It appears my questions have been too easy lately so I have asked my Persian wife to compose today's question:


ٌاشف هس فاث فخفشم دعئذثق خب ئثئذثقس فاشف صث اشرث خد اثقث فاشف زشد سحثشن ّشقسه



For those of you that cannot answer the above question,
I have prepared a mathematical question which may prove to be just as hard.


Suppose your point totals appeared as below, five minutes after being payed interest:


Points: 10,000
Bank: 10,000
Total Points: 20,000


You now sign off for exactly one week to the very minute. You sign on. What are the point totals now?



I expect many different answers today, so let's have yours. (You may answer either question.)

Would it be the same number of points? I don't think you get points just for signing in.

Well, I'll have to work on the math question for a bit....but in the meanwhile, I am quite capable of answering the first one:

The answer is:

Well, I'm not even going to attempt to answer the first question...


For the second one I'll guess 10,000 points + 10,612 bank = 20,612 total points.

OK...probably wrong and I'll have to keep thinking on it but....
my guess is:
Points: 10,000
Bank: 10,608.08
Total Points: 20,608.08

We are half way through the contest.
We do not have a winner.
You may resubmit your answer.
I will return in four hours to give the surprise answer.

BTW, one year ago had I been asked this question I would have answered 21,224 total.

So... I'll say 27,280 points, but I know I had to have messed up somewhere.....but where??? This is a hard one!!!
And fun to try and figure out!!!

Time is running out. Hint time:

Go to vbPlaza and select Bank.
Now look around at everything you see including all the numbers and times.
If you sit and look at these things long enough, you will be able to answer today's question!

A completely random guess:

Points: 10,000
Bank: 10,000
Total Points: 20,050

Haven't a clue and I can guarantee that's wrong.

Don't copy my answer anyone - I'm hopeless at maths and just said the first number that came into my head.

The nice thing about today's question is that if you have a week to spare, you will find out that my answer is correct. But then who could stay away from The Cat Site a week? Well, I did once and I performed the exact exercise I am giving you. Whereas I was dumbfounded at the answer, I understood it perfectly logically and when I explain it to you all later today, you will understand it perfectly too. Either that or I spent 20 years as a math teacher for nothing.


Final Hint with one hour to go.
Yes, 2% is paid every TWO days (48 hours that clicks down). (Sometimes.)
