Jishdefish lives in one. And it seemed to fit the criteria. At least almost.

Metal skin powered by a lot of heat...

big lights that might as well be foglights except that they're underwater. And a lot of water abounds.

I don't really see why this is in Dragon Discussion, leastwise, not anymore.

Fire engines are very dragony surely!!??

Silentiea · Post by **Silentiea** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 12:28 am

Not as much as are nuclear submarines.

Marik · Post by **Marik** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:43 pm

Right cos they're everything to do with dragons? Fire engines are definatley more so.

Jish is a dragon. Jish lives in a nuclear sub. That's a big something to do with them.

Jish is a dragonfish. There's a subtle difference.

Silentiea · Post by **Silentiea** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:17 pm

Subtle enough to not invalidate my point. Unless you know of a dragon living in a crashed, nuclear-powered firetruck...

I do. But I would guess by now that he mutated into something else, so who knows?

Not a riddle per se, but complete the following chains of numbers:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...

1 2 3 5 7 11 13 ...

1 7 13 19 23 31 79 ...

Falconer · Post by **Falconer** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 3:15 pm

1: Fibannaci Numbers. (21)

2: The odd numbers. (17)

3: No idea.

Silentiea · Post by **Silentiea** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 1:05 am

You got 1: Fibonacci

And you're close on 2, but you're wrong. The second number in the sequence is 2, so it can't be odd.

And a hint for 3: If you find two, you're halfway there.

The numbers again:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...

1 2 3 5 7 11 13 ...

1 7 13 19 23 31 79 ...

Falconer · Post by **Falconer** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 1:12 pm

2 are the prime numbers. Got confused.

Still can't figure out the 3rd. They're all prime numbers... *shakes head*

Silentiea · Post by **Silentiea** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 12:59 am

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ...

1 2 3 5 7 11 13 ...

1 7 13 19 23 31 79 ...

They're all prime, and they all have another, rather less known mathematical quality.

@ silverdrake: 1: One, i.e. you.

2: THe riddle of the Sphynx. Man.

@ Silentia: I can't guess the last one. I would guess that fractals are involved because the increase is exponential, but beyond that... *shrugs*
