I needed a way to test someone's ability of analysing text ...
... and filtering out the important parts for further analysation.

First I need to get it right, but for that I'd need your help.

I came up with a riddle that's not only solvable, but i think is also really easy.
It should be solvable from multiple angles, with some being easier than others.

I obviously can't do it myself, else i promise i wouldn't have bothered you!
If you have any advice or questions, shoot!

I'm all ears for any critique! :D



So .... the first thing that came to my mind is my personal classic.
I've spent at least an hour on this post now.


The amount of days, as number, from 1st of January to my birthday in a leapyear is a prime number, ...
... marks a day periodically celebrated on google.com and featured world wide, ...
... shares every digit with the divisors of the day's date ...
... and equals my height in cm.


Every digit of this number is a prime number, if ...
... and only if ...
... you consider one to be a prime number.


What's my height?




I'll fill the below now with blanks ...
... so there are no accidential spoilers. :)


Well, I mean ... I hope someone tries at least.

It's doable! Really! And it's not that hard! :D
i hope it causes a knot in the brain annoying enough to be worthy of being opened.

Critique welcome! :D
































thanks! :D

Wow, really smart! :D

But it's the wrong date. Lol
I must have missed your number when i checked, but i was tired as well.
I'll mail you the solution, please remove the number from your post though. :D

Really well done, I'm thoroughly impressed! :D


Edit: editted the op to avoid false positives.

My shot at it. Took about 8 minutes, might need to do some less lazy work, haha: http://pastebin.com/v6DpXaZr

... shares every digit with the divisors of the day's date ...

only number that shares all the same digits as the divisors

This wording was that hardest part for me.

Thanks for the Riddle. was enjoyable

I'm disappointed. I thought you'd be adorably short at 157cm :p

Text analysis reveals your a cyclope living on a small island in Polynesia. There you lead an idyllic existence herding small porcupines. The rest of your time is spent writting letters on the rectangular magic mirror you found when a naturalist, rich in proteins, landed on your property.
