  1. I know this is a science blog… but you guys like the number puzzles!

  2. OKay is it the number six!

  3. Ok Mr. Fowler I have one for you
    Cule 1. This number is a mulitple of 600
    Cule 2. It’s less than 2000
    Cule 3. It’s even (of corse)
    Cule 4. It’s a square number

  4. Alright Chelsea,
    Let me see if I am getting this straight:
    It is a multiple of 600 and less than 2,000. I figured that the multiples of 600 that are less than 2,000 are 600, 1,200, and 1,800. I don’t think any of those numbers are square. The square root of 600 is 24.494897427831780981972840747059. The square root of 1,200 is 34.641016151377545870548926830117. Finally the sqaure root of 1,800 is 42.426406871192851464050661726291. How does that sound to you?

    Oh and by the way… six is not correct for my puzzle. 6 is not a square number.

  5. The number is 36.
    chelsea,
    I think you forgot to multply 6×6 witch =’s 36.

  6. Right Tyler I’m sorry!

    By the way Mr. Fowler none of those answers were correct!

  7. Oh I ment 6 by 6. The answer would be 36. Thanks Tyler. Could you answer my number puzzel?

  8. Chelsea, by the looks of Mr.Fowler’s results, I don’t think it’s possible!

    Wait a minute, you know the correct answer! What is it then?

  9. You figure it out Tyler!
    ( I forgot my answer)

  10. 18×4=72
    36×2=72
    36 is the answer

    Cule 2. It’s less than 2000
    Cule 3. It’s even (of corse)
