EDIT: f added, list complete!

You need to supply 100 talismans. You have 100 euros. Gold=6 euros, Silver=3 euros, and Wood=0.1 euros.

We need to figure out how many of each are required to total 100, at a cost of 100 euros or less.

Mathematicians ready? Solve!!

16 gold = 96
1 silver = 3
10 wood = 1
total 100

10 gold=60
10 silver=30
80 wood=8
This gives 100 talismans for 98 euros. I guess its ok to have 2 euros left over ?
I think the clue required 100 talismans.
peace.

I assumed we'd have to find the euros first- trade them and then go to the skunk forum. I have no idea how the 'collecting' works though.. this is the first ATS game I've played.

Something else that's nagging at me:

"you will have one opportunity"

Each person will have one shot at entering the answer, or collectively we have one shot? The former, I hope...

Found:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Please, oh please, do not enter anything until we are all in agreement on the answer!!

How the hell did you find that? Nice going.

I thought here = the forums, so I replaced index.php with 24.php, and voila!

Do we all agree that the answer should be 10 Gold Talismans, 10 Silver Talismans, and 80 Wood Talismans?

sounds good to me.
good work everyone

Who says who had it first?
Who ever thinks they know the answer better enter it.
