Dear so-and-so,

Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (round 164). You have won 746 NP!

Yours Sincerely,
The Neopets Team!


The pieces, when layered, asked the question "What is the name of the First to Rise?" and the answer, of course, is Siyana!

I didn't save it, but the way I did it was to copy the image into paint and then save it as a 16-color bit map. This made it so that the insides of the crystals were pure white. Then it wass just a simple matter of overlapping the four crystals, making sure to flip the two that had the incorrect orientation. While the message started out clear, at the end it got fairly scrambled, so I pretty much just had to infer what it said.

[EDIT] I went ahead an quickly made up something close to what mine eventually looked like:

Third first-250! :)

Optimally, you'd want to rotate a little bit too... With photoshop:

EDIT:

...and, new one up:

Quote:
In the Virtupets Space Station, there are two water tanks providing water to the station: a primary water tank, which is a sphere with a 4.5 metre radius, and a much larger backup water tank. During the busy Space Station tourist season, the primary water tank became empty. Dr. Sloth ordered his Grundos to carry bucketfuls of water from the larger backup water tank to the primary water tank.

Image

Dr. Sloth ordered his Grundos to fill the tank so that the water is exactly 6.5 metres deep at the center. If one bucket of water holds exactly 10 litres, how many bucketfuls of water are required to fill the tank to the required depth? Round up to the nearest whole number.


[edit 2] Oh dear, more calculus.... (This morning was the AP Calculus BC exam >.<)

When did this come up?

Edit: Sorry, I've been in a muddle as well from finals all this week.

You do need calc for this :oops:

(this didnt require any calculus, just pythagoreas theorem and area of a sphere/hemisphere)

But yes, calculus can be used to solve this.


I noticed it at 9:30 PM EST (18:30 NST).

Eh, maybe I'm just in a calc rut, but I can't think of how... :p

Another significant figures guessing game, hoping you choose to use the same number of decimal places during the calculation as Neopets does. Annoying.

Finally a math problem that can't be solved used 8th grade math. :P . I know not everyone likes the math ones... but we havn't had a really fun one like this in a long time. :hug:

And yeah... you need calc for this one o_0. How else would you find the area of the little cup shaped area that doesn't get filled up. THat parts NOT a hemi-sphere you know. It has base radius of sqrt(4.5^2 - 2^2) = 4.03 and hight of only 4.5 - 2 = 2.5 :(

So not easy. i had to model this one using 3DSmax, and i didn't get exact figures. i think my answer was off by like 5 points, because of my bad rounding

Ahhh, but that's why you memorize pi to 10 decimal places....
