Yay! It's April! :dance3 It's springtime! What a wonderful time of the year!
It's getting warmer now, and the kit I chose to feature this month has sweet springtime flowers and lots of fun elements.

If you get even one answer right this month, Terry will send you the numerals you see below. Solve all the Fun Funky Mystery Numbers this month and get the full alpha at the end of the month!

On Sale:
Adorable and sweet, this springy kit is full of dolls and darling elements. You'll find enough to scrap a full book of photos for the little girls in your life.

All 3 Giggles & Gumdrops (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/search.php?mode=search&substring=giggles+and+gumdrops&including=all&by_title=on&manufacturers[0]=25) sets shown below are 50% off all this month! Click an image to find them in the store.

AND...

I'm one of the Spotlight Designers this month, so my entire store (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=25) is 30% off all month!

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. A new game comes out every Saturday. Every person who turns in the right answer every week this month will win all 3 alphabets!

Also, at the end of each month, I'll be giving away 2 free kits of the winners' choice. We love our new players, so we've 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, square roots, or any of those things we haven't thought about since math class.

Clues:

1. It is a 5-digit whole number.

2. The sum of the 5 different digits is 26.

3. The sum of the hundreds and the tens digits is twice the ten-thousands digit.

4. The thousands digit is half of the tens digit.

5. The ones digit is twice the hundreds digit.

6. The tens digit is two greater than the hundreds digit and two less than the ones digit.

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.

To invite your math friends to join us, you can send them this link...

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!

My guess is on its way. I didn't see your guessing thread soon enough to participate in it - <sigh> - but I wouldn't have guessed correctly. These are lovely numerals again.

These are just so impossible for me. I have some sort of ld that keeps me from doing math like this, especially the word problems. Just letting you know I was here and checked it out anyway. It is so wonderful that you can fly through math like this. Have fun!
