Drive Away Alzheimer's

Here's from Ed Canela:

Maray na aga sa indo gabus

I am sure no one will ever try this puzzle in our group…. But I like to share it with you anyway. Na-solve ko kasi, he, he, he. So, no pressure, no deadlines, no prize also. It is just the nice thought that we are still he, he, he. Lots of huggggssssss from Vientiane….

Subject: Alzheimer prevention puzzle


A good way to prevent Alzheimer is to exercise the mind with a light enough puzzle that is solvable within 15-30 minutes.

Try this:

A military officer, newly arrived at a military facility, forgot the 5-digit access code for a building. The security guard is not authorized to give the access code, only the clues to it.

Here are the clues:

1. The fifth number plus the third number of the access code equals fourteen.
2. The fourth number is one more than the second number.
3. The first number is one less than twice the second number.
4. The second plus the third number equals ten.
5. The total of all the five numbers is thirty.

Have fun!

Well, Ed, I had my first coffee break today and tried and got it.

It s what we used to call under mr. maderazo – trial and error lang (although 2 trials lang solved na, he..he..).

Like me to post the answer?

Ed & Bert,

Instead of trial and error, the easier way of solving this is also what Mr. Maderazo taught us.....5 unknowns, 5 equations equals 74658.

Haaay! I could never brag Math as one of my favorites. That was my most challenging subject. I just vouldn't make ot it. Kaya nag nurse na lang ako! But the irony of it, we have very entailed math with dosage and calculation in Nursing. Buti na lang I was able to whip through it miraculously.

After several attempts, I finally was ablt ot come up with the answer.Maray pang nag=artista na lang ako. Back up ni Ai-ai. Ha-ha-ha.

Salamat Ed for the Brain exercise.
