Hi, Puzzle Fans! Do I have some glittery numerals for you!

This month the prize is a set of numerals that were made to coordinate with my newest page set, Golden Goddess. Just send in the right answer to one of the August 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!

On Sale:
I have a beautiful new golden set ready for you. However, I'm staying in the hospital with my husband as he's recuperating from major back surgery. I'm getting a weak connection from time to time from here, so it may be a few days before I can get the sets below added to the store. (Uploading products takes a good connection. :-)) As soon as I can load products though, the full page kit, Golden Goddess, will be on sale for only $3! That's 50% off the full price. It's a gorgeous elegant set you'll love to use to make beautiful pages.

Golden Goddess has been added to the store ~ 50% off ~ HERE (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=24044&cat=0&page=1)!

When Golden Goddess gets to the store, I'll also be adding Caroline! She's the 3rd in the Kathryn's Cuties Paperdoll Series. She's a fancy girl, all dressed in gold and pearls, and her clothes perfectly fit both of the other dolls already in the store, Lizzy and Kim-Li.

She's all ready to go now HERE (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=24045&cat=0&page=1). Hope you have fun with her!

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 numerals once during the month, make sure to come back each week and continue playing.

Bonus Prizes:
If you like these numerals, make sure to play over and over this month. Every person who turns in the right answer every week this month will win the full 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 an even number.

3. The sum of all 5 digits is 18.

4. The ones digit is the sum of the hundreds and the thousands digit.

5. The ten-thousands digit is the cube root of the ones digit.

6. The hundreds digit is the sum of the ten-thousands digit and the thousands digit.

7. All 5 digits are different.

8. There is one zero in this 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!

Ladies, Kathryn asked me to let you know that she has been unable to load the numerals to the site. Her husband had back surgery yesterday, and he is having a rough time. She is staying there with him at the hospital. The internet connection has been unreliable, so she hasn't been able to load the numerals and give me a link. As soon as she is able to do so, I will send the link to all who have sent me the correct answer. Until then, please just send me your answers and know that the link will be coming to you as soon as possible. Also, it will be several days before Kathryn's husband will be released from the hospital, so getting the free bonus kit out to a winner will also be delayed. I'm sure you will all agree with me that her first priority right now should be her husband. Please be patient and know that Kathryn is doing everything in her power to take care of these things as quickly as possible. We both thank all of you for continuing to play the game, and we hope that you enjoy it.

Terry,
You have mail. no worries about getting things to us. We know you will when you can! We will be very patient.
Kathryn, praying for a quick recovery for your husband. Do not worry about things here. Family first!

Kathryn, hope your husband heals quickly - my DH has had 3 back surgeries so I can understand what you are going through.

Thank you, Terry, and everyone for your sweet words and for your thoughts and prayers. Mscrafts8, I can't imagine 3 back surgeries! I surely hope he's doing well now!

This is going to be a long haul - possibly up to 9 months in the brace and bone stimulator apparatus, depending on what x-rays show along the way. We spent some time getting the house ready so he could work without bending over and make it around with a walker for a while, and we're hoping to go home on Monday or maybe Tuesday. He's had a really hard time with the pain, but he's resting right now. I'm so thankful for those resting times!

Enjoy the game and the site, and I'll be back soon! :)

Kathryn, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. WE are on the other side of my husbands 3 surgeries so things are looking up - it just takes time (and a lot of effort!) By the way the walker makes a nice high shelf for plates with a board thru the side rails!

Hey Kathryn, I will put you and your dear husband in my prayers. I hope you will both be blessed with peace and healing that he needs, and the comfort in knowing this too shall pass.

Kathryn, you shouldn't be thinking about anything else but your husband at a time like this. Know that there are a ton of people here praying for both of you. Numbers can wait!!! Praying that the pain is lessening with each passing hour and the recovery will be swifter than anticipated.

You're all so sweet, and it means so much to me and to Robert that you've been praying for him. We're home now, and he's doing much better. How thankful we are for advances in science, skillful hands, and friends like you!

Golden Goddess (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=24044&cat=0&page=1) and Caroline (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=24045&cat=0&page=1)are both in the store now. :)

Thank you! Since so many of you have extended your good wishes for Robert's recovery, I thought I'd post here. We've been home now for 3 days, and he's walking a lot around the house. He's slow and careful, but his pain level today is down to 4, so we're thrilled! It surely isn't fun getting old! :)

I'm loving how the list of players grows so fast here! Keep it up! :)
