Brainteasers!!

[Azure Wrath]

ok, so in this thread, we post brain teasers and try to answer each others brainteasers. ok, i'll start:

A person steps outside of his house. He walks exactly 10miles south. Then, he walks exactly 10miles east. Then he walks exactly 10 miles north. He finds himself exactly where he started, at his house.
Why/where is this possible?

[NMK]

cause his house is 10miles wide! :D

[Named]

If he lived on the most Northern point on the world, he could walk those equal lengths and end up where he started, on the North Pole. Yay, geometry!

[NMK]

I'm sure that Azure didn't even know that Named :D

[Azure Wrath]

If he lived on the most Northern point on the world, he could walk those equal lengths and end up where he started, on the North Pole. Yay, geometry!

congratiolations, almighty mod! Your intelligence never ceases (EDIT, thanx crow!) to amaze me...

[ScareCrow]

its ceases AW not seizes XD
------------------------------------
A man is found hung on a rope in the middle of the barn during the summer. The body was not found for two weeks. The police cannot figure out if it was a suicide or a homicide...There is nothing around the hung body that could've helped him reach the rope and the body is around 5 feet off the ground. Also, there is nothing at the top of the barn that the person could've jumped off of. They found a ladder that he had used to tie the rope on a supporter in the top of the roof outside in the garage. What happened?

[Chidongan]

'tis was genjutsu. :O

okies serious mode:
if there is nothing at the roof of the barn that he could jump off of, where did he tie the rope?

[ScareCrow]

there, edited.

[Azure Wrath]

He put a huge block of ice underneath him (5metres XD) and stood on it. Then the ice melted, and he got hung, the poor sod!

[Octo]

It was homicide, end?

[ScareCrow]

how'd you know?

[Azure Wrath]

i'm just that good, he he

ok, here's a very easy one.
There is a dam, with a kind of algea in it, that covers the surface of the dam. Every day, the algea doubles it size. It takes 20 days for the algea to cover the whole dam. How long does it take to cover half the dam?

[Chidongan]

fifeteen days.

(wild guess. ^^)

[DonEmu]

19 days...

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

that was ez donemu got it

Ok im gonna ask an old one the Monty Hall problem -.- I trust people not to look up the answer and give someone who doesn't already know the answer a chance to think it through.

Ok so your on a game show and there are 3 doors, where one has a prize behind it and 2 have nothing, and you have to pick one.
Once you've picked a door the host of the show will open one of the other 2 doors (that doesn't contain the prize) then give you the option to switch to the remaining door or stay with the one you picked first.
Should you switch doors, stay with the one you picked, or does it not matter at all?

[Chidongan]

it doesnt matter at all.




right?

[NMK]

It doesn't matter at all since you picked the wrong door and then he showed another wrong door, then you had a choice to pick one of the wrong doors. So it doesn't matter.

[Azure Wrath]

if he shows you wrong door, there's a 50/50 chance to get it, so i think there's no diffs

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

You should always switch because at the beginning theres a 1/3 chance of picking the right door, in this case if you switched you would go to the wrong door. There is a 2/3 chance of picking a wrong door and switching to the good door. Thus, if you always switch you have a 2/3 chance of winning so you should always switch.

Probability can be tricky.

[Azure Wrath]

...hmmm. i don't get it. or i don't agree. Is this one of those things, if you flip a coin 20 times and each time it lands on heads, whats the odds of it landing on heads the 21 time? cos its ALWAYS 50/50

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

No its simple if you think clearly about it. Immagine the prize is behind door A.

Beginning:--- Pick door A ----- Pick door B ----- Pick door C

Host: ------- Opens B or C ---- Opens C -------- Opens B

You: -------- Switch and lose - Switch and win -- Switch and win
------------- Stay and win ---- Stay and lose --- Stay and lose

So if you choose to switch you have a 2/3 chance of winning
If you choose to stay you only have a 1/3 chance of winning.

This is called conditional probability because theres a condition the probability isn't 50/50 at the end even though theres only 2 doors left. You can prove this with a mathematical theorem called the Bayes theorem but i don't want to get into that.
Another way of thinking about it is that the probability of something happening plus the probability of it not happening have to add up to 1. So at the beginning like a coin toss you will always have a 1/3 chance of picking the right door so you only have a 1/3 chance of having the right door if you stay. Since, 1-1/3=2/3 the probability of not choosing the right door is always 2/3 and if you chose the wrong door if you switch you always will get the right door so you should always switch.
I hope that made sense.

[Caqil-Feisar]

I get it =)

Next please

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

Granny looked up from her rocking chair and said: As far as I can tell, there is only one anagram of the word trinket. What is it?

I took this riddle from a website.

[Chidongan]

knitter. ^^

How long would it take a train one-mile long traveling at 60 mph to pass through a tunnel one mile long?

[V.VELDANEN]

Two hours?

[Purvis]

2 minutes

hm I can't recall any brainteasers at the moment.

[Chidongan]

2 minutes

hm I can't recall any brainteasers at the moment.

that is correct.

[kjrav]

if x = b and b= the absoule value of c does x always, somtimes or never = c

It's really easy but the best I can do for now.

[Chidongan]

always?

me = sucks at math. >.>

[Purvis]

Euclid states: things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to another.

The answer is always.

[Azure Wrath]

nope, X = c if c>0
otherwise, X = -c

[V.VELDANEN]

A simple game, hardly a riddle.

Two accomplices of a crime were caught after a massive-scale robbery. However, there isn't any sufficient evidence to prove their crimes. So the police decides to offer them a deal, however, the criminals are seperated at the time of the deal and they weren't allowed to discuss the deal.

They were both given the same deal.
A) One betrays and testifies against the other accomplice and go free, the betrayed gets 10 years should he remained silent in the deal.
B) If both stays silent, both are imprisoned for 6 months for small criminal charges
C) If both betrays each other, they will get 2 years each.

What would the criminals' decisions be? What would be in the best interest for both criminals?

[NMK]

I'd say B, but there's propably something else you had in mind, something wicked but smart.

[Azure Wrath]

yeah, B is probably best, 6 months is nothing in comparison to 10 years or two years, if the two work so well together that they can pull the heist off, then they should just wait

[V.VELDANEN]

Interesting answers...however, the question deals with strategies that can yield the best result, considering human nature.

As we know humans always seek to get the highest possible yield, imagine yourself in the position of either one the criminals now, as it would be quite different when one in the comfort of their chair where one can easily hold your moral grounds and say, "Loyalty first".

But in truth, who wants to go to jail? The question is presented as such that details of the criminals are not known, so we have to assume that the question needs to answered on an objective basis and with the view that all humans are rational. Moreover, the deal was made without each other confronting each other. Can you take the risk of the other not exposing you for the free pass?

This is called the Prisoner's Dillemma, this theory has been used widely in micreconomic theories, business strategies and Poker games. It trains to you think in advance using rules, tradeoffs and formulating strategies that can give you the best results and minimize losses.

Here's the hint

Lets say we start off by you and your partner being involved, we start off by being silent, you get 6 months right? But how can you make sure the other guy won't betray you for the free pass? There's no way of knowing. Afterall a free pass is worth more than 6 months right? Any rational being would consider this option.

Free pass > 6 months

If this happens, then you'll get 10 years. That's what you get for being silent and your partner betrays you.

What now, would you do to ensure your own safety?

[NMK]

I had a similiar idea, but I noticed that he wrote "Which option would be better for BOTH of the criminals". There was never stated what was going to happen, just what they both should do.

[ScareCrow]

hmmm i was thinking, what if both prisoners betrayed each other at the same time? then both of them would get no time...but that's bad because if they betray each other at the same time, the police can just arrest them both...hmmm

[V.VELDANEN]

hmmm i was thinking, what if both prisoners betrayed each other at the same time? then both of them would get no time...but that's bad because if they betray each other at the same time, the police can just arrest them both...hmmm

No matter how, if both testifies against each other, they would get two years each ^^.

[Fool Of Doom]

Ok,

3 guys walk into a hotel, and they needed a room for the night, but it costs 30 dolars for 1 room with 3 beds, so they split it 10 dolars each.

later the hotel manager dicides he made the guys pay to much so he gives a boy 5 dolars and tells him to give the guys that

so the boy runs up to the room the guys are in but he cant figure out how to split 5 dolars into 3, so he takes 2 dolars and gives each of the men a dolar back

so if you think about it each guy only paid 9 dolars right because they originaly paid 10 dolars each, but each of the got a dolar back so each of them only paid 9 dolars...

So 9x3=27+2=29 dolars... where did the missing dolar go?

[V.VELDANEN]

Wait...how much does the room actually cost? Why does the boy wants to split it three ways?

[Fool Of Doom]

the room costs 30 dolars s0 each of the 3 men pay10 bucks, but the kid has to split 5 bucks 3 ways so he can give each man a equal amount

[V.VELDANEN]

Really? But I thought you said the motel asked them for too much? Why does he want to give them 5 dollars in the first place?

[Fool Of Doom]

no, he made them pay 30 colars then they go into the room, but thewn he dicides that he made them pay to much so he gives a boy 5 of there dolars that they paid and said he had to give that back to the men

[V.VELDANEN]

So the room actually cost 25 dollars?

[Fool Of Doom]

yeah basicly

[V.VELDANEN]

Okay so basically, the dollar didn't go anywhere. Lol...its in the boy's pocket right?

25 dollars remains in the hotel.

5 dollars goes back to the guys.

The boy took 2 dollars and leave the guys with 3 dollars each...right?

so 25 + 3 + 2 = 30...

Nothing wrong there...I think the equation in the question is just to confuse us...lol...the guys are supposed to pay 8.3333... dollars each, but the total balance of 9 that summed up went to the boy right?

So 3x9 = 27+2 = 29 is not the right way to put it, because they should have only paid a total of 25. If the 2 dollars is minused from the 27, then the equation represents the situation correctly?

[Fool Of Doom]

yeah lol, but if you dont sum it up its a paradox in a way, because 8.33333333 goes on forever.

[Canthinkofaname]

answer: originally you said it cost 30 bucks for the room. but since the manager said they paid too much, it means it wasnt 30 bucks. so the room was really 25 bucks. the 5 bucks the bellboy had he gave 3 to the men, 25 + 3 is 28, plus the two the bellboy took is 30

sorry for posting so late. btw, thats called conversation guys, and its not allowed

[V.VELDANEN]

That's called clarifying doubts, ban me. ^^

Free pass > 6 months

If this happens, then you'll get 10 years. That's what you get for being silent and your partner betrays you.

What now, would you do to ensure your own safety?

Anyway, I might as well give the answer.

The answer is betraying your partner, the reason is - its worth more than staying silent.

If you remain silent, chances are you either spend 6 months or 10 years in jail, depending on your partner's silence.

If you talk, you either walk free or spend 2 years in jail. Which definately worth more, should your partner wish to remain silent or not.

EDIT: Here's some lateral thinking for you all...

A customer in a cafe spotted a dead fly in his cup of coffee. So he annoyingly requested the waitress to change him a fresh cup. Shortly after, the waitress brought out his new fly-free cup of coffee. But as soon as he took a sip, he immediately knew that she did not serve him a fresh cup.

How did he know that it was his old cup of coffee?

[ScareCrow]

A dwarf lives in an apartment complex. He lives on the 10th floor. But he's so short, he can only reach the 7th floor button and has to walk up three flights of stairs. But on rainy days, he can reach the 10th floor, and does not have to walk the three flights of stairs. Why? This is really easy if you think about it.

[V.VELDANEN]

He has an umbrella?

[NMK]

Because Dwarves float :) So he basically floats up to the button.

[Chidongan]

doesnt everyone float.

hmmm... on rainy days he can reach the top button. maybe the elvator shirinks. and then he's like "blimey!! i can reach the 10th floor button."

[Dorphuk]

He never leaves as dwarfs dislove in the rain

[Chidongan]

he has really big boots on?

[EDIT] since its raining alot of people dont want to take the stairs so there are more people in the elivator so he just asks them to push the button for him.

[Dorphuk]

Maybe he is like one of those sponges that expand when wet?

[Raki]

becuase I went to the dwarf and help him up the ten flights of stairs :P

[Octo]

He has an umbrella?

I believe that's the answer.

[ScareCrow]

He has an umbrella?

good job V :)

[Bartimaeus]

ok, here it goes:

In Kyhanata (a fictif country)
The nordists always say the truth when they are in the north side
The nordists always lie when they are in the south side

The sudist always say truth when in south side
The sudists always lie when in north side

You ask a man where you are, he answers: I'm nordist, and we are south

Where are you, and who si the man

[V.VELDANEN]

Heh...I suck at these, always tricksies uzzz...

My answer is that I'm North, and that guy is a Sudist.

[Bartimaeus]

tell me why?

[V.VELDANEN]

Well...

If we are in the south, and he is a nordist, he would lie saying that he is a sudist. He would not tell the truth of his own race.

Therefore, he would lie on two things, his race and his location. So if he is lying on this two, he must be the opposite of what he's saying, that is Sudist and North.

Right?

[Bartimaeus]

exactly!!!! Took me like 5 seconds to find when my math teacher asked it...heh

[Canthinkofaname]

An electric train is going south. if the train is going south which way is the steam blowing?

[ScareCrow]

what steam? it's an electric train.

[Chidongan]

here's a brainteaser:

i was born on february 5th 1988. 6:38 am. how old am i this very second?

[V.VELDANEN]

This very second? Time has already passed...there's no way I can get the answer correct...

[Chidongan]

This very second? Time has already passed...there's no way I can get the answer correct...

EXACTLY!! Chidong = teh ownage.

kay i cant think of any right now.

if i can find some on google i'll put 'em up.

[Canthinkofaname]

correct scarecrow. another
a train crashes and there are many deaths. where are the survivors buried?

[Azure Wrath]

in graves?

What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor?

[V.VELDANEN]

Lol...survivors can't be dead nor buried, only the dead can. It was a trick question. :D

[NMK]

of course survivors can get buried xD, really buried alive or just buried under the train wrack

[Azure Wrath]

...can't belive i fell for that...

[Chidongan]

What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor?

uh...where are you tractor?

[Azure Wrath]

sort of. where's my tractor?

[Canthinkofaname]

lol man, dont feel bad. i dont know answers to half of these questions.
a rooster lays two eggs. which one will hatch first, the brown one of the white one?

[Octo]

roosters can't lay eggs, they're male.

[Canthinkofaname]

correct. and i just realised ur a mere 8 posts away from being a chuunin

[Octo]

Spam zone will get deleted soon. Then I won't be :P

[Azure Wrath]

i heard a similar one. Rooster is sitting on the peak of a triangular roof. IF it lays an egg, to which direction will it roll?

[ScareCrow]

yea i heard a similar one too. Azure has 2 hot girls to choose from. Which one will he choose? the blonde or the brown haired?

[Chidongan]

brunette. blondes are stupid. lol j/k.

[Azure Wrath]

ha ha, trick question. Azure doesn't need to choose, he gets both... and for some reason, he's talking about himself in third person.... oops

[Canthinkofaname]

incorrect azure. you see the answer is neither, for azure is a gayman
lol jk

[Azure Wrath]

*pulls out katana, lashes cantthinkofaname's head of*
Thou shalt not mess with thy masters sexuality!!
j/k, j/k i can take a joke, especially from people who are jsut jealous :D
lol, jokes jokes.
but seriously, im into girls

[NMK]

Azure are you sure? I thought you liked me ..

lol

[Chidongan]

*gasP8 you guys are spamming. anyone know some good brainteasers? im all out.

[ScareCrow]

incorrect azure. you see the answer is neither, for azure is a gayman
lol jk

That's actually what I was leading to lol HAHAHAHAHAHA

[kjrav]

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck?

[Bartimaeus]

shut up...here it goes

Airplane falls on the berlin walls, directly on it...it breaks apart, but its straight between the two territories, where do we bury the survivors??

[kjrav]

UNder the wall.....

[Octo]

shut up...here it goes

Airplane falls on the berlin walls, directly on it...it breaks apart, but its straight between the two territories, where do we bury the survivors??

already similar one done.


You don't bury survivors.

[kjrav]

I would...just to kill them!

[Bartimaeus]

ahaha, Kjrav got owned...wub you kid!

[kjrav]

;_;...Well how many dogs does it take to screw a light bulb in?

[NMK]

only one smart dog :D

[kjrav]

Wrong dogs can't screw in lightbulbs!

[NMK]

lol I was going to write that but then I thought that you propably have some comic answer to it

[kjrav]

Nope I'm always straght forward!!!

[Chidongan]

Nope I'm always straght!!!

Riiiiigggggghhhhhhttttt. *sarcasm*

[Azure Wrath]

this is actually a lame joke, not a brainteaser, but the thread is quite, so i need to liven it up

how do you keep a blond busy for several hours

[steve]

... take viagra.

[Bartimaeus]

tell her to find the corner in a round room

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

How did the blonde break her leg raking leaves?

[Chidongan]

she fell?


(10 chars)

[Canthinkofaname]

tell her to find the corner in a round room

sorry to spam but, XD LOL ROFL LMAO. that was hilarious. and azure, its quiet not quite.

[Azure Wrath]

my bad, i make that typo far too often.
@ bart, that answer could work, the real answer is 'give her a paper with "turn page" writen on both sides'
@i feel tired : She broke her legs when she fell out of the tree?

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

ya thats right lol.

Heres a corny one from a site

Why should you never iron a 4-leaf clover?

[Chidongan]

cuz it'll die?

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

Because you don't want to press your luck.

[Azure Wrath]

lol, thas quite good...

[Flyin]

I got one, why did the blone climb over the chainlink fence?

[Chidongan]

she wanted to get to the other side? O.o

[Flyin]

to see what was on the other side!

[zoldic777]

i dont know if this is a brainteaser but >_> who cares

3 x X=
3 + X=

umm, X = the number u have to find, as for the answer, both of them have to be same :D

[Flyin]

Isn't that just Algebra?

Anyways, I'm thinkin the answer is 1.5 or 1 1/2. It makes sense to me.

[TRTrunks]

3x = x+3 -> 2x=3 -> x=1,5 ... that was easy...

[Flyin]

As I said algebra, anyhow, moving on...

Some moogles are maggies, and some maggies are muugees. If half the moogles are muugees, how many maggies aren't muugees?

[Azure Wrath]

wtf???? lol

[Chidongan]

Seven !

[Rafale]

I'd say... hmm some.

[Rafale]

Hmm not really elieve its right but hmm is it 3?

[PhantomAlchemist]

I think that the answer is half.

[Octo]

they all are muugees essentially.

[DonEmu]

i say none.....

[Raki]

i'd say the most possible answer is a half since there is no total amount of each

[Flyin]

Rakieri is the most correct. It's a trick question since no exact numbers are given. It could be none, some or even all. It's part of an IQ test I did a while back, they like to screw with ya', eh?

Next question......

Why is a duck.

A) Why not
B) Because it's parents were ducks
C) To complete the natural food chain
D) The name is inconsequencial

[Chidongan]

N/A.




i think.

[Flyin]

Nope, it's one of the four above. This took me a couple days to figure out. Tricky stuff.

[Chidongan]

the answers A.




right?



kay now i think it could be D. >.>

[Azure Wrath]

I say its D

[zoldic777]

D.....? @.@

[Azure Wrath]

i figure the ducks name is 'why'

[Flyin]

Azure and Zoldic are correct. The first thing that catches people is the prose it's in. Since it ended with a period, instead of a question, the first three answers can be thrown out immediately.
I can't think of any more at the moment, so somebody else start it up!

[Azure Wrath]

YEAH!! can i get a cookie?

[.Sage.]

I have a riddle...This is simple and can be solved with only the information I give you...Here it goes...

A man gets captured by a forest tribe. The leader wanted to show off that he had just learned English, not only that, but excelled in it. So the tribe leader let the man choose his death with english. The tribes leader said that your next statement shall decide what happens to you...If you say something true we will throw you off a cliff....If you say something false....We will feed you to the lions....

What should the man say to be set free?

[Flyin]

Sure, I met this chick last week and she loves to bake! I have cookies all the time now!! ITS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE!!!

He doesn't speak English. That it?

[.Sage.]

Sure, I met this chick last week and she loves to bake! I have cookies all the time now!! ITS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE!!!
That is too long of a statement so they just tok the last part....
ITS THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE!!!
They decide that since it is an opinion you get fed to the lions...

And you obviously don`t pay attention...There are over five ways to tell the tribes leader is great at english...Read b4 ya post pl0x!

[Flyin]

Does he say nothing?

[.Sage.]

I neglected to mention that...If he says nothing they will torture him until he says something....

[Flyin]

He says something in French?

[.Sage.]

Nope...You`re thinking to hard....read the riddle again and again...There is something in there....if you read it...overthink it....give examples of statements pertaining to the riddle...you should get it easy...

[Flyin]

Ok ok...he asks a question?

[.Sage.]

nope......

[Flyin]

DAMNIT! Just PM me the answer, I think I deserve that after all my tries.

[.Sage.]

nope...I think the people who didn`t guess deserve a fair shot at this...
After it`s solved maybe I can...unless you are the one to solve it...

[Flyin]

Does he say hello?

[Azure Wrath]

he says : you will let me go


or he says: You will NOT throw me off the cliff

[.Sage.]

he says : you will let me go




no...they would let him go off of a cliff




or he says: You will NOT throw me off the cliff

That is correct....he could also say "You will feed me to the lions."....either one fits...

[.Sage.]

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a would chuck could chuck wood?

Explain...

[Azure Wrath]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWNAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cookie for me!!!!!!!!!!!

[.Sage.]

Look at meh new riddle...

[Flyin]

The amount of wood chucked by the wood chuck, would be equal to its personal energy put towards chucking of the wood, and the amount of time specified for the wood chuck to chuck said wood.

[.Sage.]

I am sorry Flyin...I thought that too...but it`s wrong...

[Flyin]

Well to hell with these!

Unless....is the answer 42?

Wow, that's pretty amazing. I'm gonna say wind water and sunlight.

[Azure Wrath]

geez... this is hard... its obviously something simple...

[Raki]

simple but hard..hahaha I got more hard ones...and this is just one of them

[Azure Wrath]

are there three different answers, or is it three things that together make the answer?

wait a sec.

is the answer :"nothing"
polar bears are naturally white, you will go pee, girls always do their hair, etc

[Raki]

the answer has 3 parts

[Azure Wrath]

edited it, could it be 'nothing'?

three parts.. i guess that changes it. so,do all three things do all these things?

[Raki]

some do ... some do not....so anyone of you guys give up? if you do , i'll you a even harder one!

-Zoldic in like 60% of ur posts , all I see is curses...

[.Sage.]

Rakieri...The only actual question in your riddle was "Can you guess the correct answer?"

-I cannot because it is too hard...
-I cannot guess it because I would take an educated guess...
-So the answer to the riddle is "I don`t know."

[DBZWarrior6582]

dude you suck, I was actually thinking that there was something to that riddle.

[.Sage.]

Well I just got here and said that instantly....if that is not the correct answer...something is wrong here....

[Raki]

that is not the correct answer , riddles do not have to be 100% percent right , I don't want to hold up questions members want to put up so heres the answer-

Light
Heat
Pressure

-Heres an easy one

You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth?

[Azure Wrath]

How did kindergaten kids know what pressure is? could you please explain that answer?

this was on the powerpuff girls... or something similar at least. and sammy had something similar too.

[Raki]

I told you , riddles DO NOT have to be 100% correct , that one is a Open ended answer WITH a ANSWER

Pressure? Pressure is something kindergardeners dont know but since it is a open-ended question , you can sub it for something else

My next question is easier , Its a open ended question too ...

[.Sage.]

Rakieri....That`s stupid....The answer I gave should be correct....Your answeres wont fit unless you alter the question alittle bit....

[Raki]

since its open ended I guess its correct...

Lol, I remember that one off Yugioh a few years back.



Ok, heres one:

You have 2 lengths of rope. It takes each one 1 hour to burn. Both ropes arent necessarily the same width or length as eachother. They are also no uniform (ie. might be wider in the middle than at the end).

By burning the ropes, how do you know when 45 minutes have gone by?

[Chidongan]

you look at your watch?

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

When 3/4 of either rope has burned up.

Edit: Assuming that the rate at which either burns is constant.

[.Sage.]

By burning the ropes, how do you know when 45 minutes have gone by?

[ColdFire]

Answer to the rope thing:

Light one rope at both ends, and the other rope and only one end. Therefore, when the first rope is completely gone, 30 minutes will have gone by. This also means the other rope has 30 minutes left till its burnt up, so at this point you light the other end of the second rope. When both ropes have burnt up, 45 minutes has gone by.

Really easy if ya think about it :P

oh, from the way you've said it i thought both ropes would burn for an hour each.

[zoldic777]

Whats are bee that give milk called - -"?

[ColdFire]

oh, from the way you've said it i thought both ropes would burn for an hour each.

They do. By lighting both ends of the rope, its burns twice as fast, making the first rope burn in 30 mins. After 30 mins, the second rope will be half gone, because only one side was lit, so the second rope has 30 mins left to burn. By lighting it on the other end at this point, that time will be halved, resulting in it burning up in 15 more mins.

[Flyin]

Whats are bee that give milk called - -"?

I call them bees! Cow bees? Bee-atrice?

[zoldic777]

Boo Bees - -"

[Chidongan]

Boo Bees - -"

lawl ?

[Flyin]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH! OHHH I get it! It's funny!

Ok, next riddle. Why don't women have car keys?

[Chidongan]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH! OHHH I get it! It's funny!

Ok, next riddle. Why don't women have car keys?

becuase they're not cars?

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

They do. By lighting both ends of the rope, its burns twice as fast, making the first rope burn in 30 mins. After 30 mins, the second rope will be half gone, because only one side was lit, so the second rope has 30 mins left to burn. By lighting it on the other end at this point, that time will be halved, resulting in it burning up in 15 more mins.

Lol like I said its needlessly complicated once 3/4 of the rope has burned it means 45 minutes has passed so you only need one rope.

[Flyin]

They're uneven, making it impossible to tell when 3/4 of the rope has burned.

------

No, Women don't have car keys 'cause there's no road between the bedroom and the kitchen!
That wasn't really a riddle, more like common sense.

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

If they were uneven that would make his own answer wrong too, the question only says that both ropes aren't the same, but one rope is the same all along its length.

So once again light at one end, 3/4 burned, 45 minutes have passed.

what u think?

[Raki]

-Point: Dont think TOO hard....dont look to far into the question guys

[Chidongan]

yay! DJ Jaime got it right!

that was hard!!!
GAHHH

[ColdFire]

Lol like I said its needlessly complicated once 3/4 of the rope has burned it means 45 minutes has passed so you only need one rope.

Noooo. The question said the ropes could be like 1 inch on one end, and 1 mm on the other end, therefore they logically would not burn at even times throughout the rope. So 3/4 of the rope could be burnt in 30 seconds, and the last 1/4 could take 59 mins 30 secs. Anyways that problems way old by now ^.^


Ok, heres a new one. Some of you have probably seen it before. Only 2% of people can answer it correctly.


Facts:

1: There are 5 houses in 5 different colours.
2: In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3: These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
4: No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.



From the following information, can you determine WHO KEEPS FISH?

1: The Brit lives in a red house.
2: The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3: The Dane drinks tea.
4: The green house is on the left of the white house.
5: The green house owner drinks coffee.
6: The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7: The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8: The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk.
9: The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10: The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11: The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12: The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13: The German smokes Prince.
14: The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15: The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

[DJ Jaime]

Wow I saw that one ages ago, Einstein made it actually..

It's extremely hard and I remember having spent like 2 hours trying to solve it when I first found it.
Anyway I think it's the German who keeps the fish right? Btw, As far as I can remember I could never find the answer myself :S

[ColdFire]

Well, I'll just put the answer in white if someone wants to see.


Einstein Problem Answer:
The correct answer is, no one. Not once in the problem (besides in the facts) does it even mention a fish. The German did have the last pet, although its only an assumption to say the germans pet was a fish.

[Hidden Ninja]

noone...

well that was fun

[Raki]

If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?

[DJ Jaime]

The truth, because you're saying everything you tell me is a lie, so you would be NOT lying, which means you're telling the truth.

[Raki]

...hmm...good point but are you sure ur correct? ill leave this up for 2 more days before giving the final answer

[DJ Jaime]

Seriously, This question just depends on the person who's looking at it.

[Flyin]

No, I think it's a matter of prose.

'Everything I tell you is a lie'

So this is present tense, to an indefinate outcome. Since it is present, it focuses on the moment which we are stating right now, so he just told a lie, about what he said was a lie, meaning he told the truth, thus informing us he just lied, making his statement false.
What I'm saying is, this is a paradox. It can not be answered correctly or incorrectly as it has no finality to the question.

I agree with Flyin...Paradox`s are funny...

[i_feel_tiredsleepy]

If everything someone says is a lie than it is impossible for them to say that phrase, thus it can't be concluded that the statement is definitely a lie, but it may be a lie, by which I mean the person could be saying everything they say may be a lie when they are capable of telling the truth at some times and lie at others. However, I think it is impossible for someone who is speaking the truth to say that, because they would be lying by saying it, so the statement is a lie by that logic. Since, it is possible for someone to lie and say the phrase "everything I tell you is a lie" it is impossible to speak the truth and say that.
