New arrival
Hi everyone,
I discovered this forum in a search for interesting logic puzzles and programming exercises; ever since then, I have meandered through each of the quirky sections and found many topics discussed that interest me and many people after my own heart. I have always loved solving that challenge math problem, writing that tricky program (like a word processor), cracking that seemingly impossible code, and this seems like a great place to talk with people that have similar interests. It probably is also a good place to start getting into topics that have previously eluded me, such as calculus, and hone my skills in areas that I already know, such as trigonometry.
By the way, I am going into ninth grade.
Here's a fairly simple code to crack:
Hydrogen Iodine. Holmium Tungsten Argon Yttrium Oxygen Uranium?

Welcome to the forum!
The puzzle
HI.HoW Ar YOU? you are missing E.

hi bob
Europium is Eu,so it wouldn't work.

Re: New arrival
Granted. But then you can drop the
Yttrium Oxygen Uranium
and it works after a fashion.

Re: New arrival
True, true. I dropped the E because I couldn't figure out a way to fit it in, but your way works perfectly bob.

Hi Stormtangent;
Welcome to the forum.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
