Round 279

Date Released: September 18th, 2008.
Date Rewarded: September 25th, 2008.

A Chomby was walking down a path one day when Jhudora appeared in front of it. "Solve this puzzle, and you may pass," she said.

Add up all of the previous Lenny Conundrum answers where the answer could be expressed as a number. If the answer was more than one number, pick the lower of the two answers. Take the square root of that sum, round to the nearest integer, and replace the digits as follows:

1 : G
2 : A if preceded by an odd digit, P if preceded by an even digit
3 : H if preceded by an odd digit, R if preceded by an even digit
4 : T if preceded by an odd digit, Y if preceded by an even digit
5 : O if preceded by an odd digit, E if preceded by an even digit.
6 : N
7 : D
8 : U if preceded by an odd digit, I if preceded by an even digit.
9 : S if preceded by an odd digit, W if preceded by an even digit.
0 : L if preceded by an odd digit, M if preceded by an even digit.

Then, unscramble these letters to find a Neopian word. What is the word? Please only submit a single word, with no other information or punctuation, or your answer may be disqualified.

The biggest number that can contribute to the sum is in Round 111 (294,215,686,440,197,000,000), the second biggest number is in Round 269 (52,907,904,000). Other numbers are insignificant to the biggest number. If we take the square root of the biggest number, we get 17,152,716,591. If we take the square root of the sum of the two biggest numbers, we get 17,152,716,592. Therefore, other numbers do not affect the result. It has been verified by adding all numbers in all rounds.

Using 17,152,716,592 to decode, we get GDGOADGNESA. It is not supposed to be what TNT intended. It should be GDGAADGMESA or GDGMADGAESA. With either one of them, the answer is gadgadsgame. Here is what TNT said:

Actually, there was an error in the puzzle that we did not notice until after the Lenny Conundrum went live, so we accepted many different answers that had "Gadgads" in it.

Results: 1325 people guessed the correct answer earning themselves 1510 NP each.

It's funny that the above sentence is from Lenny Conundrum: "Also giving out the answer or obvious hints is against the rules."

According to the news, "The correct answer to last week's was Thirty-Four as it was in fact referring to Mulvinn the Wocky." TNT took it down and replaced with "The Nightsteed" article.

Note: If you have a copy of that article, please let me know.
