Mission #15

[Jyll]

It's Basic Mathmatics, Duh
In this Mission, you will need to solve algebraic equations to get letters to plug into the phrase below in order to spell out the phrase. When you solve the equation, the number answer you get is where you'll stick the letter from that equation into with the hidden phrase. For example: 2x = 4. X = 2 so everywhere there would be a 2 in the hidden phrase, you would replace it with an X. However, that is for the example only. Here is the phrase:

9 14 10 - 11 5 8 3 - 1 14 13 - 3 5 7 1 3 4 - 2 12 2 16 9 - 16 11 14 10 15 5 1 4 - 4 14 6 6 5 7 15

- 6f - 8 = 4
- y + y = 18
- L/2 + 5 = 8
- t2 = 256
- 7 - s = -8
- o/o + o = 15
- a * 2a = 50
- 7n - 3n = 4
- 169/w = 13
- i/1 - i/3 = 8
- e + e - e/e + 4 = 9
- 5u/5 = 10
- 34 - 3h = 1
- 7v = 56
- d * - 7 = 121
- 5 - r + 6 - r + 2r = 11

You have 48 hours. The next Quiz will be Wednesday at 9pm (EST). I will be at the airport earlier in the evening, but should be back in plenty of time for the Quiz. However, if I am not, I will do my best to contact someone to come post an alert for you players so you all don't stay sitting around. However, unless there are flight delays of a few hours, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Question...
Are those negatives in front of all the questions or are those just marks to let us know that it is a new problem? I am assuming that they are just marks otherwise we will have some negative answers and since there aren't any in the equation above I assume that we are not looking for them! OK so I Just answered my own question! It is all Diane's fault with those drinks!

[Jyll]

I have some of these but got enough of them wrong that I can't put it together yet.
I have

"You hide now" and then I messed up on enough of the math that I don't have about 5 letters.
It is getting late and math isn't my friend anyway so I will take a look at this again in the morning sometime!

[Quinton]

Math and I hate each other.... but still I will try...


Hhmm.. I guess it reads you mole can forget about wrecking (this) mission!

[Daniel]

Do we send in the answers?

[Bain]

f=2
y=9
L=6
t=16
s=15
o=14
a=5
n=1
w=13
- i/1 - i/3 = 8
- e + e - e/e + 4 = 9
u= 10
h=11
v=8
d=4
r=0

[Bain]

By process of elimination, I got:
e=3
r=7--->Must have messed it up before
i=12
AND WITH THAT...


The phrase is:

YOU HAVE JUST EARNED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!

Try to screw me over this time, Mole.

Too bad I am the Mole, and with me WINNING a mission for you lousy people you'll never guess....hehe

[Jyll]

Great job Bain!
I hate math too and had way too many holes so am really glad that there is someone around here to lean all the math on!

[Jyll]

Daniel I can't find anywhere that we have to PM him the answer.
Bain could you send in the answer by PM just in case I missed something?

[Bain]

^Already did.

Hey, you guys aren't throwing ALL math missions on me!LOL
Math is my least favorite thing ever.....I just did it because I noticed that no one else was!

[Quinton]

You sure it isn't read "you mole can forget about wrecking (this) mission!"




I count the number of letters right

9 14 10 - 11 5 8 3 - 1 14 13 - 3 5 7 1 3 4 - 2 12 2 16 9 - 16 11 14 10 15 5 1 4 - 4 14 6 6 5 7 15


*goes thinking again*







ahh... I think i solved it. Bain's was close, but it should be

YOU HAVE NOW EARNED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!



Yay us for adding another $50,000!

It's been a long time since moley bought us a meal, I suggest we use some part of the money to return the favor! ;D Get some "real" food to fill in our belly, some of us slowly turning into an alcoholic!

I didn't mention your name, Ace Oops... can't blame him though, i mean look at who's behind the bar.


edit to put in the correct answer

[Diane]

(waves blushingly)

[Bain]

Nice catch Quinton, I almost screwed that up LOL.

Well...I did most of the mission for us, you just corrected a word...so, yeah.LOL

[Quinton]

Don't be mistaken, I didn't mean to take away your credit.

That was close and clever, that's all I said.


I don't just corrected a word by the way, I participated in every missions available, may not earn a lot of money for us but still I did all missions available.

[Bain]

^LOL I was joking with you...relax!!
