Is this a rulebreaker? If not, please don't say that The Game is relevant again. Anyway... Is a game involved? Could the rules be considered laws? Is the speaker one of the "let's"? Are the people children? Adults? Are they rebelling in some way? Just having fun? | ||

Is this a rulebreaker? Sorry, I didn't make it clear that it was. I'll answer your questions as rulebreaker questions - don't try to make any sense out of my answers in relation to the phrase. Is a game involved? Just if you include The Game :-) Could the rules be considered laws? Even if they were, who would follow them? Is the speaker one of the "let's"? Of course, assuming that someone said that phrase Are the people children? No, they would have to be over 15 to be breaking this rule since it involves driving Adults? So, yes. Are they rebelling in some way? Yope Just having fun? Just having fun, that's right. | ||

So this is a rulebreaker? Does the rule involve driving? Is your name Fermat1601? 1601 is less than 1602, right? Does the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog? | ||

So this is a rulebreaker? Do you want it to be one Does the rule involve driving? "Breaking the rules" was just a joke to explain that this was a rulebreaker, but just to answer your question, it does not. Is your name Fermat1601? 'Xactly. But not my real name. 1601 is less than 1602, right? X is always less than X+1 Does the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog? Because dogs cannot be lazy, there are no lazy dogs; therefore it is vacuously true that every lazy dog is being jumped over by a quick brown fox. | ||

Why can dogs not be lazy? Can 1601 dogs be lazy? Can 1602 dogs be lazy? | ||

Why can dogs not be lazy? Can they choose their own actions consciously? Most likely not. So they can't be lazy. Can 1601 dogs be lazy? Why not? Can 1602 dogs be lazy? Well, I think it has to be 1 plus the square of a positive integer | ||

A is a letter? Really? Could it be true? B is a letter? Just if you look at Cyrillic letters C is a letter? Be nice and I'll tell you D is a letter? The alphabet is not responding, can't answer E is a letter? Letters are a superset of {E - yes.} F is a letter? Do you want it to be? G is a letter? Vampires drank my brain fluids and I forgot H is a letter? No, and it never was and never will be! I is a letter? For svv of letter J is a letter? X-Ray it, is nothing is broken, it's a letter K is a letter? Possibly L is a letter? Ha! I'd like to see it try being one M is a letter? Zzzzzz.... I'm getting tired of answering these, so I'll be lazy N is a letter? Really? Could it be true? O is a letter? Just if you look at Cyrillic letters P is a letter? Be nice and I'll tell you Q is a letter? The alphabet is not responding, can't answer R is a letter? Letters are a superset of {R - yes.} S is a letter? Do you want it to be? T is a letter?

******BLOOPER****** big mistake: previous answers should be: Is there a loop in there? Sorry, I'm in an infinite recursion, please wait. Is there a loop in there? Still recursing, I'll say when I'm done There is a loop in there? Van Cliburn messes with my brain, making it hard to answer these correctly | ||

Good questions - easy to answer! Aardvarks in the machinery? Yes Abacus users always prosper? Rarely; they should use a TI-nSpire instead Academically, you can see how it works? Sometimes, it depends on the subject Adamantine? Er, no... Aeons ago? Oh noes! Archaeic spelllings! African fricassée? Egalité, fraternité Alphabetically sound? <b>Don't know, maybe just A to Y Anagrams for the broken hearted? Definitely this. | ||

I think I've got it... You multiply the alphabetical value of the first letter times that of the last letter (A=1, B=2, etc.) If the value is less than 26, you take whatever letter has that value, and use it as the first letter of your answer. If the answer is more than 26, you subtract 26 until you get a number less than or equal to 26, and then use the corresponding letter to start your answer. | ||

!@#$%^&*() SPOILER )(*&^%$#@! Just as in my previous rulebreaker, you convert each letter to its alphabetical value (a=1, b=2, ..., z=26). Then you take the first letter in the sentence and the last letter in the sentence and multiply; if that's more than 26, take the remainder; if the value is 0 make it 26. |
