| 429459 | 2006-02-12 10:01:00 | Nonsense - the solution is mathematically derived. It's simply called number patterns, and probably was taught in 6th or 7th form school. I did it as part of my first year uni cos I never did maths in my last years of school. 312211 is correct. How did you work that out? some working will probably jog my memory of 6th form maths |

| 429460 | 2006-02-12 10:09:00 | OK, another one... The riddle of Erim's Legacy. Brother Atrus 11 AD - 52 AD Brother Cyrus 12 AD - 48 AD "Atrus' death has nothing to do with Erim's Legacy, and neither does the birth of Cyrus. Their deaths had nothing to do with Erim's Legacy" "There are twelve different paths to Erim's treasure, and three of them must be set ablaze. Only when the correct three paths have been lit in the correct order will Erim's treasure be revealed. Time is meaningless to Erim, yet is the key to revealing her treasure." "The Golden Guardian stands ready, facing each new day as it begins anew. The hand sweeps out the path of the sun. When the year of Atrus' death is equal to the year of Cyrus' birth, Erim's treasure will be revealed. They are not equal in numbers, yet identical in time. Erim awaits; your days are numbered." Where it mentions "set ablaze" choose three numbers from 1 to 12 |

I suppose it is maths, but it is more of a logic puzzle requiring you to think outside the square. Maths is usually all about staying inside the square. |

| 429464 | 2006-02-12 10:32:00 | well i just added the fist unit to the second ( a unit being a grouping of one or more digits, OK?) Then the 2nd and the 3rd to get the fourth and then..........got 13. prolly a major duh |

| 429465 | 2006-02-12 18:53:00 | Ok i think Metla answered that one for me..... I agree with Greven about it being a logic puzzle not a maths puzzle. |

| 429466 | 2006-02-13 02:05:00 | Most logic has a mathematical component. You could say Sudoku hasn' t because you could replace the numbers with letters or any other collection of symbols but with this problem you have to use numbers ipso facto it is mathematical. | Dally (6292) | ||
