Default Re: A harder problem...one for GoT

No daryn, he's right.

Let's say the sums of all the other numerical questions besides Q1 add up to zero. Then we could make Q1 anything we wanted. It still could not be negative because of Q8, and I believe it would still have to be the largest numerical answer possible because of a combination of other questions, but it could be, say 36. 5 other numbers that add to zero plus 36 = 36. No need to repeat. It works. We both thought it had to be zero or infinity first because after we added it to itself, it woudl turn out to be something different and then it would be incorrect, but in this case it isn't; it's the same number and therefore an acceptable answer.

I still have issues with this quiz and think there is an error unless Q10 can have both a numberical answer and a T or F answer, in which case I have a solution for all answers.

Could you PM me your solutions aloiz so I can see if they get around the contradictions I'm finding? I'm done trying this quiz the way it's currently worded.
