    Site's not secure.

    WTF is it anyway?

    Good evening Jim,


    It's a maths puzzle.


    It has an SSL cert and doesn't collect any identifiable information about anyone, so I'm not sure how more secure it can be.


    Do give it a go....

    There's no instructions. All I see is 1. 2. 3. And then three blank boxes.

    Yes - you have to work them out

    You'll have to do more than that. Work what out? Why 6 boxes with 3 already filled in? Is it an equation or a number? Is there an indication of what entries are right in wrong box or right in right box or just wrong? Nerdle it certainly isn't.

    An example wouldn't kill you.

    Exactly - Its not Wordle or Nerdle - Its Ivraka

    It really isn't Jim.

    29 People have worked it out with no hints so far and when 100 people work it out, a new one starts.

    Make that 30

    @gameofivraka #ivraka_1 - correct answer 30

    @Freddio You should consider a new puzzle every day. I'll have forgotten about this by the time 100 people solve it

    Thanks @Sigma101,

    A few people have suggested that. I was hoping it would ramp up quickly enough that there would be many hundreds in a day and then automatically it would be one new one every day.

    I have just posted #2 while I work the logistics out

    @gameofivraka #ivraka_2 - correct answer 1

    Freddio, I think your sequence is way too short to establish a pattern. There are too many possibilities to solve it. I only got the answer because I found a question on Quora with the same numbers. In that question the clue was 6 numbers long, not 3. The solution relates to patterns across pairs of numbers, but you only give one complete pair so a pattern cant be established.

    Ahh Sigma101!

    That's cheating, but I think you can see how it is taking shape. Some of the puzzles will be cryptic, some will be logical and some will be numeric. You have 5 attempts per day but it's not like Wordle where it keeps hinting. Once you become familiar with the angles Ivraka is coming from, I hope it will become infectious.

    Also I'm not sure if the pattern Quora reports is the one in #ivraka_2 if your solution is predicated on pairs?

    You're right, I cheated this time. I was wrong about the pairs bit but now know what the pattern is. I'll have another go tomorrow - hopefully without cheating!

    I'm finding this very difficult so far. I'm kicking myself that I couldn't figure out yesterday's.

    Btw - big improvement giving the solution to the previous day's puzzle.

    Thanks Sigma101,

    I think it's going to be more interesting to maths hackers than New York Times readers. It will exercise the brain more...

    Straightforward sequence today- got it after a couple of turns. I had no chance with yesterday's - I'd never heard of Pascal's triangle!

    There was an issue with yesterday's ivraka #10. The sequence was 1, 3, 5. The answer given today for the sequence is "prime numbers". But 1 is not prime, 2 is prime. The start sequence should have been 2, 3, 5 perhaps?

    I will put my hand up on that one. There is some debate as to whether 1 is a prime number as the definition of one is a number divisible only by one and itself. Notwithstanding, two should have been in there but I think I was trying to steer away from another 1,2,3 and got lost in thought.


    I see no one is getting today's one so I will clarify that it is continuing on from yesterday's Roman theme.
