S12D6: OzaLanka!

 

"Wait! We were having fun! How could you burn it all down?"

(c) Amir Mohtashemi Gallery

As long as Asalanka was having fun and Kusal was killing them Ozzies, Sri Lanka was on song. Then Starc produced that scorching yorker. 88/2 in 11 became a middling score. Unless Sri Lanka produces the goods against England, the long flight back is beckoning. #ItaDuskara

AFG vs PAK @ Dubai 

Keep them coming.

Quiz Section

Despite the clues, no one picked it up yesterday.

The quesiton was:

I love my roman numerals. When will sqrt(iii+dclxxii/iii)-i be equal to l?

Well. x can be 10 or x can be the multiplication symbol. Using the brackets liberally and wisely, we can write the equation as:

=sqrt ((iii+(dcl*xii))/iii)-i 

= sqrt (3+(650*12))/3-1 

= sqrt ((3+7800)/3)-1 

= sqrt (7803/3)-1 

= sqrt (2601)-1 

= 50 

= l

#BODMASpower #WhoIsX

Only Anand Re, ArunJ, Rambo & Shankar Srinivasan got the right answer. Others tried decimalizing the answer and all that stuff. Sorry, ah!

So much for lateral thinking.

For today's question. This, I am sure, will keep you busy for several hours. Have fun.

Rules are simple. 

Make words. Minimum four letter words. All words must have the central alphabet. Each alphabetcan be used only once in a word. No duplicates allowed.

There are twenty words in this ring of fire! For 20 points, enjoy! You will know whether your answers are right once you find them. They are from standard dictionaries anyway. Send me in one lot, please!

Be good until tomorrow!
