Just here for the pie

The clue is hard, but possible. I shall tell you no more.

Oh, and don't expect me to reveal these two clues after the game ends. You either get them or you don't. :P
If we get the clue will you reveal that it's correct? I'm thinking no but I might be wrong.

If you get the clue, you know that it's right yourself. But I will not say anything.

I typed in Kruserville on google, and this is what i found:
Quote

The Moosemobile is ready to rock and roll.


Kruserville was short the Kruser's car this week as two students raced, but not the teacher.
This was called the Legends of Ascot or something.

There were a ton of things about destiny in the letter. Don't know what religion believes what about destiny.
Also, destiny is similar is dynasty, which refers to China. And then there the katana clue.

Lastly, it said DTBK got his hand cut off (star wars, Darth Vader) and JaFF told him he was his father (star wars)
Maybe moose is from Naboo!

I spent some time trying to find out any numbers that could be generated from the numbers and equations and clues given about DTBKs age.

well, I got no where, im stuck here. ill post what i found

JaFF had two brothers: the older Mini Moose 2707 and the younger Dapperdan.

Divide the difference between the numerator and the result by the difference between the denominator and the numerator
Now, add this and subtract that. Now subtract the variable a
revealed that he was doing 1st grade arithmetic at the age of 4
It read 14:10
2707

x - numerator
--------------------------------------- = X
Denominator - Numerator

14 - x
--------- = X
14 - 10

14 - x
--------- = X
4

14 - x = 4x

14 = 5x

I fail

lulz i was doing pretty much the same thing. but i also used 2 for a numerator (2nd story building, the floor ON TOP of the other floor)



None.

Aug 20 2009, 3:13 am Chubacca Post #211



ah good find lol, but x would just be 1

If you do

14 - X
---------- = Y
14 - 10

Y(14-10) + X = 14

4Y + X = 14, just need to figure out what Y is. I had initially replaced it with 14/10 as that was the ratio given 14:10, which yields X = 19.6, but JaFF said the answer was an integer, so, incorrect. If you add the 2 from DTBK jumped from the second story randomly in there, you actually get 20 instead of 19.6, but JaFF has an "add this, subtract that, subtract the variable a" in there too so I doubt its 20.

Great, now people are going to worry more about opening post clues than actual Mafia gameplay...

Aug 20 2009, 5:17 am Chubacca Post #216



it is something do to Poison_us, the next set of clues won't come for another week.

Anyways, Y and X would be the same thing Vrael, because it says "divide the difference between the numerator and the result." So in your equation, X=Y
And the add this subtract that, you adding 2 is probably supposed to be subtracted, im guessing that the addition of a number is going to be bigger then both variable a and "Subtract that" because in the post it says dapperdan is younger then mini moose, unless Jaff made that up

14 - x
--------- = X
14 - 10

14 - x = x(14 - x)
14 - x = 14x - x2
x2 - 15x +14

x2 - 15x + 14 is a quadratic equation

It comes out to
x = 14
x = 1

Quote
Now, add this and subtract that. Now subtract the variable a

add this: 14 + 1 = 15
subtract that: 370 - 15 = 355
subtract variable a: 55 or 35

ROFL, I got 35 and 55 out of all that. I am wrong.
Ill try something else tomorrow, school isn't my best subject lol.

Uhh, check your math too buddy.

Your second step should be
2). 14 - x = x(14-10)
3). 14 - x = 4x
which is what you did earlier

I don't think X = Y, either: consider JaFF's postion. He's starting from DTBK's age and "encoding it" in a way. If Y=X was the solution, it wouldn't be a very difficult problem to "decode", and we are only given the fraction
Numerator - Result
-----------------------------------
Denominator - Numerator
and of course, we assumed we had the numerator and denominator from the ratio you can make out of 14:10, but even if that part's correct, we don't know what to add or subtract in the rest of the instructions really.

Also, figuring this out would be a useful way of learning how JaFF writes clues, don't mock us for trying.

Are you sure about that?

Mock? I love you guys.



this is signature

Aug 20 2009, 1:09 pm Chubacca Post #219



oh crap i put an x instead of a 10. I feel retarded now lol. And why can't X = Y, in the word problem is says numerator - result. Result always goes on a separate side by itself unless told so

so we have
4Y + X = 14

what if we made this into a line equation. Lines have variables right? lol
Y = -4x + 56

meh no variable a though. If you said X = 19.6, then why don't we just plug it in and find Y.
Y = -22.4
X = 19.6

Quote
Now, add this and subtract that. Now subtract the variable a

Maybe you add -22.4 to something and subtract 19.6 to the result.

And yeah, Im not very school smart, and I could care less about Mini moose's age, but I want to solve this to see how his clues are like. And so far, they have been 9th grade math problems combine with 7th grade word problems lol.



None.

Aug 20 2009, 2:49 pm Bar Refaeli Post #220



I think we should look for other possible equations in the letter, because I spent a long time fiddling around with the numbers for that equation, and I got nothing that would tell me "Oh, that must be his age"
