0 Thalia Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm Trying. Maybe next two are 7 and 9? Nice to know someone is trying. In the future, spoilers would be nice. 7 is correct but 9 is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Thalia Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 X is the lenght of the english name of P-1, when P is a prime number. Exactly! I'm glad you explained it because mine probably would have been longer and not quite so clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Okay, I was reading this, and I'm still not getting it???? What do X and P-1 have to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Thalia Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Okay, I was reading this, and I'm still not getting it???? What do X and P-1 have to do with it? The first 4 prime numbers (P) are 2, 3, 5, and 7. Subtract 1 from each: 1, 2, 4, 6 Write them out One= 3 letters Two= 3 letters Four= 4 letters Six= 3 letters X= the number of lettersDoes this make sense?
