Let's start with a logic puzzle! Which square fits in the last grid?
Here's a more tricky version of this puzzle, can anyone figure it out? 💡
@DarkWolf
Husband thinks it is 1826 as it is the only one that appears in a 24 hour clock.
@lazyKatz Couldn't post my reply for some reason... , see screenshot.
@cloudySummer
Yes! I see that now, so strange can look at the same thing and see completely different things.🙀
@cloudySummer
If you want I can report it for you, is it still a problem?
@DarkWolf Haven't tried posting an identical reply, but I can do that again...
@DarkWolf - yes that sentence I screenshotted seems blocked by some force of 7Cups, censor or other...
@cloudySummer
Some combination of words can also be censored because they might be ''unhelpful'' when used in a slightly different context. But censoring things can easily lead to helpful messages being censored too, because in language there's so many possibilities. If you think your message is actually not breaking any rules, it can help to just re-write the message and it will likely let it through.
@DarkWolf Yes, of course, I know. Would be easier if they told us what it was that is causing the problem. Sometimes, I've spent 10 minutes rephrasing until I finally found the thing that was the reason.
I don't think frustrating people is the purpose, so I do screenshots now. Let them censor away whatever they believe make sense... I don't have enough time to play this game.
@DarkWolf I'd call it a flock. But there's no option for it, so 🙈 ...
How many squares can you count in the image below?
@DarkWolf I count 36
Oh, correction. 40.
@DarkWolf
39 squares
@DarkWolf
The answer will require an odd number because the whole block is a square.
I theorize:
16+4+8+2+4+6+1 = 41
you have the 4 squares by 4 = 16
you have the 2 squares by 2 = 8
3 square by 3 = 6
middle section
1 + 1 = 2
the four singles in each group = 8
@DarkWolf
I didn't count correctly. It's is 40, but if you consider the word "Square" to be a Square as well.. then it's 41 :D
@BrightIndigo
could be potential 46 in hind sight of my post
@DarkWolf
This is definitely proving to cause lots of interest
@lazyKatz
That it has ;)
Husband thinks it is 34 and I thought 31
@lazyKatz @cloudySummer @BrightIndigo @Barltik2065
Thank you all for your participation, the correct answer is indeed 40!
If you didn't get them all, this might be a good image to visualize the answer.
@DarkWolf
Ahhhh I see where I went wrong it was with what is counted as 4 which cancels the "odd" with number 1. Two odds equals and even.
Cool!!! Love it!
@DarkWolf It's not a complicated answer, so maybe not the 'right' one - but F doesn't have any dark dots in the rear of the 'boat body'. So that is an option.
@cloudySummer
F is the right answer! 👌 Because:
A is the same as D
B is the same as E
C is the same as G
@DarkWolf
Cattle
Scathe
Locate
Muscat
Making xyz = cat
@lazyKatz meow!
@DarkWolf
Maybe TAP as it's the only word that can be spelt backwards and make sense
@lazyKatz
Tap is the correct answer 💡
But can someone find out why it is? Hint: there's a way to match shorter words to the longer ones.
@DarkWolf Now that you say that... letters 2,5 and 7 in the long words seem to create the short words. Haven't tested it with all of them, though.
