gived mushrooms togeather is 8+12+5+20=45

in the end all got 10

Chronus[8]

EXPLANATION! lol! :D

in the beginning I wanted to start to use a crazy math formulas with many x,y,z and etc. but then I look on numbers and that didn't look so hard how in beggining that would seems :lol:
in the beginning I just give to all about 10 in beggining
Penz 10+2=12
Eng 10-2=8
Low 10*2=20
Mil 10/2=5
and then all the following was easy!!! :lol:

just look about the middel number about what should be to each in the end to the number of mushrooms would be equal and + count in left 5 what i didn't when give to all about 10.
This task even did't need a nessesary to use some crazy math formuls :D

thats my crazy non science explanation! :))


damn..need to read more querrafully!!! :D
to Low Power *1 not *2
right one=>
7 to Pennzoild = 7+2=9
11 to Enlightened = 11-2=9
9 to Low Power = 9*1=9
18 to Milady Winter = 18/2=9

7+11+9+18=45
9 mushrooms to each of them
My comments: the last one answer is not right (you had sent 3 letters and as I had said I will accept time of the last of it)

Name of the character: delidumrul
Text of the answer: Tsatidis has 45

Pennzoil = a           (Pennzoi has a piece of mushroom)
Enlightened =b     (Enlightened has b piece of mushroom)
Low Power=c        (Low Power has c piece of mushroom)
Milady Wİnter=d  (Milady Winter has d piece of mushroom)

That means a+b+c+d=45

When they returnt to home;

Pennzoil has= a+2
Enlightened has=b-2
Low Power has= 2*c
Milady Winter has=d/2 and if they have same piece of mushroom that
means;
a+2=b-2=2*c=d/2

b=a+4
c=(a+2)/2
d=(a+2)*2

if we write these to the first equation;      
a+(a+4)+(a+2)/2+(a+2)*2=45
and 9a=72 and a=8

b=a+4 =>b=12
c=(a+2)/2 => c=5
d=(a+2)*2 => d=20

as a conclusion; a=8, b=12, c=5, d=20 and that means Pennzoil (a)
received 8
, Enlightened(b) recevied 12, Low Power(c)  received 5 and Milady Winter

received 20 mushrooms from Tsatidis.When they came to home every paladin
had
10 mushroom [a+2 = b-2 = 2*c=d/2)
My comments: answer is right with nice explanation given, but Last Samurai was first.

Name of the character: Theseus
Text of the answer: Character name: Theseus. I just want to see if right answer.. i solved it in 5 minutes :D


Mathematical ecuation with 4 unknowns: Penz - p, Enlighted - e, LowPower - l, Milady - m (this are number of mushrom each got from Tsatidis).

From what we read we do this ecuation:
p+2 = e-2 = 2*l =m/2
and p+e+l+m = 45

p+2 = e - 2 => p = e-4
e-2 = 2*l => l = (e-2)/2
m = 2*(e-2)

remplacing all this "p" "l" and "m" in first ecution => 9*e = 108 (I omitid ecuation with 1 unknown only) => e =12 => p = 8 => l = 5 => m = 20

Name of the character: Bandit m
Text of the answer: Pennzoil             got 4 found 2 =6
Enlightened        got 16 lost 2 = 14
Low Power         got 15 found 15 =30
Milady Winter     got 10 lost 5 =5
Totals                    45            55
Each person gets 11 mushrooms
My comments: answer is wrong with no explanation given. You had sent 13 letters and as I had said I will accept time of the last of it

So, the winner is Last Samurai. He gave right answer first and he also read my instructions very intently and gave me the explanation, as it was needed :idea: He will receive his jackpot then, when his chaos will be passed.
Last Samurai, 10 credits are waiting for you!!!

Good done - well done!

Character can recieve items/credits while chaos punishment.

10.00 CR. transferred successfully to Last Samurai

Blondiines answer would be correct with such a mathematicalexplanition.
After they came back they all had equal ammount of mushrooms
AoM-X
So at the beginnings ;)
Low power got X/2 Pennzoil X-2 Enlightened X+2 Milady 2X ;)
So in total it would be:
(X+2)+(X-2) 2-2=0 Means X+X+X/2+2X=45
So it causes that 4.5X=45
So X is equal to 10 ;)))
And from that we can figure out ammount of mushrooms for every player i used very single method but wasn't willing to participate this time ;)

=)

Dear players, text of the 3rd contest will be published on Tuesday - July, the 31st, 22:00 server time. I will be waiting for you...

Sincerelly Yours,
Milady Winter :snegur:

As I had promised before, here is the new one contest!

If you think that:
-smart enough and if you feel that you are on friendly terms with mathematics
-you want to earn some money
-you just want to have some fun
-you want to check your mathematical potential
then you are welcome to participate.

The only thing you need to do is to read the task very intently, to find the answer and to send it to the next e-mail: MiladyWinter@hot.ee In your e-mails, please, give the name of your character too - it is very important! You need to write right answer and to show the way, you had figured it out -> I want to see your explanations. Letters with attached files won`t be taken into account.
Please, do not post your answers to the forum - after the deadline (August, the 3rd, 22:00 server time) all answers will be posted by paladin to the forum and all people will get to know the right answer and the name of the winner.
This time there will be only one right answer and the winner will be this person, whose letter will be first..But there should be right answer with explanation.

P.S. This time the winner will have pretty nice jackpot!

Here is the task:

It was big trade fair on the Cenral Square and it was able to buy everything there – everything your soul wanted to have. Ellara and Milady Winter were selling apples near the Creator`s Statue…Ellara was selling 2 apples for 1 credit and Milady Winter`s price was 3 apples for 2 credits. Every one of them had 30 apples in the basket – Ellara wanted to have 15 credits and Milady Winter – 20 credits. In sum they should have 35 credits for their apples. It was very hot day and they decided to sell they apples together, because it would fasten the process of trade and their would be able to walk around the trade fair and to have fun for a bit…When they had decided to sell their apples together, they thought: “If I am selling 2 apples for 1 credit and you are selling 3 apples for 2 credits, then we should sell 5 apples for 3 credits to have our money.”
And they started to sell their apples (60 in the sum) – 5 apples for 3 credits. When they had sold all their apples they were surprised a lot! They had discovered that they had 36 credits for their apples – there was 1 extra credit! (1. question)And they started to though – whose this 1 credit belonged to and how should they divide money into parts?
How it could happened to them?
While they had investigated this situation, two other sellers decided to get richer too: every one of them had also 30 apples, but they were selling their apples in different way: 1st of them gave for 1 credit 2 apples and the 2nd gave 3 apples for 1 credit. 1st of them should have 15 credits and the 2nd – 10 credits; all together they should have 25 credits. And they started to sell their apples like Ellara with Milady Winter did – “If I am selling 2 apples for 1 credit and you are selling 3 apples for 1 credit, then we should sell 5 apples for 2 credits to have our money.”
And they started to sell their apples (60 in the sum) – 5 apples for 2 credits….and they had discovered at the end that they had only 24 credits in the sum and that they had lost 1 credit in the process of trading!
(2nd question)And they both started to think too: how it could be happened  and who of them had lost this 1 credit?

Good luck, brave heart!

Sincerelly Yours,
Milady Winter :snegur:
