Iku Ichirin Nitori Sanae Komachi Yamame

Unlock the sequence of these names. Explanations for your answer would be nice to have too.

First correct answer gets an IH upgrade, normals get to become IP and IP get to beome IM.

Do I lose anything if I participate?
YOU WILL NOT FOOL ME AGAIN.

Whatever.

Ichi(一)rin　1
Ni(二)tori　2
San(三)ae　3
Komachi, associated with death(死). (四)　4
I(一)ku(九)　19

Can't think of anything for Yamame.
Since I'm an IM, it doesn't really matter either way, does it?

Pesco · « **Reply #2 on:** May 05, 2011, 09:44:49 AM »

Only Dormio may lose something for spamming wrong answers.

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #3 on:** May 05, 2011, 09:48:01 AM »

Wait, wait, wait.
What.
Screw you Pescar.

:ohdear: Don't you know power level discussions are forbidden?
I suggest we arrange them by bust size.

Fetch()tirade · « **Reply #5 on:** May 05, 2011, 09:58:15 AM »

Counting in Japanese?

Ichi - rin [1]
Ni - tori [2]
San -ae [3]
Komachi*
Yamame**
I - ku (similar to "Kyuu") [9]

* Either [4] or [5]
- 4: Related to death or something
- 5: (similar to "Go")

** Either [7] or [8]
- 7: Ya - mame (similar to "nana")
- 8: Spiders got 8 legs? I dunno.

(Romanized numbers ~~stolen shamelessly~~ from Wiki)

Oh, Yamame is a spider, how could I forget?
I hate spiders.

Ichi(一)rin　1
Ni(二)tori　2
San(三)ae　3
Komachi, associated with death(死). (四)　4
Yamame, spiders have eight legs.　8
I(一)ku(九)　19

Hai Pesco wants you all to know you're still wrong hurr hurr

Yukarin · « **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2011, 10:57:22 AM »

Holy shit, I put Komachi 2 times in my answer. :V

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #10 on:** May 05, 2011, 10:58:15 AM »

Answer #1: 8-9-10.

Why?

Yamame. Ya = 8
Iku. Ku = 9
Sanae and Komachi. 3 x 4 = 12. Minus Nitori. 12 - 2 = 10.

Yeah w/e

======================================
Answer #2: Flying.

Why? I I N S K Y.

I IN SKY.

======================================
Answer #3: Elemental or natural affinities.

Iku + Ichirin = Thunderclouds
Nitori + Sanae = Water and Wind, which oppose each other.
Komachi + Yamame = One lives on the "surface", the other lives underground.

======================================
Answer #4: SIKI K-Y

Make of that what you will.

======================================
Miscellanea:
Working with which games they came from, that's 10.5, 12, 10, 10, 9, and 11 respectively.
As for which stages, that's 5, 3, 3, 5, 8, and 1 respectively. (based on Reimu's experiences, anyway)

Pesco · « **Reply #11 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:00:03 AM »

Poor Nitori :ohdear:

Sophilia · « **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:08:56 AM »

Working off those number guesses, I may have hit something.

I(一)ku, 1.
Ichi(一)rin, 1.
Ni(二)tori, 2.
San(三)ae, 3.
Ko(こ -> ご)machi, 5.
Ya(八)mame, 8.

Yep, it's the Fibonacci sequence! The next number would be 13, which is jyu-san. (十三) But since I don't know any touhous with that in their name I'll just say it's for Ten Desires.

Correct.

Poor Dormio, always on the right track but never able to make the final leap. :ohdear:

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #15 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:13:55 AM »

Ooh, grats.
This one was solved pretty fast.

And it's not like I get anything from winning this challenge.
Though, yeah, I wouldn't have gotten the Fibonacci thing.

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #16 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:14:15 AM »

How did I not think of that :V

Sophilia · « **Reply #17 on:** May 05, 2011, 11:20:03 AM »

Y'all gave me a good lead - I probably wouldn't have even started thinking of numbers unless you guys pointed out the obvious ichi-ni-san thing. I was initially thinking of things to do with their characters :V

PX · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2011, 01:35:19 PM »

...Wow, under 2 hours?

Yukarin · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2011, 02:00:39 PM »

Oh my.

Fibonacci sequence. Would have not thought of that even if my life depended on it.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2011, 02:36:12 PM »

Damn, I missed this. I might even have stood a chance at it too! Ah well~

Congrats Sophilia

Kips McKipzerson · « **Reply #21 on:** May 05, 2011, 04:19:06 PM »

Ah dammit, I missed this challenge. Could'va used my eff'd up sense of puzzle solving to get fere IP too :V

Anyways, Congrats to the winner.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #22 on:** May 05, 2011, 04:32:37 PM »

Wow, THAT was solved quickly. Would've given a shot at it too.

Nice job Sophilia

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2011, 06:01:07 PM »

Wow, created and solved while I was asleep.

Spoiler:

Way to go!

Which in turn screws us mere mortals out of participating in these puzzles.
Still fun to watch the back-and-forth, though.
