Face it, this type of puzzle just isn't for all. You need a special kind of aerial to pick up the clues too. And, no, it wasn't googled.

 

[Speicher]

Yello, are you looking at the font of all knowledge?

Weren't there enough clues.

He works as a Courrier

I was typing a long document

Facing this type of puzzle?

His favourite Chinese Restaurant is Wingdings

I am trying to type, face it, it's a long document

 

[Speicher]

Well you might be on the right track on the face of it.
How good is your typing?

Oh dear

 

[Mr Pig]

I have a puzzle for you. Fill in the blanks:

F*** off! :0)

 

[ColinJ]

Oh dear

Okay, now it's your turn !

(I remember solving this one at school. There was a teacher shortage due to a 'flu outbreak so were given this problem to solve to keep us busy. I won the 6d prize. Yes, it was a long time ago...)

CROSS + ROADS = DANGER

Each instance of a given letter stands for the same single digit, no more than one letter represents the same digit.

 

[Speicher]

Yes, well umm

A giant clue, was there not, so the answer is:

96233 plus 62513 equals 158746

 

[ColinJ]

96233 plus 62513 equals 158746

Hmmm, perhaps I shouldn't have given you the clue straight off !

I solved the problem over 40 years ago but if you'd asked me for the solution I wouldn't have been able to give it to you without solving it again from first priciples. Having said that, I remember the answer now that you've shown it to me - funny thing the human memory.

 

[Arch]

Oh dear, I can't even see the clue...

 

[Speicher]

Oh dear, I can't even see the clue...

Have you read the thread from the start, can you see those clues?

 

[Arch]

Oh yes, I got that eventually, after your first clue I think. I can't see the clue in the maths one....

I think I would still have got there without the clue.

c cannot be 0
r must be an even number
d must be 1
s cannot be 0 or 5
a cannot be 0

s plus r must be more than 11

once you notice the giant clue,
you realise the value of S
that's my two pence worth anyway, please

I get the ones that can't be zero, but I still can't see a giant clue!

Should I really be doing a PhD involving stats? (well, I would be, if I wasn't sitting here online...)

<vague idea that it involves money>

I don't remember predecimal no, although I was born in '69, I don't remember anything much before '73-74....
