Answers to Puzzle Contest #13

Hi Everyone,

Unfortunately, we do not have a winner for this week’s puzzle contest. I feel a little bad about Question 1. In hindsight, with the information provided, Question 1 was exceptionally hard to solve and the logic could have taken all of you in different directions. So I want to award @doughtaker, @etuk, @thinkagain, and @pinkhyppo a share in steem basic income (@steembasicincome) for getting the other three answers correct. I would also like to award @doughtaker 2 SBD for being the first person to get the correct answers to these 3 questions. I also feel my response to @doughtaker’s question regarding Question 1 may have been a little misleading as well. The remaining 3 SBD for this puzzle contest will be added to the prize money for Puzzle Contest #14. Therefore, 8 SBD will now be up for grabs.

I would like to thank all other participants in the contest for their time and effort. I previously named all participants but the list of participants has grown incredibly long. Thanks for the great support.

I would also like to thank @sweetsssj for giving this contest a boost with her upvote and @gentlebot for giving some of the responses a nice upvote. To return the favour I would to like to inform you about contests held by @healthsquared. He runs contests relating to healthy living. You should have a look at his page for more information. I don’t know what the signup requirements are.

So here are the answers with explanations

Question 1

Question 2

Question 3

Question 4

I will be starting another puzzle contest in a few days.
