  1. Here is a fascinating discussion on this topic http://brainden.com/forum/index.php/topic/4854-tower-of-power/?hl=tower+of+power
  2. I wasn't questioning that it's possible for G to be greater than A. It's certainly possible, but you can't conclude that from A+B>F+G. A can be greater than or equal to G.
  3. It was a fun puzzle to solve. Thanks, BMAD and Happy New Year!!!
  4. Making the same assumptions that DejMar made...
  5. The way I interpret the OP and your later clarification, they do.
  6. @DejMar, Looks like you calculated the distance along the circle's curve, while I calculated the distance along the straight line. The OP doesn't explicitly ask for one or the other, but I think unless explicitly stated otherwise, the distance between two points is the shortest distance.
  7. Not sure why the last equality in the OP is approximate.
  8. Can you clarify "consecutive numbers"? Does the puzzle require that all neighboring circles of a given circle had a number either 1 smaller or 1 greater than the number in the given circle? Or does it simply mean that the entire set of numbers used to fill in the puzzle must be a consecutive set?
  9. I found a counterexample for my previous conclusion. This puzzle is even tougher than I thought.
  10. Nice puzzle! I don't have a solid proof yet, but I came to an interesting conclusion.
  11. Thanks, this is interesting I'm going to agree with plasmid here. While I'm not discounting plasmid's analysis (since I do not know the answer to this one), one point what you said above seems wrong to me:
  12. Yeah, as always, my intuition was wrong. After reading your first post, I realized that the solution is not that simple and H, r, etc are not red herrings as I thought they were.
  13. Thanks, this is interesting I'm going to agree with plasmid here.
