Round 284

Use the base converter below for conversion

I found that the following is match:
553 (base 13)
546 (base 23)
897 (base 17)
318 (base 19)

converts all 4 numbers into base 10 and sum them up then convert back to the base 32 and submit the answer.

Round 283

What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

If there is no tricks, you shouldn't need hints? or would you... ?

Some people suggest this one:

Logically, I don't really see the reason for it but feel free to answer what you like. Maybe it is the answer.... We never know...

Round 282

Date Released: October 9th, 2008.

As you may know, each Neopets item has a numerical rarity associated with it. So add up the following:

The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #92
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #107
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #129
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #142
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #192
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #219
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #229
+ The rarity of the item awarded in Lenny Conundrum #281

What is the total? If a rarity has changed since the prize was first awarded, go with the current rarity. And please, submit only a number with no punctuation or other information.

Round 281

Date Released: October 2nd, 2008.
Date Rewarded: October 9th, 2008.

Walking into Chesterdrawer's Antiques, you notice several clocks on the wall. The first clock reads 9:00, the second reads 6:07, the third 10:45, the fifth 7:45, the sixth 7:52, and the seventh 4:37.

What should the fourth clock read?

Prize


Grandfather Clock

Click to show/hide solution

First we convert the clock time into position of hour and minute hands of 12 hour dial face. Then, we use the Flag Semaphore Character chart [1] to decode the hands.

A	B	C	D	E	F
G	H	I	J	K	L
M	N	O	P	Q	R
S	T	U	V	W	X
Y	Z

9:00 => P
6:07 => E
10:45 => O
(the 4th clock)
7:45 => H
7:52 =>I
4:37 => N

The word would be PEOPHIN (which is a name of a pet species). Therefore, the 4th letter is P which is the same as the first one. The answer is 9:00.

Results: 1885 people guessed the correct answer earning themselves 1062 NP each.
