48 now

So now that it is 47. I'm guess the answer to the riddle is that all of the Posts of Honor are non-prime...

Do I get the prize?

 

[petrusbroder]

Well, no. Because quite one other number in the same range is non-prime. The solution saught is unique ...

But I like your solution ...

:thumbsup: :beer:

Hooray for FullMetall Chocobo! Hoorray, Hoorray, Hoorray!

Let me rephrase the riddle:

What is one common property of the following series of numbers? 990, 992, 994, 995, 996, 998, and 999

It is not:
they all start with 99, (they do, but that solution is too obvious!)
they are all non-primes, (is correct: FullMetal Chocobo found this solution)

A first hint:
It has to do with division ...

 

[petrusbroder]

The primes between 990 and 1000 are 991 and 997

 

[petrusbroder]

Follow up question: Why are 993 (and 991 and 997) not included in the above series?

 

[petrusbroder]

42 post until 1 000 ...

Ohhh! I got it! They are all devisible by 1 and 1/2!

LoL!

Yes, they are --- which number is not ... but that is not the saught solution ...

begin answer();

n = 1;
For 1 - 1000
{
writeln "Is it divisible by" + n;
n = n + 1;
}

What do I win?

The prize for a most ingenious program ...
You are on the correct way - but have not quite reched the goal - I need a solution, not a program which may - or may not - solve it. {This is valid for way too many numbers ... }

LoL and having a lot of fun!
