Can 4 = 6 and 10 = 1000? : Another Grandpa Question












13












$begingroup$


Grandpa likes PSE. He is amazed at the smart puzzle solvers who seem to solve any of his riddles. So he constantly tries to think of new challenging questions.



So he says:



"Ask Tom, SteveV, Jafe, Rand, elguest, hex, Bass and other smart guys



Is it possible to prove




4 = 6



and



10 = 1000




using same logic (that is what I call it)



and no math operations?"

$begingroup$

My final answer:
For 4=6:




In Roman, 4 is IV.

But rot13(IV) is VI!

VI in Roman is 6,

so 4=6.




Similarly
For 1000=10




In Roman, 10 is X.

But rot13(X) is K.

K isn’t roman for 1000, but it does mean 1000.

So 10=1000.




Attempt 2(wrong again!):



My guess would be:



From @Rand al’Thor




I think it might be something to do with


the fact that all of the puzzlers mentioned in the question - Tom, SteveV, Jafe, Rand, elguest, hex, Bass - have tag badges (bronze, silver, or gold) in the riddle tag.

Which makes it ironic that


I just edited the riddle tag out of your question because it's not a riddle! :-P

Which then makes me think that the numbers might have something to do with


the requirements for earning a tag badge. Specifically, the number of answers/votes you need for a silver one is 4 times the number you need for a bronze one, while the number you need for a gold one is 10 times that, which comes to 1000 votes. I just don't see the relevance of 6 ...




But I seem to have the answer.



For 10=1000




The number of votes you need for a gold badge is 1000, which is 10 times those for bronze.




For 4=6




I just browsed the six user profiles, and except for Rand al’Thor
and El-Guest, the remaining four have silver or below in the riddle tag.




ORIGINAL ANSWER(INCORRECT):



Partial answer:




4=6

This can be proven by using Roman numerals

4=IV

6=VI

IV=VI

So 4=6




Then for part 2:




10 = 1000 if we consider 0 to have no value - literally!

Just going to give this a try. Was not even aware that this stackExchange existed!




4=6 -> 4=IV, 6 = VI

10=1000 -> 10=X, 1000=M


IV=VI

X=M

Step 1, remove all vertical lines

Step 2, cut off the lower half of the character

IV=VI --> V=V --> /=/

X=M --> X=v* --> V=V


*the v is floating in the air, its the "v" part of M once the vertical lines are removed

    Well...




    in many tribal languages, for example that of the Caquintes, numerals higher than two or three are just a word that means "many" (in Caquinte language's case, "oshequi").
    So our expressions become "oshequi" = "oshequi" and "oshequi" = "oshequi". Voilà!

        $begingroup$

        My final answer:
        For 4=6:




        In Roman, 4 is IV.

        But rot13(IV) is VI!

        VI in Roman is 6,

        so 4=6.




        Similarly
        For 1000=10




        In Roman, 10 is X.

        But rot13(X) is K.

        K isn’t roman for 1000, but it does mean 1000.

        So 10=1000.




        Attempt 2(wrong again!):



        My guess would be:



        From @Rand al’Thor




        I think it might be something to do with


        the fact that all of the puzzlers mentioned in the question - Tom, SteveV, Jafe, Rand, elguest, hex, Bass - have tag badges (bronze, silver, or gold) in the riddle tag.

        Which makes it ironic that


        I just edited the riddle tag out of your question because it's not a riddle! :-P

        Which then makes me think that the numbers might have something to do with


        the requirements for earning a tag badge. Specifically, the number of answers/votes you need for a silver one is 4 times the number you need for a bronze one, while the number you need for a gold one is 10 times that, which comes to 1000 votes. I just don't see the relevance of 6 ...




        But I seem to have the answer.



        For 10=1000




        The number of votes you need for a gold badge is 1000, which is 10 times those for bronze.




        For 4=6




        I just browsed the six user profiles, and except for Rand al’Thor
        and El-Guest, the remaining four have silver or below in the riddle tag.




        ORIGINAL ANSWER(INCORRECT):



        Partial answer:




        4=6

        This can be proven by using Roman numerals

        4=IV

        6=VI

        IV=VI

        So 4=6




        Then for part 2:




        10 = 1000 if we consider 0 to have no value - literally!

        @ThomasWeller That's a downside of this puzzle ... but in context, as a PSE regular, I'm pretty sure these are the users meant.

        Just going to give this a try. Was not even aware that this stackExchange existed!




        4=6 -> 4=IV, 6 = VI

        10=1000 -> 10=X, 1000=M


        IV=VI

        X=M

        Step 1, remove all vertical lines

        Step 2, cut off the lower half of the character

        IV=VI --> V=V --> /=/

        X=M --> X=v* --> V=V


        *the v is floating in the air, its the "v" part of M once the vertical lines are removed

                Well...




                in many tribal languages, for example that of the Caquintes, numerals higher than two or three are just a word that means "many" (in Caquinte language's case, "oshequi").
                So our expressions become "oshequi" = "oshequi" and "oshequi" = "oshequi". Voilà!

Han vart Ridder av 1. klasse av St. Olavs Orden i 2003, og er som ivrig friluftsmann æresmedlem i Den Norske Turistforening etter å ha ytt store økonomiske bidrag til foreininga sine hytter og ruter i fjellet. Han er kjend for alltid å gå med ei karakteristisk strikkelue.

Opninga inn mot nedre nasegang er delvis tildekt av ei ufullstendig slimhinnefold kalla Hasners ventil. Overflødige tårer strøymer gjennom tårekanalen og trekker inn i nedre nasegang. Dette er grunnen til at ein kan få rennande nase når ein gret, og at ein somme gonger kan kjenne saltsmaken av tårer i munnen. Både tårekanalen og tåresekken er tekt med fleirlaga sylinderepitel som inneheld slimproduserande begerceller, og er begge omgjevne av bindevev. Dakryostenose (tårekanalstenose) er ei innsnevring av tårekanalen som fører til epifora, ei overflod av tårer. Medfødd dakryostenose kan føra til cystisk utviding av tårekanalen ved at det dannast ein dakryocystocele. Personar m...
