    Nope not me....thought i stood a very good chance yesterday but clearly not i entered within 5 seconds of 10am chime yesterday so god knows how quick someone must have been lol...
  • I think the answer is 50
  • x=17
    y=9
    z=8

    xxzz = 50

    Why?

    xxyz = zzyx+9
    xyz = zzy +9
    x = z +9

    Just guessed z and it worked a charm. :o)

    Exactly what I did, except for guessing z.

    zzyx is 2 less than yyyx, so came to the conclusion z = y-1 (though admittedly before doing the equation above).
