It would have helped if you had told us to use everyone's first names. I thought you meant just Superman.

Well, my X marks the spot treasure hunt blew up yesterday but I will make sure that the next one is more your style (thumbs u

By first names only, did you mean Superman's identity?

I thought the same thing, and did it as-is with the exception of "Clark".

 

Congrats to the winner.

I am looking for first names only.

We have a winner!

 

Here is my math - double-check me guys, my credibility is weak after yesterday's fiasco

 

Storm = Ororo = 15+18+15+18+15=81

Nightcrawler = Kurt = 11+21+18+20=70

Batman = Bruce = 2+18+21+3+5=49

Superman's secret identity = Clark = 3+12+1+18+11=45

Hulk also = Bruce = 2+18+21+3+5=49

Spider-Man = Peter = 16+5+20+5+18=64

Wolverine = Logan = 12+15+7+1+14=49

Wonder Woman = Diana = 4+9+1+14+1

 

(81)(70)+(49)(45)=5670+2205=7875

49+64+49+29=191

 

7875/191=41.23......= 41

 

 

I could be wrong but Wikipedia was source, blame them:

 

Hulk = Dr. Robert Bruce Banner

Wolverine = James Howlett, commonly known as Logan

 

The rest were the same as you listed

[silverage12c]

Funny thing . . . I didn't know whether to use "Logan" or "James" for Wolverine. Turns out that the (rounded) result is the same either way.

49+64+49+29=191

 

7875/191=41.23......= 41

 

Based on order of operations (with the way you wrote the equation), it should be (7875/49) + 64+49+29 for a total of 302.71 (rounded to 303). Check it for yourself in excel.

Yea same for me, that's why I went with James for Wolverine and Robert for Hulk

 

Except the result is different when Robert is used.

By first names only, did you mean Superman's identity?

I thought the same thing, and did it as-is with the exception of "Clark".

 

Congrats to the winner.

I did the same thing. I thought Superman was the exception.

I think all the four sums were clearly part of the denominator in the formula rather than just the 49 which would have been written as

 

(Storm)(Nightcrawler)+(Batman)(Superman's secret identity)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa + Spider-Man + Wolverine +Wonder Woman

Hulk

 

So I will overrule that challenge.

Congrats to the winner.

I did the same thing. Why was Superman the only one that specified a secret identity?

Without it, it might have been a question of "Kal-El" vs. "Clark"

You gotta keep math away from funny book collectors

College student on still on the last leg of summer break over here. I think my brain hurts now.

[gacguy]

Storm = Ororo =81

Nightcrawler = Kurt =70

Batman = Bruce = 49

Superman's secret identity = Clark = 45

Hulk = Robert = 78

Spider-Man = Peter = 64

Wolverine = James = 48

Wonder Woman = Diana = 29

 

((81*70)+(49*45))/(78+64+48+29) = 35.95890410958904109589 = 36

I was rushing to get the question up at 10:00 and forgot to post the prize! And now my scanner is on the fritz

 

But, the prize is a CGC 9.8 copy of Civil War 2 #0787501029
