I quite like the idea of quizes on boards but this is just ridiculous, if you want to make such threads why not at least make them adult related even if not adult webmaster related.
Why not something like a wet T-shirt contest.

Sassy spacek worked 1
for the space team. 1
Each day she had to check twelve spaceships 12
and three space stations 3
for space matter. 1

I think less weed smoking in the day all round might be a good thing :confused:

Relativity essentially says that 'space-matter' is the basic entity and to split it apart is to approximate in a constraining way. Einstein and Infeld in 'The Evolution of Physics' point out that the notions of relativity and field, rather than being 'improvements' to traditional theory, 'transcend and include' the traditional theory, i.e.;
"To use a comparison, we could say that creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and putting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting point and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up."
In other words, the notion of 'landscape' is purely implicit and relational (relative), but landscape nevertheless seems to have the capacity to 'evolve' through 'space-time transformation' and this 'geometric evolution' which is purely implicit transcends anything that can be described in terms of 'material kinetics' since it is the evolution of geometric relationships rather than the evolution of explicit material things. Again, one does not have to debate whether it is the 'landscape' which evolves OR the 'physical features' (e.g. the mountain is not really a 'thing' but it is a pimple on the lithosphere which is being inductively 'sucked on' by the atmosphere within which it is an included constituent-participant); i.e. the landscape-feature seen in terms of the notion of relativity IS the basic reality rather than one or the other.

Count the spaces?
Could it be that its in the past tense, as in 'she did work' but no longer?

Are the twelve spaceships in the three space stations?
That could be 4 ships to each space station.
That could be 16 gaps.

There are no tricks, you're thinking too much.

Prize went up to £5000 and game stopped as too hard for anyone to get it right.
Answer was: 287
287 ..... of course .... :confused:

No one bothered to explain how they came to that answer either.
Yeah I turned over to Sky Mix to see what you was on about .. I think the guy that said 5000 & something was the final straw for the producers .. lol

matter of fatly, there would be only 3 gaps between 4 ships, which would make it 9 all in all.
of course there'd be 2 spaces between 3 space stations.... unless they are in a circle and allow 3 spaces again. which, come to think of it, would also work for 4 ships in a circle making 4 spaces. AAARRGGHHH!!

Are you sure this is the correct question? Have you missed anything as I just cannot see how you get 287.
