So sad that a puzzle solution was leaked... what a bunch of a-holes
Well, I have no idea how to solve it and I have had my fair share of numbers thanks to s1n today.

ok, I couldn't take it anymore and looked at the solution...I just wasn't patient enough on the calculator - I even started looking for a pattern like that and then quit...would never have found that without hints - another trick added to the toolbelt!

Yeah I didn't really expect anyone to solve it without hints (or being extremely lucky).
Actually that book was what made some others solve it ... maybe you should have read it more carefully :D ... but that wasn't the intended way of solving it.

Got through Q1 - Q7 easily enough, then got stuck on Q8 and came back to the thread for hints, only to find that the puzzle has been canceled! What a shame. I'm not willing to give up and Google the answer just yet, though.
Regression analysis on the numbers given gave me a fourth-degree equation that appears to fit all of the numbers (for x=1, f(x)=5928; for x=2, f(x)=1411; etc.), but trying to plug x=6 into the equation gives a number that the quiz says is incorrect. Was I headed in the right direction by trying interpolation, or is the pattern something else entirely?

Ok, so ... this puzzle originally was hidden as the second step behind my "easy" puzzle. (I honestly thought that one would be easy -- well, perhaps it was, but apparently finding it was not? or not worth your time? you snobs. :P) I had hoped more people would get to that second puzzle, but ... yeah.
So anyways, since the first one is now over and the second one still has
a week5 days of life left ... here it is! There is no solver yet -- some have solved Q1-7, but so far Q8 has successfully held them back.I have already given some hints, and I will repeat them here (starting tomorrow). But for now, the ones who already found it still have a small lead.
Usual rules apply. Don't share any solutions, blah blah.
