What fun we're all having here this month! We love seeing so many people playing our little game each week. This is the last week of this month's game, so Terry will be sending those of you who have played every week the full alpha in a couple of days (as soon as I get it zipped and uploaded). :)

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. We'd love to read about a party you had or attended for someone special.

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 5-digit whole number.

2. The number is divisible by 5 and 3 but not by 2 or 4.

3. The hundreds digit is the cube root of the tens digit.

4. The ten-thousands digit is one greater than the tens digit.

5. The sum of the 5 different digits is 24.

6. There is one zero in this number.

How my students solve these puzzles: 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.

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!

What a darling layout, Barbara! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Come on, ladies, let's see some more layouts using the numerals. It will give you an additional chance to win the free bonus kit of your choice from Kathryn's shop. Barbara has been amazing...she's submitted four layouts this month!

Great layout, Marcia! I really like it. There is still a week left for you to get your layouts posted using the numerals for this month. I hope to see some more posted.

Many years ago, my husband worked with a wonderful man who was going to be celebrating his 56th birthday. He was a security guard, and everyone at the company just loved him. He had never had a birthday party in his entire life, so we had a surprise birthday party for him at our home. I made a nice buffet dinner and, of course, a birthday cake. He was so surprised, and talked about that party for many years afterwards. It was such a great feeling to see how his eyes lit up and how happy he was that his friends would have a party for him.

Here is the list of winners for the week so far:

Her's another LO using the numerals. I am working on one of these for each month. Just appears better to me than just writing names. Helps with my memory too, now the family and friends are ever increasing !

Inspired by Kathryn's wedding day layout, I did one of my own !!!! It was another use of the celebration numerals too. My 'professional photo's were in Black and White, colour was too expensive in those days. This is one my brother had taken. Sadly it was the last ever photo of my Dad (back row, second from left) he died within 12 months of this being taken at the age of 57........ Oh yes, Elaine and I have changed a bit since then too ;D

Awesome layouts, ladies. I so enjoy seeing how creative all of you are with the numerals and the alphas. Thank you for sharing your layouts with us.
