Brain Teaser

[Aidron]

I came up with this lil' puzzle a few months back as a way of warding off stupid guys. If they asked me out I'd present them with the puzzle and if they could figure it out, I would go out on a date with them. The funny thing is, no one ever figured it out. :lol:

So, I want to see if anyone can 'finally' solve it. It's very simple, it just looks intimidating.

I came up with this lil' puzzle a few months back as a way of warding off stupid guys.

gosh, i just use big words at them til they decide i'm weird. :lol:

can we have a hint?

[Mindflayer]

I think the puzzle is the numbers

yeah, but no instructions? I mean what the hell are we suppose to do with them?

[NightBathen]

Come On People,... It Is Her Freakin Phone Number For Christ Sakes!!!

I Mean Please, The Answer I Posted In Third, And Your Still Like, Hey Can We Have A Hint? Duhiuck, Hey Ma, Where Is The Rubber Cement, I Kinda Need A Pick Me Up, Teacher Says She Feels Like The Miracle Worker When I Read To Her!!!

[Mindflayer]

umm I think raven is a guy ;)




and, by the way you did it the first numbers can't be right (if you remove ALL the 1's 2's and 6's)

[Mindflayer]

hmm interesting to note, the numbers are equal (in amount and spacing) as

witch name ravenwindsong



but, the numbers don't match...hehe just thought it was cool :p

[NightBathen]

if raven windsong is a guy then why is he saying warding off stupid guys?

[FaerieGothMommy]

if raven windsong is a guy then why is he saying warding off stupid guys?

I thought the same thing! :lol:

[Mindflayer]

well, correct me if I'm wrong, but from the avatar/blinkies in his sig, and the way he has spoken...


I believe he may be Bisexual...or gay

I'm very much gay, and very much going to have a word with the god/dess someday soon over this. It's all their fault. They so totally knew how infuriating gay guys are. I blame them!

[Hawk Shadowsoul]

What's that got to do with solving the puzzle?

I'm a ^%$@ carpenter, not a *&^%$ codebreaker. By me.

[Gareth]

I think the answer is 8
I doubt it, but I had to try. I've got more theories on the correct answer if I'm worng.

* edited to add *

Or the answer could be 9, like I said I've got a bunch more.
Number puzzles are my favorite. :)

[Lanna]

*is still intrigued*

[Lunacie]

*shrug* Doesn't look like I'll be getting a date anytime soon. ;)

[Pesha]

Gay, shmay, I love Raven any way. Now I also have a headache from this bloody puzzel. But of course it is staring me right in the face, ummm,no still can't see it.....oh well tea is ready so I am off for a cuppa.

BB
DS.

[Aidron]

Oooh. Such an uproar over a few numbers. :lol:

Okay, yes, I'm a guy. See my lil' dolly? ;)

Secondly, the numbers are the puzzle. I know, I know, I detest numbers as much as anyone else, but oh well.

I'm honestly surprised no one has ever managed to figure it out. I've told a few people, who usually slap themselves when they realize how easy it was.

I won't tell you the answer though.... just yet. ;)

[Fairywolf]

Raven that is such a cruel thing to do. I LOVE IT!!! LMAO :devil:

P.S. I suck at numbers so I am not even going to guess....yet!!

[Mindflayer]

ok that's it, this puzzle is making my head hurt, but I WILL figure it out!!!


EDIT: the closest thing I got is: 45895 (an address? maybe?)


but, I'm sure the spacing in the numbers is important...soooo, I got nothing :(

[Aidron]

I'll go ahead and help everyone out a bit since I am forever being asked if these numbers are or contain my phone number and/or address.

They do not. ;)

[Morrighana]

Okay, the best I've got is: 5, 6, 7.

Warm? Cold? Deep fried in beer batter?

Deep fried in beer batter. :lol:

I'm not honestly sure whether that makes you close or not though, I just wanted to say it. :p


You're way off though, waaaaaaaaaaaay off.

[Mindflayer]

How about a little hint?



are the numbers personal?

do they relate to letters?

is spacing important?

[Aidron]

ONE HINT! ;)

No, the numbers are not personal. If they were, how could anyone ever truly figure it out? Remember, this was designed for guys I do not know, so if it was personal, how would they ever figure it out and impress me? :p

[Aidron]

Oh, and to spice it up a bit, I'll give whomever figures it out first... hmm, well, I shall take requests. Nothing lewd now! :lol:

I mean, it's not like I could date any of you, which was the incentive for all the guys who attempted it. ;)

[DanuMoonrunner]

Raven is a 10 or the other person is

4+1+1+2+6=14 1+4=5
5+8+1+1=15 1+5=6
9+1+5+2+1+6+2+6+2+1+2+6+1=44 4+4=8
5+6+8=19
1+9=10!

Probably way off, but that's the best I came up with!
And anyone who can put up with Charley Brown is a 10 in my book!

[Mindflayer]

bah, was hoping for more than that, but thats helps, that rules out Birthday/pin number/SS #/etc :p

:lol:

Isn't THAT the truth? ;)


Nope, the numbers again are not personal, so they have nothing to do with me. This was the best attempt to date I've seen though. Much better than "Is it an address where I can meet you later for... (insert lewd occurance here)?"

*shudders*

[Aidron]

bah, was hoping for more than that, but thats helps, that rules out Birthday/pin number/SS #/etc :p


:lol:

I wouldn't post my pin number or social security number here. I know how much you all want to steal my identity and become the fabulous Raven WindSong. :rollingla

Whoa... about fell out of my chair there. My head suddenly became very big and um, heavy.


Actually, no one has suggested my birthday yet, so that would be a good guess, even if it is inaccurate. :)

[Gareth]

So what is the answer?

[Mindflayer]

NO! don't post the answer!


I haven't solved it yet!

or given up! :p





ok, let's see, list of numbers, supposedly VERY simple...duuuur

[Aidron]

NO! don't post the answer!

or given up! :p

I'm not. I sent Gareth a private message telling him I would be the first to tell him the actual answer, after someone figures it out, of course, and before I confirm the guess as being true.

Though... who says I will ever tell if someone doesn't figure it out? ;)

(See Hawk, it's not the magick that is evil, it's me. :smoke: )

[Gareth]

Well Raven, when these men approach, what do you ask them?
Do you say 'solve this' or something that relates to it?

[Aidron]

Well Raven, when these men approach, what do you ask them?
Do you say 'solve this' or something that relates to it?


Nah, they never approach me. I'm 'too' intimidating, or so I'm told. I write it down, hand it to whomever they sent to ask me out for them and tell their friend if they can figure it out, sure.



Who would have thought a lil' puzzle could cause such an uproar. I have 20 people asking me for hints and attempting to solve it as we speak. Frightening....

[Mindflayer]

people like puzzles, and hate when they can't solve them



this is getting on my nerves, cause I am AWESOME at riddle, and a love logic puzzles...



why can't I get this!!!!!!!!!

Because I designed it and I'm... demented? :)


Yeah, try that everyone. Grab someone demented that you know and see if they can solve it. Perhaps it takes the clinically insane to decipher a clinically insane person's puzzle. ;)

[Mindflayer]

but, I AM demented :(

411 means FYI. The rest means I am a nerd who only speaks in numbers.

[Gareth]

I tried that, it didn't work out.

[Aidron]

411 means FYI. The rest means I am a nerd who only speaks in numbers.



Oooooooh, so close. :p

Almost EVERYONE tries to include 411 as me giving you information. It's the most common guess to date.

[Hawk Shadowsoul]

Is it a graph of a heartbeat? Danus guess.

[Aidron]

Is it a graph of a heartbeat? Danus guess.


Like I told her, very good guess, but no.

You people are getting so creative, I'm thoroughly impressed.


Do not over analyze it, it's extremely simple. Over analyzing it seems to be where most people go wrong with it and ultimately fail to see the answer.

[Imbrium]

:ahhhh:

My brain doesn't do "easy". Do you have a number puzzle in the "infantile" category?

[Aidron]

Afraid not, my dear. :)

[Gareth]

How about 22?

[Aidron]

How about 22?


22? :hrmm:

I'm not sure I follow you.

[Gareth]

22? :hrmm:

I'm not sure I follow you.
Total single digits. So it must be wrong if you didn't follow it.

Oh my gosh... someone ACTUALLY solved it. I am extremely impressed, Mindflayer. :)

Well DONE!


Edit:

No really, I'm totally impressed. Not one person has ever come close enough to even impress me, and to figure it out entirely without my help. Wow.

[Mindflayer]

truthfully, I got a little help from a friend ;)



but, yeah :D

[Gareth]

WHAT?!?
* clears throat *
Could you explain that to me?
I don't get it.

Hooray for Mindflayer. You are truly demented to be on Ravens' wavelength.

[Gareth]

WHAT?!?

I don't get it.
Forget it.

[Aidron]

WHAT?!?

I don't get it.


The numbers relate to a letter within the alphabet.

Such as A = 1, B = 2.

I reversed it, twice, to throw everyone off.

Not only is it spelled backwards, but the numbers themself are in a revers order, so if 26 for Z is in the puzzle, you read it from left to right as 62.

[Imbrium]

:doh2:

[MoonRaven]

The answer was more demented than the actual question :)
(kind of like the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything).
