Some comments

I just wanted to note that for the people that got 1/4 for the gcd*lcm problem, you were "correct" in method but incorrect in answer. I meant for the problem to read that a*b = 4096, so it was my fault, but the real problem with the whole thing is that no set of numbers exist satisfying the criteria I gave. I meant for the answer to be 4. Sorry about that.

I'll also comment that I feel like a lot of you (and by a lot of you I mean EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU) were VERY close-minded and didn't give any thought to the most important numbers in mathematics at ALL.

I assure you that there are FAR more important numbers out there than 4, 5, 100, etc. You guys REALLY should strive to think outside of the box sometimes. It won't hurt you and you might learn a thing or two really.
