Nope.
How about if you spell them out:
TEN (3 letters)
FOUR (4 letters)
THREE (5 letters)
ELEVEN (6 letters)
FIFTEEN (7 letters)
Each one is getting longer by one letter, which would lead to:
FOURTEEN or a.)14
This is a stretch, I know, but I noticed it when spelling them out on paper
That stretch is worth another 3.Quote:

A well known fashion designer wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. She decided to spend a few days at a rural resort.
Feeling like some fresh air after a day of reading and relaxing, she decided to go for a winter stroll. That was the last time anyone saw her alive.
The autospy revealed that death was due to the pack she had on her back.
What was so deadly about this pack?
__________
It was a pack of wolves.
Is that the official answer??Quote:

That player gets a bye and automatically advances to the next round.
How many matches will Mr. Dodgers have to schedule to determine the tether ball champion? (Try figuring it out in your head!)
__________
656 matches will be needed.
It may seem impossible to figure it out in your head unless you got the 'aha!' In actuality you are trying to determine the number of matches needed to come up with 656 losers. Viewed in this light, of the 657 people in the tournament, everyone will eventually lose a match except for the champion.

656 matches, was too many to do in my head, but now the answer seems obvious
656 people would need to lose, so 656 matches??Quote:

I have a prize available now.
No, it's not a box of delicious Classics from Krispy Kreme.
I am proposing that this be considered a "milestone" prize, given to the player who reaches a set milestone first.
How does 500 points sound for this milestone?
sounds a long ways away :)
Deity's already halfway there... :eek2:Quote:

You just happened to be the best player so far so I have to use your score as a focal point. ;)
Would it be better with a higher milestone?
Say 1,000?
I think 500 is fine. Even if you wanted to set it at 350 or 400, who cares? Deity earned his score, and if he hits whatever goal you set first, he deserves it!Quote:

Logan's Run DVD Features (Region 1):
- Available subtitles: English, French
- Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 5.1), French
- Commentary by Michael York
- Commentary by director Michael Anderson and Bill Thomas
- Making Of: "A Look Into the 23rd Century" documentary
Runner up prizes consist of a licence for Polar Golfer by WildTangent.
Notes:
The Milestone achiever gets his pick of either the DVD or a Polar Golfer licence.
The other 4 runners up are eligible for a Polar Golfer licence or, if the milestone winner has claimed one, the Logan's Run DVD based on highest score ratings.
If you must know, I thought the DVD was the 1977 TV series, not the 1976 movie, and I have only viewed it once.
