I did not say that it was a simple "multiply first by two and get the second", that would be too obvious... Some are fairly close, and others are long way off. Numbers discounted so far, in no particular order: 82, 14, 86, 718, 100. A hint, both are two digit numbers.

In third place we have 82 from Chris S In second Place we have 86 from Chris S (Carlos falls here because 86 had already been presented by Chris S) And the winner, but only just, is 100 from James Sohterden The correct answer is 46 and 94 The relationship being 94 = (2 x 46) + 2 So James, have fun.

How many roads do I have to take before I pull into my companys parking lot. clue #1, Its 23 miles one way. I think two guesses each will do for this. [/quote] Old James ID: 1148599 ·
