By now, most of you know that Bubba the darter, is my much smarter older brother. He's much sharper when it comes to two things: logic puzzles and chess. Oh, he's also quite knowledgeable about pumps and filters. Anyways, I'm not a big fan of logic puzzles. I think they're stupid and about as useful as cilantro (which I also dislike). I prefer messy SLOPpy puzzles or those peculiar ones I need to decode or crack in order to get the coordinates. That being said, here's my first bLEAPing non-logic logic puzzle - with more than one solution!!!
1. Noah has 5 more apples than Dan does.
2. Oliver is kind of a funny guy. He doesn't like apples at all, but loves kiwis. The fruit, not the New Zeleand people. I mean, not to say he doesn't like New Zeland people, he just really like the kiwi fruit. Funny thing is Oliver has 12 more apples than Dan, but no kiwis.
3. Rob (aka. Sandals) is allergic to peanuts, so he travels peanut-less, but he does love a good Apple.
4. Thomas has the peaches. All the peaches. More peaches than anyone else. 53 more actually.
5. Hector just bought some fruit from a nearby fruit stand. 12 apples, 4 cherries, and of course 13 bananas. Because bananas have the highest point value.
6. Frank has 29 bags of peanuts, but since he has those, he can't hang with Rob. So he'll just eat his peanuts with Sally. Combined, they have 5 pears and one more Apple than Noah. Noah uses Andriod.
7. Ivan, from Russia, likes bananas. He has 7. His english isn't great, so I couldn't understand how many cherries he had, but it looks like 3.
8. Victor is Ivan's neighbor and he doesn't speak any english. No clue what he has, so I'm assuming 3 apples and 2 pears?????
9. Evan is great. He loves to share. He gave 4 apples and 1 banana to Rob, and 2 cherries to Noah. He's out of fresh fruit now, but he still has that one brown over ripe banana. Remember that banana, it comes into play later.
10. 3 of the above people have 1 pineapple. But I forgot who. Oh wait, Sally maybe???
11. Thomas forgot that he owed Evan 2 pears, so he gave Hector the 2 pears out of his 5, since Hector was closer to Evan.
12. Hector took those two pairs, and gave then to Evan, for Thomas. So Hector had 2 pairs, and now has 0.
13. Rob (also aka TLC) decided he would go for a quick cache that was near the park where everyone was gathering, so he left for a few minutes to try for a FTF. He ate one apple on the way there, given to him by Evan.
14. Edward ran after Rob in hopes of a CO-FTF. He didn't bring anything with him, so he yelled back to the group that he would grab something on the way back.
15. Eventaully Rob came back and mentioned that he couldn't find the new cache.. he guess it wasn't placed yet. First to look, first to DNF he chuckled while finishing up his apple, and logging the DNF on his Apple.
16. Oliver took the two of his apples and traded them to Victor for one of his Pears. Confirmed. Victor originally had 2 pears.
17. Noah started having a discussion with Rob about his Apple and how many giga-pixels it had. Rob said it was about 2,304 giga-pixels. Pretty high res I think, don't you think???
18. Evan wanted to get more supplies and things, so he travelled 6809405.046 meters in a bearing of approximately 320.81158308358° from N 50° 43.149' W 001° 46.239' I mean, if you really wanted to get there from here, suit yourself, but there are two other easier solves that this. From there, you would need to take your cameras hoping deeply that you will find something really old. From there you would need to travel to B 53° 11v521 < 006° 05v051 and if you are lucky enough not to get lost at this point, you can take the not accurate location of this cache, and two other points listed in number 18 here, and intesect those three to find a new place to be. From there, you can project 3799.676655 km at an approximate bearing of 301.30465658491° That will get you cloze enough to GZ, but not good enough for the checker. Like I said, there are two other easier ways to solve this one.
11. Noah forgot to look in his pack and found 3 cherries as well. He was hungry and ate 2 and accidentally swallowed 1 pit.
12. Ivan used charade like actions and showed us that he also had 3 pears. Still no cherries though.
13. Noah, being the great guy he is, noticed that Ivan didn't have cherries, so he gave him 2.
14. Evan just got back from his travels.. going that distance, he must of travelled via Concord or Star Ship Enterprise! Wow that was fast! Now he has a dozen eggs, 26 apples, 1 pineapple, and a bunch (approximately 113) grapes. 113 grapes? What a random number.
15. Thomas still has all the peaches and doesn't seem to want to share, but found a nice shiny apple on the ground. A windfall!
16. Wanda plays pickleball. A lot of pickleball. So much that she needs to hydrate and get some energy. In her bag she usually has 2 bananas and 1 peach with her. But today, she also brought a apricot.
17. Oliver was talking to Dan, and found out that Dan has 2 apples (and one banana). Dan asked for a kiwi from Oliver, but he didn't have any.
18. Theresa just arrived with some food. 1 pizza, and 4 apples.
19. Hector dropped down to tie his shoes, there were two laces he needed to tie.
20. Rob asked Hector is he needed help, and started Googling best shoe tying methods with his Apple.
21. Evan though he was better with his Andriod, and starting Googling best apple pie recepies, then starting counting how many people had apples.
22. Edward was still missing from this picnic. And now Patty and Sam arrived.
23. Well, first of all, I never said is was a picnic. Okay fine, it's a picnic, now I said it. It started at 12:23pm at the park.
24. Evan, he's back now. He's such a brown noser. Giving away his fruit to others, what's his deal? Is he trying to buy votes?
25. Sam is here, remember????????? Yup, Evan gave him 1 more apple than Owen. Owen is here now?-?
26. Thomas dropped one of his peaches, but that Evan guy have him one more than anyone else.
27. Oliver and started a conversation with Thomas, trying to see if he can get some peaches, no such luck, but was able to get that windfall apple off of him.
28. Nancy just arrived with a bushel of corn, which is 2150.42 cubic inches. That is a LOT of corn! Oh, she had 2 pears too.
29. Evan is running for the presidential election. Now this all makes sense. 1 apple given to Nancy as well as to Thomas.
30. Owen, speaking of Owen, have you ever seen the movie "Throw Mama from the train"?????? In the movie, whenever Owen's mom yelles "OWEN!!!", that is what I hear whenever I hear the name Owen.. it makes me chuckle. If you haven't seen it? Here is the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=golBeTK5Q00 Enjoy! Oh, 7 cherries is what he took from Evan.
31. Nancy didn't want the apple. She says "My vote is not to be bartered with". Bartered with? How old is Nancy anyways?
32. Evan didn't want the apple back, so he just threw it in the lake. Typical.
33.Three apples feel off the cart. One belonged to Thomas, and two belonged to the person with the most apples. Where did this cat come from??? Is this story set in the middle ages?
34. Oliver had left, but just returned with 12 olives, and he's sharing, without any hidden agenda. Good for you Oliver.
35. Nancy, seeing that Oliver had no agenda for sharing, graciously accepts two olives.
36. Evan is now quite perturbed, as he can see what's happening. What? And they don't have a clue. Who????????? They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line, Our trios down to two. Oh. Evan doesn't like that Oliver is sharing with Nancy, and complains that there won't be enough to go around. Nancy eats both olives, right in front Evan. Wow, things are getting heated at the mid century picnic!!
37. Noah has had about enough of Evans shenanigans, and asks him to relinquish all his food to the common pot. The common pot?? Seriously? Noah, put your sword away.. this isn't funny. Noah listens to the narrator, and puts his sword away, then eats 1 apple.
38. Ivan, confused at all the commotion (since his english is poor) saunters out eating 7 grapes. Grapes???? Where in the blazes did he get grapes. Ivan pointed at Evan. Evan just shrugged and said he didn't want him arms torn off, so he grabbed him some grapes.
39. "No way" exclaimed Nancy, Evan gave Ivan grapes without a hidden agenda! Good for your Evan. Evan smiled and blushed a little, then ate a few grapes, and then picked few from the nearby orchard, bringing his total back up to 113.
40. Edward came back from the cache (he found it, I guess Rob missed it.) He arrived just as the picnic in the park was starting to wrap up. He handed out one watermelon slice to everyone there, except Evan, who was still in the nearby orchard. Totaling all the pieces together, it equaled 18.594 watermelons. (They were generous watermelon slices).
41. Two people were just getting ready to leave, Thomas and his wife Trudy, who was never formally introduced until now. They decided to donate all that had to the common food pile. Wanda (the pickleball player) offered up Tomas and Trudy her two bananas, as she didn't want them to go hungry with all the famine that was happening in their country. Yes, pickleball and famine are in the same sentence.
42. Frank wasn't feeling great, so he decided it was time to head out. He took all his food with him as well an apple from Evan, who returned from the orchard.
43. Our friend Ivan was getting tired of not being able to communicate well, so he decided to leave, but not before persuaded another 12 grapes off Evan,who went back to the orchard to top is grape total to 113 again.
44. Understandably, Victor was with Ivan, so off they went. Victor already finishing eating everything he had.
45. Right about then, Evan once again returned from the orchard, but decided to hide his grapes as he was tired of topping them up. Just then a duck walked up to Evan and said "Got any grapes?????????"
46. Sam burst out laughing. He thought the whole duck asking for grapes would make a great dad joke some day, so he filled up a glass of lemonade and left to write a joke that would live on for centuries.
47. It was about this time that Howard was walking by. He was the town thief, and with all that was happening, he decided to steal from the group. In total he took 5 cherries, 3 blueberries, 3 bananas, 1 banana, five plus 4 pears, a pair of pineapples, and 3 peanuts. He tried to take 1 apple, 1 pizza, and 3 watermelons, but was caught by Evan. Evan started throwing fruit at Howard and hit him with one rotton banana (I told you that banana would come back), 6 and then three more peaches, four less 2 zucchinis, 4 grapes, and 8 less two oranges.
48. XYZ Rob (aka Sandals The Bushwhacker), said to Evan.
"What" said Evan?
"Examine your Zipper." explained Rob (aka Sandals)
"Oh, how embarassing." replied Evan. Evan "zipped it", and told all the remaing people at the picnic to help themselves to his food in the orchard. Peter ended up with just north of 52 apples. Mary helped herself to peaches and 16 pears. Over, took over 900 olives. And for Bruno.. wait we don't talk about Bruno.
"What was the point of this whole thing", asked Rob. "I mean, what's in it for you?"
Evan looked at Rob with a twinkle in his eye and replied. "Coordinates my friend.. coordinates"
