sorry, I left this a bit late: Mon also tiled with the Pentaminos (R.344). Well done

and d_g is easing in by having solved R.341 (without peeking at the solution, I trust). Congrats

[Monique]

Tallguy and Abextra already solved R345! Very well done
Moglet is nearly there also ...

Congratulations also to abextra who solved round 321 - I am sure a long time ago!

Please would you put the answer on the thread?

Taking away these four red balls should leave Barry with no chance to make a triangle.

Round 345 ...

Yesterday Charlie, Gordon, Oliver and Rollie played a few frames of snooker and they are now boasting in front of Gwenny (males!)

Charlie: "I was the best, Gordon was second, Oliver third and Rollie was the worst! "
Rollie: "Yeah, yeah, there were only 3 points difference between my aggregated point scores and yours yanno "
Gordon: "Oooh cool down Rollie... we all scored rather heavily. "
Oliver: "Oh yes, true! What was it that we got all together? 1024 or 1042 points? "

and Gwenny says: "Ooooh ... surely 1042. And I even know your scores now! "

How does Gwenny know about the scores and what are they?

Note that Gwenny knows immediately it must be 1042, before she even tries to compute scores ... how?

[snookersfun]

[abextra]

Abextra now sent me a perfect solution for Number Cruncher R336. Well done !!! Abextra will you put your solution on the thread? thanks!

Let's see if it works.

[snookersfun]

Hope you are all busy tiling now

breaking news-breaking news

moglet first in with the solution to R. 343. Very well done!


maybe just to clarify that round a little bit
a) yes, 0 is considered an even digit here
b) squares/circles stand for any even/odd number (so not necessarily the same)

should anybody need extra hints (btw. that stands for any question) I am happy to give those on the thread or by PM

[snookersfun]

good to see so much input over the last few days! A special welcome to our newest puzzle solver, tallguy!
(P.S. no, not hard to get in at all, solving the odd puzzle is usually all it requires)

So, not to let this slack again, here are two more for the weekend:

R.343 more breaks if we stick to the latest numbering

…and the reminiscing continues. 'Do you remember that day last month, when my game just wasn't flowing at all? My highest break was just ridiculous for my standard! Luckily by the time of our game the following week, all had improved considerably.'

'How high were your high-breaks on those two occasions?'

'Oh, look, you can figure that out easily: if I would multiply them and write out the multiplication operation, only using squares for even digits and circles for odd digits, it would look like this:'

Please give those 2 numbers

and also
R.344 more pentaminos

arrange the 12 possible different pentaminos into a 5x12 grid



Have fun!

[Kathrin]

yeah, it´s hard to get in there but it could also be that the puzzle was known before which I didn´t know, I don´t mind.

[PaulTheSoave]

It looks like you are not taken serious by all the puzzle members.
Its a clique.

abextra and tallguy also solved R. 342/1, well done
