Hi! Thanks for the warm welcome you gave Terry! I'm so excited she's working with me now and what a job she's doing already!

In case you didn't read this last week...
Woohoo! I have a new cohost! Many of you already know Terry who goes by withnuts. She'll now be moderating this game and sending the links and passwords to you when you send her the right answer. So give a big welcome to Terry!

This month the prize is a set of number frames cut from wrinkled paper, and they'll look great with just about any kit. Just send in the right answer to one of the June puzzles, and you'll get them for FREE! O0 Send in the right answer every week, and you'll get the full matching alpha at the end of the month!

http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/local_resize.php?linkid=5087&size=0 (http://javascript%3cb%3e%3c/b%3E:void%280%29;)

How to play:
Just figure out the one right answer to the puzzle, send a PM to withnuts (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=9480) with the right answer, and she'll send you a link to a zip file which includes a full set of numerals 0-9. The file is password protected, so she'll give you the password, too. :) Even though you'll only win the number frames once during the month, make sure to come back each week and continue playing.

Bonus Prizes:
If you like these number frames, make sure to play over and over this month. Every person who turns in the right answer every week this month will win frames with every letter of the alphabet!

Also, at the end of each month, I'll be giving away a free kit of the winner's choice. The more you play, the better your chances of winning. ^-^ Also, creating layouts with the number frames and posting links to your layouts in this thread increases your chances.

(Team members, please continue to play as always, and you can still win the numerals and the full alpha, but the free kit will go to someone not on the Gotta Pixel team.)

Click *HERE* (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6184) for basic information.

For this puzzle, you might want to read *MY HINTS PAGE* (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28949). Check the hints if you're not sure about prime numbers.

Try writing 5 lines on your paper and putting possible numbers under each. Mark out numbers as you go ‘til you get the answer. Check THIS (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28950)out to see what I mean.

Clues:

1. It is a 5-digit whole number.

2. It is not divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

3. The sum of all 5 digits is 19.

4. The value of the digits are in descending order from left to right. (The ten-thousands digit is the largest of the 5 different digits, the thousands digit is the next largest, etc. The ones digit is the smallest.)

5. The ones digit is half of the tens digit.

6. The tens digit is half of the hundreds digit.

7. The ten-thousands digit is a prime number.

When you solve the puzzle, send Terry a Private Message with your answer. Click withnuts (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=9480) to send. 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 post another one next Saturday.

Terry and I hope all of you come back to play each week, and send your friends here as well! Let's sharpen those brain cells while we have fun AND get a little reward in the process! :grin: Thanks for being part of the fun here at Gotta Pixel!

Am I crazy or are hints 1 and 3 in conflict with each other?

If this is a "5-digit whole number" (Hint #1) how can I have a "hundred-thousands" digit?

I'm guessing it should read:

clue #3 - The sum of all 5 digits is 19.
clue #7 - The ten-thousands digit is a prime number.

Kathryn or Terry will let us know for sure what the clues are. :)

I've already calculated my guess but I'm just waiting for "hints" confirmation.

I was thinking I read it wrong also or that Kathryn knew something about numbers that I didn't know. lol. Maybe she wants to know if we are paying attention!rofl

my thoughts about the clues agree with Laura's (terebinthtree) and so I sent my guess based on that.

I'm so glad you guys love me (or at least this game). As hard as I try, I seem to make mistakes too often in the clues. Yikes! I just started having Terry help me, and I've goofed both weeks! I do think they're all correct now. Goodness! Ducking from all those wet noodles!
