The tension in the room is stifling as Charlie stares down the EOW from across the table. It is a meeting of the minds as Charlie's grey matter was pitted against the EOW's sweet cherry filling. The mediator cuts the staleness, "Charlie the objective here is for you to stump the EOW, you need to come up with a sequence of numbers in which the EOW must decipher the pattern or find a coorelation. If the EOW fails to do so the victory is yours." Charlie doesn't hesitate to test the waters and fires off the sequence 9,525,3768,81. As soon as the words passed over his lips it dawns on him how horribly he underestimated the EOW as it unassumingly reports back..."divisible by 3". Charlie lets out an inaudible sigh and shifts his strategy. "Well done EOW, but how do you do with 8,5,4,9,1,7,6,10,3,2" Stammered the EOW seemingly shuts down for minutes with only a status light blinking at regular intervals indicating its functionality. "EOW we are going to need your answer" The EOW slightly sweating blurts out..."They are arranged alphabetically!" The crowd gasps and Charlie knows he must now reach deep down to best the EOW. Charlie settles in and stares the EOW right in its power button and delivers with steady cadence "6,4,3,0,9,3,4,2,1,9" Again the EOW goes to work, furiously using its advanced algorithmic processes and degree in mixology to find a meaning for this sequence of numeric symbols. Minutes pass as the room becomes electric with anticipation. "EOW we need an answer, what say you...do you have an answer?" "I, I do not" The room crackles with applause as the announcer shouts "Ladies and Gentleman lets congratulate this week's winner of the EOW! Charlie!"
Congratulations Charlie! Always thinking outside the box, but an anagram for your telephone number...that is sneaky :)
