Wow! Can you believe it's April already? I was so proud of all the new people who came out to play last month. Sure hope you're back for some more number fun here. I had to get a new prize put together before I could get this next puzzle up, but it's ready to go now. I decided to go right along with my Bodacious Borders sets since you're getting the daily downloads from the Add-On (http://www.gottapixel.net/images/DS/Kathryn_GPAprilSpotlightKit.jpg) this month. This time the prize is number words made onto stickers. How cute they'll be on a page with a child to show how old he is!

Please see the sticky for the basic information http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6184 (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6184)

and this link for hints you might need.

For this puzzle, you might want to read my hints page and brush up on your divisibility rules. Remember if you figure it out, send me a Private Message with your answer. Do not reveal the answer in this thread as that will end the game for the week. Everyone who gets the right answer and sends it to me between now and Friday night (4-6-07) will get these Fun Funky Numerals.

Clues:

It is a six!-digit whole number.

One-third of its digits are 8s.

Two-thirds of its digits are 6s.

It is not divisible by 4.

It is a palindrome.

Its thousands digit is different from its ones digit.

It is not divisible by 3.

It is less than 800,000.

Its tens digit is the same as its ones digit.

Its hundreds digit is 8.

Try writing 6 lines on your paper and putting possible numbers under each. Mark out numbers as you go ‘til you get the answer. Check this out to see what I mean: http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/24614/cat/500/ppuser/5668 (http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/24614/cat/500/ppuser/5668)

I sure hope all of you continue to play. I love getting those PMs and bragging about you in this thread. Let’s see how active we can make this thread! The puzzles are great, but it's YOU, the players, who make it work! I want to give these Fun Funky Numerals away!

Oh, if you do use the Fun Funky Numerals in a LO, please post it in our gallery and put a link back here. We'd all love to see what you're making, and we don't want to miss a layout!

Have a Funky Good Time with this puzzle! :grin:

You should have more mail! Is it normal that you have more clues than are needed? I got the answer and just used the last few clues to check it :)

Kanga - some weeks I need all the clues... but most weeks, a few are just to check (at least for me)

That's the case most of the time, Kanga. You'll need to start seeing how few you'll need to solve each one now. :) Good job, Sarah!

So that makes four!
