning?

proving that ... [1] the smallest number not specifiable in fewer than 23 syllables can be specified in 22 syllables. [2] there are only a finite number of numbers.

One-mill-ion one-hund-red sev-en-ty sev-en thou-sand sev-en hund-red sev-en-ty sev-en = I count 22. But I realize I am wrong with 7,777,771. It should be 1,777,777. One-mill-ion sev-en hund-red sev-en-ty sev-en thou-sand sev-en hund-red sev-en-ty sev-en = 23. Bravo, Writersblock. 1,777,777 is the smallest number not specifiable using fewer than twenty-three syllables. At least, no one has come up with a smaller number. So let's say it is. You get the prize. O wait. This is supposed to be a paradox. ummm, just for the heck of it, count the syllables in red, above. If the red words specified your answer, then ....
