Then how about Baboon Madness?

Anyhow....

Round 70

Gordon is playing with 7 snooker balls. He arranges them on the floor to form 5 rows of 3 snooker balls in each row. Show how he can do this.

Well surely in an 'H' shape, viz.:

O..O
OOO
O..O

Two vertical rows, one horizontal and two diagonals (one /, one \ ).

[snookersfun]

I have 6 rows of three balls

oh well, my english takes so much time to write the answer!!!

Did we stop doing the PM thing to answer things? (I ask because the last two days have been hellishly busy at work and I've barely been here.)

[davis_greatest]

Hilariously, this was much easier than even the fairly easy puzzle I had thought it was! But out of generosity and celebration for the fact that this site is back up, I shall award a point each to The Statman, snookersfun and April "Ape" Madness!

I had actually been thinking of something a bit like this:

...0
.0.0.0
0..0..0


SO HERE IS THE SCOREBOARD AFTER ROUND 70 BUT BEFORE ROUND 68, APE BREAK MADNESS

snookersfun……………………….…..32½
abextra...............................16
davis_greatest.....................13½
Vidas..................................12½
robert602.............................6
elvaago...............................6
chasmmi..............................5½
The Statman……………………..……5
Semih_Sayginer.....................2½
April Madness.......................1


And now I shall post this quickly, before I change my mind... I am already highly tempted to downgrade these to half a point each!

We didn't stop. Just some people have been forgetting Usually answers should be given by PM, unless stated in the question! I'll try to put a reminder each time!

[April madness]

Yay, I am finally on the scoreboard!

ROUND SEVENTY-ONE

This is an easy one, possibly, and I'm not sure whether to post it on the numbers quiz or the words quiz.

Can you come up with two sums which add up to the same, which are anagrams when written in numbers and also when written in words (in English)? The winning answer is the one with the lowest total.

For example:

7+26=33 is an anagram of 27+6=33, and so is:
Seven plus twenty-six equals thirty-three and anagram of twenty-seven plus six equals thirty-three.

So this is a valid answer, and would win if nobody came up with a similar answer with a total of less than 33.

What is the lowest?

[elvaago]

1 + 2 = 3
2 + 1 = 3
one plus two equals three
two plus one equals three
Or doesn't that count? ;-)

[davis_greatest]

1 + 2 = 3
2 + 1 = 3
one plus two equals three
two plus one equals three
Or doesn't that count? ;-)

Hehehehehe

minus-fifteen-trillion plus minus fifty-six-quadrillion = minus 56 quadrillion and 15 trillion

minus-fifty-six-quadrillion plus minus fifteen-trillion = minus 56 quadrillion and 15 trillion

or

TWELVE plus ONE = 13
TWO plus ELEVEN = 13

?

[The Statman]

1 + 2 = 3
2 + 1 = 3
one plus two equals three
two plus one equals three
Or doesn't that count? ;-)

Forgot to say, it must not just be simply a reversal of the two numbers being added!

[davis_greatest]

Sorry, The Statman, I've forgotten my own rule!... Should we be posting answers here or sending them to you by Private Message? I assumed as no deadline was given, it was the former.

[The Statman]

In any case, the TWELVE plus ONE and ELEVEN plus TWO is the answer I was looking for.

Regarding previous question, I DID reply by PM. I was on the BBC board until it closed at noon, so by definition it was afternoon by the time I answered here.

[elvaago]

In that case, I believe davis greatest's answer to be the lowest you can score if you remain truthful to the question being the two numbers before the = sign have to be different.
Otherwise it's as simple as
10 + 1 = 11
1 + 10 = 11
And I don't want points for this one. DG deserves it!
