[Mahdi]

Rules are simple:  Whoever posts the correct answer gets to ask the next question relating to anything.  Every two days they must post a hint.  If it goes a week, they post the answer and then a new question.

First question:

Which character of Dune had  relative that was completly ignored in the prequels, and what was the relation?

[nemafakei]

Would that be Duncan Idaho and his sister, since I just replied to a post about it?

[Mahdi]

yup,your turn.

[nampigai]

lol I didn't even see it, guess I'm a little slow.

[nemafakei]

Ummm... OK...

Who was Harq Al Ada, and what was their official title and secret function? (Easy for some, impossible for others...)

[nampigai]

Harq Al Ada, was the new name of prince Faradn, his function was to work against Leto II, and make the weight equal.

[nemafakei]

Not exactly what I thought...

[thomas]

I have an easy one but can't say it.

[Vanguard3000]

All I remember was that he (Al-Ada/Faradn Corrino) was to...err... "assist" Ghanima in continuing the Atreides bloodline.

[nemafakei]

Yes!

And finally, the official position in the court of Leto II?

[quoudam72]

That means Vanguard3000 gets to ask the next question.

[Vanguard3000]

I believe Faradn was to be a historian or recorder of events or something.

Anyway, here's my question.

[quoudam72]

WTF Mahdi said a question not a riddle from the sphinx. lol  J/k this is one way to get the old brain cells working.

[Usul]

well e is 6 and f is 15

[gryphon]

Arrakis is the third planet of Canopus.

The price of spice per decagram is about 620.000 solaris aroound the year 10.191 ( approx. )

The last Emperor that bared the name Saddam

[Usul]

so that means its (620 00/4) - 10 195 + 3/6+15 = 5320.5.I think. ;D

[gryphon]

You think ? ;)

[Usul]

hey im crap at maths :'(

[Vanguard3000]

A few hints:

-This question is actually quite easy.  Nearly all of the answers can be found in the Terminology of the Imperium.

-So far, no right totals, although some of the numbers are correct.

-In order for the number to be written as an integer, it would have to be written as a fraction.

-I wrote (b) badly, so I'll rephrase it for clarification:  Shaddam __ was the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe responsible for doubling the number of Sardaukar Bursegs during the first 16 years of his reign".

-When calculating, remember the BEDMAS system: Brackets, Exponents, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction.

-When I said "have fun" I was joking.  Mua-Muah-MUAHAHAHAAAA-*COUGH*.

[nampigai]

is it 144819,5?

[Vanguard3000]

Feyd:  No, but you're on the right track.  Post the equation you're using, including the numbers in place of the letters.

[nampigai]

Damn ;D

Well

a: 620,000

b: 4

c: 10,193

d: 3

e: 6

f: 15

[Vanguard3000]

I think I'll say Feyd wins this round.  He's got all of the numbers right, but for some reason his calculation is a bit off.  I keep getting 144822.5.

Congrats, Feyd!  I look foreward to your question.

[nampigai]

WOOOHOOO,

hey I get the same now I must have made a mistake

well here's an easy one:

Who was Harq-al Ada's father?

[Usul]

Hey I posted the answer first >:( ??? :'(
