Really difficult puzzles re-posted

[Daij]

Hi Quizzers
I have posted a lot of ‘hard’ puzzles lately and these have proved problematic. In fact, nobody got these right. I thought I’d repost them in one posting to see if you can get your heads around these or maybe for the benefit of puzzle fans who missed them the first time around.

1. In a game of golf a ball costs £3.00, a club costs £34.50 and a driver costs £206.64
How much will a wood cost?

2. How and where can “A” equal one whilst “I” equals two and “R” equals two whilst “V” equals three?

3. If, for a reason other than distance, Adelaide is 2114 miles away and Alexandria is 1359 and if Hobart is 2148 miles away whilst Malta is 1258, how far is Stockholm?

4. If you are in Ipswich but according to your map it is only one mile to Chelsea and sixteen miles to Yarmouth, can you tell me why?

5. You have twenty five numbers. You have to arrange them in a five by five square in such a way that each horizontal, vertical and the two main diagonal rows total exactly twenty.

Here are the numbers;
Two ones.
Five twos
Six threes
One four
Four fives
Five sixes
One seven
One nine

6. If you draw a nine by nine square, thus giving yourself eight one small squares in total; how many rectangles can you count in total?

Good luck

Not sure what you are wanting here. Usually on Answerbank people want answers that they cannot work out themselves. Instead you have the answers but want us to guess at them to test out if we are clever enough to solve them. I think if you know the answers then you dont need Answerbank.

And I posted a comment on your 9x9 cube problem but you never acknowledged it. BTW, then as now, it should read eighty one small squares.

I don't know the answers, I had 60 odd of these, most of which i could work out but these I decided to share. I enjoyed doing them and i thought other Answerbank users may - Sorry prudie, I missed your response

[grasscarp]

Hang on you said nobody got them right. How do you know if you dont actually have the answers. Am I missing something here.

if golf = fi‡·—‰ÌÓ, and the ball = ªª7•••=ºººº¢∞, then the barrel = ÊËı◊Ò”ÅÅÅÈÓ
hope that helps

I can't see the problem with posting questions like this, even if the asker DOES know the answers.

[Daij]

Grasscrap - yes you are missing something - basic cognition skills. It doesn't mean that because I don't know the answers at the beginning that I am not able to ascertain from the answers I am given whether they are correct or not!
Thank you Ichkeria, I did state on some earlier posts that I would posat some that I knew the answer to because some people enjoy doing them - I was trying to be nice.
I don't think you are trying to be nice grasscarp, I guess you are just looking for an argument and I won't rise to your bait. I will not respond to any more of your pointless snipes.

Methyl - I investigated that one, but the distances do not tie up - I think that Chelsea was 26 miles from Ipswich and Yarnmouth was 103 or something like that. Thanks for responding.

[grasscarp]

Daij, I really am not looking for an argument. I gathered (wrongly as you have now explained) that you do have the answers already. Sorry to raise my concern, but I really thought that you were just setting these for fun as has happened in the past on here. I sincerely hope that you get the correct answers.

[grasscarp]

I too had looked at Massachusetts but saw the distances did not match the question.

[Prudie]

Ok my first attempt ate the 9x9 square is 1708 rectangles in total

Great stuff Prudie
