Deathershy's Lateral Puzzle #1: The Cupcake Dilemma (SOLVED)

[Deathfire123]

You know the rules, if you don't look at one of the other threads.

The Puzzle

So, I saw Pinkie Pie making cupcakes the other day and I asked her what they were for. She said that they were all for a party she was throwing for Applejack. She made a total of 36 cupcakes, but when I asked her how many ponies were coming to the party she said 6 ponies were coming, and that she made 2 cupcakes for everypony.

Why did she make so many?

[nanosystem]

Has it something to do with 6^2=36?

[Deathfire123]

Has it something to do with 6^2=36?

NOPE! Guess again

[nanosystem]

Did Pinkie Pie make so many cupcakes because she had ingredients left?

Did Pinkie Pie make the cupcakes as a present for Applejack?

[Deathfire123]

Did Pinkie Pie make so many cupcakes because she had ingredients left?

Well she did have more ingredients but that's not why she made so many

Did Pinkie Pie make the cupcakes as a present for Applejack?

Nope.

[CptGorilla]

What's a party if it's not a food-fight?

[Deathfire123]

What's a party if it's not a food-fight?

That would be SUPER FUN! But that's not why she made so many.

So you can bring some home for your friends! YAAAAAAY SHARING IS CARING!

[Deathfire123]

That's a good idea, but that's not why Pinkie Pie so made

[Ming Vase of Hitler]

Ooh, OOH!! Is it because the six ponies that I was bringing only fit in 24 cupcakes, and I brought 12 normal cupcakes for them to enjoy??

Pinkie Pie, you shouldn't scare people with scary answers, that is incorrect

[Celt]

Wait, is this MY party..? YAAAY, CUPCAKES.

[nanosystem]

Do the exact numbers matter?

[Deathfire123]

Do the exact numbers matter?

Yes otherwise, somepony might get less cupcakes than another

[Celt]

Is Pinky Pie Bad at maths?

[Deathfire123]

Is Pinky Pie Bad at maths?

No, she's not the best, but there's no way she would mess up something that has to do with throwing a party!

[Celt]

Anyway we could get a hint?

[Deathfire123]

HINT: All of the cupcakes will be eaten by the 6 ponies at the party

[Celt]

At the party, does everyone eat two cupcakes?

[Deathfire123]

At the party, does everyone eat two cupcakes?

yes

[Celt]

At the party, does everyone eat two cupcakes?

yes

and no more than two?

[Deathfire123]

yes

and no more than two?

At the party, no pony eats more than two cupcakes

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

are the cupcakes are just for the party?
also, 2 cupcakes for every person implies that she will give to every existant pony… not only the 6 for the party
or even simpler
if 6 are coming to the party
18 are already in the party
or something like that

[Deathfire123]

are the cupcakes are just for the party?

For this, I'm going to answer yes and no, and make it your 2nd hint.

also, 2 cupcakes for every person implies that she will give to every existant pony… not only the 6 for the party
or even simpler
if 6 are coming to the party
18 are already in the party
or something like that

This is wrong

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

baked bads?

The real baked bads

[Celt]

So, There are ONLY six ponies at the party, and each of them eat two of the thirty six cupcakes, and they eat them all...?

[Deathfire123]

So, There are ONLY six ponies at the party, and each of them eat two of the thirty six cupcakes, and they eat them all...?

correct

[nanosystem]

Spike eats the 24 cupcakes left.

(Question: Are there any non-ponies at the party?)

[Deathfire123]

Spike eats the 24 cupcakes left.

(Question: Are there any non-ponies at the party?)

Incorrect.

Your question: Yes, Spike is the only non-pony at the party. He however has too much to eat beforehand so he didn't want any cupcakes. Therefore, Pinkie Pie didn't make him any

[Celt]

Wait, do they eat 2 at the party and save 4 for later?

[Celt]

Does Pinky pie eat the rest?

[Deathfire123]

Wait, do they eat 2 at the party and save 4 for later?

Yes. but they all get eaten before they go home.

[Celt]

Wait, do they eat 2 at the party and save 4 for later?

Yes. but they all get eaten before they go home.

So, is that it solved?

[Deathfire123]

nope, you still have to figure out when they eat then and why.

[CptGorilla]

Well... Pinky wanted to make 2 cupcakes for everypony. Miserable baker as she is, 24 didn't turn out. Originally, Pinky was going to throw them out, but Applejack just HAD to open her big mouth and make a comment on how Pinky can't bake as good as she (Applejack) can. Well... You should have seen Pinky throw a fit! The ponies tried as hard as they could to make her feel better, but the only way Pinky would believe them is if they ate the 24 bad ones too. Good friends as they were, they ate all 36 cupcakes and live happily ever after.

You shouldn't tell lies. Pinkie Pie would never get angry unless her hair got straight, and she is a wonderful baker, all 36 of those cupcakes turned out perfectly, just like she planned

[Barry]

Were there more ponies invited but only six showed up?

[Deathfire123]

nope

[Twenty Percent Homosexual]

Pinkie Pie didn't bake extra. She made 12 cupcakes for the ponies at the party and the rest to sell at Sugercube Corner while the party is going on.

[Deathfire123]

Incorrect, Pinkie Pie certainly made 36 cupcakes for the ponies at the party.

[Twenty Percent Homosexual]

Each cupcake is actually three smaller cupcakes stuck together. Pinkie Pie's probably the kind of pony who would do something weird like that.

All cupcakes were normal sized cupcakes, but you're getting to the answer, think of the numbers. You almost have it

All of the cupcakes were eaten at different times. THINK episode 25!
