...and I am happy to announce, that Monique seems to be well on her way now, too! That's the spirit!

...and just coming back, I see she solved it perfectly now! Congratulations Monique!

oh, round 151, solved by d_g now (finally). Very impressive! I would still like to see more people breaking their heads over it though!

While everyone finishes (or starts) on R151 and R152 ...

Don't forget round 150 either! Just a few posts above. Only solved by snookersfun so far! Congratulations snookersfun!

Round 153

ROUND 153

http://www.thesnookerforum.com/photo...ndex.php?n=275

While everyone finishes (or starts) on R151 and R152 have a look at the above image. There is a pattern in there somewhere - any idea why some cells are shaded and some are not?

Answers by PM please.

OK, let's do a quick update:

The April fools puzzle was solved by d_g and Monique now. Well done! Anybody else? It is not soooo difficult.

I hope the other one will be attacked/solved by somebody eventually (good idea for between session entertainment!).

...and maybe to balance that a bit:
Round 152: (kind of missed the date on this one...)

[snookersfun]

While we are still eagerly awaiting Rambon's puzzle,
Round 151: Have fun! Don't be afraid to ask questions either.

[davis_greatest]

snookersfun has got in first with an answer to round 150! Well done!

and there's a lesson for everyone else - .... see, never be afraid of asking stupid questions

[snookersfun]

Probably spelt wrong.

lol, yes 'ein Ball' or 'einer' or 'der eine Ball'
and thank you for the kind answers....






arrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh

hah, and may the record show, she solved it after all!

[davis_greatest]

...eine...

Probably spelt wrong.

Round 150 clarification

I've been asked a few questions on round 150 - it's only fair that everyone has the same answers, so I'll post the questions and responses here...

did you put in all the necessary balls?...

Well, I bloody well hope so.

Can there be overlapping squares?

Of course not, silly! What kind of squares would they be?

It is one and only one ball each, isn't it?

Yes, one, 1, eine.

19 balls=19 squares?

Superbly worked out.

(I've anonymised the questions in case snookersfun doesn't want everyone to know who asked them.)

[davis_greatest]

While rambon perfects his question, I'll interject and steal the honour of posing round 150 (although I didn't invent this one )....

Divide this large square into smaller squares, so that each square you form contains exactly one red snooker ball.

[Q Ball]

Just thought i had to reply to the thread, i dont have the answer, but it obviously got everyone brain working overtime..lol

Q

[rambon]

Yes, well, Rambon, we all had kind of the same logic problems. I copied that puzzle from a German site btw., but translated carefully and faithfully.
I guess, if the professor expects an answers giving only these informations it has to work only for one of the two possible solutions. So it is either older than 49 or older than 50, which leaves the 50 as unique solution....

kind of.... but don't worry, the logic wasn't too foolproof on this one...


could be of course older than 64 btw....

Agreed, but part of me thinks if older than 64 then the other solution is more valid...

Anyway, moving on. I have a question that I'm working on for you. Should be able to post it later today with a bit of luck.
