Ha, youre dropping like flys. The suspicious eyes have spoken. fmtiger is dead. Of course z was correctly protected so you have that going for you.

i stumbled upon my kill clue while doing my math homework. While staring at my answer, 3025, i noticed that it was very weird. if you split it in half, add the 2 numbers together, and square the sum, you get 3025. (To recap, 30 + 25 = 55. 55*55 = 3025) Your task, should you choose to accept it is to find the other number that has different digits in each position that also satisfies this property.

My partners identity clue: Lets go to the lake for vacation!

its 2025 (20+25 = 45, 45^2=2025)

Nope.

Yes

ill protect z
EDIT: wouldnt 100 also work?

Can't be split in half lol.

[brobo]

For the record I was the one to figure out that it was z....

any ideas on the identity clue?

my aweswome clue wasnt supposed to be solved like that! so, i am giving you another better one that brobo cant look up!


let me explain. in this devilish circle you have to fill in the 4 remaining blanks with numbers. if you take a number and square it and take a number next to it and square it it exactly equals the 2 numbers exactly opposite of those 2 if you square them both and add them together. (22*22 +19*19=13*13+26*26. 49*49 + 22*22=47*47+26*26) fill in the numbers to save your victim.

Don't worry, I'd have gotten it anyways.

And as for this one:





So for the numbers across from each other a and c, (a-c)(a+c)=192.

Prime factors of 192:


I g2g, I'll finish later.

Protip: Don't give math related clues when I'm an officer.

EDIT: I'll do it now.

So, we'll make a-c = 8 and a+c = 24
And a-c = 12 and a+c = 16

a = 16, c = 8
a = 14, c = 2

So, starting on far right and going around clockwise:
16, 2, 8, 14
