| ?ÿ | 5 friends live in the same road A, B, C, D, E. The numbers of B, C, D when multiplied together equals 1260. The numbers B,C, D when added equal twice E??s number, and is even. A??s number is half as much again as E??s. The road numbers run from 2 to 222. What are the 5 house numbers? |

Hello Christ!
Good morning (or afternoon to you) Put the memes up early today because I had to get up earlier than usual to watch the F1 race in Russia!

I must say that I agree about sitting on the tailgate of my pickup truck.

The prime factors of 1260 are 2, 2, 5, 7, and 9, so B,C,D must be taken from those or their products, using each factor exactly once.
If one of them is 2, then you can't make two others so the sum is even.
A=1.5 E?ÿ
Then I can find 5 combinations for B,C,D that sum to even E
4+5+63 =72, E=36, A=54
4+7+45 =56, E=28, A=42
4+9+35 =48, E=24, A=36
5+7+36 =48, E=24, A=36
and a combination that gives an E but not A
5+9+28 =42, E=21no integer A
I wouldn't guarantee I found all combinations.

I don??t have a clue as to what the answer is. It??s up there for y??all to fight about.
Now let??s cut to the chase and solve the first question. ?????ÿ
2,3,4,5,6,7 and 9 will work but not all of the combination after each of those will work for them to sum to an even number.?ÿ It appears that A,B,C,D,E are not in numerical order as A will always be larger than B and C and E
2,3,4,5,6,7 and 9 will work but not all of the combination after each of those will work for them to sum to an even number.
Yeah, I didn't split the 9 into a pair of 3's. Duh. Not awake yet, I guess. So there may be a lot more answers.
Since the answer isn't unique, I'm not really motivated at the moment to find all possibilities.
Not sure about the numbers, but I like that turkey?ÿ recipe!
@flga-2
One of the possible answers is A 36, B 4, C 9, D 35 and E 24.?ÿ But that is not the only possible solution.
The answer to the first question among the memes is:
Hey Soos
As in the character portrayed by this actor on Rawhide.
Ans: A 36, B 4, C 9, D 35, E 24.
DUDE you WON. For your prize send me $200 shipping charge to receive your BRAND NEW PRIZE!!!!!!

Hey, I gave 4 correct answers before he gave one. (order of B, C, and D don't matter)?ÿ But I'm a nice guy, so I'll let him claim the prize.
I'm a nice guy too so each of just send $100 and I'll send EACH of you a BRAND NEW PRIZE!!!!!!

@flga-2
The $100 sounds better.?ÿ But you gotta pay the shipping and let me do the handling.?ÿ That is, I'm assuming the BRAND NEW PRIZE is a real cutie roughly one-third my age.
Well, since y??all played nice, here is a sneak peek of the GRAND PRIZE!!!!!!!!
AS soon as I get her deflated she??ll be heading your way!!!!!
(as soon as I get my hundred bucks)
