Announcement! Big News! Starting this week, I'll have a partner helping me with this activity. You all know imangel! I've asked her to help me a bit here, and she's graciously agreed. :dance2 So welcome, Angel, and thank you in advance!

Starting with this puzzle, you'll now be sending your answer by Private Message to imangel instead of to me. She'll be sending out the Good Work notes and the monthly prize and also posting your names in this thread. I'll continue to post a new game every Saturday, and of course I'm not going to stop making numerals for you. :smile:

Here's how it works. Just figure out the puzzle, send your PM to imangel with the right answer, and you'll get a full set of numerals 0-9. This time I've made them using Atomic Cupcake's pretty painted wood action. :arrow:

I've made this set of numerals to match my new kit, American Lily (http://www.gottapixel.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=647). Click on the preview below to go straight to the kit in the store and see examples of this pretty kit in use.

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 imangel 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.

Try writing 3 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)

Clues:

It is a three-digit whole number.

It is not an odd number

It has only two prime divisors that are less than 10.

It is not divisible by 5.

The sum of its digits is 14.

It is greater than 252.

It is less than 280.

It has no odd digits.

I sure hope all of you continue to play. What fun it is to see the list grow in this thread. Let’s see how active we can make this game! 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: Thanks for playing every week, and thanks again, Angel!

Thank you, Angel, for taking such good care of this thread. That's quite a list of winners ~ some new ones, too! Good for you! The correct answer was 266.

We'd love to see you come back and play every week for fun. I'll bet we can make the list even longer this next week :) <<HERE (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16369)>> is a shiny new puzzle for you.

when I saw this week's posted, I realized that I missed last week! So, I had to find this thread and carefully go to the first post. I solved it then had to come here to check my answer.

Not sure if it was just me, but this one seemed to take a bit more thinking then most - but I LOVE that!!!

Thanks ladies for keeping our brains active. :D
