Lenny Conundrum #120

[Kalathalan]

Congratulations! You have guessed correctly in the Lenny Conundrum game (Round 119). We have given you a Fyoras Hair Care, an Avatar, and 608 NP!

Avatar, w00t.

To get the answer, you either had to view the source or move your mouse over the "Invisible Kacheek".

The real question was "How much NP do you need to buy one of each item in the Hidden Tower?"

...I entered after the price change and submitted my answer.... and I didn't get a prize....O_o

What answer did you submit? The answer before or after the price change? I'm wondering if they only accepted answers as correct if the answer you gave corresponded with the answer that was valid when you sent it.

The NPs are never very big on the LC ... are they. At least I made it in time for the item prize!

After the price change....

Edit: Just noticed I did get my prize.... But there wasn't an event for the neomail.

I didn't get the np prize and I entered 272059500np as my answer

[Cranberry]

I entered 268059500 and got the prize and NP (already had the av). arogance1, did you enter it exactly like that, with no space between the number and "NP"? They might not have accepted that. I just put the number alone.

[WaylonJSmithers]

yeah, I think if you put the "np" right after the number with no spaces it might confuse the script that judges the conundrum.

That's probably why they added the text:

note that the more extra information you put in your answer, the less likely it will be tagged as a correct one. So please, don't submit any more information than simply your answer.

It's probably best, in questions like this, just to put the number without putting "neopoints" or "np" after it.

A Maraquan Acara entered the Food Shop, wanting to buy a chocolate-covered carrot. "That'll be 2400 Neopoints!" the shopkeeper declared. Unfortunately, the Acara didn't have that much, but she decided to make a deal. She offered to buy the chocolate-covered carrot but only if the shopkeeper loaned her as many Neopoints as the Acara currently had. The shopkeeper agreed, and the Acara bought the carrot and left.

Then the Acara went straight to the Book Shop, and found a book she wanted for 2400 Neopoints. She still didn't have that much, so she made the same offer to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper agreed to loan her the same amount of Neopoints as she currently had, and she bought the book.

She tried the same thing at both the Magic Shop and the Back-To-School Shop, where she bought a 2400-Neopoint item at each shop. After completing her purchase at the Back-To-School shop, she had no Neopoints left.

How many Neopoints did the Acara start with?

FINALLY! One I can do with simple math! I think I got it, and hopefully quickly enough to get the item! I double checked my answere to make sure it was right, so, I should be good!

[stampsyne]

OH! the power of 25!

[LupetyLupe]

Can I confirm with someone?

[Morningstar]

Can I confirm with someone?

Sure, LupetyLupe, you can PM me. It was such an easy-peasy question--if you go about it logically. Shame I didn't see it the second it came out. Oh well, I guess eating dinner in real life is more important than getting an av in virtual life.

EDIT: And a hint for anyone who needs it. Trying looking at things backwards.

[XenaAndGabrielle]

Yeah, starting from the end is the best place to solve this one ... and just work your way backwards.

Hopefully next week's will be hard again!

This one was easy, I hope I made it in top 250... Probably not though. This can be done even through trial and error.

[cheer_cutie96]

I figured it out. This one was easy.
