Hi bobby
I actually do the opposite for the 13 game (I always try to give the simplest answer).
About the number splitting thing, I believe a master Jedi such as Yoda ;-) would have made,
at the very least, a great Sumurai.

[A million and one things. Will be somewhat "rare" these days]
24466
2*4 + 4 + 6/6=13
24440
24414
2+ 4*4 -1 - 4 =13
I would add that the puzzle actually has some similarities with Mean Sumurai. And I could see also on the "Add 13" thread that bobbym was splitting numbers long before I joined the forum.
So, bobbym, if you have an Android, there is a new Mode Arena that you could like. I would like to see how you fare against games that I (or Jess Chua, a player that may be better than me at my own game) solved and uploaded.
well, I just did. Funny stuff. Great headache material :-D.
(English is actually my third language, so the pain was possibly greater than "intended").
I see your point now about having seen "less understandable" puzzles.
Note that I sometimes do this kind of things too (making all sorts of factual but
arguably pointless connections between this and that) but that puzzle is a masterpiece.
Hi stefy
I read all the thread (except the hidden parts). Some bits were quite funny :-d
My take:
1) This chain is not really for puzzles that seem so hard :-) so when I said, "any puzzle will do", it should not be believed
2) The warning message accompanying the puzzle is just too convincing. I'm already late for too many things and I don't
really feel like coding to solve the puzzle [I have saved the pdf though. I may try to do it manually some day]
any puzzle will do, bobbym. The initial version, your version, or a version themed around a mathematician/scientist you admire, etc.
The cool thing with the themed version is that it gives an additional tiny bit of mathematics culture/trivia to the people who try to solve it.
The less cool thing is that it requires more time to build, compared to the simpler puzzles.

well done, anonimnystefy.
(You give me more work though because I have to build another puzzle to make up for the one you didn't provide :-P)

Answer to previous
Pascal-themed puzzle
My numbers are between 1 and 99
Glued together, they give 919236295
To get the sum of my numbers, you have to get a list of the first prime numbers
and retrieve the position occupied by the prime number obtained by dividing Pascal birthyear by 3.
(phew, I'm not even sure this is understandable :-D)
Constraints/Hints
#1 One of my numbers is the monthday of Pascal's birth and death
You're right anonimnystefy
but what he did is a cool variant. I enjoyed solving it.
If there is no other answer, I will add my own puzzle later today.
24336
2*4 -(3/3) + 6 = 13
24310
2+4-(3-10) = 13
24284
(2/4)*2 + 8 + 4 = 13
Answer to previous: 2 3 93 1 89 7
