But what do they mean? What do they meeeeeeeeeaaaaaan?
Do you follow Mortal Kombat’s Ed Boon on Twitter? Neither do I actually, but that’s because my Twitter feed usually consists of LOLcats and fart jokes. If you do actually subscribe to him, you might have noticed the following tweets lately:
Square root of 841.

What’s the answer to that then? Seriously, I failed maths like a politician failed at ethics class. According to people who passed grade three however, the correct answer is actually 29. Here’s another mathematical test from Boon:
Question: How many days in (non-leap-year) February?

Heck, even I know the answer to that is 27…Wait, crap, Geoff just corrected me. It’s 28. So what we have here, is a countdown. But to what? The rumour mill is currently milling out some fresh new Injustice whsiperings. Or some kind of game wherein one oke has to like klap the other oke, really, really hard.
Sounds like a new Mortal Kombat then, which Metal Gear Solid 5 voice actor Kiefer Sutherland mentioned recently. Ooops.

The “rebooted” last Mortal Kombat title was technically MK9.
28
ie. 2 and 8
ie. 2+8 = 10
MK10!

Though it is a count down, so his next tweets riddles answer should be 26.

May 6, 2014 at 14:17
Surely you mean 27?
Hammersteyn
May 6, 2014 at 14:17
Oops, yes 27

And the other clue? Is MK11 also confirmed?

With this formula we may also be able to solve the mystery of Half Life 3!!!!
Alien Emperor Trevor

Exactly right. I predict now that this countdown will have a 3 in it, thus confirming HL3!

Half-life 3 is coming

Ok, so one riddle per day would imply that we’ll have an announcement in 28 days. Right?
Hammersteyn
May 6, 2014 at 14:28
Hehehe or with seven days left they announce her as a guest character like Freddy was

Dude! You can’t just say that. You have to show us the maths!

29 = 2+9 = 11
28 is 2+8 = 10
11 and 10 numbers added up eqs 3….HL3 confirmed!
