First person to guess what letter I'm thinking of as I'm writing this, wins! Wins what exactly, I'm not really sure, but hey, you can win!

(There is a clue in there, somewhere...)

'I'?

close, but no cigar

j ?

t......maybe?

Nope, and no. But "t" came pretty close also...

w?

Nada

r?

So far, PotomacDorms, with the guess "I" and Burcemia with the guess "t" have come the closest! Could they might have gotten the clue?

u?

H or S?

writing 'this' is why I said 't'.....not sure what else..... 'h' and 's'!

Oh c'mon cheaters, one letter at a time!

Filamai changed his from 'I' to 'H'! thats sooooo not fair!!!!

it's L

Edits do not count, nor do two letters at a time! Noone has won yet!

Filamai changed his from 'I' to 'H'! thats sooooo not fair!!!!

I never saw your post, but jynx!

'S' on its bloody own then! I wanna win :(

H!

your determind to out do me arnt you?! :wink: :P

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! The winner IS..............................................(drum roll)......................................................................(any second now)................................................................................................ .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... ..........................................................................
FILAMAI, WITH THE LETTER H! Although Burcemia deserves half credit to, for if he hadnt guessed S, who knows?

Congrats for figuring out the clue!

I'll have to think up a new one now, that one went to fast.

You should try me at chess when I'm in my 'chess-trance', Burcemia.

*has a compeditive streak*

*sulks* oh well, always next time :D I'll be waiting Filamai :wink:

Lol, okay heres another one.
The letter this time is my nation's favorite letter. And since this one might be real easy, the 4th person to say it this time wins! You can also post your guess 4 times if you want, as long as they arn't all at the same time.

A.

'U'

a :D

A.

Remember, the FOURTH one to say the correct answer wins, so even if someone may have it right or not, theres no telling until it comes up the fourth time.

A!

An O

a :D

Lol, well THAT was easy. FILAMAI WINS AGAIN WITH A!

i guess you're not allowed to just say the letter four times like U,U,U,U are U? :D

Yay!

damnit!

Is it F?

:lol: lol, someone else think of one now, mine are to easy

ok no clues just go.

x

(apparently "x" is not a message :? )

Z!

WHOOO made a hundred!

p

Okay, as the champion, I lay my first challenge:

Half of 26,4,22,6,18,8,14,?.

Filamai, I'm gonna have to say 10!

Okay, as the champion, I lay my first challenge:

Half of 26,4,22,6,18,8,14,?.
10, 10, 12, 6, 14, 2, 16.

Filamai, I'm gonna have to say 10!

This is still a letter game, and even if it wasn't, you're still wrong. ;)

49 8)

Holy crap, now I'm really confused bad.

10, 10, 12, 6, 14, 2, 16.

Think laterally, too.

*is deeply confused* :(

Holy crap, now I'm really confused bad.

This is my easy one. ;) just you wait till it gets figured out!

13,2,11,3,9,4,7!

13,2,11,3,9,4,7!

This is still the letter game.

AAAHHHH! Are we guessing letters or numbers! And filamai, was the half of part part of the...the thing?

Damnit again!

Pie to the square root of G?

You are still guessing letters. The numbers are the clue. and the half is involved somehow too

Oops, spelled it wrong. It's PI to the square root of G

OHHHHHH! Well, it all seems to be much clearer now...

Oops, spelled it wrong. It's PI to the square root of G

P.I.G? :?

:lol:

"E" would be half of "J".

In that case: M,B,K,C,I,D,G!

"E" would be half of "J".

WINNER

*repeatadly bangs head on table*

Erm, F?

:?

is this bizzaro land or something?!?! explain!

Oh, duh i get it, shoulda got that one....

The numbers correspond to different letters -their place in the alphabet. The last number in the sequence is "10", or "J". Half of 10 is 5, which would be "E".

I'm surprised some new ppl joined. Most probably just looked at our conversation and just said, "what the hell, I'm outta here" :lol:

Nice work upper! That "think laterally" thing shoulda helped me out a lot, but it just kinda flew right over my head...

I suppose I should put one up. In the spirit of the math based one, here's:

a, d, i, p, y, j, w, l, ?

edit, to make the sequence clearer:
A, D, I, P, Y, J, W, L, ?

Hmm, I see no pattern...dam i gotta go soon :(

It's similar to the one I answered, but with a twist.

Here's a pretty big hint.

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 10, 23, 12, ?

Now I don't know about you guys but I think that was way too easy!

Guess the letter!

(1A / 2) = ?((A / 2)+8 )

[Edit: Whoa, spent too much time formulating this. Carry on then do this next.]

Ah jeez Filamai I think I had something and then you put that up there and my haed blows open :?

Ah, I gotta go guys, keep at em!

I should write a puzzle book.

I'm going to bed now, but rest assured I can and will make more cryptic puzzles than the easy ones I've layed down here.

I'm confused, surely 1A = A and therefore (A/2) can't = ((A/2)+8)

I'm confused, surely 1A = A and therefore (A/2) can't = ((A/2)+8)

I'll give you the same advice as before, think laterally as well as logically. I assure you it's not irrational and bizzare, even if it does look it at first glance.

Hey everyone, I'm back! Not that anyone probably cares...and everyones probably already gone, but if anyone can solve the problem on page 4, (I think its page 4) you win!

Upper Irata's is C I think. The pattern is the square numbers, cycled round the alphabet. J is the tenth letter of the alphabet, second time round, so the thirty-sixth letter. Am I right? Can't get Filamai's off hand though. I'll try again after wee while of thinking though.

You are correct! It's pretty obvious if you see the 1, 4, 9, 16 to start with that it's a pattern of squares.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Ah dam! Why can't I ever see these? Man, it's so obvious now, grr... well, hats off to ya Kalmykhia, congrats. Okay, I think I got one:

1,3,7,13,21,31...

You cannot get this one!

Oh c'mon, nobody's gonna even take a stab at what the letter is?

Q for this last one. The next number in the list is 43.

I'll give you guys a hint: 16

Nope, isn't Q. Even though the next number would be 43, this one isn't the same as the others.

the answer is 1?

Nah, its a letter we're lookin for.

Guessing at Arkanstan's is w, the 43rd letter of his post (grabbing at straws here). And Filamai's still has me stumped... even with the clue. Help?
