Lenny Conundrum - Round #451

If Jelly - Linae = JY, what is the following 7 letter word?

1 = (Peach - Peadackle) + (Rainbow Negg - Orange Negg)

2 = (Tan Blush - Blue Short Hair Brush) + (Uggsul - Tehuti)

7 = (Maraqua - Altador) - (Roast Gargapple - Dapper Shoyru Shoes)

5 = (Lollypop - Lemon Neodrops) - (Bubbles Herbal Drink - Hoochie Coochie Tablets)

6 = (Mega Wild Chocomato Smoothie - Mega Blueberry Tomato Smoothie) - (Black Barbat - White Anubis)

3 = (Shield of Reflection - Shield of Faerieland) + (Farlax V - Airax)

4 = (Gelert Helm - Emerald Hissi Helm) - (Remnok - Korabric)

What is the answer?

Those numbers have to mean more than which letter they are trying to give you. If they wanted us to just put them in order, they wouldn't have put the numbers in the first place. They would have just listed the words. I am wondering exactly how those numbers correspond to the puzzle.

But if they really meant something more than they would have had to put a number next to 'Jelly - Linae = JY'... right?

1 = (H) + (IBW)
2 = (N) + (GGSL)
3 = (FCT) + (FLV)
4 = (GT) - (EMN)
5 = (Y) - (URDRNK)
6 = (WDCHCT) - (LCKR)
7 = (MQU) - (TGGL)

Current Theory that has hit a dead end.
Subtracting two words: Obtained by subtracting the letters in word one that appear in word two
Adding two words: Add the letters of word two onto word one.

I got different results than Tome of Knowledge; he didn't cancel every same letter.
1= H+IBW
2= N+GGSL
3= CTO+FLV
4= GT-EMN
5= Y-URDRNK
6= WDCHC-LCKR
7= MQU-TGGL
Still means absolutely nothing, though... TNT's little aid didn't help at all.

Has anyoneelse noticed that the clue very clearly states Jelly - Linae = JY? Why is the Y a capital letter?

0 Vote up Vote down

Anonumouse · 669 weeks ago

Based off the clue I don't think that the Y is part of the answer just because there is a y in jelly, in which case everyone is doing this incorrectly.

If the Y were from the word jelly, it would NOT be capitalized

They could have simply capitalized the letter just to signify that capitalization doesn't matter. Any letter could be the first.

Nick · 669 weeks ago

Trying a different route... is removing the "ell" from "Jelly" come from something else besides the letters that make up "Linae?" Like the capital letters remove the letter that make up that sound from the first word? So for "Peach - Peadackle", you'd remove "Pea" from to "Peach" to leave you with "ch?"

That idea comes to a screeching halt though.

Or something with rhyming syllables removing instead of similar letters.

Augie · 669 weeks ago

I tried using all the letters that were removed, (Peac,dcl), etc and ended up with ATLASES
which doesn't make any sense in Neopia

Don't ask me how. It was late at night and took many sheets of paper.
I may submit that as my answer, but I want to think on it more.

Cynder · 669 weeks ago

just an idea... (Peach - Peadackle) + (Rainbow Negg - Orange Negg). maybe you get the word peach and take away all the letters that are in peadackle (e.g. remove the p e a and c. leaving you with H) it works with Jelly - Linae = JY (jelly - L i n a e = JY because of the letters left) .. was just an idea. not quite sure how it makes a 7 letter word in the end

after testing my theory i came up with (i ordered them from 1-7 instead of leaving them jumbled)
1 = h + ibw
2 = Tn + ggsl
3 = ct + Fl V
4 = t - emn
5 = lly - Bubb ra Drnk
6 = Wd Chct - lack arat
7 =Mrqu - t Ggl
... unfortunalty i cant make sence of it, theres clearly more then 7 letters here

Cynder · 669 weeks ago

sorry if im sppamming, but i tried turning the letters into numbers then back into letters again,
1 = h + ibw = 1+3=4
2 = Tn + ggsl = 2+4=6
3 = ct + Fl V = 2+3=5
4 = t - emn = 1-3=-1
5 = lly - Bubb ra Drnk = 3-10= -7
6 = Wd Chct - lack arat = 6-8= -2
7 =Mrqu - t Ggl = 4-4= 0

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
i ended up getting
DFEzty

(when it’s a minus number go backwards from A e.g. -1=Z)
unfortunalty theres only 6 letters in this word, maybe theres something in Neopets that has these letters and we just have to unscramble them? or maybe i did it wrong and 0=A instead of 1=A? in wich case it would be 'EGFZTYA' . (i might of done some maths wrong so feel free to correct me

You should compare notes against the several people that did this before you higher up in the comments; I'm pretty sure you can eliminate more letters.

Could it possibly have to do with math?
I.e. Jelly - Linae = JY is some sort of result of replacing letters with their corresponding number in the alphabet.
I haven't tried any equations yet, though.

On another note, If Jelly - Linae = JY, then does that mean that each number does not necessarily correspond to one letter but multiple ones? But then that would mess up the whole 7 letter word clue...

Bubbles Herbal Drink Hoochi Coochi tablets (cures), etc.
The only pairs that don't match are Peach & Peadackle, Farlax V & Airax, and Roast Gargapple & Dapper Shoyru Shoes

Can anyone find a word scrambled using the letters bgurkln ?? I don't think its possible because theres only one vowel, but sometimes neopets has strange words. I got this by putting
h + ibw
n +ggsl
mqu - tggl
y - urdrnk
wdcc - lckr
cto + flv
gt - emn
in alphabetical order each one (like bhiw) and then picking the first letter of the first, second of the second, seventh of the third etc.

I tried to think of other ways these were related, if it helps.

Peach & Peadackle: both start with "pea"
Farlax V & Airax: both end in "ax"
and Roast Gargapple & Dapper Shoyru Shoes: both contain "pp" in them.

Not sure if this is even important.

Rachael · 669 weeks ago

I tried turning the letters into numbers by putting the corresponding number in the alphabet,
J = 10 E = 5 L = 12 L = 12 Y = 25 = 64
Then I added them all up, and I did Linae
L = 12 I = 9 N = 14 A = 1 E = 5 = 41
Then I subtracted them from each other, and I got 23. But that doesn't work, because 23 would be BC and it says it was JY. I'm completely stumped.

The thing about this is that for it to be JY the numbers would have to be 1025, which would be impossible, unless the math was done differently

it has to be the letters corresponding to numbers because if you plug the numbers into the mini formula given, you are given the correct number. Ex. c + e = h
c is 3, e is 5 and h is 8. 3+5 = 8
