these people dont know without seeing your page. it depends on many things, like if you used a editor or not. the best way would be to ask the people that made the puzzle.

Great puzzle, took me awhile to make it to f=1, g=4. The letters are from a-i: 9,8,7,2,6,1,4,5,3.\n\nPlugged in this is: (9 * 87 + 2/6) / (14 + 5/3) or (783 + 1/3) / (15 + 2/3) which equals 50.\n\nAnswer logged Sunday, March 12th, 3:20 pm with no other valid answers yet. Sorry to have to write that, but I've seen people change their answers too many times in the past.

To solve quickly requires great practice at finding "hidden singles". A hidden single is a square which is the only square in either its row, column or 3x3 block that may contain a specific number.\n\nTry this website for many Sudoku resources\n\nhttp://count.ucsc.edu/~aglesser/Sudoku/index.html\n\nIn particular, the following is an excellent tutorial:\n\nhttp://angusj.com/sudoku/hints.php

make any numbers that are visibly involved BIGGER so that they can't possibly be perceived as jumbled or confusing.  Use bright colors, make knobs bigger than usual, make words BIGGER than usual, makes sentences STAND OUT in VIVID colors, and if you can, try to use sound bytes as positive/negative reinforcement.  For instance, for a wrong answer or anything that is wrong, associate it with an immediate sound that relates only to the wrongs.  And for the right, let there be an immediate sound byte that is associated with the right answer, etc.  Good luck!

You have to exercise your brain like you do your body.  Do crosswords, math problems, word games.  My mother had this problem and her doctor recommended doing these things and she has seen improvement.

Take a speed reading course!  There are now computer programs you can purchase that will help you read faster.\n\nBy learning to read faster it increases your comprehension levels.  Then the more you read the more you learn.  Thus increasing your ability to  adapt your learning levels.  IQ  is actually a way to test your comprehension level.  If you learn faster and can retain that knowledge you increase your IQ!  But if you don't do the work to increase your IQ, by taking a speed reading course for example, you aren't going to go anywhere.  This is the only way to really make a difference.  You are born with a certain  IQ level.  Only by doing the hard work to learn and expand your knowledge can you do anything to change it!\n\nI took a speed reading class in school and it changed my life!

Practice with easy stuff that you can quickly remember.\n\nFor instance, if you want to be able to add numbers quickly, remember how to add numbers 1 through 9 to each other (ie 5 + 9 = 14; 2+8 = 10). Once you know these, try writing down double digit numbers and try to solve them in your head.  You will already know how to do the ones column.\n\nFor instance:\n   45\n+19\n-------\n64\n\nLearn easy problems first then move on to hard ones.  You can apply this to subtraction, division, and multiplication too.  It really is just practice that will make you better.

Logic puzzles is one way.  Anything involving computer programming, or even just macro writing, is good for logical thought and analysis.  Chess is excellent, as are many other games.  Look for games of pure reason, where chance is not a factor, or games of chance where calculating the odds is important.  \n\nRead.  Read whatever interests you, but go for the very best of whatever category you like.  Mysteries are especially good for developing reasoning: can you figure out who dunnit before the detective in the story does?  (Which reminds me, speaking of games; play Clue!)\n\nAnd of course, Yahoo! Answers will help a great deal, if you take it seriously.  Enjoy the jokes and riddles, but don't waste your time with those who ask dumb questions just to see if they can get a laugh out of the answers.

If you're looking for easy/fun stuff, your local bookstore probably has a number of books in the games section with cryptograms and the like. If you're looking for more fun, try looking in the software or computer science sections for books with more rigorous puzzles, or introductory security textbooks with exercises.
