A. Song #6: Count every instance where the number # in the title is mentioned.
6. Blind Melon - Three is a Magic Number
A = 38

B. Song #4: Count every *female* vocal mention of summer.
4. Dashboard Confessional - Age Six Racer
B = 2

C. Song #10: Count the number of times there is a mention of "pull the trigger."
10. Coheed and Cambria - Three Evils
C = 9

F. Song #8: Total the # of times her numerical worth is mentioned
8. Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
F = 5

G. Song #9: Total # of instances that the # in this song's title is mentioned
9. Metallica - One
G = 1

H. Song #3: Total every 2 that is mentioned, before it's time to get loose.
3. Rob Base - It Takes Two
H = 42

J. Song #7: # of times the song title is mentioned.
7. Nine Inch Nails - Down In It
J = 12

N. Song #12: "Might as well," how many times?
12. Hole - Use Once and Destroy
N = 8

O. Song #11: Total the # of things music saves you from.
11. Tsunami bomb - Negative One to Ten
O = 4

P. Song #1: The song's title is repeated how many times in the song?
1. Weezer - Pink Triangle
P = 4

Q. Song #3: Add 1 to the # mentioned in the song title. How many times is *that* # mentioned in the song? 3. Rob Base - It Takes Two
Q = 2

Re-reading the threads, these are the undisputed #s I could verify easily.

dude this is getting to be a bigger mess then you complained about...

we are now watching 5 (edit....6) threads for possible answers!!! THis is going to get more confussing.

Captious · Post by **Captious** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 1:59 pm

E. Song #9: Total the number of things specified as being taken (taking quantity into account).
9. Metallica - One
E = 10

That is NOT certain. It can also be 8.

If you look at the threads I just posted. There are two that we don't have clear answers on.

If we can solve those, then there are only a handful of variables to mess with (and each have 2 options)

Killthesmiley · Post by **Killthesmiley** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 2:00 pm

should be three...

check the "known" thread

ForeverMourn · Post by **ForeverMourn** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 2:00 pm

Thx Captious for pointing that out. She's right. The list we made this morning has 8 OR 10.

Looking a the instructions, why else would it say quantity then? to quantitize something is to put it to a number. sight and ears would each involve two things (like arms and legs).

seemed the majority consensus. but if 8 turns out to be right i'll owe you a coke.

a. 38
b. 2
c. 9
d. 3
e. 8
f. 5
g. 1
h. 21 or 40
i. 3 or 4
j. 6 or 12
k. 2898 or 2901
l. 822 or 199
m. 25
n. 8
o. 4
p. 4
q. 2

u = a/b-c = 38/2-9 = 10
v = d^2*e+f = 3^2*8+5 = 77
x = g = 1
y = (h-i)/j = (21-3)/6 = 3 or (40-4)/12 = 3
z = k+L-(m+n)*(o+p+q) = 2898+822 - ( 25+8 )*(4+4+2) = 3390
or z = 2901+199 - ( 25+8 )*(4+4+2) = 2770

u v z x y
10 77 3390 1 3
10 77 2770 1 3

Phone#:
310-933-7701
310-772-7701

It seems neither works

[Edit: because acid cant count m=25 not 15]

Just a thought - the C & D up there are wrong. D is definitely wrong, and C has a second option.

covedweller · Post by **covedweller** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 2:09 pm

I point out what Deagol said above because of the 310-933-XXXX answer being the closest to the likely one so far.

Anyone messed with the different C&D values for that? A & B are both right. So those are the other 2 values that will effect the last 4 digits!

Could be the answer we're looking for, no?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks its 10.

I got 9 for C too..

Captious · Post by **Captious** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 2:18 pm

Cove it emphasizes quantity so that you count each leg and each arm. "Sight" does not mean eyes. etc. While it is possible that those count as two and the number is 10 we do NOT know that for certain and there is no reason to assume that we should interpret "sight" as eyes which are two things and not as a sense which is one thing. This should be moved off of here.

D is 8, 10, or 12, right?
