0 Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 It seems to me that it's all a question of base. The first one is true if the result is converted in base-2 (binary): 1/3 * 6 = 2 -> which give 10 in binary. I haven't really thought about the others, but I feel it's along the same lines.

0 pdqkemp Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) 1. A third of six is the "X" in "S-I-X". "X" is 10 in Roman numerals. 2. Nothing yet... 3. Nothing yet... 4. If you cut the figure "8" in half horizontally, it's a "0". Multiply that by anything to get zero. 3. Take the letters is "S-i-x-t-y" and subract those letters from the word "S-e-v-e-n-t-y-s-i-x" and you're left with "S-e-v-e-n". Seven is an odd number. I tried to use similar logic for #2, but 40 is spelled "Forty", so I can't combine "Forty" with "six" to make "Sixty-four". Doesn't work.

0 Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ok, just read pdqkemp's responses and realized I approached the problem the wrong way.... It's not a math problem (I'm a bit disappointed here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 pdqkemp Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 6 = VI 40 = XL 64= LXIV Of course! Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 6 = VI 40 = XL 64= LXIV use the same approach for this one as used by pdqkemp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 1.one third part of SIX is X which is ten in roman numeral. 2.'U' can bring together 'SIX' and 'FORTY' to form the word SIXTY FOUR. 3.if you subtract SIXTY from sevenTYSIX you get seven which is odd. 4.if you cut the figure 8 in half you get zero .the product of any no and zero is zero.

0 Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I figured something extra out. 76=76.0, and if you take the 6 and 0 away from 76.0, you get 7. Not the intended answer, but it works. Weird, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Fourty is four times ten, remove the "times ten" from fourty and place it after the six... You will then have six times ten equaling sixty and four and WA LAHH SIXTY FOUR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
