Yeah.... I did notice that, and was curious if that was going to be a factor, but then didn't want to bring attention to it if people didn't notice.

But then again, it's been all day and no one else has even replied, so yeah. Those letters are supposed to be blue like mangaaddict_reborn's post!

So it has something to do with american history?
Then I shouldn't be solving it...

Starting with the T on the left side, at the bottom of the frame, if the frame is read around clockwise, skipping one letter each time leads to it saying "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too". This campaign slogan comes from the 1840 presidential election from when William Henry Harrison ran against Martin Van Buren. tippecanoe was a river in Indiana where Harrison fought some Native Americans and Typer refers to John Tyler, his vice-presidential running mate on the Whig ticket.

I have American History first period, just lucky timing.

The answers are:
#7 37-37-37
#8 Tippecanoe and Tyler too, for a more accurate answer read nobody_here's

#9 A-S was having another picnic. The festivities were lively. Nobody_here entered himself in a shoot pool event. A shoot pool event is that somebody sits atop a dunking device, inside a tank. People line up one by one to throw a baseball in hopes to hit a target sign. If successful, the person is dunked into the tank. The one who knocks him into the water wins a cash prize. If no person manages to hit the target, the one in the tank wins a cash prize. Of course the A-S comittee planers always choose the most everybody-wants-to-dunk-him-into-cold-water person. This year, it was nobody_here. But there was a catch. You could only gain a turn to have a go at the target sign if you complete one challenge. The challenge being

only one person? This can't be that hard.

[Zierlyn]

Pfft. You just went and said it, didn't you? Well fine!

Not only will I answer it, I'm just gonna go right ahead and explain the logic used step by step to solve it.


Step 1
The first column currently adds up to 9, requiring two numbers that add up to 25. The only remaining number pair that works is (16,9) The first row currently adds up to 16, thus requires two numbers that add up to 18. The shared number cannot be 9, so the shared number is 16. This gives us the following:
16 3 2 13
5 X 11 X
9 X X X
4 15 X X

Step 2
Row two currently adds up to 16, requiring two numbers that add up to 18. The only remaining number pair that works is (10,8 ). The second column adds up to 18. The shared number must be 10, which gives us the following:
16 3 2 13
5 10 11 8
9 6 X X
4 15 X X

Step 3
Column three currently adds up to 13, requiring two numbers that add up to 21. The only remaining number pair that works is (14,7). The third row currently adds up to 15. The shared number must be 7, which gives us the following:
16 3 2 13
5 10 11 8
9 6 7 12
4 15 14 X

Step 4
The only remaining number is 1. Which gives us the final solution of:
16 3 2 13
5 10 11 8
9 6 7 12
4 15 14 1

Happy? =p

I did this on pure trial-and-error... luckily I got it with only having to change two numbers, otherwise I'd be pulling my hair out right now

16 03 02 13
05 10 11 08
09 06 07 12
04 15 14 01

I'm sorry I was so late, I've been really busy with stuff
The answer is:

#10 Ever since the break in of the manga safe by Du5k and Kaiser, atikiN has kept all manga reserves in the most well guarded fashion imaginable. Lazer retina scanners, fingerprint scanners, adamantine steel walls with security cameras inside and outside the vault. During ddog432's security rounds to check the safety of the manga storage, he found that he couldn't open the safe. Then he noticed a message taped to the door. The message read
"The security guard sat and pondered well,
The following message I'm about to tell.
From six you remove nine
From nine you remove ten
From forty you remove fifty
A six is all that's left over
Figure out this message and you'll be in clover
A meaning is held to this rhyme
Solve the message before you run out of time"
ddog432 pressed his ear to the safe and heard a ticking noise. It sounded like a bomb- which it probably was. He looked toward the password entry box thinking of what the password could have been changed to. The password must contain 11 symbols. Time is running out. Please help ddog432 rescue the manga from being destroyed.

edit: not symbols, digits instead. The password itself is not an issue, the way the answer was arrived at is. The password is unimportant

[Zierlyn]

Okay, I'm going to go way out on a limb for this one, switching back and forth between arabic numbers, roman numerals and written numbers. If you take nine from six, or IX from SIX you get S. If you take ten from nine, or X from IX you're left with I. If you take fifty from forty or L from XL you're left with X. SIX.

The last rhyme was throwing me off, as well as the 11 digits thing... I figured that "over" could be substracted from "clover" to leave CL, which is 150 in roman numerals, but I couldn't get that to work with the 11 letters. And I just realized that this could work in one of two ways. The first could be that 11 is actually II or two, meaning "CL" could be the password... or 11 could be in Binary for 3, making 150 the password.

If I got this right, then kudos to you for writing up a rather deranged question. If I got it wrong, then I guess I'm the deranged one. =)
