--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (Round 117). We have given you a Deluxe Chia Cake, an Avatar, and 1613 NP!

My answer was:

7 (shops in Brighvale) x 21 (chia fruit colours) x 120 (TCG cards) x 1 (the prime number/sqaure thing)

= 17640

I had only counted 20 chia fruit colours, since I missed Durian. So sad ... Oh well ... now back to the brain dead LC's, most likely.

The most difficult part of this problem was the prime number problem, which was actually fairly easy if you knew how to do the math. Looking for the prime numbers, you needed (x^2-1) to be a prime number. However, that is a difference of squares, which factors to x+1 and x-1. Thus, for the number to be prime, one of the factors needs to be 1. Thus, the other one is 3 and leaves you with only 1 prime less than a square number.

The new one is up!

If you take the next two numbers in this sequence and multiply them together, what number will you get?

594, 487, 566, 493, 310, 447, ____, ____

What is the answer?

Edit: Nevermind. Was a little late.

Been brainstorming and trying out random ways to find a pattern. Nothing so far.

I got it. It's not a math problem. It has to do with numbers found elsewhere on the site.

I got it though I had to use a compass to do it.

O_O You did?

I was just stupid about this problem. I was racking my brain to find the answer, then realized what it was when I checked my NeoMail and did some quick maths.
