0 araver Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 "Help" usually means this is not a puzzle, but rather a question you do not know the answer to. Please post your question in the Homework forum where people may help you by providing hints on how to approach the problem. Thank you!

I would love to give him the answer and why! We've had a streak of homework posted here, so I was naturally inclined to consider this one homework as well. My apologies. Maurice gave you a quick and correct response. Just a thought though: since search engines regularly index the web, including this forum, in a couple of days anyone searching for "5, 6, 14, 45, 184, 925" will be able to find this thread and know the answer, so you might wanna cash your prize ASAP (I am joking, of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 araver Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MY MATHS QUESTIONS? :mad: {I AM VERY ANGRY} I TOLD YOU SO THAT I FOUND THOSE QUESTIONS IN THE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS OLYMPIAD BOOK.I COULDN'T GET THEM SO I THOUGHT TO SOUGHT SOME HELP FROM SOME GENIUSES. Dear Akriti, I was indeed including some of your topics: in my reasoning, but I was also considering other topics that fall in the same category. I am not the only one that suggested these sound more like homework then actual Logic/Math puzzles. Also, you agreed that you found these questions in a book and were unable to do them yourself, which still means homework rather than actual puzzles (even if it is a self-imposed homework). I am not trying to start a war on this. I am just pointing out that if one seeks help for an unsolved problem, one should post it in a different sub-forum, namely Homework help. There are people on Brainden that will respond to these topics, giving pointers and hints on how to solve them. Thank you. P.S: One more thing, writing in caps is usually frowned upon since it is a form of shouting. You might consider refraining from doing that since people might easily get offended by it. Thank you.

There's no need to be sorry, I was just trying to help avoiding confusion (from me and other posters). BTW Welcome to BrainDen! (I forgot to say it before).
