Lenny Conundrum - Round #403

An audit of the electricity used in Moltara City is being conducted. It seems that one of the hanging lanterns (on the left of the image) uses 79 watts of power. The spherical lantern (on the right) uses 47 watts. And fans use 113 watts.
How many watts are being consumed by these items in Moltara City? Please submit only a number with no other information.


Not 100% sure. Add any comments below if you have any further input.
Answer : 1306 W

    I personally counted 7 hanging, 4 sphere, and 5 fans, equaling 1306. People on forums yadilling about if they included what's in shops v. whats in city.

    Just a fan? They look industrial almost and are animated on the page itself.

    @LennyC: There are 5 fans; they're the spinning things (e.g. there is one either side of the 'Tunnel Tumble' sign)

    I got 1306. BUT there's some lamps in the lamp shop. Do you think that they count if they do. GRRR!

    Makes sense.
    The question now is, do we include the lights/fans inside the shops :S.

    Just counting and adding based on the first image, seems to easy.

    Some people on forums neo claim to have forgotten something big and therefore have failed.

    Who knows.

    Hmmm. We only have a week to find out I guess. All I can say is the ones on the main page are animated. The ones in the shops aren't so they don't flicker/move etc.

    1306 for me too

    I personally counted the ones in the shops as well as the ones in the city. I thought it seemed too easy just considering the ones in the 'city centre' itself, and besides, doing a little 'treasure hunt' was kind of amusing.

    I don't mind if I'm wrong, though; I won a trophy last week already :)

    I got 1306, but I don't know if they want what's in shops or whats in city as a whole.

    113 x 5 fans
    79 x 10 of the lamps
    47 x 7 lanterns
    1873 all together.
    I think the lamps in the shops are included.
    They are part of Moltara.

  17. LennyC Solver18 May 2011 at 14:47

    1306 for just the ones on the main page.
    1873 if counting all of the ones including shops.

    If someone confirms both of these figures, Ill update the first post.

    just by going on looks, there are 3 additional lamps in the lamp shop that are identical to the hanging lamps in the question... it would make sense if those counted but not the lamps that aren't in the question... however, I already sent in the wrong answer, so I guess I'm not getting this one!

  19. Anonymous18 May 2011 at 14:48

    Or you could possibly just add 113 to 79 to 47 :) It was never specified that counting was needed!

  20. LennyC Solver18 May 2011 at 14:49

    lol you just may be right. It never said anywhere what was the total or all of them.

    This is what I hate about the LC, there is always tons of possible solutions :x.

    I think 239 might be right. Other wise they would have given us other clue to it. =/

    I think the math is wrong here- 10*79=790, 7*47=329 and 113*5=565, add those up to get 1684 not 1873

    ReplyDelete
  24. Anonymous18 May 2011 at 14:52

    10 hanging lamps = 790
    7 spherical lamps = 329
    5 Fans = 565
    ---------------------------------
    Total Watts = 1684

    also the question says one lantern uses 79 watts, so I assume you still have to count....

    by these items in Moltara City

    They only want those items and only in Moltara City. :P

  34. Haunted Woods Devotee18 May 2011 at 15:22

    So that would make the answer 1306. It's confirmed then :)

    Yeah but technically, the shops are IN Moltara city :/.

    I think the answer is #3 because we need to count every thing in Moltara city.

    I think you guys are missing something. If you read the question carefully, you might be able to figure it out. You're on the right track, though.

    I'm not entirely sure I'm correct; however, I don't want to just give away what I think is the correct answer.

    Hmm, I found it quite wierd that they didn't include a picture of the fan.

    "How many watts are being consumed by these items in Moltara City?"

    that's the question. if you read carefully it says "in Moltara City" which means only moltara city itself not included shops because if you included the shops it would've said "How many watts are being consumed by these items in the whole of moltara city" or something like that

    ReplyDelete
  41. Anonymous18 May 2011 at 21:18

    I think #1 is incorrect since it said fans so there is more than 1 fan, maybe... not so sure

    ReplyDelete
  42. Anonymous18 May 2011 at 21:31

    My guess is 126 for a trick question since it only pictures two (why not make an image of a fan?)

    "These items" aren't in Moltara City, they're in Lenny Conundrum. So I answered 0

  44. Anonymous18 May 2011 at 22:45

    I think it is 741. these items meaning only the 2 pictured. in moltara city. only the main page. 4 spherical and 7 hanging.

    "And fans use 113 watts." - that means fans collectively use 113 watts, regardless of the number of fans inside Moltara. Whether or not the lanterns within the stores count is still unknown though.

  47. Anonymous19 May 2011 at 00:55

    If TNT really wanted to mess with us, then the above poster may be onto something. "And fans use 113 watts." could be the total wattage of the fans in Moltara City as it didn't specifically say "Each fan uses 113 watts." Therefore the answer could quite possibly be:
    Total fan usage = 113 W
    + 10 hanging lamps * 79 W = 790 W
    + 7 spherical lamps * 47 W = 329 W
    ----------------------------------
    = 1232 W
    (or 854 W not counting the ones in the shops)

    I already guessed 1684 so I hope I'm wrong.

    That does seem logical.

    "How many watts are being consumed by these items in Moltara City?"

    Based on the use of the term these items, I am thinking it is a trick question.

    ""And fans use 113 watts." - that means fans collectively use 113 watts, regardless of the number of fans inside Moltara. Whether or not the lanterns within the stores count is still unknown though."

    That's sort of what I was alluding to in my post about reading it more carefully.

    It does explicitly state that each lantern is x amount of watts. However, it simply says fans use this many watts, which I agree is a collective number.

    I also think it only wants to see those on the home page. I feel like there's only one major trick, and that's the fan bit. I consider Moltara City to be the main shop image. I could be wrong, but that's what seems logical to me.

  55. Samantha25 May 2011 at 08:58

    I put 239, as it only asks for the amount of watts being used by the items mentioned. Therefore, 79 + 47 + 113 seems fairly logical.

    Good luck though guys :)
