100 seconds? That can't be right - it's too straightforward.

[billl]

Yep, that's right. Too straight-forward. (That is, 100 seconds is not the correct answer.)

[prendrelemick]

80 seconds. he breaks up one of the sections to join the five others.

[billl]

That's it, Mick. (I'd seen this one in a couple books previously)

[prendrelemick]

Oh gawd!


Right, time to scrape the bottom of a really old barrel.


How can 4 be half of 5.

[jajdude]

Reckon it has nothing to do with Roman numerals?

[billl]

Nice work, jajdude. I toyed with Roman numerals for a couple seconds, but not long enough for it to hit me.

[prendrelemick]

An iron clad ivy league question this!

[billl]

I really wish I could do something with 150 A.D.

[MarkBastable]

Wait, wait, wait - where are we now? Jajude thinks he might know. Bill assumes jajude knows. Mick is giving clues that imply jajude's right. Bill's working on variations around the same theme. With all those clues, anyone with a few minutes could work it out, one assumes.

Can we just kill this one - someone give the answer, accept a smattering of applause - and move on?

[prendrelemick]

I really wish I could do something with 150 A.D.

OK, forget the cladding.


Good grief Iv'e got the feeling Jajdude was being iron ic.

Your turn jajdude.

I've got one I found tough, required some playing with digits 0 to 9, though two of them are not used. Will need some paper for this one I reckon.

Replace each different letter with a different digit to make

SEND + MORE = MONEY
