Don't worry, this isn't horrendously unfair like the Bacon Game...

Rules

It's simple enough, just work out the answers to the questions I set. If you get it right, you win a point, and more importantly bragging rights. I plan on making these difficult, but no question is unfair. The solutions will never be overly complicated, all that is required of you is lateral and creative thinking. : )

You can guess however many times you'd like, just make sure your posts comply with the forum rules!

If nobody answers the question within three days, I'll set a new question. All past questions and solutions will be posted in hide tags.

One last thing: Do not randomly guess! Back up your answers with reasoning.

Current question,

Question 7: Skittles!

Past Solutions

Question 1

Afro-G said:
I'm guessing Juniper=18 because the way I see it is Consonants=3 and Vowels=2. Add them together in the word "Juniper" and get 18.

Question 2

Zyflair said:
9 total - three yellow, three red, two blue, one purple.

The column of red moves over in each consecutive picture, but the reds merge with the yellow and blue, except for the last picture, where the red no longer is with the yellow.

Question 3

syneptus said:
1, since there is only 1 block in that shape.

Each shape had a number equal to the number of identical shapes that appeared in the grid...

Question 4

Zero said:
It is 4. You count the number of arcs and lines touching the figure that touches the numbers...

Question 5

oyeah1988 said:
First ?? is 40 ( 5+3+13+19)
Second is 48 ( 5+7+19+17)
Last is 60 ( 17+19+11+13)
Add the numbers on the corners of the squares!

Question 6

Zero said:
Well the mid has to be blue. That adds up to 9 blue on all sides so it isn't B, D, or E. There are only 2 white corners, so there have to be two white corner pieces. Therefore, it must be A.

Remember, a guess on its own is nothing, post your reasoning! Even if you get it right, I won't accept an answer unless there's an explanation to go with it.

/me guesses 19.

There is a pattern of subtracting one, and then adding 6. 13+6=19

Edit: trololol I can't count. Or read for that matter. 7-1=/8 >.<
 
I think Juniper is 27 because it is 14 times 2 minus 1. I think that follows whatever pattern there is.
 
My guess is 7.

Between the numbers the change is +1, +6, -1. The next one is -6.

dmaster out.

Correct! Afro-G gets one point. JUNIPER is equal to 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 18

Stay tuned for question 2!
 
Wow so many different methods of finding the answer. I'm never going to get a question right.
 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

OAK = 7
ELM = 8
BIRCH = 14
ROWAN = 13

O = 15
A = 1
K = 11

1+5-1+1+1 = 7

E = 5
L = 12
M = 13

5-1+2-1+3 = 8

B = 2
I = 9
R = 18
C = 3
H = 8

2-9+1-8+3-8 = -19 ... nope, no pattern at all...

R = 18
O = 15
W = 23
A = 1
N = 14

1+8-1+5-2+3-1+1-4 = 10 still no pattern...

J 10
U 21
N 14
I 9
P 16
E 5
R 18

LOL what is this? I spent 25 minutes on it...

This might happen occasionally, but as a general rule: I will never design a question to have an overly convoluted answer. Look for simplicity.
 
^Good way to waste time when it was WAY easier than whatever that is... o.o

Edit: Ninja'd!
 
Question 2

24m59nm.png


How many Red, Yellow, Orange and Purple blocks will appear in the final panel?
 
Zyflair should have gotten it...

3 Yellow
3 Red
2 Blue
1 Purple

Because the red column is moving over to the right one mark each panel...
The overlaps in color result in a proper color palette colors. e.g. blue + red = purple, red + yellow = orange.
