Correct! It was simple, I know.

The more of them you make, the more you leave behind.

What are they?

Footprints?

Footsteps?

Yeh, you got it taters! You got it super quick too. Me and others were puzzling over it for ages!

(Bad luck jeelius! )

Yes, wherever can it be?



@Taters: Come on, give as riddle to make our brains steam!

To get this started again, what do you get when you multiply 34 and 56? Think about it.

A number.

We get their product - 1904. For instance, it may be year 1904.

Hmmm. The answer is a bit vague, so I'll give a clue. Notice how I worded it. Don't over think it.

12 and 30???
Or does it have something to do with the numbers being sequential?

Maybe 3456? Or 360?

(Hope we're not just allowed one answer! Lol)

Those are creative guesses, but the answer is still much simpler. In fact, the answer should end in a question mark.

Hmmm, is it.......

34and56? ?

i.e : (3x4xaxnxdx5x6x?)

Even simpler.

?

This puzzle is so simple that it is really hard!

Think of the vocabulary. What is it I literally said? Anything catch your eye? Be picky. There is no secret message or anything. Read it as it is.

Now that I think of it, it looks like you don't multiply them by each other, but multiply each of them by something else separately. Maybe multiply each number by itself?

"What do you get when you multiply 34 and 56?"

Moeboid had the answer I was looking for. I would have also accepted a simple "by?" Your turn, Moeboid.

A technician has laid an data cable containing 120 individual wires underground. Once the work is complete, he notices that the individual wires, which are usually identified by a unique number printed on the insulation every few inches, are not marked at all. With no way of identifying each wire visually, he is faced with either digging up the old cable and running a new one, or coming up with a way to identify them some other way. At his disposal is a single battery and a single light bulb. The ends are two kilometres apart and he must walk between them. After pondering the problem for a while, he comes up with a method in which he can identify them all without walking too far. What is the minimum walking distance, and how does he achieve it?

Do all the wires have different purposes? If so,



I'm not sure how he could specify beyond that.

Basically, if one side of the light bulb is connected to the + on the battery, and the other side to the -, whether directly, or via one/some wires, the bulb will light up. It will not light up under any other circumstances. The technician can use this information to label the wires. I'm looking for the minimum distance that he has to walk in order to label all the wires correctly, and how he achieves this.

The wires don't light up the bulb, the battery does. The wires only transport the energy from the battery to the light bulb. Simply connecting wires to the light bulb will do nothing unless there is a battery involved - that is, the wires connect one end of the light bulb to the + and the other end to the - of the battery.
