0 Guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not sure of your intent, here is 1 possible interpretation:substituting a=1, b=2, c=3 etc. and adding up values of each word in "an ill person having an isoscales triangle" and applying operands I arrived at: 15+33+87-61-15-102+86=43. On the other hand, If your intent was the correct spelling in English "isosceles", then this simple answer is wrong and requires more thought.

0 wolfgang Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I mean: use these two things inorder to get the number 43 1- ill person. 2-isocsales triangle. you are allowed to use the ordinary mathmatical proceedures,such as addition,subtraction multiplication, or devision.

0 Molly Mae Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 A man got sick when he wanted to digest information...so he "ate T1" (81). Everyone was so awed by this feat, that they gave him high-fives--there were fifty of them, so the man ended up giving away fifty-fives (81-55). As a trophy, they gave the man a trophy in the shape of an isosceles triangle (+17)*. 81-55+17=43 *Note: The 17 doesn't look like an isosceles triangle, but the one he received actually was... If you have any complaints with this logic, please read the spoiler in my sig about Fab's 4 Rules. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 preflop Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'll give it a go A sick person often receives an IV..... IV = 4. An isosceles triangle has 3 sides.....3=3 put them together (IV and 3) you get 43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) A sick person often receives an IV..... IV = 4. An isosceles triangle has 3 sides.....3=3 put them together (IV and 3) you get 43 Well, this does not use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. You simply stuck the digits together. Still, more progress than I'm getting. Edited October 11, 2011 by phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 wolfgang Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Use the word(ILL),and a triangle. Edited October 11, 2011 by wolfgang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Surely it isn't some manipulationIn word ILL, drop one L and move the I over and down to cross the leg of the L in such a way to form a 4 then take the the three sides of the triangle, place vertically side by side to form the roman numeral III = 3. Take them together to form 43. I don't believe this is the solution since it does not use +,-,X or /. But we can use +,-,X or / Triangle is Delta in Greek alphabet. Delta = D. D in Roman numerals = 500 and L = 50. S0 we can get L-D/L; 50-500/50=40 then add the I (Roman numeral for 1) three times to arrive at a grand total of 43. Of course this is even less likely to be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 wolfgang Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 you can disconnect the trianlgle`s base,and use it elsewhere.. and you can also reverse the triangle upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 you can disconnect the trianlgle`s base,and use it elsewhere.. and you can also reverse the triangle upside down. Then, assuming we are not required to use all of itStart with an L from ILL then remove bottom of triangle, Flip over remaining part to form V, Put the I from ILL and the bottom of the triangle to the right of the V and put all together to get the equation: L-VII = 50-7 = 43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 wolfgang Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 As nobody was able to solve this(easy) puzzle..I am going to solve it... We need to use these things: 1-letter (I) from the word ..isoscales. 2-inverted triangle without its base(V). 3-triangle base(I). 4-the word(ILL). now we are going to rearrenge them to make this equation: L - ( IL / VII ) = 43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice the same poor format for Roman numerals however it is easy to see an alternate that does satisfy proper format so thought it wasn't significant. Just turn it like this: L-((L-I)/VII)=43. Of course, since we have in Isosceles an additional C and L, we could do it several other ways. For example: C/L-I+L-L/V+II=43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
