    Mystery Operation III We've barely started exploring our solar system when a message is received from outer space. It looks like an encoded operation is embedded in the message. And it also looks as it is a test of some sort. 4 *&* 8 = 6 20 *&* 5 = 12 8 *&* 31 = 34 ------------- 44 *&* 47 = ? Maybe we ought to respond to it? What do you think? P.S. General rules are the same as in and

    Thanks We're still outnumbered so far, but there are 6 spots still open ...

    Gregor: Gregor thinks you need 4 R's for that and left only has 3R: cherubimsaidsirnofury.

    Gregor: Gregor thinks right is probably: "This Reads: Right To Up. Go At Once." (instead of "God retorts: A pathogenic hit us."). Gregor found other possibilities "Cheat Note: Right Stairs Do Go Up" or "Right Path Goes Out to Darn Ices". Given the alternatives, Gregor says we should go right if we don't decipher the left message and if Scout does not have a better idea. *Gregor going to rest now. Don't wake Gregor up unless you know what the left message reads.*

    Gregor: Gregor wants to rest too. But Gregor thinks we should discover what the messages are first. Gregor thinks maybe we are to choose a staircase based on this messages. If that is the case, Gregor thinks it is foolish not to think at the messages: UP: WELCOME BACK LEFT: Cherubim said: sir, no fury. RIGHT: God retorts: A pathogenic hit us.

    Adding another example to the challenge: 4 */* 2 = 5 12 */* 17 = 28 30 */* 10 = 36 100 */* 93 = 186 42 */* 35 = 72 100 */* 21 = 116 12 */* 11 = 22 19 */* 29 = 48 41 */* 31 = 72 11 */* 18 = 28 238 */* 222 = 444 11 */* 21 = 30 9 */* 13 = 20 ------------------ 48 */* 73 = ?

    Gregor: Gregor warmer a bit now. Gregor thinks "Furs Irony". Or "Furry Is On". Or "Fury Is Nor". Or "Fry In Ours". Gregor too weak to think about second phrase.

    Gregor: Gregor knew he was too lucky to get out of the revolution. Colder than this the escape was but Gregor luckier. Need to rest. Need to eat. Need to survive. Think later.

    Gregor: Gregor thinks BLUE = GREEN as Scout suggested. Taking x to be the area of the circle and y the area of an overlap Gregor says: RED: x- y + x-2y + x-2y + x-2y = 4x-7y YELLOW: x-2y + x-2y + x- y + x = 4x-5y BLUE: x- y + x-3y + x-2y + x = 4x-6y GREEN: x-3y + x- y + x- y + x-y = 4x-6y

    Gregor: Calcutta and Savage do not eat from Gregor's cooking. So rations are safe. From them. @Scout: When do we move? Gregor needs to know to pack cooking tools. Also Gregor wants to know if we stop before dawn and make camp, so Gregor can figure how to eat on the way there.

    You are right, the solution was not explained and the challenge is still open. I'll continue to post examples - adding one now. Also, if you want to test your theory you can tell me a pair "(a,b)" and I will tell you "a */* b" 4 */* 2 = 5 12 */* 17 = 28 30 */* 10 = 36 100 */* 93 = 186 42 */* 35 = 72 100 */* 21 = 116 12 */* 11 = 22 19 */* 29 = 48 41 */* 31 = 72 11 */* 18 = 28 238 */* 222 = 444 11 */* 21 = 30 ------------------ 48 */* 73 = ?

    I guess my theory (that there are trekkies hidden on BD) just went down the drain. I know only of Maquis, maybe I'll convince her to play. But probably the game will not start this year. And Molly should get back then ... hmm, that still leaves some empty places. And by the way, thank you for advertising for mafias in your sig(s) . Appreciate it

    No problem maurice. From my side, you can score yourself just before AMONG. I thought ALONG at first and said AMONG because of the "L" problem. _ _ _ _ _

    Gregor: As my father said to me always, "Gregor, man should not think on an empty stomach. It makes thinking hard. Eat first, then rest. And if you still want to think, then think. Or eat again". So Gregor makes food for eating first. Not good to try to think right now. Food is plenty and Gregor can manage even if it was little. But also Gregor thinks Master needs to find rest first. *quickly makes a cross sign and spits inside his shirt* There is no talk for this, there is just work. For you. Gregor makes food for you so you eat when it is finished. But must be done first. No man should leave a poor soul to not have a grave. Brother Mandrake, I do not understand all that you say. And you do not act like any orthodox priest I know. But you must do what must be done since you are closer than any of us. If Gregor can help, Gregor will. Just say to Gregor what needs to be done. Gregor sang as a boy in the local church. And helped with things around the church. Gregor goes to make food now. Too many thinking on an empty stomach makes Gregor unhappy. God rest him. *another a cross sign*
