I do not care any longer. There is such thing as beating a pony to death.

I like to disassemble things.
This is like an obstacle course. Next up - the ADM's await! If you make it past that stage and to the finals it'll be the "cross your fingers game" if you are hoping your dealer can actually get a CF TP or not.

Crikey.

Appears that the middle number is different then the last one.

If it’s not at least 760 hp I will be disappointed.

The last number aligns perfectly over the second number in Photoshop. Could definitely be the same number.

If so then it would be one of the following,
755
766
788
799

well, that about nails it down. :like:
Okay, so the lower left (I was right about the order of reveal; I was wrong that we'd get no info from the lower left)...


Anyway, it's anywhere from 730 to 799.

You're right, nails it down. :giggle:

The more I look at the lower curve on the right, the harder it is to justify a double-loop there. So, I'll call it "9" or "0."

If it were 739, would they call it 740? I honestly don't know how this kind of marketing goes.

Depends on the font with how little they are showing of the second number. For instance, with the font iOS 12 uses, that small bit of the 5 and 9 are an exact match.

My guess is that they'll be exact. The GT350 is listed at 526. The previous gen GT500 was listed at 662. Those are extremely precise numbers.

Based on what we have so far, I believe the HP is one of the following: 730, 750, 760, 780, 790, 739, 759, 769, 789, 799. :inspect:

Had some time to try and figure the puzzle but it seems that any number you put in the middle will for in perfectly.. so its hard to know whats the number in the middle with just 2 puzzles

What's the font you're using? I just did the same exercise with Future italic and, having to put the spacing much tighter, came up with 750 as plausible and 760 as too crowded. But your version makes it clear that either is equally doable.

As I suppose 730 something or 780 something would be. Except that the former would be disappointing and the latter would be too much to hope for.

You're absolutely right about the 662. Seems to be, though, that at least for marketing purposes they couldn't get away with rounding up to "5" and wouldn't have wanted to round down to "0." Really though, what you say makes the most sense.

So, the hope of 769 lives another day. :D

Well it needs to be 750+ at least. The whole 700++ moniker would not jive with the less than that. As I said earlier 740 is not ++ to me..unless they going by integers of 20.
