    Yeah I had that feeling too.

    So are we looking at the value of an army? Or the value of counting?

    Well we're looking for the value of 'this', whatever that is.

    My thoughts are guiding me to something that is inherently valuable. But I'm coming up with nothing. Life? Life is valuable, but it doesn't have an actual numerical value.

    When the Romans counted the entirety of their whole army, their sum was greater than the value of this.

    could it be read as in their Sum total in the Sum Total of all romans?

    so there are more romans than there are (roman) soldiers in the army?

    Number of Romans in Total > Romans in the Army

    is what I'm trying to say.

    Initial guess would be one but let's have a think.

    A typical Roman army during this period consisted of five to six legions. One legion was made up of 10 cohorts. The first cohort had five centuria each of 160 soldiers. In the second through tenth cohorts there were six centuria of 80 men each.

    It's painted in blood. Could blood be 'this'

    Does the answer have to be a numeral value?

    so if 5 it is:

    5 x 160 = 800

    6 x 80 x 9 = 4320

    4320 + 800 = 5120

    5120 x 5 = 25,600

    so if 6 is:

    5 x 160 = 800

    6 x 80 x 9 = 4320

    4320 + 800 = 5120

    5120 x 6 = 30,720

    *** mod post ***

    Two accounts have been changed due to faulty login information so far this game. One yesterday, one today. The posters themselves were unable to post on them from the start.

    Those accounts that were changed were
    Desmond WW to Derry WW
    Winifred WW to Barbara WW

    The accounts may be different, but the people behind them are still the same.

    The original post has been updated to reflect the change

    Ok, so rolling back a bit

    Their sum was greater than the value of this.

    Maybe zero is right, but it's the wrong answer. So they counted their entire army - i.e. 1 army and that sum is great than the value of something which is valued at zero.

    The answer isn't zero, however. The answer is what is the thing that is valued at zero

    19 words in the puzzle. Could be 20. Don't think it is but throwing stuff out there.

    The wall being this makes sense to me. So an army / offense has more value than a wall / defense.

    You're just being pedantic for no reason now. We have to provide the solution to the puzzle, which is what i mean by 'answer'.

    Is there any historical significance to romans and walls?

    Im sorry i dont mean to be. Im just trying to look at this from different angles. It might spark someones imagination. Ive put forward 4 different theories now, so im not trying to put down others - just trying to extrapolate out on them.

    Like is there a story where the roman army was up against a huge wall that nobody thought they could overcome and they did or something like that?

    I mean they used to build walls in their forts. Hadrians wall on the Scottish / English border was a Roman wall. im sure they built lots more than that. Nothing specific to this riddle that i can see.

    It doesnt feel like the roman bit fits anything except numerals.....

    Arg.

    Also worth pointing out that i immediately googled the riddle and couldnt find anything, so i think some of the details (romans, army) may be superfluous to the answer and there to throw us off.

    Ok ok roll it back from the roman stuff. This is a play on 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts'.

    So is the answer 'its parts'

    and did it work?

    As in, did the wall do a better job than the army could. or did the wall fall and the army saved the day?
