He knows 4 divides into those, but they don't count because of the whole law about time and space and stuff. It is written down somewhere. but when it come to years ending with 00 they have to be dividable by 400 to count as a leap year. 100 200 300 500 600, they don't count. | |||

Grey, Kario explained my logic better than I did! My answer is five days less than yours because of those five years (100, 200, 300, 500, and 600) which would be leap years, but aren't. This part of your analysis is incorrect: Four divides very easily into 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hundred, so those years are all leap years, giving us not 145 extra days, but 150. The years 100, 200, 300, 500, and 600 only have 365 days in them, even though we might expect 366, and so the 5-day discrepancy is accounted for. 31306 3/7 is the answer, and as that football player whose name I can't remember used to say, 'that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!' |

Heh, you guys are funny. All I was looking for was simple math of 600 x 52. However, I'm going to throw that question out and ask a new one, since it sparked so much controversy. Anyway, Lenophis got the answer right for set number 20. Kario got the right answer for the MC/P. Below is Set #21 and a re-issue of the 3-point bonus question. SCORE: Grey -- 17 points NSNick -- 14 points Heian-794 -- 10 points Kario -- 5 points Lenophis -- 4 points Kirby ATW -- 2 points Ed, APH Striker & Clockworkz -- 1 point each SET #21 (3 points): HtPd, Dl, Cq 3-POINT BONUS QUESTION #1: What is the name of the first character you meet on Star Ocean 3?

No idea about the main question, but I believe the answer to the bonus question is Sophia. | |||

HtPd = Hewlett Packard Dl = Dell Cq = Compaq I believe these specific symbols are on the NASDAQ. |

I'd say that they're all first and last letters of computer companies. They're not stock ticker symbols; those are HPQ, DELL, and -- not sure if Compaq is listed or not. | |||

They're all round. (And all can involve metal, though coasters can't have too much metal or they'll conduct heat...) | |||
