Ok, I know some of you have much bigger brains than I do... so let's see how you do with this problem. This is completely unrelated to photography, but my wife and I are trying to figure out what three numbers this grid represents. We expect that the first number is probably a 7, 8 or 9 (probably an 8 or 9).
There should be three single-digit numbers derived from this grid:
3 5 1 5 3 / 1 4 1 5 / 5 5 2 4
4 1 5 1 3 / 2 2 5 1 / 5 1 4 3
My wife may go nuts if we don't get this figured out. Her brain is emitting smoke as we speak... |

What does this have to do with??? Can you give me more directions or maybe a sample. I don't understand what exactly your trying to do here.

I thought Google was the answer to all questions in the universe. Alas, I could not find the solution. ;)

Hey Cin. Google is the answer to all questions. You just have to know how to use it and what to look for.
Here's a riddle for ya. And try not to google it.
This was also on a movie.
Whats round, but not always around.
Its light sometimes is dark sometimes
Everyone wants to walk all over me.
What am I?

WOW Cindi great job, hahahahaha I love that riddle. My kids still haven't figured it out.
Oh and by the way cin, don't worry about answering it. Roxanne here was paying attention during the beggining of the "transporter 2"
I love that movie.

LOL! What's "transporter 2"? If it's a science fiction movie, you can bet I wasn't paying attention:) BTW, thanks for the song. Takes me back to high school when someone would sing it 6 or 7 times a day. |

I got 4, 3, and 2... but without context, I won't claim any kind of correctitude.

It's part of a puzzle to get the coordinates for a Geocache.
We have everything but these three stinkin' numbers...
Based on the general location of the cache, the first digit should be an 8 or 9.

| Would 827 / 514 make any sense to you? |

Not really... it would just be one 3-digit number. |

Since I have nothing to go on I guess. If you put each number together (top to bottom) all equal 6 except for the following:
3 5 1 5 3 / 1 4 1 5 / 5 5 2 4
4 1 5 1 3 / 2 2 5 1 / 5 1 4 3
-----------------------------
7 6 6 6 6 / 3 6 6 6 / 0 6 6 7
So my guess would be 7/3/7 or 7/3/0
does that make sense? |

That is a definite possibility. My wife had mentioned something like that at one point. It seems out of place that there would be two non-6 digits in that last string of four, though.

Then I would go with 7/3/0 since the first two strings (7+3=10) and the third has to be a single digit number then 10 must = 0.

I would say that it might be something like this;

/7654984108/08765423/46574654/1
Does that make any sense???
HAHAHA Just kidding, I just really needed to do that, I'm frustrated this morning because my kids are driving me insane.
