The picture the question came with is attached.

At this point, I don't even know where to start.

I got the answer by printing the page and circling the given dates.


THANK YOU.

5 is the 3rd PN

I know

5 is the 3rd Prime Number
but it wont accept that, so I dunno where to go from here. I notice there is zero penalty.
I guess they change the questions. I didn't get that one. The book puzzle had 20 books, but I saw only 4 in the diagram, so I was calculating for only 4 books. I also made a couple other stupid mistakes and now have 21.6 for a score.

I didn't get that one either. And my book one only had 13 books while others had 15. So they are changing it up a little.
My score is looking pretty crappy too because of the stupid Sahara one. I typed it but it wouldn't take it so I tried tons of other possibilites and significantly reduced my score. It finally accepted the answer but my score still sucks. Oh well.

 		Yah I know how you feel faeryqueen, Im already -2.1 on my current question. I'm on #8 (though it seems like I have completely different questions than some of you) and am getting really frustrated with it. I know the answer and have tried lots of different ways of phrasing it but the site still won't accept it.


Quote:
You have 6 identical matches and you have to build 4 identical triangles. (The length of any triangle side must be equal to 1 match)
How would you do it?


The answer


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
make a tetrahedron


is fairly easy to figure out but I can't figure out what they want here. Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions?

Find a more common name, and only use one word.

I was just thinking about that one, and the answer really doesn't technically match the question.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They don't accept "tetrahedron"?

Also for the changing questions, I never had the Sahara question.

 		Thanks for the help jen i got it. I tried that answer before but I was adding "make a" or construct a" before the word so it didn't accept it.

Adventurik- nah they won't accept tetrahedron. I tried it more than a few times.

 		Question 16
Question 16 is up. Mine has what looks like a scrambled phrase
SFMINEGELRL

The picture above it shows 4 senses, then the category "extrapolation"

I came up with "smell finger" but that's not correct.

 		Question 16
My question 16 reads TABRASINTE. I tried taste brain and variations, but no luck. I shall continue to ponder, but any hints are appreciated.

Just wondering....is "taste" missing from the little picture? "Smell" is missing from mine. (I tried "smell" and it didn't work. Neither did "nose".)

 		I got STQASUTAED with the sense of 'taste' missing from my picture. If I take out 'TASTE' from my word, I am left with 'SQUAD'.

That works. Only took me 3 tries.
