[DrunkerThanMoses]

Should we wait for Josy, would be unfair on her

[Shaun]

It's not a terribly time-sensitive challenge, I suppose; you'd all have to PM me your answers and there's room for mistakes... but yeah I'll wait to see if Josy pops on. Someone give her a prod in towers or w/e

[Niamh.]

she's not online Shaun

[Marc]

Man I'm starting to feel hungover

[Ammi]

..aww, bad luck, Donovan, you were a great player.....well done, Josy.....

[Shaun]

ok well it's a PM-based task and you only have one chance of getting it right anyway so you might all mess it up Here goes...

[Marc]

Hard luck Don

[Shaun]

I want you to PM me the answer to this mathematical puzzle.

[SQUARE ROOT OF [Total number in seconds of studio version of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?", as according to the song's Wikipedia page + the number of top ten singles from Olly Murs (solo)]] MULTIPLIED BY [(The number of times Marc has played In Cold Blood) + (The street number Bianca lives in on Albert Square)]

[Drew.]

I'm out

[Niamh.]

ugh Maths nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Drew.]

Marc how many bloody times have you played

[Shaun]

easy answer to that is to look at the OPs to all of the main ICB threads in the ICB subforum in chat and games

[Benjamin]

Shaun you included Camel Toe in the last story.

[Shaun]

anything for you m'dear

[Shaun]

I HAVE RECEIVED THE ANSWER. Put your pencils down. Turn in your papers to the invigilator, Benjamin

[Shaun]

Here's how to work it out.

[Marc]

Oh

[Benjamin]

A maths question.

[AnnieK]

You're kidding.....I thought it wasn't time based...I've done it now too waaaaa

[Shaun]

[SQUARE ROOT OF [Total number in seconds of studio version of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?", as according to the song's Wikipedia page + the number of top ten singles from Olly Murs (solo)]] MULTIPLIED BY [(The number of times Marc has played In Cold Blood) + (The street number Bianca lives in on Albert Square)]

The wiki page for that song lists the song as having a 7:15 tracklength. That means there is a total of 435 seconds.

Olly Murs has had 6 top-ten singles in the UK (Please Don't Let Me Go, Thinking of You, Heart Skips a Beat, Dance With Me Tonight, Troublemaker and Dear Darlin).

Marc has played in THREE editions of ICB including this one.

Bianca lives at 31 Albert Square.

Therefore we can now simply the problem to:

I want you to PM me the answer to this mathematical puzzle.

[SQUARE ROOT OF [435 + 6]] MULTIPLIED BY [3 + 31]

and again...

[SQUARE ROOT OF [441]] MULTIPLIED BY [34]

and again...

21 MULTIPLIED BY 34

giving us an answer of... 714.

[Drew.]

oh, i was quite far off then..

[Shaun]

yeah just a bit

[Shaun]

The first player to PM me with the correct answer and earning immunity as task 7's team leader is...

[Marc]

Who dunnit
