    U looks a bit like a horeshoe, and a horeshoe gives good luck

    has anyone tried "horseshoe" and "a horseshoe"?

    has anyone thought of Os and Xs being NOUGHTS and CROSSES (mulitplication)

    i know the answer is not numerical, but maybe if you use phonetics on the end result...

    A) I am white's first move in the game of kings I have how many choices?
    Well, I am not sure that the first move has any choices, the player making it does...

    B) Number of ways of winnings 0s and Xs
    Probably equal to 8 or 16

    C) "As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats, every cat had seven kitts. Kitts, cats, sacks, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?"
    We don't know how many people were going there, we only know this man was, but many others could have been.

    D) How many rings not owned by elves?
    Probably 17

    (Unknown * 17) = Unknown
    (Zero times 8) = zero

    So I've tried answers like "don't know nothing" with no luck

    Of course there is the problem that I'm using quite a lot of the information and I should just use 2 lines.

    U = (1 * 17) + (20 * 16) = three hundred thirty seven
    U = (1 * 17) + (21 * 8) = one hu ...[text shortened]... 16) = three hundred fifty three

    Have you tried all of those?
    well there's 17 rings only if you count Narya as still owned by Cirdan the Shipwright. Technically though they only hold 2 of the 20 because Cirdan gave his ring to Gandalf, who is not an elf, but rather Maiar.

    Edit: oooh, I'm not the only nerd out there. Thousand pointed this out on page 2. Well, I guess I'm on a correspondence chess site so not too surprising really.

    some think that U is the universal set, ie everything.

    from iamatiger's view, it seems that U in the riddle amounts to either zero or undefined, both of which are, in a sense, a null result.

    is there something to do with this polarity?

    Here's a crazy, off the wall idea! How about you try and spell it...... 'correctly' **Dramatic music**

    It's shepherd.

    Remember only 99% of the Internet is porn and games, try using that faithful lowly other 1%....

    each pawn can move 1 of two spaces = 16

    16 + 4 =20

    However, some people have said that white can also resign in move 1, so maybe 21?

    EDIT: Tidied up a bit. First go was rushed 😳
    resigning on move one is not a move. he didn't move anything,
    just admitting he lost, or refusing to move.

    A=20, 4 knight moves plus each pawn has two moves, remember?
    16 pawn moves plus 4 knight=20.
    B=16 (8X+ 8O
    C=1, duh.
    D probably All of them.

    Just for those who haven't read the previous posts and are still working on the equation... THE ANSWER IS NOT NUMERIC!!!

    Crazy internet junkies have tried every single number from 1 to 9999 in both numeric and written form.
