Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
With a potentially endless numbers of association possible in the maverick mind of varying degrees of obscurity, I wonder if your thinking has turned to Base 2 today, and its representation of the decimal 682 being thus...mickthemaverick wrote: ↑10 Oct 2023, 16:39 A little brain teaser I've just dreamed up!!

1010101010
Today being 1010 (DDMM) elicits some connection between 682 and todays day/month

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Well fathomed Neil I was indeed thinking of a moment this morning when Jim's clocks would have recorded that very number!! A second either way and you would miss the point!!

Many ran 10Km on the 10th day of the 10th month yesterday...NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑10 Oct 2023, 17:46 Today being 1010 (DDMM) elicits some connection between 682 and todays day/month
Just to be different, I ran 12Km on the 11th day of the 10th month instead...

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
First one I wouldn't have got was K, then Q, V, X, and Z may even have struggled with L so round about the same.
They used five of them on the Pointless episode broadcast today. I got the "U" I like a stamp and they make a nice colourful collection.
