X Divided by 8, gives you a 7, mate.

Unsolved

X Divided by 8, gives you a 7 mate. When you find the key, please translate it for me.

I can’t believe nobody got the answer... Answer:>!Yes!<

Explanation:>!X is the 24th letter of the alphabet, dives it by 8 and you get 3, and the 3rd letter of the alphabet is a C, the 7 was to give you a better chance at getting C, why 7? The Seven Seas, and when you translate C or rather Si from Spanish to English you get Yes.!<

Nope, I’ll give ya a hint

!Its not math related!<

Ok, so >!not math!<, but >!are we still "solving for x" here? Does X represent the answer?!<

Is it related to numbers at all, or do the numbers represent something else?

2
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

!think about envelopes and letters!<

Edit:Trust this hint but only >!50!<%

!assuming a normal algebraic equation — X = 56!<

I’m certain this isn’t the answer though...unless...

The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

Nope. Try again!

If you >!divide a capitalized X equally into eight parts, one of those parts, between 180 and 220 degrees, is exactly shaped like!< the number 7.

Nice try but >!its not math related!< Keep trying!

If nobody guesses it by tomorrow at 6 pm, I will reveal the answer and give an explanation.

1 hour left!

The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

Actually, time is up, I didn’t specify time zones so I’m adding 3 more hours the clock, especially because someone was close

1

It's been 3 hours.

2
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

Crap your right...

1
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

The answer has been revealed, but those can still guess and try instead of looking at it.

1
The_Emilynator•

!Yes!<

2
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

Correct! You did not get that on your own, no way...

1
The_Emilynator•

Uhh.. that wasn’t meant to be an answer I just did that as a response to this but I’ll take it!

Does this have to do with chess in any way? I ask because of the “mate”.

3
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

No, that was just to rhyme, it’s not important....

...or is it?

jesswu0126•

Thanks, That’s not helpful at all

2
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

! Is this something where it has to be a sq root and you get a 'check, mate' !<

1
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

Nope

1
caspercunningham•

Well then I'm all out of guesses.

2
The-Mythical-PhoenixOP•

Never give up!

1
caspercunningham•

I mean...I don't know what else it could be. I don't know if it is a number or a concept. Divide by 8 and get 7... and it isn't 56. The NHL playoffs? 8 seeds and 7 game series? The earth and continents? I don't know man
