[K] Third Eye Blind, Losing A Whole Year: a word problem

K. Song #5: Total the days of each year, as if the mention of each counts as a seperate loss. Take into account that there'd be two leap years. Days in bed never count as a loss. Each mention gains you an additional week. All combined, how many days are lost?

K. Song #5:

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/third+eye+ ... 36740.html is pretty good, but the last "losing a whole year isn't mentioned in the song itself..

Total the days of each year, as if the mention of each counts as a seperate loss. -> 365 x 8 (number of times "Losing a whole year") = 2920
Take into account that there'd be two leap years. -> +2 = 2922.

Days in bed never count as a loss. Each mention gains you an additional week. = 3 weeks in bed. (3x7=21)

All combined, how many days are lost?

2922 - 21 = 2901.

One Theory.

Actually, if the days in bed aren't lost but instead give you a week instead we shouldn't count them towards the loss...
We might have to subtract 3 first and then add 21 to it... So that'd put us at 2898.

This could be.

The other theory that's big counts each of the 3 times as one day that wasn't lost in addition to giving it a week and thus puts it at 2898.

Deagol did some math that came up with a 310-933-xxxx #.

2898 works into that solution.

To get the last 4 digits of this possible #, we only need tweak C & D. Those are known and possible letters.

You'd also need to tweak E and F to get possible answers to the last 4 digits..

With C=9
And D=3

You get the number : 3109335901
Please note that I also did : E=10.
