Mm Sand works better, I think the Knight has this one. (and he was faster too!)

I heard that one before, so I'm pretty sure that it is correct. Though I had to think a bit to remember.

You have to convert it into Roman numerals.

 

[Thanee]

I only know I, V, X, C, M from the roman numerals.

Sand is correct (and so was David).

A hundred and one
by fifty divide,
And if a cipher
is rightly applied,
The answer is one from nine.


If you get this one.... I don't know what I'll do but it will probably have to do with bowing and admitting you are a genius and master of the world.

You have to convert it into Roman numerals.

Yep, that was the toughest part, realizing that there is a roman numeral for 500, and that it is D.

 

[Knight Otu]

I'll concede.

Clio, the Greek Muse (one of nine muses)

 

[Knight Otu]

I'm impressed! Of course, you have to know that cipher also stands for 0.

I have thought way to complicated and mathematically .

Close enough - A pool table

Pool tables have six legs hereabouts.
