And I say the Oompa Loompa's are the 3rd most important character(s), behind Charlie and Wonka. Therefore, by your own definition of the rules, as a main character, the question is allowed.
And guess what - it has been allowed


I know it's been allowed. If everything that's been allowed was ok, we wouldn't be having this thread.

And once again, it's not my definition of the rules; it's time you realized that.

You could count him as an American - as that was his adopted country - but in any case still not English.

But the question should be "What is the next number in the sequence: 1, 4, 8, 13?"

I understand it is the fibonacci sequence, but the question makes no sense with what you are supposed to do with it. In fact, it's not even a question, it's a command.

All numeric riddles are solved with finding the key. In this case number is just too small but it should work on a way that you sum next number in line with number of of letters in same number.

1+ (one- three letters=3) 3=4
4+ (four=4)= 8
8+( eight=5)= 13
13+ (thirteen=8)= 21 etc...

As Friendly cheesse wrote it could be simply addind next number to previous sum, it can have multiple answers.

Fibonacci sequence uses sum of last two numbers to get next one.

In chess, when/how many times can a pawn move more than one square?
On the first move <----------
Always
Never
When three squares+one to the side from another piece

Pawns can always move 2 squares from their starting position.

This has happened more than once to me...

The question had to do with "what was budgie..." I answered correctly "Helicopter" but then received this after clicking submit...

Wrong answer! The correct answer is: Greeks

I'm guessing something is picking up my answer (clicked circle) for the next question. It doesn't happen often but it's annoying!

That's not really what the answer says though... Yes, it can be interpreted your way; but Dark is right, the answer should change to "when the pawn is making its first move of the game", or something similar.
