Get your pencil ready for this one. Ya' gotta think! :)
I post a new math puzzle every Saturday, you figure it out, and you win numerals. If you play every week, you'll get the full matching alpha at the end of the month. You can continue to play through Saturday evening even if I've posted the next puzzle early in the day. :arrow:
I've got brand new numerals for you that match my BearySweets in the Cornfield kit. Of course I have it on sale this month. In fact, ALL of my BearySweet sets (http://www.gottapixel.net/store/search.php?mode=search&substring=bearysweets&including=all&manufacturers[0]=25&by_title=Y) are ON SALE 50% off for all of October!
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! Please read the rules, especially about not posting the answer in this thread. :arrow: Jump in and have fun!

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. :arrow: 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 the full alphabet!
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! 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.)

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 all 5 digits is 15.
3. The ten-thousands digit and the thousands digit form a 2-digit number that is the square of the sum of the tens and the ones digits.
4. The thousands digit is the sum of the ones and the hundreds digit.
5. The ten-thousands digit is the same as the ones digit.
6. The tens digit is the same as the hundreds digit.
7. The ones digit is one less than the hundreds 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. We would like you to post in this thread though that you're playing, and if this is your first time to play, this game, let Terry know when you post. This puzzle will go through the week, and I'll post another one next Saturday.
