I. Song #3: Add up the 1's mentioned. Any 1 counts, but "ones" don't.

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!

I wanna rock right now
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser
To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I don't know
So let's go, 'cause

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!

My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept
Listen up, 'cause I'm gonna keep you in step
I got an idea
That I wanna share
You don't like it? So what, I don't care
I'm number one, the uno, I like comp
Bring all the suckers 'cause all them I'll stomp
Bold and black but I won't protect
All of my followers 'cause all I want is respect
I'm not a doctor, put them in rapture
A slick brother that can easy outfox ya
Cause I'm Rob, the last name Base, yeah
And on the mike, I'm known to be the freshest
So let's start, it shouldn't be too hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
I won't fess, wear a bulletproof vest
Don't smoke buddha, can't stand sess, yes

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!

The situation that the Base is in
I'm kinda stingy that's why I don't wanna lend
A funky rhyme to a foe or a good friend
But listen up 'cause I want you to comprehend
'Cause I'm the leader, the man superior
I take care of ya and then ya get wearier
So just sit, my rhymes arenot counterfeit
The record sells which makes this one a hit
It won't hurt to listen to Red Alert
Take off your shirt
Make sure it don't hit the dirt
I like the kids--the guys, the girls
I want the ducats 'cause this is Rob Base's world
I'm on a mission, ya better just listen
To my rhymes 'cause I'm all about dissin'
'Cause

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!

I stand alone, don't need anyone
'Cause I'm Rob, just came ot have fun
Don't need friends that act like foes
'Cause I'm Rob Base, the one who knows
About things that make ya get weary
Don't cheer me, just hear me
Out 'cause I got the clout--shout (Ho!)
Before I turn the party out
I won't stutter--
Project my voice, speak clearly
So you can be my choice
On stage or on record
Go to the Wiz and select it
Take it off the rack, if it's wack put it back
I like the Whopper, f**k the Big Mac
If you want static, so let's go
So, throw upyour hands
Go for what you know
Bro', I got an ego
Yo, talkin' to me? No
Oh
'Cause Rob is in the front, EZ Rock is on the Back up
We're not soft, soyou better just slack up
'Cause I'm cool, calm just like a breeze
Rock the mike with the help of EZ
Rock on the set, the music plays
Only cuts the records that I say

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!

All right, now, EZ Rock
now, when I count to three
I want you ot get busy
You ready now?
One, two, three, get loose now!

It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
I got 3

A. Song #6: Count every instance where the number # in the title is mentioned.

Blind Melon - Three is a Magic Number
Three is a magic number
Ya it is, its a magic number
Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity
Youll get three
As a magic number
The past, the present, the future,
Faith, and hope, and charity,
The heart, the brain, the body,
Will give you three,
Its a magic number

It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand,
And it takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
And every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less,
You dont have to guess
That its three
Cant you see?
Its a magic number

A man and a woman had a little baby
Yeah they did
And there were three in the family
And thats a magic number

3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30

3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30

Now multiply backwards from 3x10
3x10 is 30
3x9 is 27
3x8 is 24
3x7 is 21
3x6 is 18
3x5 is 15
3x4 is 12
And 3x3 is 9
And 3x2 is 6
And 3x1 is 3 of course
(now dig the pattern once more!)

3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18
Oh yeah

3x10 is 30
3x9 is 27
3x8 is 24
3x7 is 21
3x6 is 18
3x5 is 15
3x4 is 12
And 3x3 is 9
And 3x2 is 6
And 3x1
What is it?
3

A man and a woman had a little baby
There were three in the family
And thats a magic number

I got 38

What is it?
3

Two different interpretations...

Sum all unique numbers that aren't 3:
1+2+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+12+15+18+21+24+27+30 = 199

Sum all numbers that appear that aren't 3 regardless of duplicates:
(6+9+12+15+18+21+24+27+30)*4
+ (1+2+4+5+6+7+8+9+10)*2
+ 10
+ (6+9+12+15+18 ) = 822

So if all that is right:

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 :x

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

nope. Just tried calling..."we're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed..."

Deagol, somewhere you got numbers switched up. I did the math (not well mind you) and came up with a different number:

310-782-7701

But that one doesn't work either (and I'm sure Crystal is so not impressed with the early morning phone call :lol: )

We've screwed up somewhere....

I'll run over to the other thread and recheck the math.
