Vort Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 No Googling, you cheaters! [ (12 + 144 + 20) + 3√4 ] / 7 + 5(11) = 92 + 0 Hint (select to read): "A dozen, a gross, and a score..." dprh 1 Quote
Guest Mores Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) I got a gross and a score. I got that 7 rhymed with 11. But the I couldn't figure out the rest. *** I just looked it up. Pretty clever. But I never would have figured out the 0. Edited June 6, 2019 by Mores Quote
dprh Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 A dozen, a gross, and a score Plus three times the square root of four Divided by seven Plus five times eleven Equals nine squared and no more ???? How is that? Thanks to @Moresfor the 'gross' mordorbund and Vort 2 Quote

When I looked it up, I thought "duh". And of course, at that point I didn't think I was just supposed to read the numbers as they were. But there it was. Quote

Vort Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Why is Six afraid of Seven? (Spoiler below) Six is not really afraid of Seven. Not really. It's not fear. It's...something else. When Six looks at Seven, he sees...things. He sees the Afghani children. He hears the bang and the whistling of the RPGs. He remembers the smell of grease under the HMMWV when the axle broke. That was when they lost Riggs. He was from the Bronx, and he always smoked Salems. Foul mouth, but Riggs was one of the good guys. When you needed backup, Riggs was there. So was the sniper...no, Six can't think about that now. It's too much. Riggs is gone now, along with Pops and Lefty. Lefty. What a card. And Pops looked like he was sixty years old, but he couldn't have been more than forty. And Butch...you could land a cargo transport on his head. And Wilma, and Rocco, and Tubes. All gone. Six knows that. It's just that sometimes, he...forgets. Something about Seven. Six doesn't hate Seven. He just...wishes he'd go away. Plus, Seven has a hook for a hand.
