Raging Bull (drama/sport), Brazil (Drama, Sci-fi), Casino (Drama/Crime) and Red Lights (Drama/Mystery): All of these are names of films. Films with drama, I guess.

They are also all films in which Robert De Niro starred.

That is correct; films Robert De Niro has been in. Finally! :D

Next puzzle coming in a couple/few hours :D

Nice handwriting you got there, Lou.

Pretty good for a robot with no arms and no legs.

Puzzle 6:

There MAY be a few different answers for each question.

cbf2math

1) 24

2) 32

a) 0, (0,28,28)
b) 67, (0,67,67)

Oh, I was ninja’d by 9 minutes with answers that are probably right.

I think we’re both going to split the point again. I didn’t even consider using 0.

1: 0,11,15,24,27,55
2: 1,28,32,35,43,46,49,53,67,134

That’s also correct but race got their first. I never thought that you could do it like that :P Probably should’ve said that he sells at least one each day.

Puzzle 7:

What comes fourth in the sequence (to replace the question mark)? Just one possible answer this time.

February the 5th

December 1st

Hmmmm…. I dunno, but the may be some significance to the homophone of March 4th, march forth.

You have to look for a general principle (one that can be applied to all examples). No, there is no significance to the homophone – it is certainly coincidence.

July 8th*

*Numerical sequences <?>

December 1st is correct… but why?

I’m still undecided whether to give hok0003 the whole point or a half without explanation :P

Puzzle 8:

Taking a punt at 18.

hok should get the whole point becuase you never asked for why in the post where the riddle was/is.

I didn’t work for long at this, but I’m winging the bat with 120. A minute or two should get the job done … maybe.

I think there’s only 8.
You can either have

RRRRGGGG
RRRGGGRG
RRRGGRGG
RRGGRRGG
RRGGGRRG
RRGGRGRG
RRGRGGRG
RGRGRGRG

and all other combinations are either rotations or reflections of these.

8 is correct! And I’ve decided to give hok the point as long as anyone can say why it’s December 1st.

RRRGRGGG.

Same as the second one (RRRGGGRG)

Do we get points for saying why, or just hok? Because I sense a conflict of interest.

5th letter of January is A
6th letter of December is B
4th letter of March is C
1st letter of December is D

Holy shit.

Wowzers. I was counting days between them in different year, looking at holidays, and doing some wacky number nonsense to that. Sucks to suck.
