this is a tough one Moe, allow me to try again Quote:
Hint: You are trying to solve for x (just like High School algebra!) And of course, once solved, the answer then gives you a hint about the coin in question.
X+1.35 = Primetime : there are 3 numeric values; unknown x, a constant 1.35 and Primetime= 3hours equation transposition: x + 1.35 = 3 x = 3-1.35 = 1.65 Looking at the number 1.65 in ounces (oz) is also = 50cc or 50mL 1.65 Oz = 50 cc where 50 is direct hint on halve value 50c of coin the others 1. Hint "Chang" for the siamese twins for "half" denomination 2. Hint "1776" For the country - USA - just starting 3. Hint Cezzane painting- for the year of the coin 1839, the painter was born 1839 4. Hint "MSY" for the mintmark O Orleans (airport code for New Orleans) 5. Words meaning of halves - for the coin denomination "half" 6. Bandana hint for the "capped" bust coin headgear |

1. Chang Bunker, half of the siamese twins (half dollar)
2. 1776 refers to birth of nation US (U.S coin)
3. painting by Cezanne who was born 1839 (year on coin)
4. MSY = airport code for New Orleans (mint mark)
5. Hints (hemisphere, yin, etc) examples of halves (half dollar)
6. bandana on lady refers to figure on (Capped Bust half)
7.x would be the army time for 17:04 plus 1 hour 35 mins = prime time(the year of the coin)

ok think I got it
20:00 is 8pm, or prime time. 81 minutes (1.35 hours) earlier is 18:39.
Other hints previously determined as
1. Chang Bunker, half of the siamese twins (half dollar)
2. 1776 refers to birth of nation US (U.S coin)
3. painting by Cezanne who was born 1839 (year on coin)
4. MSY = airport code for New Orleans (mint mark)
5. Hints (hemisphere, yin, etc) examples of halves (half dollar)
6. bandana on lady refers to figure on (Capped Bust half)

NOD2003!Yes!! x = 18:39 (in military time, hence the clue to the year of the original coin!) 1.35 is the number of hours (i.e., 1 hour and .35 of an hour (which = 21 minutes) which added to x (18:39) equals 20:00, the start of Primetime television (on the East coast/Forum time) Well done my friend!!  PM me again with your address (I may still have it form your previous wins but PM me anyway!) And so ends the Trifecta of Contests!! Again, I would like to thank all who played!! This was tons o' Fun!
