Whose picture was on the poster that Art Conn was looking at?

His dad.

I think you let grover make up the answer up just to get him hooked. It's called the bait and switch, and I don't like it. Drug dealers use this technique all of the time. You suck!

Why?

One more try. It was New Years of 1939 and Christmas of 1939. The reason they were one day apart was that it wasn't a leap year. In 1940, they would have been 2 days apart.

Why?

Christmas Day and New Year's Day (of the following year) always fall on the same day of the week. The question is quoting the days of the week that Christmas Day and New Year's Day (of the same year, 1939) fell on. New Year's Day of 1940 did fall on a Monday as expected.

Question 196 - CANCELLED

It was puzzle time down the Pig and Bucket.

"It's a real digital dilemma," remarked Bert as he supped his ale. Alf had the self-satisfied smile, he always wore when he was confident he had Bert over a barrel.

Alf had drawn the equation below on card and given Bert the digits 1-6. Bert had to put two digits on each line, using each digit once and once only, to make a valid equation.

____ + ____ = ____

Using only the six digits and no further symbols, in how many ways can it be done?

3 possible answers, each gets 3 points.

I'm going to have to go back and sift through the submissions, because I'm getting the feeling that I missed something...

Haven't been myself these last days, so I'll post back my findings and hand out points accordingly.

I goofed.

SirGraystone gets 3 for being first to answer, while Deity and edball each get a bonus point for their attempts.

Sorry about that. :(
