bump... #2 & 5 still yet to be solved (although I thought maybe the Professor was onto something...)
-
You are correct - #2 should be Forewarn Dots - I need to use spellcheck
-
Correct - just 2 more left!

Yes, yes, & yes

Good job!

Here are some anagrams of lines (not necessarily titles) from some popular holiday songs. See if you can figure out the lines: 1. Enjoyable Thesis Lottos 2. Forwarn Dots 3. Ate Whaling Jelly 4. Anger Mania Way 5. Terrible Gong Honky Town 6. Shingle Thinly Tonight 7. Forbid Guiding Sprung Guy 8. Reappeared At Retiring

I agree this has been done before, but this is the answer I like best (it feels less like cheating )

I know that's a pretty useful advantage for ANSI size papers. You can fold an ANSI D (22"x34") in half twice to get an ANSI B (11"x17"), and the B folded in half is an A (8.5"x11"). Very useful for reports in the architecture/engineering business where the text is on A size, but large tables may be B size, small drawings could be C size (17" x 22"), and "full size" drawings are often D size. I presume the same philosophy is employed for the A series of papers, which is a metric equivalent of the ANSI series.

Is it still an Archimedean spiral if the center of the spiral moves with the angle as well? The graphic shown on the linking page you sent shows a definite central point - for this problem, that center does not stay still, but keeps moving around the silo. I've been able to define the spiral parametrically, but don't know of a single function which could describe it. -
Then it could be a

If tricycle weren't misspelled, would it have the same answer?

translated the binary to decimal & got the same answers as Skywalker. Then I ran a char(X) function to get the ascii characters. I saw they were all lowercase letters, closing parentheses and one close brace. I figured the close parentheses were spaces, the close brace was a period or question mark, and treated everything else as a regular cryptogram. I just went wrong on the cryptogram portion - figured you were completing a sentence, I guessed "if" and "the" is one of the more common three letter words in English. The cryptogram method would actually have worked, except I wouldn't have gotten "colors", just "color" - I just never figured on "dog"

crypto try and failure maybe a starting point for someone else?

I want to see what you'll use for X
