Maybe the number sequence refers to gestation periods? As in 9 months for a human, 22 months for an elephant, 8 months for a hippopotamus...  :lol:



In which case the answer would be "A Baby" :D

I was thinking a dates too.

Alas the puzzle states: "Put all of them" .. So we are looking at a menagerie of babies...  :D

Oh and the numbers 20 and 18 don't correspond to any gestation period known to me or my sources. (Unless you include a pre-mature elephant, and a VERY pre-mature elephant..)

I also had a look at labelling the various numbers as for instance 9 seconds, 22 minutes etc etc. Can't see anything that makes sense. I have a new theory. It is so obvious.

It is a girl from germany. And I have evidence:

Yes. Look at the friendid. It's a sign.

Did you look at the profile of the one person who's commented on there? Check it out. Scroll down and look at the "General" section. Twilight Zone stuff right there! lol

You get a Jesus Fish!

Found this: "The fish symbol has been used for millennia worldwide as a religious symbol associated with the Pagan Great Mother Goddess. It is the outline of her vulva. The fish symbol was often drawn by overlapping two very thin crescent moons."


Those numbers correspond the the Greek alphabet and spell ICTUS. Placed inside a vulva, you get a Jesus Fish!

If you take the 9th, the 22nd, the 8th, the 20th, and the 18th, and put them inside a vulva, what do you have?


I have no idea.  This definately calls for a dirty joke, though!  (Which I am graciously keeping to myself ;)

I hope someone figures the answer out soon, otherwise I'll be forced to obsessively think about vulvas for the week... *sigh*

So, yeah, my Greek is rough. I suppose that should be ICHTHUS?

He he... you said hardest.  :D

Ok sorry. Clearly this puzzle destroyed what was left of my brain.
Anyways, I agree. This was an excellent puzzle.
