no, the real answer is 301. but u still owe me the formula, since 301 is just the smallest solution of many possible ones
edit. and by "possible" i mean the ones that make perfect sense)

What is it?
c'mon, this is from "the hobbit," but it seems as if you're combining the time and darkness riddles.

You said "at least" so 301 is the right answer, you never said anything about all possible solutions.
(But I'm curious to see the formula, hehe)

It isnt combined, and heres another riddle:
Two sheep farmers meet out in the fields. The frist farmer said to the other:
-If I give you you of my sheep, then you will have twice as many sheep as i do.
Then the otehr farmer said:
-Thats right, but if I give you one of my sheep, we will have the same amout of sheep.
How many sheep did they have?

How many sheep did they have?
x - 1st farmer, y - 2nd farmer
first condition: y+1=2(x-1)
second condition: x+1=y-1
when u solve it, u'll get x=5 and y=7

ok, using the numbers 1, 5, 5, and 5, get a result of 24 using only multiplication division addition and subtraction
