New contest - Cryptic Puzzle
Okokok
Here is the cryptic puzzle: In the last Presidential Election year we voted in Bush / This Presidential Election year, the choices will probably include Bush again / This time, the Valentine's Day Factor is different, whereas the St. Patrick's Day Factor remains the same / What a difference a day makes, not to mention four years. First response that I deem to be "close enough to be considered correct" will win a prize. My decision is final. Email replies / guesses to: One reply / guess per person / screenname / RCCer. Newbies & Lurkers welcomed to guess. Coin Saver |

Scott, meet Coinsaver. There you go, Mr. Kamins. You now know as much as the rest of us. ;-) Alan 'cryptic is as cryptic does' |

The solution may involve leap day/leap year. But even then, both
Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day fall on different days of the week in 2004 than they did in 2000. "Coin Saver" wrote in message ...

It's not the day of the week that is relevant, but the distance between the
days. "James Higby" jaggers[at]grics[dot]net wrote in message ... The solution may involve leap day/leap year.

oh yes it was in fact every 4 years is a leap
year unless you live on Mars. Oh no it weren't neither- if the year is evenly divisible by 400, then it's not a leap year. 2000 wasn't and neither will 2400 be. It sounds crazy but it's true. -Steve |
