This is what I mean by arbitrary answers...if my calculations are right, the answer might be that P, E, and R are each worth 10. L, U, N, G, and D are each worth 15. Nothing to do with vowels and consonants.

Adherent?

Yes Andre, very good!

I'm not sure what you mean Ian. Your point system seems random. Would it work no matter what color you chose?

The 15 letters below can be anagrammed into a five-word phrase meaning "almost never." What is the phrase?

ABCEEILMNNNOOOU

Once in a blue moon.

You're just too quick Ian! Are you sure you didn't have a hand in writing this calendar!?!

I think these Mensa puzzles are too easy for you guys! MizT is right about the caliber of people here!

If you take the letter/value scheme above, it works for purple (70), green (60), and red (35). If you apply it to orange, it gives a value of 50 for RNGE. Any value you place on "o" and "a" (including zero), means that the value of orange is 50 plus that value, and it would be consistent with, and not contradict, the other three.

Find the word in the bottom row that best completes the following sequence.

HIGH ABSURD DELIGHT START ________

a) LIFT b) PLAY c) NOTE d) COLOR


(Why? I took a guess and was right but had no idea why. They do explain in their answer.)

note? contains sequential letters at the beginning?

Mary, sounds right to me!

You are so good Mary!! I think there are definitely Mensa candidates here!

How many common English words can you make from the letters below, using all six letters once in each word?

A D E R R W

Does anyone know how to view pictures that were previous used in puzzles? There used to be a link, but I can't find it.

drawer, reward, warder to start

redraw too

c'mon everyone there must be heaps more

warred

thats the five easy ones...I'll leave the hard ones for the others

warder

oops

Stella: I don't think the link exists anymore, or at least, I haven't been able to find it. You can get them one at a time through the archives, but there have been problems, I think related to the changing of the host server (or whatever it's called) for this site. Nearly all the pictures are one or two days off from the comments posted about them.

Stella: But try these:

//sudoku.com.au/Gallery.aspx?d=P (parents)

//sudoku.com.au/Gallery.aspx?d=V (tough)

//sudoku.com.au/Gallery.aspx?d=H (hard)

//sudoku.com.au/Gallery.aspx?d=M (medium)

//sudoku.com.au/Gallery.aspx?d=E (Easy)

I was not able to post the entire address (possible a security measure), so put in h t t p with a colon at the beginning of each one.

all

Stella, only got the answer 75 points, after you said Ian was close, and worked it out from there, otherwise I wouldn't have got it.
so thanks Ian for working out the formula..

Mary, you got them all, again! You are very good with words!

hey Stella, I love cryptic crosswords...so that helps

Thanks Ian! I've been looking all over for them!

You are certainly the expert Mary!

aw shucks...now I'll have to retire

I didn't even try to figure this one out.

Find a six-digit number in which the first digit is three less than the second and five less than the third, the third digit is two less than the fourth, the fifth digit is six less than the fourth and the last digit is double the fifth. The sum of all the digits is 32.

257936?

Mary, you were up very early this morning! (5:30am) Do you usually get up that early or you just couldn't sleep?

Very good Ian!! That was very fast! I'm impressed!

There were only ten possibilities...

Good morning Rolanda, you were here early this morning as well! Anything good planned for today?
