[KathrynMhire]

I wish I could write it in Dutch for you, but I don't remember very much. Lived there in the 80's. Man, that was a long time ago!

[KathrynMhire]

Lived in Wassenaar and traveled all over the Netherlands and most of Europe. It was an incredible experience.

Just found this (like 2 minutes ago) and had to do it! I LOVE playing with numbers - always have - but math style, not lottery or such. :D

I love these kind of games.
Scrabble is my favorite board game. Can't get anyone to play with me:-[

[musicmarth]

Yahooie! I got it right!

My husband just shook his head at me last night when I told him I was trying to figure out a number puzzle. I had a bad experience in 7th grade math so my brain says I hate math (and I married a math major!)...but I love puzzles and I'm ready for the next one!

Thanks Kathryn!

[sarahb]

My husband just shook his head at me last night when I told him I was trying to figure out a number puzzle.

I'm so proud of all of the winners this week. We had 29 who answered correctly. Let's get over 30 this next time! If you played and have already received the prize for Oct., you can still play the game! I'd like to see how many can answer each week. Hopefully the number will grow every week, and you'll see how much fun math can be. I'm proud most of all to those of you who told me in your private messages or this thread that math has always been hard for you and that you didn't know it could be fun! That's so cool! Play again! You can do it!

The answer for this week was 2541.

[SavannahGirl]

The challenge is over but I had fun finding the number.

[DeeZee]

Man, I keep looking at the past weeks and solving them ... I'm silly!

[beethovengrandma]

I found two of the math puzzles and printed them for my granddaughter. How and where can I find more? It seems like a good to help the children do puzzles.

[little dragon]

forgot about this game! just sent you my guess
