i'm a little confsed no 1 is 5 8,you've given the answer for 41 where does the 3 9 2 3 7 5 7 ?

[slaney]

Maybe 5 8 taken from the answer to 41 means removing "three quarters" from that answer. But nothing comes to mind yet....

(5,8) is part of the question I assume it relates to the answer of no.41?

[slaney]

...and it does mean just that..
The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter - Conan Doyle
