Now, both come out of their respective rooms and stand in front of each other.
Marc asks Max : " Max, do you know the two numbers?"
Max replies to Marc : "No, I don't know the two numbers!"
Marc says to all : "Now, I know the two numbers!! :) "
Guess... what were the two numbers :confused: ? And how did Marc come to know them? :eek:
Have fun with the puzzle... :D
//lets make this a puzzle thread ... until its blown by some other idea :D :D :D Wassay guys?
Any hints? :D
exterminator, is there really a solution to this? :D I can guess why Marc would come to know them. But I wouldn't know what the two numbers are. :D :D
I don't know of any hints.. :D I don't know of the answer.. :D I can tell you that the puzzle is correct :thumb: .. and I can verify the answers given by you... :thumb:Quote:

There can be many solutions for these two numbers - but since Max doesn't know the answer - he must be having multiple solutions.. and knowing that Max has multiple solutions - Marc concludes his answer in a definite way... That's all I can give :D
Hope this helps.
Yes .. there is a solution... Guess that atleast ... why did Marc come to know them? But remember that it should be a funny one... :DQuote:

I thought, if my guess(es) weren't funny, at least I have that emoticon! :DQuote:
