Brainteaser/Puzzle Corner (Part 5)

Just because you cannot figure it out deosn't mean the grammar is wrong, I have reviewed it and solved it like 5 times.

9+3(6) is not 28, reread the problem.

 

I got 56/85 of phase prism.

 

Nope

 

Now that's just weird cause I got 18/17 of phase prism
After fixing a mistake I found in my calculations, I guess it didn't say they DO fit

 

They do fit, and it doesn't matter if I say it or not, the answer is wrong anyways :thumbup:

 

aww c'mon, that's not fair T_T it made PERFECT sense in my calculations

 

Then use your calculations to check if each step in the riddle is correct according to them.

 

9/13?

 

Yes sir. Didn't expect anyone would get it so quickly.

Next one will be much much harder, I guarantee you.

 

I blame Immortals, they're just too big

 

Hey who are you calling a nerd  ? That problem was fun but if you spend enough times doing math story problems out of algrebra and calculus books its easy to pick out equations and this one was 4 variables and 4 equations which witht he right calculator it can be done in about 30 secs.

Either way nice riddle and tell you what since i enjoyed that riddle and hope you do another good one ill add my 200 mineral winnings and 100 of my own to the pot of your next riddle.

 

HOW TO SOLVE:

Immortals - M
Stalkers - S
Zealots - Z
Probes- Z/2
Phase Prism- X

_I_) 3M+Z/2=X

_II_) M+3S=X

_III_) 2S+3Z+Z/2=X

_________________________________________________

("II") M+3S=X (.-3)
("IV") -3M-9S=-3X

+3M+Z/2=X ---"!"
----------
"I"+ "IV"= -9S+Z/2=-2X

Then you have S and Z in that equation and S and Z in the third equation. By solving those two linear sistems you will find that Z= 2x/13 and that S =3x/13.

On the 1st equation you substitute and find M=4x/13

Which sums up to 9x/13

 

and you'll solve it?
I didn't call you anything.
Dammit, I know it's four equations, I just didn't do math for over a year, you'd die just looking at mistakes I made there

The above refers to LordKerwyn's post

 

Sorry for the second double post ¬¬

Okay LordKerwyn, next riddle will total up 500 minerals
I'm going to make it extra extra hard this one (not math-wise, but logic-wise).

What grade are you in?

 

The nerd piece was directed at Z-boson and while I will try and solve it ill PM my answer to boson to see if i got so someone else can actually have the pot.

 

hey cool man thanks

 

What is [hl] and why is Phase Prism = Z/2?

 

Someone edited my post, I remember putting Phase prism as X.

Oh well, I put hl instead of hr.

 

I belive it's supposed to be Probe = Z/2

 

you guys are smart
