Yes!

Your turn next, CSM_Clone!

by **CSM_Clone** » February 17th, 2011, 2:51 am

The X-Files production company minus the number of EVEs minus the number of Scully's siblings

by **LondonLady** » February 17th, 2011, 10:55 am

1013 - 8 (I think) - 3 (siblings, not including Scully herself) = 1002

by **CSM_Clone** » February 17th, 2011, 11:28 am

Yes!!
So Charlie exists? :mrgreen:

by **LondonLady** » February 17th, 2011, 12:03 pm

LOL! I'd say that he exists in theory! New puzzle coming up soon!

by **LondonLady** » February 19th, 2011, 10:05 am

What's the Magic Number?
(The first name of the teenager who went missing in "Conduit") plus (The first word only of the Season 3 finale) minus ("___ Breath," episode title) =

N.B. For anyone who wants to guess the answer but doesn't want to pose the next puzzle, feel free to guess, then if you win the round, just pass your turn. CSM_Clone, Gillyinfatuation, and Agent Skulder have all posed excellent Magic Number puzzles, so maybe pass to one of them, or you could pass your turn to me!

by **Agent Skulder** » February 19th, 2011, 8:17 pm

Ok - no icon, so close eyes and imagine visual and sound of extending interlaced fingers perpendicular to body, cracking knuckles ...

First, Latin was a while ago. Not as long as the days of Gaul ... But is NB nota bene (note well)?

My guess is: 8

Ruby (4) + Talitha (7)= 11 minus "One" Breath (3) = 8
Close?

by **LondonLady** » February 21st, 2011, 1:25 am

Yes, N.B. is Latin for 'nota bene,' which means, as you said, note well.

Oh, Agent Skulder, perhaps I wasn't clear. When I said, "___ Breath," I meant: use the number of breaths in the title, not the number of letters in the word. Try again because your other answers are correct!

by **Agent Skulder** » February 21st, 2011, 1:44 am

Ah, I see ...  I literally laughed out loud while taking many breaths.... So I'll try again:
My new guess is: 10...
Ruby (4) + Talitha (7)= 11 minus "One" Breath (1) = 10

....I don't think it's the math that trips us up - it's the reading with both eyes open!

by **LondonLady** » February 21st, 2011, 1:49 am

Well, you still got the correct answer! Well done!

by **Agent Skulder** » February 21st, 2011, 2:00 am

Why thank you.... I'll try to "calculate" something interesting, then I'll be back ...

by **LondonLady** » February 21st, 2011, 2:03 am

LOL; okay! There's also a new silly question waiting for you, and I've answered your question about Mr. Peetie!

by **Agent Skulder** » February 21st, 2011, 2:39 am

I think I'm following in your keystrokes - I was just there! Very clever! And wasn't Billy Drago the perfect Peetie? Btw he is one busy actor - he has 2-3 movies or videos due out this year, plus he's on board for films in 2012 & 2014- all thrillers. I'd rather watch actors like him than all the Brad Pitts in the world.

I must be fading... When I first read your question I thought "IBM?" (which was also known as Big Blue way back in the 70s....) Then I shook off the cobwebs and realized you mean the monster ...! I'll see what I can come up with.

by **LondonLady** » February 21st, 2011, 12:29 pm

Yes, Billy Drago was excellent. LOL regarding IBM being "Big Blue." They are about as old as each other! I have a Toshiba computer from 1999, which I hardly ever use any more, that would be considered a dinosaur!

I await your next Magic Number puzzle, and your next silly answer and silly question!

Oh, and BTW, I got my wish: we have a snow day today. Yippee!

by **Agent Skulder** » February 21st, 2011, 12:44 pm

London Lady - Favor? I don't want to hold this game up and since I'll be offline a few hours, and I think many folks are off today (Prez Day) - please take thIs next Magic Number puzzle? I know I said I'd start putting spare puzzles in my "puzzle notepad" but I'm not there yet! THANK YOU!

by **LondonLady** » February 21st, 2011, 1:32 pm

A favour written in my favourite pink will usually be granted! LOL! I don't think that anyone else is playing this game except you and I, Agent Skulder, and maybe CSM_Clone, but here is the next Magic Number puzzle:

(The number that John Lee Roche said is "magical") plus (The last number of the year that Samantha Mulder was abducted, 197_) multiplied by (Scully's daughter's first name) =

by **Agent Skulder** » February 24th, 2011, 9:40 pm

Calling all math phoebes....This is really more trivia than math.

Original Puzzle:
(The number that John Lee Roche said is "magical") plus
(The last number of the year that Samantha Mulder was abducted, 197_)... multiplied by (Scully's daughter's first name) =

MY SEARCHING AND LOGIC:
• If JLR's magical number = 13, and if Samantha was abducted in 197...3, 13+3= 16;
• Scully's daughter was Emily = 5 letters total
• 16 x 5 = Magic Number 80

by **LondonLady** » February 24th, 2011, 11:31 pm

You are exactly right, Agent Skulder! bravo]

by **Agent Skulder** » February 25th, 2011, 12:09 am

OK - THIS SHOULD BE 'EASY PEASY'

(The number on Mulder's Apt)
PLUS
(the number of letters in Scully's sister's 1st name)
TIMES
(the number of Scully's siblings) = 

by **LondonLady** » February 25th, 2011, 12:31 am

42 + 7 x 3 (not including the lovely Agent Scully herself) =
49 x 3 = 147

The Magic Number is 147.

by **Agent Skulder** » February 25th, 2011, 1:13 am

Exactly! You're up....

.... This thread could be the genesis of a directory or mini-blog: "XFiles By the Numbers." You don't realize where numbers hide in episodes until you look for them (like the "7" stars on the Temple of Ephesian in an earlier clue).

by **LondonLady** » February 25th, 2011, 2:38 pm

Hurray! Another Magic Number puzzle coming soon to a computer near you!

by **LondonLady** » February 26th, 2011, 3:22 am

Here is the next one:

Episode title, the missing number itself, "____ Words") multiplied by (The missing number in this episode title, "_31") plus (The number of letters in the 3rd series/Season 3 episode which has the character, Lucy Householder) =

by **LondonLady** » March 2nd, 2011, 5:10 pm

Gilly? Agent Skulder? Anyone else want to try?

by **Agent Skulder** » March 2nd, 2011, 5:17 pm

London Lady, since you and have been playing this like a tennis match I was HOPING someone new or on a break might jump in.... :read

Trust me all you players-in-hiding - this one's just challenging enough.... And if anyone has ANY questions about this, just ask! No questions are off limits...

http://www.youtube.com/user/XInsaneDruX · by **Insane Dru** » March 2nd, 2011, 6:50 pm

Ok...I jump in hahaha Just cause this one is easy and overcoat cause you seem to be looking for new players in desperation (joking

)
So... "3 Words" X "731 + 9 (Oubliette)
3 x 7 +9 = 30

Am I right??? It can be very embarrassing to do this math wrong :mrgreen:

by **LondonLady** » March 2nd, 2011, 8:23 pm

LOL, Insane Dru! You are correct. bravo]

Yes, we'd like more people to play all of the games. They're fun and challenging, and they keep us out of trouble! Your turn next.

by **Agent Skulder** » March 2nd, 2011, 10:53 pm

Thanks for jumping in, Dru! Yep- I do start to sound desperate after a while, sorry about that but It Worked! It's much more fun when new members join in. :appl

by **LondonLady** » March 3rd, 2011, 1:10 am

The more, the merrier!

http://www.youtube.com/user/XInsaneDruX · by **Insane Dru** » March 3rd, 2011, 5:47 pm

So here I go :bannana

(The last number of Scully's Badge No., JTT033161_) plus (Marjorie Butters age in the 7th season episode 15) multiplied by (The last number of the year in which a UFO crashed in Roswell, 194_)

by **LondonLady** » March 5th, 2011, 4:14 am

Okay, here goes. I have to admit that I did have to research the first two numbers, and double-check the third number. However, I did the actual arithmetic all by myself, although I confirmed my answer using the calculator on my computer.

:

(The last number of Scully's Badge No., JTT0331613) = 3
plus (Marjorie Butters' age in the 7th season episode 15) = 118
multiplied by (The last number of the year in which a UFO crashed in Roswell, 1947) = 7

So, we have: 3 + 118 x 7 = 121 x 7 = 847
The Magic Number is 847.

by **LondonLady** » March 8th, 2011, 5:02 pm

Insane Dru hasn't checked back here for three days. I believe that my Magic Number answer is correct, so I'm just going to post the next puzzle, to get this game moving again.

What's the Magic Number?

(Number of letters in the 6th series finale) multiplied by (In "Fire," the number of little boys that Cecil L'Ively showed how to smoke) minus (Missing number: "S.R. 81_) =

by **Gillyinfatuation** » March 9th, 2011, 10:58 am

10x2-9 =11

by **LondonLady** » March 9th, 2011, 4:26 pm

Yes!

by **Gillyinfatuation** » March 9th, 2011, 5:36 pm

take the number of letters in Gillians middle name add the number of letters in David last name minus the number of letters in Kim last name.

by **LondonLady** » March 9th, 2011, 11:18 pm

take the number of letters in Gillians middle name add the number of letters in David last name minus the number of letters in Kim last name.

Leigh = 5
Duchovny = 8
Manners = 7

5 + 8 = 13 - 7 = 6
The Magic Number is 6

by **LondonLady** » March 11th, 2011, 3:18 am

Oh, Gillyyyyy! Did you see my answer?

by **LondonLady** » March 14th, 2011, 12:09 am

Well, I believe my answer is correct, and Gilly hasn't checked this puzzle for four days, so I'm just going to go ahead and post the next puzzle.

What's the Magic Number?
(The number of letters in the episode in which Mulder has ketamine-induced hallucinations) plus (The number of letters in the 7th series (season) finale) multiplied by (the missing number in this episode title: "__Shy")

by **LondonLady** » March 17th, 2011, 9:36 pm

Agent Skulder or Gilly, do you want to try this one? Or anyone else? It's not too difficult.

by **Agent Skulder** » March 18th, 2011, 12:09 am

Sorry - I've had the number 5 chasing me in my sleep... (kidding)

Assuming I got the English right...
Demons (6) + Requiem (7) = 13 x 2 shy = 26
