NEW EVENT!
#3

WCRBE = WildCrazyRandomBattleEvent


REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN. SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, BUT HAD DOUBTS BEFORE... WELL... HOPE THIS CLEARS IT OUT.

1) ok there is actually NO TIME LIMIT for the fights! this solves the problem of time zones.

2) The ones whose name is in red will be the one who will send the "invite"/challenge to their paired player.

3) For the first round... the pairings are based on time zones and levels. So this means that there won't be disqualifications.

4) for the semi-final round...
the winners will PM or MSN the other player and agree on a date & time of their fight.

5) The same goes for the Final round... HOWEVER if one of the player didn't show up on the agreed date for 3 times... it'll result for a disqulification... again, THIS IS ONLY FOR THE FINAL ROUND.

6) As for the Bonus round... well just PM me for it.



7) defeated players will still have a chance to fight the others, who also didn't had the luck to win... so they have a chance to regain more exp! ^^

Open Clan question number 5 (word problems):

Question: How many kg of corn that cost $40 per kg must be mixed with 10 kg of peanut that cost $80 per kg ...etc

Answer:

Simple, set up the knowns

1kg© = 40$
1kg(p)=80$

Funtion

55$ = (40x) + (80y)
iff:: x+y = 1.0

iff x=.625kg and y=.375kg
then
40(.625) + 80(.375) = 55$

so .625kg of corn and .375kg of peanuts

MIND BOGGLERS

numbers 4 and five---clan questions

4) A book
It speaks through words as we read it and speak in our head
Books have a variety of subjects
pages are also called leaves on a book
books have spines and open like a hinge
and once you finish, you can't get anything new from a book

5) The moon
Round, although not always percieved as such
pale and shines in the night
in darkness, the light of the moon shines and expands
it is lady-like, at least when pale skin (england circa 1550-1800 for example) was considered beautiful and graceful
luna, latin for moon, is feminine, and ikewise in english, is seen as a feminine object

open clan, number 2

1) Trick question
traffic was equally heavy, one hour and one half is eqivalent to 90 minutes

with traffic equally heavy both ways, both times were the same, but expressed in different notation

therefore, it took 90min there and back, or one and one half hour there and back

same time, same situation both ways

RIDDLES
clan question---number 3

A painting/portrait

the person has eyes, ears and a mouth (as all portraits have), but cannot hear, smell, etc

if painted old, they will remain old, if they are painted young, youth for eternity




SORRY I answerd so many, but if my mind can do the work, and I need the money, watch out.

some riddles/questions seem skewed tho, like the 10 cents and 15 cents, what time is it one

you meant to do only one question from each section

whhooooooWWWWW!!!!! 0_0!!!! dude!

LOL!

relax!



and yeah,

it's only one answer per post. (i'll be considering this for now)


(but this one i cannot) ---> two answers in one section...
you should only answer one question in one section... so sorry, i won't give you all the rewards in your answers.
I'll be just choosing the ones that is more profitable to you and give you the reward for that one...





now for the checking:





open clan question 5 correct.

earned = 50 Z






mind bogglers


4 correct! and nice reasoning!!!

earned 50 Z


5 wrong... sorry it's not moon...



the traffic question is also correct but since its in the same section...
i won't be giving you the prize for this one... sorry... ><

(anyways its just 10 Z and you earned more on question no. 4)




RIddles


correct!


earned 50 Z



prize = sent!





please next time one answer per post, and answer once in a section so that others will have a chance.


btw, I like the way you answer the questions!

I apologize for my ignorance of the rules... I must have missed that condition.

thank you for the zeni which is important for my work in the RPG and the clan

I won't make those mistakes again.

thanks again, and I'm glad you liked my (somewhat) skewed and elaborate logic
