Title: CALENDAR CUBES 1 - The answer
Post by slaverstudent on Jan 25^th, 2010, 9:19am

Hi Riddlers,

I just discovered the wu : riddles site, and this is my first post here. so not sure of the right process.
Anyway, I did a search for "CALENDAR" which returned no results, so I can only assume no one has bothered to solve any of those ones yet.

So to cut to the chase...my solution for CALENDAR CUBES 1 (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/riddles/hard.shtml#calendarCubes1) is:

CUBE 1 : 0,1,2,3,5,7
CUBE 2 : 0,1,2,4,6,8

So, you're wondering... "where's the nine, how does he do the 9th, 19th, 29th of the month".

So riddle me this: "What's a 6 if you turn it on it's head?"
(That's the "SLY" trick)

I do think this one should have been in the EASY basket. I can't believe no-one's solved it already.

;)

You need to set the Max Age option to the maximum before searching, otherwise it will not search in the threads older than one year.

You are not the first one to think that. :)

OK, thanks. I didn't see a Max Age option. (I guess my maths is a bit better than my reading! ;D
