Mathematical Crossword Puzzle.

04/24/2008 12:19 PM

A few years ago I 'lost' a week - solving this. I'll post the answers, if needed, after 1 week.

Twin primes : Prime numbers differing by 2.

Mersenne Prime : 2n – 1 where n is prime.

Triangular numbers : n(n + 1)/2 where n is ordinal.

Pythagorean triples : set of 3 whole numbers, with no common factor, forming the sides of a right-angled triangle.

Sequence : each number after the second is the sum of the previous two, starting with 2,7,9,16.......

No entry begins with '0'. Squares, cubes and higher powers are always

Editorial Note: Questions Revised 04/25/08 at 2:20 PM

If we all get stuck into this do you realise how much paid hours of work are going to be lost???

Even if only 10 of us attempted this that's 10 weeks of lost productivity!!!

Oh hell well it does look rather interesting so maybe I will just have a quick.........

Does the name "Humphrey Littleton" mean anything to you?

Apart from being a very accomplished jazz musician, he presented a "quiz" program on BBC Radio 4 entitled "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue (the antidote to comedy shows)".

Very, very, funny. Lasted about 40 years (can't remember exactly how many). He lasted 86 years, & sadly passed away the other day (Friday, I think).

They repeated a classic episode from 1995 today - it had me in stitches.

He will be sorely missed.

O-M-G! In the wrong hands, that's a dangerous weapon. Not certain that vermin actually has hands tho', so maybe will be safe enough. I hope you wait a reasonbly long enough time to publish the solution, say 8 - 10 months...

Can well see how you lost a week.

Please post answers in an "off-topic" reply to yourself, with the subject "Answers" or whatever, so I don't accidentally see any and spoil my month out.

Puzzle Guideline.

04/25/2008 1:38 AM

Thanks John,

I won't post any answers until it appears to be over, and even then, I shall give it a suitable header so as to not spoil it for those continuing.

It's probably a good idea for anyone interested, to print off a copy of the grid, rules, and definitions.

The prize (hee hee hee !) will be awarded to whoever first solves the complete puzzle.

Clarification of number definitions will be given if requested.

Kris

I have one more on my reckoning* of 2-digit triples. I don't think it reduces - send me a PM if you want me to elaborate (special one-off offer of a hint for your early input !).

* Retraction will be duly posted if needed.

Re: Mathematical Crossword Puzzle.

04/25/2008 7:15 AM

Looking back at an old print-out, I have 48:55:73 as a two-digit pythagorean triple.

73 is prime, so the thing doesn't reduce ? I may have missed something (apologies to all if so), but the above figure is not involved in the answer.

Re: Mathematical Crossword Puzzle.

04/25/2008 8:46 AM

RE 48:55:73. The solution must fulfill clues 3a, 3d and 30d, so the first two digits must be the same for two of the answers.

If not, you could also have,

28,45,53

33,56,65

36,77,85

OR 65,72,97

Absolutely correct - I was referring to 2-digit triples in isolation (and missed the extra one you pointed out). Have fun deciding upon the common digit !

Now, count after me......1 paw is paw, 2 paw is......paw-paw. If you make it to double digits you can go to a Japanese restaurant ! The people on the 'daer poeple' thread made me do it.

RE Clue 28 Across

The clue reads..

Triangular number, see 11a

Should this be "see 11d" ?

No 31 across.

Also 5 down should read Ordinal for 24d (not 27d).

Correction !

04/25/2008 1:28 PM

Aghhh ! I'll hang myself in a minute, but before I do....

You are quite correct, I made a typo.

28 Across : A triangular number, see 31 across.

31 Across refers back to 28a, so I hope that didn't mess anyone about too bad.

To make my stupidity worse, I missed a clue !

32 Across : Reverse of 29d.

Soreeee !

Thank you, DesEng.

HOLD ON !

04/25/2008 1:43 PM

With much regret, and more than a little embarassment, I have to say "hold on a second". When I corrected the auto-numbering of clues, some of it went to ****. You'll see the funny side eventually, honest ! Give me a short while and I'll double check and re-list them all to be clear. From 21d it went haywire. I shall meekly ask admin if they can intervene to edit the initial post until I've updated.

With apologies to all,

kris

ps - is Heathrow terminal 5 sorted yet ?

I still haven't had anyone mail me for a solution -I was sooo looking forward to saying "you'll have to wait !" One way to solve it would be to write in random numbers, some of them would probably be correct.

Re: Mathematical Crossword Puzzle.

I hope EnviroMan doesn't open the door to strange dudes wearing sun-glasses...... thought someone ought to know...... just doing my public duty...........I'm sure he can talk his way out of it......Maybe he can say it was something to do with finding the 'Beale treasue' , he can probably re-arrange the constitution to back it up. I know it wasn't a hoax, and if someone advances me the money, I can go dig it up. Honest !

"...and if someone advances me the money..."

If they do, you've found the treasure. If enough, you'll disappear with pleasure. I'd kick in a fiver, but I spent it all on beer. Guess you'll have to settle for a tool I offer here...

By using the Da Vinci Cod, they can all be translated to proper words like "some", and "many".

I note a couple of them can be translated to improper words...

I admit it Kris, I never even tried as I saw the clues and thought.... well thought something along the lines of let someone else do the hard work and then agree with them afterwards...

That's probably the best approach. I must have gone seriously mad the week I did the thing ! The problem was that I filled in a couple of answers, then felt compelled to do the rest. Destroy the thing while you have a chance, else you mind find yourself looking at in one day and wanting to check the numbers.......

You just pulled the trigger too soon. I printed the fool thing out and took it home, but haven't even had a chance to look at any of them yet. I'll save it for a couple of years now, and have a go at it in future once all this is forgotten. Hopefully the over-exuberance of your youth will eventually mellow into patience...

O-M-G...the OTHER "P" word! LOL!!! Either one works for me, my theory: never put off until tomorrow what you can blow off altogether.
