    Well, JB, if this is the best you found, I feel better about it

    puzzle xx graded ooo

    Masterword

    Thanks for the puzzle! Sure, I've got a 6 letter word.

    Mine's not much better
  5. I think crazypainter is volunteering to start one! Do you like FILLINGS?
  6. CaptainEd

    Well, preflop, your analysis sounds like you think that all four types of inhabitants have to be present. I don't see that requirement in the OP. (((Oops, everything I was going to say, JB already said--good job, jb_riddler!)))
  7. CaptainEd

    Yes, indeed, miscounted my divisors. What a relief! Thanks for restoring rationality. I really didn't like the possibility that #6 could be false. Thank you JB, Thank you!

    OK, maybe my interpreation of #6 is not what OP intended. With a different interpretation, I can confirm Gmaster479's answer.
  9. CaptainEd

    Yeah, I'm having a problem with that number, because it appears to lead to a contradiction as well:
  10. CaptainEd

    The flaw that I see is that both your solutions involve #6 being F. If #6 is False, then it is definitely not the last true statement, which makes it true. So #6 has to be true, and I think that might change your key number.

    I can't verify GMaster's number, as I find a total contradiction. I presume I've made a blunder, but I can't see it. Hats off to your intricate puzzle! Every line seems to deal with an additional attribute of the numbers. Well done!
  12. Leibniz was the last person to know everything. What I don't know, I google. Feel free to use your own devices... (I guess to quote exactly, "Leibniz was the last man who knew everything." The last woman who knew everything hasn't yet answered this riddle)
  13. im not sure what im supposed to think but Ugg, not superhero Dan, my answers are much more compact--I do appreciate that you gave explanations and not just answer attempts. Yes, I can see that I should have stated that all the answers relate to cats (as opposed to a wider range, like catalogs, catastrophes, caterpillars, etc.). So.... All the answers relate to cats (felines).
  14. No, (what a lovely image from an ugly house!). Actually, all the answers are related to cats.
  15. All related to CATs. Some may make you yawn and stretch, like Mickey, who slept through my last one, but maybe you'll pounce on them. 1) The cartridge supports the French flag, like a carapace 2) Stab by night, curl up by day 3) He who grew shallow crystals has a deep spot 4) Rise fluffy from a nap

    I agree with the math exactly, starting with floor number 1 being above the ground floor. The reason the origin matters is, the problem very clearly identifies when "floor number" is some fraction of some other "floor number". You could not replace the identities with letters. If you disagree, then if the ground floor IS number 1, then please explain on what floor number they meet for the first time, and their relative rates of speed.
