I sent him this one recently, similar to the send more money problem. CROSS [u] ROADS[/u] + DANGER S = 3, All letters different values All numbers 1 to 9 used, no zero ID: 803032 ·

But I'll let Luke sort that out. ID: 803037 ·

So I think we should let him have at least one for this problem as he did solve it first. As copied from PM: Hi Luke, On same theme, CROSS ROADS+ DANGER S=3, each letter different, all numbers 1 to 9 used. Andy Hey Andy, heh heh.... here's your answer... 96233 62513 158746 Thanks for that, I just got up now, always nice to wake up to something unexpected, it cheers me up! May I use it in the thread? I'd give the credit to you of course... Cheers, Luke. ID: 803390 ·

Me?! + 1 Point?! No Way... I don't deserve it! ;) Here's another question: Q30 (1 point) : The front wheels of a wagon measure 3.5 feet in diameter. The real wheels measure 4.25 feet in diameter. While the wagon is stopped somebody makes a chalk mark on both a front and rear wheel. How far must the wagon travel before both chalks marks return to their initial position at the same time?

Luke. oops, just saw JDWhale beat me to it, 59.5 * Pi feet. 17 turns of smaller wheel, 14 turns of larger one. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... ID: 805282 ·
