Using the numbers associated with those images, and taking the numbers you give to be binary, (1*(750-1458))+1913+4+1 = 1210. Too simple, I'm sure... Nickptar 04:34, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You got part of it right, but that's not what I'm looking for. -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:37, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oops! I screwed up the question... the binary numbers should have been 0010 not 0001. My fault -- AllyUnion (talk) 06:41, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Rebus, eh?

Motorcycle - motor = cycle.
2 * cycle = bicycle
Bicycle + assembly line = Henry Ford? (on bicycle, it says Ford got his start in the bicycle business)
Henry Ford + 4 = William Clay Ford Jr. (great-grandson, found via Ford Motor Company)
Bill Ford + 2 = Damned if I know.

I'm guessing that the answer is something new, however. --Nickptar 07:02, 22 Jun 2005

Nope. You're close. It is, a phrase, like the other one. -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ford sounds like four, so Ford + 4 = Henry VIII? But what phrase is Henry VIII + 2? Does the binary have to do with the answer? Nickptar 08:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You figured out that it reads something like: Bicycle + something + 4 + 2 -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:18, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Attempt here

The rebus goes (2*(motorcycle - motor)) + assembly line) + 4 + 2. (the numbers are, of course, in Binary). Then is the answer a bicycle built for two, or maybe a tandem bicycle? ESkog 19:04, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Correct! The answer goes to ESkog. The answer, being Bicycle built for two. -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:46, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
