Lenny Conundrum - Round #433

Simon, Neopia's most successful Plushie Tycoon, is having a bit of a problem. Production is down due to injuries at his factory and he needs to institute some new safety regulations. He didn't become a bajillionaire by allowing workers with a case of button face or thread burn to take days off!

Oh, sure, he looks nice, but that's only because he just counted his money.

He asked for reports from each of his five department heads, but the information got all jumbled! Now he's not sure who manages what department, what floor they're on, and their records for most days without injury. Here's what he does know:

• Phabrick managed the Design department, whose record without injury was not 17 days.


• Brilch didn't manage a department that was housed on the third floor.


• The only department on the second floor, which did not hold the 28-day injury record, was the Store.


• 348 days was not the record for the Warehouse. Lyrian managed the department with the 1-day record.


• The two departments on the third floor were the one with the 17-day record, and the one that Embroal managed.


• Trilnin managed the Engineering department, which wasn't on the first floor. The Stuffing department had the 53-day record, but wasn't on the third floor.

So, which department had only ever gone one day without injury and needs a strict set of protocol and procedures to ensure production continues at maximum efficiency? Enter only the department name.

As seen above, you can arrange the digits 1-9 in a 3-by-3 grid so that the number formed in the first row can be multplied by 2 to form the number in the second row and by 3 to form the third row.

It can be done a few different ways using a few different number combinations, but what is the one solution with a 5 placed in the centre square? Enter just the numbers found in each row in order, with a space between each. For example, the answer for the first grid shown above would be 219 438 657.

Virtupets, Inc. has decided to create a new toy called the Pretty Pretty Princess Prism! This toy has no nefarious purposes at all whatsoever, who told you that?!

A 2-dimensional concept drawing* of the "toy" was leaked earlier this week and can be seen below.

Ooohhhhhhh... shiny.

*not to scale

For no reason at all, you decide to figure out how many triangles there are in the drawing, not counting half of the triangles that are one-half the size of the largest triangle. Then you submit the number below!

Enter just the number. Adding anything else will disqualify you!

Lenny Conundrum - Round #429

One particular cold and rainy evening, Gilly decided to break from her usual routine and take a gander at some of the other rooms this mysterious castle had to offer. She wandered for a bit, finding nothing terribly interesting, until she eventually got lost in a wing she didn't recognise.

It was here that she stumbled upon what could only be Eliv Thade's study, full of books - puzzles that had likely been devised by the mastermind himself. One very simple slip of paper, partially concealed under a dusty old tome, caught her eye. She knew the dangers of reading it - more than most did, in fact - but she couldn't help herself. She carefully removed it from where it had surely been resting for many years, took a deep breath, and read it aloud.

Every good riddle requires your brain,

And the hope that you'll live and won't go insane.

Solving this one will be quite the chore.

In this very sequence, find the lost letters four.

_ G R R Y B A T H T Y _ A W G I S T O W B Q T C _ T _ S F T L L F

Assuming Gilly doesn't go insane solving the puzzle, what are the four missing letters in the sequence?

Enter just the four letters, with no spaces or punctuation.

Rohane decided to put Mipsy to the test using a complicated maths problem he learned from a wise old sage on some adventure somewhere, he forgets exactly.

"Twelve plus twelve plus twelve plus twelve plus twelve plus thirty equals ninety," he said. "But it also equals another number. If you can tell me that number, you can skip cleaning duty tonight." Mipsy HATED cleaning duty! I mean, really, who likes cleaning duty?

She's clever, though, and was on to his game. She came up with the following forumla and knew she was on the right track:

So, what number gets Mipsy out of cleaning duty?

Charlie the Chia has spent a better part of the year running away from a scary Lupe named Boris.

One day, Boris told Charlie, "I'm really tired of chasing you, so here is a riddle. If you answer correctly, I won't chase you any longer. Here it is: The day before yesterday, I was 3 years old, and next year I will be 6. You might think I am fibbing but this is actually true out of one day in a year. What day is my birthday?"

Providing that Boris doesn't change his mind and eat Charlie for breakfast anyway, what is Boris the Lupe's birthday?

Enter the correct answer in the following format below: Month of ____, Day ##

Arty loves to garden! In fact, he has quite a large one in the back of his shop that he keeps all to himself. It's 55 yards wide and 40 yards long with a diagonal path, one yard wide, running through it. Erm... maybe this will help:

Okay, so, it's not to scale. Arty's a gardener, not an architect! Anyway, he'd like to cover the path with some nice pebbles, but he's unsure of how much he'll need to buy. First he needs to know how big the path is!

What is the area of the path?
Enter the number in square yards, rounding to the nearest whole number.

You're very proud of your ten One Dubloon Coins. It's a pretty big deal, after all. Ten of them! Congratulations.



You arranged them in a triangle. A pyramid of sorts. But, for Fyora's sake, it's upside down! Now you've done it. Now you have an upside down dubloon triangle and everyone is going to laugh at you.



Better turn it right side up. But, you can only move three of the dubloons to complete this task. I don't make the rules, buddy! I just enforce them.

Which three dubloons would you move to turn the pyramid right side up?
List them in descending order, separated by spaces.

Samrin has been having trouble with a very hungry Babaa eating all the grass and leaving none for the other Petpets. He decided to separate the Babaa from the others, but the only area Samrin had left in his field was a hexagonal patch, each side measuring 40 yards.

Samrin tied the Babaa to a post in one corner of the field using a 50 yard rope, and he knows it takes the Babaa 13 minutes to eat 1 square yard of grass.

How many days before the Babaa runs out of food and Samrin has to tie it to another post?
Round to the nearest whole day.

Lawyerbot was attempting to organise his Usuki collection and came upon a box with 63 Deluxe Angel Usukis and 113 Devilish Usukis inside. He also had an additional 72 Devilish Usukis next to him in a bag. Then, his programming went a bit haywire.

Every time he'd reach into the box, he'd pull out two Usukis. If they were different, he'd toss a Deluxe Angel Usuki back in. If they were the same, he'd toss a Devilish Usuki back in. He kept doing this until there was only one Usuki left in the box.

Which Usuki was it?

Roffle is a pretty confused spyder. Rather than spin your average web, he only makes square versions. You know, maybe he's a genius and we don't know it! In any case, the square thing is still kinda weird.

Anyway, one day, he came upon this pattern of dots on the ground because that makes perfect sense. He decided to use this pattern to spin his next set of webs.

How many individual square webs can Roffle form using this template, if the dots mark the corners of the squares?

Enter an integer ONLY.
