Harmonica Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Level 4 ..... again answers only, no explanations, please! 1. How far can a dog run into a forest? 2. what 11-letter word means, "blithe lack of concern" .... ? 3. What word having a ' v ' in the 2nd position of its spelling structure, means the following "vanishing or fading" ..... ? 4. You are on your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made. Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make believe, there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake. How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma's with exactly 2 cakes? -------- end of Level 4 ------- Level 5: What are the next three numbers in this series? DD=2.5 out of 4 max. 0, 0, 4, 18, 48, 100, 180, 294, 448, ?, ?, ?, ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonica Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 DD means "degree of difficulty" -- I should have put that in brackets as it is not part of the question. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma's with exactly 2 cakes? Leave home with only 2 cakes. Sorry for the trolls though... I afraid they might stay hungry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonica Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 To get those who've answered thinking again, I'd like to point out that "evaporating" for #3 is not correct. so let me elucidate -- tending to vanish or fade OR "tending to vanish like vapor" which would seem to indicate "evaporating" as the correct answer, but it is not. OR Liable to vanish or pass away like vapor; fleeting. it seems to me that the word would imply "as one reaches for or towards" .... then comes the fading, or vanishing etc. -- there is however another definition; "scarcely perceptible" -- but it is the former that I am after, not the latter. OK? Carry on, amigos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
