no, the real answer is 301. but u still owe me the formula, since 301 is just the smallest solution of many possible ones :toothless

It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
End life, kills laughter.
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. :p
(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.

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 |
