So happy to see so many people playing even after they've gotten the prize! Thank you so much! We've even have brave new souls here every week testing the waters. :D They come back for more, too! Warning... This week's puzzle is BIG! ... not hard, just big. ;D

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. This puzzle will go through the week, and I'll put up another one next weekend.

Clues:

It is an eight-digit whole number.

It has only four different digits, each used twice.

The sum of all of its different digits is 6.

It is divisible by 4. (Go read the divisibility rules. This is easier than it looks.)

It is divisible by 10.

It is greater than 33,000,000.

Its thousands digit is the same as its ones digit.

Its hundred-thousands digit is the same as its tens digit.

Its hundreds digit is 1.

Try writing 8 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:

Sent in my reply - I did start at the bottom, but I read the 100,000 as a thousand - yeeeeesh:) and could not make it divisible by 4. But I think I got now:)

It seems I'm pushing the envelope this evening, so I'll get a new puzzle and new numerals out to you all tomorrow. Stay tuned for another fun puzzle really soon. :)

This means this one is still up for grabs. Last chance to get these numerals 'cause a new set is on its way.
