Indeed - the clamp is analogous to the conveyor belt in this respect. If you could do a drawing, it would be appreciated. And, yes, you've grasped my argument perfectly; thrust is not what makes the aircraft take off; it's lift.

So to my knowledge a single extra line won't do it. My bad. O___O; Ah, never mind, I probably wouldn't have got it anyway And you're not the only one to make a mistake.. >_>

Well he said "if a team makes a match this week on its own stadium, next week the match must be on rivals stadium, the other week again on its own [stadium]" which to me, suggests that each team plays 1 game a week, and plays it alternately at home, away, at home, etc etc

I still don't get it. How can it take off with no airflow to create lift? A simpler experiment would be to obtain a model (jet) plane and fix it to an adjustable clamp. Power it on, warm up the jets, then adjust the arialons. Now assuming the clamp can rotate on the X axis, if the nose of the airplane is raised, the plane can take off. However, from my point of view, the lack of airflow means the arialons will not function.

I'm a bit stuck, can someone help please? PM me or post a spoiler if you do!

He means if any team plays away one week, the next week they have to play at home. So basically, yes, you'd have to arrange that half play away on odd-numbered days, then half would play away on even. So yeah, Bonanova is correct - the even--numbered teams would never play each other, and the odd numbered teams would never play each other.

I just didn't think it could get any better! Prime, you're a genius!

This was really good - I didn't get it, but I liked it a lot.

Even though I didn't get the answer, I really liked this puzzle. 5* IMO.

It does, but I'm not sure why... I've gotten it up to 10^280+ before...

Too maths-y for me, but a good one.
-
basically, from a birds-eye view, he's got a pipe going through that square in a straight line. to prove it works, draw that pattern yourself, and then try and draw a straight line from one side to the other, without crossing the pattern he's drawn.
-
Hmm... I still can't do it. I'ma have to think on this one. Welcome to the forum btw - and great puzzles - did you make them up?
-
*edit* oh, I get it. I wasn't thinking, but I've checked the answer now.
-
I don't get this one at all - are the _'s meant as in division?

What an awesome first puzzle

It seems google has updated its calculator, and I have no idea how high it goes now (and I've tested it, believe me). Here's the competition: Using measurements, type them into google to get either the smallest or the largest number you can. (ie 1 meter x 1 meter) You can only use 2 measurements in your equation. You can use a maximum of 3 digit numbers. One go each (I can't force you, but to be fair, use your first guess) Use spoilers. First one to break the calculator wins, and if no-one breaks it, the highest/lowest number wins! Oh, btw, I got this idea after reading Prof. Templetons thread, so credit to him *edit* Just messing about some more, and certain units are not recognised, and sometimes google cheats by saying 1 [unit] x 1 [unit] = 2 [unit] rather than express the units value. Have another go in this case, as I won't accept the answer unless expressed in digits.

As soon as you said underground and then chemistry I got it. Pretty good, shame I got here late (although I would have put "NINE"!)

Ok, here's one in awk:
