You could just ask normally, you know. This is Landel's Institute. If you search the bulletin, you'll see a primer posted that'll answer the rest of your questions.

[B has "helpfully" drawn an arrow to here. The rest of the message is in Japanese, which is not his "main" language.]

Do you normally communicate in this manner?

Pen and paper is merely a substitution for my normal formula.

The numbers are just a pop quiz though.

86328 and 51840.

I'm not sure what the point of your variables is.

Perhaps he wants the problems solved within the next five hours?

I suppose, although one could barely call these problems. It's the most rudimentary math.

It appears to have been intended as a cipher.

Welcome to Landel's Institute for the Mentally Unstable. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine.

Let's see... Time is actually a good enough answer for the first question. Add 39 to an hour, then subtract 74 from a quarter of an hour.

The answer to the second equation is "x=6*0*12*4"

Though isn't it a bit harsh to destroy people for something like this?

((OOC: It took me far too long to come up with a suitable response, and even still, I feel quite outclassed- I really was impressed by yours. Anyway, the first answer is adding degrees to the minutes and seconds of latitude and longitude to arrive to a location roughly in New Jersey, while the second is a simple number-to-letter replacement for 'GAME'.))

I would have preferred simplified answers, but I'll give you points for style. And actually rendering up new data.

Ha! Fractals who can't even figure out this level of problem don't deserve to live!... Lucky for them, they also aren't worth my t. What's the Σ of the population here, anyway?

[If it makes you feel better, I totally wouldn't know the answer to yours either. Hooray for patients smarter than their muns? But yeah, I had been hoping to make this bulletin post since before I even wrote his app.]

Where's the fun in that? Besides, I was sure that you could have figured it out on your own. You just have that feel about you.

As for that... mm... it's impossible to say, actually.

How about a probable estimate? Obviously there's room for 320, but are we at 100%?
