...ok, my post didn't appear the first time i tried this. so let me try again...
...i can't believe you beat me to it XFox ^_^ I just figured out the answer this morning and I was hoping no one else had already said it. (Marik, if you couldn't get this,.... I'm starting to wonder whether or not I should really ask you for any help if I ever need it with my math homework.)
So XFox, how long did it take you to get the answer? I worked a whole hour on it. I didn't even pay attention in my math class just so that I could figure out the answer. But it was still hard to guess seeing how the only thing I knew was that it wasn't a multiple of 7 or 8

._. How do you people do that crazy math? Wow.
Er, could only find one that claimed to be a paradox. Here 'tis:
Four men sat down to play. They played all night till break of day. They played for gold and not for fun, With separate scores for everyone. When they all came to square accounts, They all made quite fair amounts. Can you this paradox explain? If no one lost, how could all gain?

when it came to the crazy math, this is what i did.
look for all numbers that were a multiple of eleven. make sure it ends in zero when you add all the digits of that particular number together, make sure it ends up being a multiple of three.
...that's a crazy paradox. it makes my brain hurt

25740 Good gawd, XFox lol This man does not have limits. Once again proving hes the deadliest ninja I know. As for any of the new ones, i'm so out of my league, don't even know why I check this thread lol. I gave up on guessing. At first I multiplied all numbers 2 through 13 and got something greater than 50,000. Then I tried all primes from 2 through 13. I knew it would have to be a higher number since if 2 and 3 were out, then 6 and 12 would be too, totalling more than 4 wrong. So I made a javascript to do this for me, looping from 0 to 50,000 and per loop, looping 2 through 13 and outputting all results that had been evenly divisible by 10 of the numbers while also telling me which numbers were the ones that weren't evenly divisible. Many popped up, but only 7 and 8 were the ones next to each other. Although I spent over an hour on this prior to brute-forcing it with a script, the script took only about 10 minutes.

....jeez. and here i was looking at multiples of 11 and then checking to see if it was also a multipple of everything except 7 and 8

What is the exact percentage of things you will apply in your life that you learned in school? I actually learned something? O.o My day-dreaming in class is on the same level as Osaka from Azumanga. So what you've witnessed here is a miracle. A MIRACLE, I SAY.

Answers, anyone?

it doesn't say that they played games and if they all got the same about the same amount but differnet "scores" I'll guess that they were a band

^Wow, I think you're right, they played music for a gig.
The riddle I was asking myself was who were who and how did you get 108 posts, until I looked up that you're lone meditater.

^_^ oh my, now this became quite interesting.
let's see... last year, in small animals class... it was "this one time, i was rollerblading..." but that's cuz Spida found it amusing that people would start laughing whenever she said it.

This one time, at band camp... This one time, at computer camp, I shoved a linux CD into a windows machine. Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, I have a few of these riddles from when the local AM radio station did these little riddles on the air for prizes and such. "Toilet, News, Wall" - What do these things have in common?

Although that made me laugh, that wasn't quite the answer I was looking for. If you want a hint, it's only one word, and when you put it together with one of the three above, it makes a common word that you definately use. For example, Dog, Junk, & Healthy can be related by the word food (ex: junk food, dog food etc...). Does that help a bit?

Simple, right? ...oh my, now what is this? i don't check this page for a little bit and it looks like a game where everyone has to beat Marik. -_-; i better keep myself updated more often on what's going on here. As to this 'game', it's actually quite simple: I list three words that are connected by a simple fourth word. Ex, from the last one: construction site, web site excavation site. Anyway, here's the next one. Snail, Web, Priority
