Infamous Joe is you.
someone sticky this thread?
How many straight lines are there in the number of the position in the alphabet that is the sixth letter of the number spelled out by the answer to the following maths problem: 2+4*5?
Problem solution = 22= twenty two
6th letter= y
Y is the 25th letter in the alphabet
3 straight lines in 25.
Answer= 3
alternately I added 2+4 then * 5... end result i also got 3 school was a long time ago... did I actually get the math bit wrong? thirty instead of twenty two? or was this a tnt trick?
Yeah the maths didn't actually matter which meant it was a bit odd having a question like they did. You apply the rule of BoDMAS(Brackets, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) for the order of things without brackets, so you should have done 4*5 is 20, plus 2 is 22. But either way, twentytwo and thirtytwo both have 'y' as the 6th letter.
I actually didn't even understand the question properly. I assumed they meant find the 6th letter for 2+4*5=22 so i thought it was Y in the twenty-two and Y has 3 straight lines so I put 3 and it turns out that was the correct answer lol

THIS WEEKS PUZZLE - Ends: Probably on Wednesday afternoon
A Neopian biologist was studying the footprints left by different Neopet species. There were so many different types of prints though! Some had no toe prints, like the Aisha and the Ixi, a surprising number had six, like the Elephante, and some had a whopping twelve toe prints, like the Bori! It was quite interesting to ponder. So she wondered...
If you added up the toes for each type of standard Neopet species, how many toes total would that be?
Please respond with ONLY the number and NO words (like "toes" for example) for your answer to qualify.
Code:404 Not Found.
No promises on this one since it's quite subjective as to what counts as a 'toe'.
But by my count, there are 238
