Livertool Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Here we have olympic cities. Figure out distance to next host Tokyo. First of all, i find question stupid af. Secondly didn't have a clue.

How many he has left? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami-Unibet Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 In all reality, how are you supposed to "deduce the distance" with that information? That's the same as me saying "The moon is 384400 km from earth, sun is 150.4 million km from earth, deduce the distance from London to New York?" 2 Satisfied with the community? | Read our guidelines? | Meet the team | Seen our latest blog posts?

Yup, that is why i thought it was stupid question or set up is really weird. No wonder kids are so confused these days 😃 Don't want give up more if someone wants to take a shot of answer.

Purps Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 My logic says 1200km would be the answer. Was good at these as a kid, but not sure if that's the case anymore these days 😕 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psrquack Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I'm sure we are not in Finland anymore (1400 Athens and 1500 Sydney), so I think we are in Tokyo, so zero is the correct answer.😆 Btw you will have 6 apples, because you are the owner of the tree and you can make an unlimited rebuy.😀 Let's come more.

psrquack Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Maybe you can draw circles around the cities with the mentioned distances and where they cut each other there is a point where you are and then you can figure out the distance to Tokyo, but maybe @Purpscan help us with explanation about the 1200, because I have no clue too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WuDu Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) My guess is 1350! My explanation: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . Obviously, distance doesn't play a role here. In Finnish, all cities except Rio have 6 letters, Rio has 12. 250 km per letter. Sydney is the baseline, then its +100, -100, 0, +100, -100. Tokio, 5 letters (5*250) +100 = 1350.

You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!" And I'm gonna say: "I'm sorry, we're gonna keep winning because we're gonna make America great again!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 As @WuDu has pointed out these are usually never to do with actual distances. I've seen loads of these types of puzzles, mostly giving a value to vowels and consonants, or maybe values of 1 for A, 2 for E, 3 for I, etc. Fairly easy to work out once you have the correct values, but I didn't attempt this one, foreign languages are not my speciality. 😬 If @Livertool waited long enough after throwing his apples, and presuming they landed on some soil, he could end up with an orchard. 🍎🍎🍎 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

Purps Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 @Livertool Yeah, boys were getting close 😀 It is indeed all about the names, as @GR1ZZL3R and @WuDu suspected. 200km per character and 100km per consonant on top of that, and it all should match 🦆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
