The following was sent from the Project Aon contact form From: ibn_shisha@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: 15:36:54 on Monday, February 20, 2006 Subject: Shamath's Riddle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Shamath's riddle about the loyal servants, Section 189 of the Legacy of Vashna, it is impossible to answer the riddle without guessing, as no starting number is given. The riddle works out to (2(x+2)-2)/2 - 1 = x, however, x can be ANY number. She needs to tell us how many loyal servants she had to start with, doesn't she? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
