first off, skeptic was correct on sureshot's bonus one to my knowledge.

now, for yours:


one pizza had mushrooms, black olives,  and pepperoni, and was enjoyed by Neilda,Joretta,Edsel,Orrin, and Norwood.

the other had Green olives and ham, and was enjoyed by Boris,Chauncey, and Blanche.

Alejandro, of course, couldve picked either, but logic dictates he probably ate from the second one.

i know i didnt have to state which child ate which, but i did anyway so sue me

Although, your post here has a flaw, and is infact, incorrect.

 logic dictates he probably ate from the second one.

looking back , the logic was kind of lost on the edit

Consider the following equation:

Consider the following equation:

S E N D + M O R E M O N E Y

Each letter stands for a single digit. Find a coding that will make the above sum true.

k, here's what i got...

S=4                              (4)(5)(1)(3) = 60
E=5                            +(2)(6)(7)(5) = 420
N=1                              --------------
D=3                          (2)(6)(1)(5)(8 ) = 480
M=2
O=6
R=7
Y=8

Sry in advance if it doesnt come out right lol

yeah, sorta fixed

I don't think they're supposed to be multiplied, Skill.

After his long journey, Fingulfin was at a small airport in London, waiting for the direct flight to Shinjuku WC. While he was waiting he noticed an old acquaintance, the former King of Hazaa!

"How are you?" asked Fingulfin

"Not too good. There was a revolution, and I was exiled. I am now only the king of a very small hamlet"

"Well," said Fingulfin, "It is good to be the king of something, even a small hamlet."
"You would think. But there are only 66 adults in my hamlet, including me. And we all get the same salary, one nuxu per week. And everyone gets to vote at the weekly meetings, except me. I don't even get a vote!"

"Do you have any power at all?"

"All I am allowed to do at the weekly meetings is suggest a change in the salary distribution. I might suggest that I get six nuxu, that my friends BuddyTonto and Synakal each get thirty nuxu, and nobody else gets anything."

"And then what happens?"

"Then they vote on the change. The people whose salary would increase as a result of my proposal always vote 'Aye', and the people whose salary would decrease always vote 'Nay'."

"What about the people whose salary wouldn't change?"

"They don't vote. So if I suggest that I get six nuxu a week, and BuddyTonto and Synakal get thirty each, and nobody else gets anything, then the proposal would be defeated 63 - 2 (remember, I don't get a vote)."

"And what would it take for one of your proposals to pass?"

"It has never happened. For it to happen, there have to be more 'Aye' votes than 'Nay' votes.

[size="xx-small">[size="small"][face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]Fingulfin was silent after that. He realized that there was a way for the King to make a series of proposals that would result in a significant salary increase for himself. But he didn't want to say it, because it would impoverish many of the country's citizenry. What is the maximum salary the King could eventually obtain for himself, and how many weeks would it take for him
