yes indeed, Time Out's answered this three by three and is now three for three. well done. fabpig does get credit for the third third.

hey hey you two - neither am afraid. and @ Mo Ma, the edit bit does seem good but also not it.

and not really in the now somewhat more familiar Y-san style, but had thought for -

A noteworthy response, or mere slip of the brain Now wait just a second then there it goes again Perhaps you nailed it, with a change in direction Diplomatically speaking, just a loose connection Take all the credit, when credit is due Exclaim in surprise, not a point to construe FWIW - some links for an idea as to my style re these single couplet riddles: http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9818-forsaken/page__view__findpost__p__192736, http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9745-same-sounding/page__view__findpost__p__190876, http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?/topic/9526-sword-play/page__view__findpost__p__185662, http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10888-same-old-same-old/page__view__findpost__p__214872.

i think you're not supposed to look at the spoiler. may be best not to include the operands until after set amount of posts? or the current host pm's contestants after their entries? or not...

these are quite the challange! only a couple of (uncertain) guesses - so far...

registered there yesterday and sent a friend request. wouldn't let me pm until establishing myself with "some posts" and am not that adventurous. similar issue at one other site. let's hope.

yes indeed, superprismatic. when i first composed this puzzle, did not know that it had been thoroughly investigated. and often with the same postage stamp theme. from what i can tell, a universal solution yet evades number theorists. dont have any programming skills to speak of myself so was limited to a spreadsheet. the highest i got was 115.

ahh, you can do better. no fibon.

hey hey Phil - think that combo first falls short at $.43

one down, four more denominations to go...

The annual debt of the United States Postal Service is projected to be $18 billion by the year 2015. To help stem this ever growing deficit, the USPS would like to increase the price it charges for a first class mailed letter from forty two to sixty three cents. A 50% increase amounting to all of $.21 to have a letter hand delivered, door to door, anywhere in the U.S. is terribly unpopular with the general public. Perhaps equally rational to these objections is the Post Office's most recent proposal to make the increase more acceptable. The concept is to charge a random amount in increments of whole cents between $.01 - $1.26 (inclusive). To save on printing costs it is expected that only five denominations of stamps would be offered and a maximum of five stamps per letter would be allowed. Can you suggest the five stamp amounts?
