Ha haha we posted those both at once.

Yeah these are just random numbers. Funny trick, Dad!

R-r-r-random, r-r-random! Just saying whatever numbers come into the top of your head! Ooh! It's a picture of New York!

The same solution applies to the following numbers:
8,5,4,9,1,7,6,3,2.

Also, New York. N-n-n-new York.


But not New Jersey.

Good puzzle Dad, you win.

They ARE just a bunch of random numbers!

Blogger Mom said...

Let's see. The solution applies to each of these:
Caleb Edwin Murphy

Laura Mae Murphy

Catherine Frey Murphy

but not to:

Lucas Edward Murphy

or Thomas Frederick Murphy.

It does not apply to "random numbers" but does apply to "numbers random."

It applies to
angry brown crocodiles
but not to
furious red crocodiles.

Think about initials.

Not random. They were chosen for their alphabetical attributes.

How did Anna know the answer?

Blogger Luke Murphy said...

They are random numbers placed in a non-random order. You could do it with any 9 numbers you choose.

Anna is just really smart like that. And pretty, too.
