    can we hold off using our guesses until someone comes up with a proposed answer and an explanation and let's see what the view is across the village

    Your leg work was wrong

    I clearly asked if anyone minded me having a guess

    Instead you jump in and try and grab the glory

    That is not how a villager plays

    I'm fine with going to the Church.

    Not sure on the riddle though, going down rabbit holes with it already.

    THIS letter placement on the alphabet equals 20,8,9,19... added together = 56

    Roman numerals I (=1), V (=5), X (=10), L (=50), C (=100), D (=500), and M (=1000)

    56 = LVI

    Level One?

    I'm guessing that is a bit mad though, but with it being based off a game and all is the only reason I'm even posting it.

    Phil will probably lash it in as a vote

    I already did. I asked for village thoughts, and it was deemed a **** one.

    So I didn't waste a guess on it.

    It's how Phil plays, there is precident.


    so, nobody thinks my Level One (LVI in roman numerals = the alphabetical letter placement of THIS) is anything but nonsense?

    Ah ffs, can we focus on trying to solve the actual puzzle? Phil jumped the gun (again) but if we wait for total consensus we will never get anywhere.

    Brendan, your level 1 answer seems a bit convoluted but at least it is thinking things through. I'd say hold it in reserve as a guess for now until we have some alternatives. I'd say there is probably something in their based on Roman Numerals alright

    When the Romans counted the entirety of their whole army, their sum was greater than the value of this.

    'the entirety of their whole army' has 27 characters in it. 27 is more than 4.

    It could be 27.

    I'm getting hung up on the difference between "the sum" and "the value"...value has a different connotation than sum.


  • #329

    Forum Games Player Posts: 3,818 ✭✭✭Phil WW


    Alternate theory.

    When the Romans (read, more than 1 Roman) counted the entirety of their whole army (1 army), their sum (referring to the number of romans counting) was greater than the value of this (referring to the 1 army they counted).

    I.e. the answer is 2.

    Well we're looking for the value of 'this', whatever that is.

    My thoughts are guiding me to something that is inherently valuable. But I'm coming up with nothing. Life? Life is valuable, but it doesn't have an actual numerical value.

    could it be read as in their Sum total in the Sum Total of all romans?

    so there are more romans than there are (roman) soldiers in the army?

    A typical Roman army during this period consisted of five to six legions. One legion was made up of 10 cohorts. The first cohort had five centuria each of 160 soldiers. In the second through tenth cohorts there were six centuria of 80 men each.

    9 pages not bad I thought it'd be worse.

    Hi everyone


  • #345
    Patrick WW
    Forum Games Player Posts: 1,645 ✭✭✭Patrick WW


    so if 5 it is:

    5 x 160 = 800

    6 x 80 x 9 = 4320

    4320 + 800 = 5120

    5120 x 5 = 25,600

    so if 6 is:

    5 x 160 = 800

    6 x 80 x 9 = 4320

    4320 + 800 = 5120

    5120 x 6 = 30,720

    *** mod post ***

    Two accounts have been changed due to faulty login information so far this game. One yesterday, one today. The posters themselves were unable to post on them from the start.

    Those accounts that were changed were
    Desmond WW to Derry WW
    Winifred WW to Barbara WW

    The accounts may be different, but the people behind them are still the same.

    The original post has been updated to reflect the change

    Ok, so rolling back a bit

    Their sum was greater than the value of this.

    Maybe zero is right, but it's the wrong answer. So they counted their entire army - i.e. 1 army and that sum is great than the value of something which is valued at zero.

    The answer isn't zero, however. The answer is what is the thing that is valued at zero

    It's painted in blood. Could blood be 'this'

    The wall being this makes sense to me. So an army / offense has more value than a wall / defense.

    You're just being pedantic for no reason now. We have to provide the solution to the puzzle, which is what i mean by 'answer'.
