7?

 

 

2000 posts - hooray!!

Congratulations on the 2000th post, oops wrong thread!

 

Sorry, not 7.

If it's any help, the wording of the question is carefully chosen.

[+purple_pineapple]

I think its

 

-i

 

 

actually, i got the same rather obvious pattern as slimey... so no sensible answer from me!

[+Archer4]

"?"

 

[+The Bongtwashes]

No, not -i or ?. but at least you're not chasing an 'obvious' solution (at least not obvious until you realise the simple reasoning)

[+Guanajuato]

0 ?

It looks like its the previous number plus the difference between the current & previous number. make sense?

[+purple_pineapple]

No, not -i or ?. but at least you're not chasing an 'obvious' solution (at least not obvious until you realise the simple reasoning)

 

lol, i was being silly - i'm gonna have to think again now!

[+The Bongtwashes]

No-one has got it yet. There can be no terms before the question mark, but otherwise it is an infinite series.

[+Team Maddie UK]

How's about A1 ?

 

I believe that each number is the decimal equivalent of it's hexadecimal predecessor

[+The Bongtwashes]

How's about A1 ?

Nope, single character.

[+Team Maddie UK]

B ... darn it !!!!

 

I can't believe I got that wrong I was so excited that I'd solved it, I managed to screw up the answer.

That'll be a DING

 

Read each character as a hexadecimal number, the next term is it's decimal equivalent.

ie B(hex) = 11(dec) , 11(hex) = 17(dec) etc.

 

Over to you.

[+Team Maddie UK]

Phew!!!! That was a good 'en Bongtwashers

 

Well... a new one... hmmmm...

 

Right...

 

Of which profession is 'Joseph of Aramathea' the patron saint?

[+The Blorenges]

Tin miners

(in Cornwall, anyway)

 

MrsB

[+teamvennall]

Can anyone play?

 

I think he's the patron saint of undertakers (as in burying, not motorways).

By all means! No Googling the answers though...

Yep teamvenall,

Ding! You get the coconut!!! (and a special mention to Mrs Blorenge who pointed out that Joseph is also, apparently, the patron saint of tin miners. One which had escaped my checking)

 

Over to you for the next question

[+teamvennall]

Yay, I got a ding!

 

Who was down and out in the rue du Coq d'Or?

[+Archer4]

Yay, I got a ding!

 

Who was down and out in the rue du Coq d'Or?

 

George Orwell was down and out in Paris and London so I'll have a punt at that badger...

Correct - but I don't have enough computer-savvy to do the ding thing properly. You'll just have to imagine it.

What question number are we on?

[+Archer4]

If 8 bits are a byte, what are 4 bits?

[+Team Maddie UK]

A nibble

[+Archer4]

A nibble

 

That would be just plain silly...

I've always thought that was neat as well. Programmers do have a sense of humour

 

Ok... Approximately what quantity of gas is expelled each day from the average human through flatulence?

a. 1 pint

b. 2 pints

c. 1 gallon

I have two teenagers - shouldn't that be measured in tankers?

I'm a bit concerned that these are "liquid" measurements

Good point Mrs Blorenge. Actuall they are fluid measurements at NPT which, I believe means normal pressure and temperature.

But surely this is at neither normal pressure or temperature

Once released it is regarded as normal. Prior to that it's painfully not so

[+teamvennall]

Apparently seagulls can't pass wind (or so I'm told) so if you lace their bread with bicarb. of soda... they're in real trouble.

 

 

I'm going to guess now - 2 pints.

A gallon

I'll go for a quart then

i believe they're are measurements of volume, and gas has a volume.

The answer I had was one pint, but having researched it, it seems that 1-3 pints is average so I have to give it to you. Ding
