Thanks for dropping by 😉 but does my grandfather actually needs help ?
Emmmm... Read on to find out.
However, before we proceed, i would like to make an announcement and it's that for now the conventional blogging style (of which some may find boring and also common in this community) would be paused. Let's move on to something more fun, like a game. This game(s) however would be interesting, educative and rewarding, and it's also expected to conform with the philosophy of this community (STEM related). So who's ready to play?
In the absence of any response except mine as at the time of writing this - majority carries the vote, let's get on with it. 😎
Early this morning, my grandfather and I were having a conversation about great men of science, particularly in the 17th century. He seemed to be talking about one that was very amusing to him, this historical figure was amongst the leading experts in horology as at the time. According to my grandfather, when he was younger he so loved reading about certain great men of science that he also kept records of their date of birth and death in his head. But due certain circumstances such as old age, he seemed to have forgotten the year this particular historical figure died and he needs your help remembering this year. Can you help my grandfather figure out this forgotten year. The clues below may be of assistance.
The first three digits of this forgotten year is a number whose square root gives the first two odd numbers.
To get the last digit of this forgotten year, we need to find the last digit of the mathematical operation given below
5^140 (which reads 5 raised to the power of 140)
The last clue isn't as hard as you may think.
Well, if you think the clues presented are too hard, you can try others which has been presented earlier, though not stated explicitly - re-read the article again, especially the part just after the first image of this article and also the image itself.
There's also a price to be awarded, as commanded by my grandfather. A total of 2 hive to be distributed, 1 hive to the first person who provides the answer and the remaining to be shared amongst at most the second three to also provide answers. The answer should be provided at the end of this article in the comment section and it should be provided from now (May 6) till the next three days (May 9).
Disclaimer
Please note that there was never any conversation between me and my grandfather. In fact, i never met any of my grandfathers - they had died before i was born. The conversation presented here is purely a work of fiction. 😂
Lastly, with regards to the riddle presented in my previous article, especially to who is curious about the actual answer. The actual answer or rather the answer i was expecting is/was "elastic", though you were very close. Sorry this is coming late from me.
It's here we conclude this episode, have a thoughtful day and see you next time.
