Going to take a wild guess on the 'muffin' one and say "K". Probably wrong though. ^^;


Sincerely,
Shuten

[Rakhal]

Well done! You are indeed right when you guessed that you were wrong :)

No, not K, sorry.

[Shuten]

Well done! You are indeed right when you guessed that you were wrong :)

No, not K, sorry.

WAI! ^^

Now come on ya losers! There are only 26 letters in the alphabet afterall and at least one has already been eliminated. One of us will get it eventually! ^^

Onward fellow Soulriders! To Muffin glory I urge you forward. I may have failed but I know one of you will succeed. @_@

Muffin awarded. Well done. Of course me being an old-skool C sort of guy I'd have done something like..

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   printf("%c,%c,%c (%c)",a,b,c,((abs(((*argv[1]-0x60)*(*argv[1]-0x60))+((*argv[2]-0x60)*(*argv[2]-0x60))+((*argv[3]-0x60)*(*argv[3]-0x60)))) % 26)+0x41);
}

Which of the scrambled words below is least like the others? The difference has nothing to do with vowels, consonants or syllables.

EGTHI   NYWETT   SITROUFYX   LEENVE   XNNIEYTIS

[Shuten]

EIGHT TWENTY SIXTYFOUR ELEVEN SIXTYNINE

The first one is below ten. The rest are higher.

I guess that will do as well as Eleven (the only odd number in the list, if you read the last one as NineySix that is:))
