If it’s about math, I subtracted all the 7 numbers and multiplied the last one which lead to -71. If there really is something to do with -71 I can’t help any further.

Looks like Canadian weather...

was wondering why those numbers looked so familiar

Spoiler: Hint

Try finding the numeric value of each letters in the sentence, then apply corresponding addition/subtraction operations. You should find a special date.

EDIT: I found it! Very clever!

If the next clue requires integration, you won’t be able to stump me. But if involves differentiation, then that’s an easy clue for me.

Remembering the rules of differentiation:

• The derivative of a constant is zero.
• If you take the derivative of a variable with an exponent, you multiply the coefficient with the exponent’s value then subtract 1 from the exponent.
• The derivative of e^x is e^x.
• The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x). But the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x).
• The derivative of ln(x) is 1/x.

You know, first I saw you throwing in some chemistry, and then the maths?! I was really surprised you didn't have some geography for this latest clue =)

Can you elaborate on this further? I don't get it.

Spoiler: Hint

Let’s say the word is “Play”. The operations are -14, -12, -1, -21.

P=16. 16-14=2
L=12. 12-12=0
A=1. 1-1=0
Y=25. 25-21=4

PLAY plus the operations equals 2004. If you can find the date from the clue, then find out what happened on that day, you should find the answer.

Wow, that was cryptic. I doubt I ever would have figured it out without hints. Thanks!

Hmm... I followed this hint, but then the things I looked up from it... still haven't worked.

Spoiler: Including attempts such as

Chris goes to London
NaNoWriMo
Harvest Festival Eve

Spoiler: Also looked up

a lot of staff members, and one of them shall be celebrating a birthday soon during this Carnival =) And another was close, but not quite

I may do another hint if that’s not enough. But I’m not going to share answers directly.

Oh, that's fine. I'm just amused by my failed attempts and thought I'd share

 

[jiny]

ooh i got it! yay
i would give a hint but im scared ill reveal too much ;__;

 

[Paperboy012305]

I feel like I should know this one.

Spoiler

I already figured out the correct date, it's what I'm trying to find on that date that's the problem. I entered in two things that could've been them, but no.

Nevermind I found it. I should've known it was that easy...

Next clue better involve some algebra. I need some math to do.

 

[DaCoSim]

You might want to recheck on something, perhaps you overlooked it?

Yep. I feel dumb now

 

[amemome]

YAY! Thanks for the hints! This was so much fun to mull over.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

gonna have to try pull out more than 1 brain cell for this challenge.. might take me a while

Just for a clarification, is Ariel’s Halloweaster egg unlocked to everyone if all eight clues are solved?, or is it only available for purchase to whoever solves eight clues?

 

[Chris]

Hey folks. Please remember to use spoilers if you are discussing the details of a clue. I have just had to unapprove a few more posts that openly discussed Challenge #4.
