1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...all no. There was one correct answer, but it was on the wrong line

[BillGeek]

This one should be reasonably easy:

Back in the year 1936, people born in 1892 were able to make an unusual mathematical boast, a boast that people born in 1980 will be able to make at some time during the 21st century.

John Stuart Mill, the English philosopher and economist, would also have been able to make the same boast, had he noticed it.

Given that he was born in the 19th century, can you tell me in which year he was born?

2) Which country makes Panama hats?
Ecuador

6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal?
Dogs

[space_monkey]

mmmmmmmmmmm dough nuts mmmmmmmm :drool:

[bushmobile]

This one should be reasonably easy:

using the power of reading isn't the answer just 1892...

[BillGeek]

Before or after the crash

[space_monkey]

The reason its called a black box is due to the fact that after a crash its burnt and blackened. Prior to the crash its a bright florescent orange color.

[BillGeek]

using the power of reading isn't the answer just 1892...

Hmmm... I'm not sure... got this somewhere on the web. Well, this is the solution, which doesn't make much sense to me as there ARE two possibilities for the 19th century...

John Stuart Mill was born in 1806.

In 1936, people born in 1892 turned 44, which is the square root of 1936. Years that are exact squares are rare enough: 422 = 1764, 432 = 1849, 442 = 1936 and 452 = 2025. The last of these does correspond to the same pattern for people born in 2025-45 = 1980, whereas 1849-43 gives 1806 as the only possible answer for a birthdate in the 19th century.

The "unusual boast" which John Stuart Mill could have made when he turned 43 (in 1849) was to have an age whose square was the current year.

I did not know that...
sessi4ml... is that the right answer you were referring to in the wrong position?

[sessi4ml]

Black box, from my answer sheet, yes..orange...so they could find it.
As one comic stated, why don't they make the whole plane from the same material of the black box, then the whole plane would surive the crash.

The first question got me thinking about how to write a Encoder/Decoder. Here is mine

Option Explicit
'Text1 = Text to be encoded/Decoded
'Text2 = Output
'cmdDecode = Command Button To Decode
'cmdEncode =Command Button To Encode
Private Sub cmdDecode_Click()
    Dim iLoop As Long
    Dim i As Long
    Dim iLen As Long
    Dim sOut As String
    
    Dim strLeft As String
    
    strLeft = Replace(Text1.Text, " ", "")
    iLen = Len(strLeft)
    i = 1
    While Len(strLeft) > 0
        i = i + 4
        Checki i, Len(strLeft)
        sOut = sOut & RemoveLetter(strLeft, i)
        strLeft = Replace(strLeft, " ", "")
    Wend
    Text2.Text = sOut
End Sub
Private Function RemoveLetter(strLeft As String, i As Long) As String
    RemoveLetter = Mid$(strLeft, i, 1)
    
    Mid$(strLeft, i, 1) = " "
End Function
 
 
Private Sub cmdEncode_Click()
    Dim sDecStr As String
    Dim sNewStr As String
    Dim iLoop As Long, sLet As String, i As Long, iLen As Long
    
    sDecStr = Replace(Text1.Text, " ", "")
    iLen = Len(sDecStr)
    sNewStr = String$(iLen, "-")
    Dim x As Long, iLet As Long
    i = 1
    For iLoop = 1 To iLen
 
        sLet = vbNullString
        x = 0
        While x < 5
            iLet = i + x
            Checki iLet, iLen
            sLet = Mid$(sNewStr, iLet, 1)
            If sLet <> "-" Then
                i = i + 1
            Else
                x = x + 1
            End If
        Wend
        
        i = i + x - 1
        Checki i, iLen
        Mid$(sNewStr, i, 1) = Mid$(sDecStr, iLoop, 1)
    Next
    Text2.Text = sNewStr
End Sub
 
Private Sub Checki(i As Long, iLen As Long)
    i = i Mod (iLen)
    If i = 0 Then i = iLen
End Sub
