Hello, Gotta Pixel! Are you having the time of your life this month? There's so much going on here, it's crazy! :D

Since November is our birthday month, how great it would be if we could really grow this game! Please help us out by telling your online friends about this game. They don't even need to be digital scrappers (but I'll bet we might snag a few :-D). Anyone who enjoys math challenges just might want to see this thread. Please send this link to them and ask them to join us:

November is our month to celebrate, so with that theme in mind, I've created 0-9 to match my brand new kit, Celebrate (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/../store/product.php?productid=25118&cat=0&page=1)! If you play the game every week this month, you'll get the full alpha at the end of the month!

On Sale:
Celebrate!is 30% off for the full month of November! It's perfect for scrapping all of life's celebration times!

Share in this thread:
We're having fun getting to know each other better here and commenting in this thread when we solve the puzzles. This week tell us one of the other special activities you have participated in this week at Gotta Pixel (or one you're going to play).

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 2 free kits of the winners' choice. We have so many new people here this weekend that I decided we'd have a special drawing just for those of you who are playing this game for the very first time. :dance3 So, if this is the first time you're playing, please let Terry know when you send her your answer and she'll mark "new" by your name. Then at the end of the month, I'll draw 2 names rather than 1! What fun to get an extra free kit just for solving a math puzzle! 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.

Clues:

1. It is a 6-digit whole number.

2. It is an odd number.

3. The sum of all of the digits is 28.

4. The ones digit is two less than the ten-thousands digit.

5. The ten-thousands digit is the sum of the tens digit, the hundreds digit, and the hundred-thousands digit.

6. All digits are prime except the ten-thousands digit and the tens digit.

7. The tens digit is the square of the hundred-thousands digit.

8. The thousands digit is the square root of the ten-thousands digit.

9. The thousands digit and the hundreds digit are the same.

10. The hundred-thousands digit is one less than the thousands digit.

11. The tens digit is one greater than the hundreds digit.

How my students solve these puzzles: 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 (http://www.gottapixel.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28950)out to see what I mean.

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!

Sending an answer your way, Terry. I've done both challenges, and gone to 2 speed scraps, and won a kit and made 2 LOs for Kristmess. I've spent a lot of time here the last couple of weeks-more than usual.

I have actually done quite a bit at GP this week, including a couple of speed scraps & 2 of the scrap challenges in the birthday thread.

Sending my answer now.

Sent in my guess. Things have been a bit crazy around here (just life :) ) so I haven't had a chance to do any of the challenges lately.

I am participating in the birthday brag book, and running out of time.
Great kits and I love making brag books.

I used to be really good at number puzzles, but it looks like I am a bit rusty. I did it though! I am also doing the Birthday bragbook challenge. Good thing someone else here was doing it too so they could remind me!
