    We need the BCC to blow this "Audited Methodology" bullcrap out of the water.

    I should add that our numerals are themselves derived from Arabic numerals. I am still trying to find a match among the Arabic numbers for that "question mark" but if anyone can find it, that would be splendid! Or maybe I am just being too analytical of it!
    I would be inclined to think along similar lines.
    When I first saw that style of '?' I automatically thought of a 'Right to Left' language.
    I discounted that because I thought they would be aware that linguists would have an advantage which would not be fair.

    My god, it was frustrating to watch, does anybody know how they came up with 1065?

    4x2 +
    2x(3-1) +
    6-5+4+
    Zx3+17-2


    it's crazy that we can rarely work out where the answer came from!!

    also, when JG says that one person was very close with an answer, don't believe that rubbish. the nearest answer to 1065 when he kept saying that last night was 315 (below) and 2592 (above) it! this is clearly a ploy to get people to keep ringing in with nearly similar low answers that always come in such as 90, 95, 96, 98, 99 etc....

    I had a few minutes so I typed one up on just that very topic. It's winging its way to BCC Interweb central as we speak.

    We have a fair idea, but there is unknowns this time.

    And I'd say they are one of the two types of the infamous Rumsfeld unknowns, i.e. known unknowns and/or unknown unknowns!

    The question or questions are

    If Mary gets on, how many baskets does she have in each hand?
    Does she have any baskets?
    ARE Casy and Darcy carrying the baskets off or are the leaving 3 each behind?

    Is Casy carrying all her 6 baskets off and is DArcy just carrying 3 off?

    etc?
    etc?
    etc?

    But of course! Unfortunately they make small changes periodically and my spreadsheet is now a complete mess.

    some people getting close, 1160 was a good guess

    I was always a tad suspicious that some of the callers may be plants.
