Each gender uses the last number posted as a reference. If you are female, you add 1 to the last number and post the resulting sum, and if you are male you subtract 1 and post the resulting difference.

For example, the last number posted was 260...you would then post 261, while a male would post 259. Another rule is that no one can post consecutively.

I recommend quoting the post containing the last number for clarity. If the females can get the number of to 1,000 they win, whereas if the males can get the number down to 0, then we win. The game always begins with 500.

Oh yes, we'll, I understand how the game works but I haven't seen any ladies post. So I guess... 1

The last number posted before you posted was 225, so you would add 1 to that and post "226".

I am going to behave as if you did post "226" and so subtract 1 from that and post "225"...

221 = 11^2 + 10^2

 

[tango]

221 = 11^2 + 10^2

220 = 11x11 + 10x10 - 1x1

 

[MarkFL]

220 = 11x11 + 10x10 - 1x1

219 is the smallest number with 2 representations as a sum of 4 positive cubes:

219 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 6^3 = 3^3 + 4^3 + 4^3 + 4^3
