Hi all
Is anyone into the Enigma math/Arith puzzles
Especially 1673
Kind Regs
THEA

Where do we find them?

Surely the number that's "just divisble by 8" is also "divisble by 2" or is it the same number?

Hi Sudokulover,Rambler and scarlett
Thanks for posting the link Rambler ( BTW are you my long lost brother Reinhart????)
Scarlett Yes
And number div by 9 is div by 3
Number div by 8 is div by 4 & 2
And any number div by 72 is div by them all bar the 5. So one number could do for five conditions, one number for the 5 and the other 4 numbers could be primes
Basically im wallowing
YRS THEA
Am searching for some analytic method to rule things in and out.

That's quite spooky- I just looked in before going to bed and your thread came to life, THEA. I'm not doing the exercise, I just posted the link as a help. Is Reinhart some one who used to be on the forum before I joined,I'm interested why you think I am he.

R. AMBLER?

Off to bed now and find out about Reinhart tomorrow.

Don't you just wish you could retract posts sometimes. Let your guard down for a moment, foget to look behind you and you're nobbled. Good one,THEA.

jws did the same to me today in your thread, rambler. I told trevor I'd trade him two Mormons for three JWs, and shortly thereafter jws posted remarking that I thought he was worth two thirds of a mormon. I thought "oops", and it really took a frighteningly long while to get it.
