Darryl Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 OK - Jos wanted to see what it is like to be on the other side so here is his chance. I have collected a wide range of coins from all over the world. CLUES Not all coins have been minted in all 10 possible years (Big clue there!) Strangely enough, no zeros and 2's to be found. The sum of all numbers together ends in 5 (so for example 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+2=15) The sum is a total between 45 and 75. No numbers are the same next to each other One coin should be very obvious - don't give it away if you get it. Last Clue and this is HUGE - All of the correct numbers have been used. PRIZE What you see is what you get. This is going to take a little time to figure out. If after 1 week, no one has it solved the code, the person with the most right on any one guess will win. If there is a tie, I will draw the winner from a hat. Contest ends next Sunday at noon, no matter what. Your answers must be in by noon each day and only one guess per day. You can edit your answer right up until I say I am checking the answers. Good Luck Everyone - Hey Vfox - come join the fun if you are board Darryl Guesses: 0/14 42537629457654 1/14 12345678912359 4/14 43434654741235 5/14 45314275577237 47513574349337 6/14 48414576894726 7/14 45414574575437 46313874378137 15413574361735 71413574873537 8/14 69414874384737 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Sorry for the delay on the answers - I was at an auction all morning Unfortunately it was not a coin auction and did not get what I was looking for. Did pick up a nice 1921 Large Great Britain Penny though at an antique shop on my way home. Price and condition were very good Good Luck Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 You scare me - half right on the first guess 7/14 Great try!!! Now you have to figure out which half. Good Luck Darryl Rats! - pure luck, and I have absolutely no idea which ones are right! That reminds me of a joke about a guy who has 10 locks on his door, but only locks 5 of them. That way, he figures a burgler will be locking one lock for every one he/she unlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Did pick up a nice 1921 Large Canadian Penny though at an antique shop on my way home. Price and condition were very good The last Canadian Large cent was 1920. I'm hoping you didn't really get a 1921 Canadian large cent, although that would make for one neat counterfeit!
