Whoa ! Bingo, right off the tee !
Very good lynx. B) How 'bout this one.................


Add one straight line to make this true;

20 10 5=1640

One line straight through the equal sign - An equal sign with one line crossing each of their lines signifies 'not equal to'.

Ummm......the No Smoking sign is still lit I&#39;m afraid.

I know your almost certainly looking for a better answer ,but just to be pedantic your could add a slanted line to the equals sign so it reads
20105 greater than or equal to 1640

No cigar for anyone who uses words I don&#39;t understand. There are spaces between the first three sets of numbers....that&#39;s a clue. B)


Well, gotta zzzzzzzzzzz now. The cigar box is closed I guess til I stagger in with my coffee in 6 hours or so.

Toodles. B)

did anyone get the german twins one?
i can&#39;t see the answer but according to the problems it might not be shown....

This was my guess, but Lamsey&#39;s joke (double meaning) got in the way

My guess would be that as they were born a half-hour apart, they&#39;d seem like identical twins. The passports would be forgeries, and would be fool-proof...except they&#39;d have different dates of birth. AFAIK, identical twins can&#39;t have DOBs other than on the same day or adjacent days at the furthest. It was just a case that Fritz was seen to first and Hans was the second one to go through, aka bad luck

Now I&#39;m not sure whether a cigar&#39;s coming this way...will it? won&#39;t it?

Well - Will it?

[2nd gen noob]

i see the problem now.
i can&#39;t see illuminati&#39;s reply until i post this message.

edit: now i see the problem
