Santa Claus air is right only for riddle 6

21:43:18 Feb 25th 07 - Lord Weirdgrivi:

Dear Mr. Alexander the Great,

I do not know how old are you but it's obvious you are reading the book of my childhood..

It must have been 4 to 6 or 8 years ago when I got it as a gift on who-knows-what occasion from one of my aunts and I can still remember its large format, having a red cover with butterflies on the sides.

It's a great adventure book and it entertained me for quite a while and it makes my heart tremble now when I'm thinking of those ages..

It's a warm advice for all of you out there to read J.R.R. Tolkien's book called "The Hobbit".

01:37:03 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Tunk:

number one is an egg
number eight is shadow or darkness, i should know, cuz i already posted that one. (edit: on page three, if you're looking)

(Edited by Mr. Tunk 2/26/2007 1:39:06 AM)

04:10:48 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Xemnas:

09:26:32 Feb 26th 07 - Ms. Isis:

Lol weirdgrivi, who gives a book like the hobbit to a four year old? (even a 6 or 8 year old would have problems reading it)

16:55:55 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Santa Claus:

i didnt lookum up on the internet nor do i even know of the existence of that book, i do know Tolkien though, but what answers are right and what are wrong?

19:15:01 Feb 26th 07 - Lord Weirdgrivi The Diplomat:

Ms. Isis, this is what I have said "It must have been 4 to 6 or 8 years ago".

I wasn't aged 4, 6 or 8. I got that present 4, 6 or 8 years ago. Given the fact I'm 19 now it means I was 11, 13 or 15 back when I received the book :)

22:31:49 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Sighearte:

You manufacture brain wave entrainment CDs for companies that sell self-improvement products. You are at the post office, with ten boxes of them ready to close up and ship out, but you have a problem. Nine of the boxes contain CDs that are designed to put the listener into an "alpha" or relaxing state, and one is full of Cds that are designed to put the user into a deeper "delta" state, for deep sleep. They look identical, and you forgot to label them.

There is one difference, however. You remember that the "alpha" Cds weigh 13 grams, and because different CD "blanks were used, the "delta" Cds weigh 15 grams. Unfortunately, you can't feel the difference in weight by lifting them.

The post office does have a scale. It costs one dollar each time you weigh something, though, and you want to keep your costs down. How do you use the scale as few times as possible to determine which are the "delta" CDs?

22:36:50 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Tunk:

weigh all of them. Whichever weighs more, take that pile and split it, leaving one out. then do the same with that pile. If they are the same, then you know that the one taken out is it costing you only 2$. if not, whichever has more weight, split that pile and weigh again. whichever weighs more is the CD, costing only 3$

$ one      |        $ two     | $Three   (it makes more sense with a visual)
A B      |          AA   AB   |     A    B
AA   AA   |               ^          |          ^
AA   AA   |    A<one left out |
      ^         |

22:39:00 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Sighearte:

Let me refrain this you can only use the scale 1time

22:43:37 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Tunk:

well poo on you. my answer is only $3 at max. what's $2 difference?

23:07:30 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Lelouch:

Do you mean a digital or balance scale?

23:12:00 Feb 26th 07 - Mr. Lelouch:

If it's a balance scale what you do is divide the boxes in half and put 5 on each side, then take one off each side until the scale balances. The box taken off the heavier side before the scale balances is the Delta CDs one.

01:39:38 Feb 27th 07 - Ms. Noadea:

Alright, this is my first one in a LONG while. Happy guessing!

Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot.
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name."--What is the ape talking of?

01:45:14 Feb 27th 07 - Mr. Jarlaxle:

For the record, no I'm not Santa *Shivers massively* God that'd be down right creepy. Oh also for the record my first was a ground hog.

A certain crime is punishable if attempted but not punishable if committed. What is it?

	You use a knife to slice my head and weep beside me when I am dead. What am I?


	I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air. What am I?This is not a Racist comment

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?
