    No, it doesn't use any special base.

    Two riddles from JBL for 100 minerals and a power up each.

    1- In which case, beside leetspeak does A = 4?

    2- Which number(s) between 0 and 10 are palindromes, and when/why are they palindromes?

    Good luck, these aren't "googleable" since I made them by myself.

    since you made it up, it's gonna be pretty difficult because we don't know what you have in mind.

    but here are some "correct" answers

    1) in the equation A+1=5 :p
    2) all single digits from 0-9 are numeric palindromes, the roman numeral 1(I) 2(II) 3(III) 5(V) and 10(X) are also palindromes.

    Hmm yeah I should add some specification.. because giving an equation like that one isn't what I'm looking for..

    However for the palindrome one.. I was excluding the fact that a single number or letter alone is always a palindrome.. so I should have used a different range.. however the roman numbers are a very good possibilitity and it's pretty close to what I had in mind when I made it..

    I'll give u 100 minerals and a power up but I'm open to more answers for this one..

    to those who wants to answer again:

    don't tell me they are palindromes because they are single digits.. that's not that I want..

    0+0=0
    1+1=2
    2+2=4
    3+3=6
    4+4=8
    5+5=10+01=11
    6+6=12+21=33
    7+7=14+41=55
    8+8=16+61=77
    9+9=18+81=99
    10+01=11

    all of them. 196 is the only non anyways


    A=4 when B=3 and C=5, in a right triangle

    WOW now I realise that my questions are really too vague..

    forget the one about the letters.. I'll never get the answer that i'm looking for..

    about the palindrome.. there's no mathematical operations involved.. only use the numbers.. nothing else.

    The numbers that are palindrome are
    in binary

    0 = 0
    1 = 1
    3 = 11
    5 = 101
    7 = 111
    9 = 1001

    these are palindromes

    2 = 10
    4 = 100
    6 = 110
    8 = 100
    10 = 1010

    none of these are palindromes

    bloody hell, how were we to know it was binary, could have just as well been base 3

    *1 = 1*
    *2 = 2*
    3 = 10
    *4 = 11*
    5 = 12
    6 = 20
    7 = 21
    *8 = 22*
    9 = 100
    *10 = 101*



    so anyways, for 100 minerals

    "Come into my parlor."

    My Quote for 1 power up State the Character and the exact game tittle... okey {NO GOOGLE}

    ""From the shards of tattered dreams I rose, unwilling. Tossed upon tides of pain that flowed and ebbed and left me searingly awake, and more revoltingly.......... alive......"

    Now witness my spam avoiding skills!1

    My unsolved riddle from part 3, worth 50 minerals

    Building things is so much fun,
    Taking it apart has even more to come.
    I'm very similar to something that means
    Part of a bunch, mostly teams.
