In the last six months, (for the purposes of this puzzler) each of these forum members visited a certain number of lighthouses.


[*]Derith Bennet visited 4

[*]Bob McKeon visited 3

[*]Suzanne Murphy visited 4

[*]Sean Thompson visited 4

How many did Timothy Aucremann visit?

Well, that was my other guess, I was counting vowels in their names excluding the sometimes Y, but if you included the Y, six fit Tim's but not Suzanne's. So I am guessing it is something compleatly diffrent

Here's how I came up with 6 John.

Derith Bennett visited 4
4 syllables/ 4 Lighthouses Same number

Bob McKeon visited 3
4 syllables/ 3 Lighthouses Minus 1

Suzanne Murphy visited 4
4 syllables/ 4 lighthouses same number

Sean Thompson visited 4
3 syllables/ 4 Lightouses plus 1

How many did Timothy Aucremann visit?
6 syllables/ 6 Lightouses same number.

Did I guess your progression or just make a lucky guess?

It's a progression based on the number of vowels, including Y.

Vowels it is - but NOT including "Y". That's why Suzanne Murphy visited 4, not 5, therefore Timothy Aucremann visited 6 not 7. (You missed the "A" in Aucremann.)

You mean it wasn't because he joined the Lighthouse of the Month Club?

This is why I don't do these puzzles. my mind does not work in the corect way for them.

Even when I get the right answer I get it wrong.

At least my first answer works , even if it was not the method you chose.

Hmmm..... I actually had it right and did miscount due to overlooking the A in Aucremann
