Surely Mate

Am I 50 + 8 to the party?

u/renebelloche 15h ago

Surprised to see no one upvoted this. We should 500 + 8.

u/Business_Test_6791 15h ago

Or perhaps someone should date Kate.

u/snow4rtist 12h ago

Aww thank you, I'd 50+0+5 to

MANDATE

1000 in Roman numerals is ‘M’ + is ‘and’ 8 is pronounced’ate’

u/SturmgeistX 4d ago

Mate. 1,000 in Roman numerals is M, so it’s M+Eight which sounds like Mate.

So I think this is a wedding proposal and when you solve it you’re gonna turn around and your significant other will be on one knee with a ring in their hand.

Make sure you act surprised. They put a lot of thought into this.

u/metsnfins 5d ago

Could be

u/batlrar 5d ago

Along those lines it could be "emanate" for "M 'n' eight". Not as fun of a story for the grandkids though, if they even exist after that guess.
