eh though it was something of that sort.

Yoshintaku's first riddle is very confusing.... :S

this is for xemas

1. nothing

2. an hour glass

3.loose weight or get a tan?

3. some sort of game where they take turns back and forth until whoever reaches a certain point wins(like the 100,000 countdown, but with two people)

I don't get the answer for 3...I feel dumb now, thanks everyone

Oh...how did you get the answer for that?? That's crazy! (I mean in a good way)

But one day Mark thought of something to challenge Billy to do - somethimg he could start but never finish(he can start counting and finish counting). The average man could do it and so could Mark and they were both the same sex and the same size(That tells you that it coudn't have been counting since it said the average man ). It is a physical challenge(counting isn't a physical challenge).

Yah but it says an average man could do it and an average man isn't able to shake hands with everybody .

In Jamaica, if you drop a steel ball weighing five pounds from a height of 45 inches, will it fall more rapidly through water at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Or will it make no difference?



During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

i think the woman walked backwards??? So the guard would think she came out of Switzerland and would turn her back, in to Switzerland??=P

2.The women starts walking on the bridge from Germany towards Switzerland just as the guard finishes his check.Because it takes her 6 minutes to cross the bridge,this means that after 3 minutes of walking she reached the middle of the bridge.Then,just as the guard walks out,she turns around as if she wanted to enter Germany.The guard sees her walking towards Germany,and as ordered,turns her back towards Switzerland.Therefor she safely gets to Switzerland.

yup, thats what i meant;)

say a women owns a shop and the first day she had 13 customers the second day she had 14 customers the third 95 and the forth 62 customers what is the next amount of customers to come in?

Xemnas the next time may be 63 or 61 in case the 1 increase becomes decrease or just adds 1 up

first +1 then + 81 then min 33 then -->0?

so 0 customers are possible

however if there is a increase then i think it can be 62x81 wich would be ridicolous high 4800+162=4962

or there there comes another + 13 from the start wich would end up in 62+13=75

This is the answer to the one yu are talking about  Mr. Yoshintaku answered it here is the answer in his own words  3. wow this is a hard one good thing im taking colledge math pie is    3.1415926 approx and all those numbers backwards are pie so the answer im guessing is 35 this is correct

(Edited by Mr. Xemnas 2/15/2007 6:27:42 PM)

It make sense but what if the first day is tuesday then the idea doesn't work. But if you go by PI it would make sense. The only to asnwers that I would except is 1 and 35 but in my opinion your IQ is only  89021205022752570406513904890417857565439015889056 if you could get it the PI way since its way harder and is less substantial and cant be argued.

1. easy, he walks over the bridge leaving one piece of gold behind, maybe hide it against robbers or something, then on the other side, he hides one piece there 2, then walks back to get the remaining piece,then across the bridge again, and picks up the 3rd piece he had hidden 2. Now he has all 3 pieces on the other side :)

2. i think it was the butler, the Butler confirms that it was under the book where the maid left it, but there is no-one who can confirm that HE placed it in the book, so he has no alibi. Or, the written down numbers didnt match, OR the book didnt even had page 35 and 36( maybe missing, maybe only a few pages =P) Now tell me, am i right and if so, what of my suggestions is right =P

3. It was an empty lake, duhuh =P

rofl, but 1 and 3 are good answers, they are all possible!!!!!:O

ahh, now i know the answer!! Also pretty good answers, but mine were plausible:)

One little riddle, 2 actually.

Why do birds fly south in the winter??

A belgium throws his watch out of the window, why?

For nr1,was the party magician jogleing(i know i spelled it wrong) with them?Like throwing them from hand to hand,one being in mid air the whole time so that his gold and his combined weight was constantly under 80kg?
Also,for the butler one,he found out cause pages 35 and 36 are infact 1 single page so it was impossible to hide the money there hence he was lying?

The following sentence is false. The preceding sentence is true. Are these sentences true or false?

What has 4 legs and only 1 foot?

Where can you buy a ruler that is 3 feet long?

The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."

Carol is travelling by ship from south of the equator to the north.

She has a nice little second class cabin which has a bathroom, but no window.

Carol has no compass nor other instruments.

 Yet, without leaving her room or talking with anyone, Carol knew exactly when the ship crossed the equator.

No she is not phsyic and she does not have uber sensitive skin.

A long, long time ago - before airplanes were invented, a suspension bridge was being built to span the gorge near Niagara Falls.

However, there was no way a boat could carry the necessary suspension cables across the violent water, and the bridge could not be built until the cables spanned the river.

In desperation, the builders staged a contest, open to the public, as a way to solve their problem.

The contest was won by a young boy. Soon afterwards, the cables spanned the water.

 What countries did they stage the contest? What was the contest and how did it solve the problem?

Funny

These ones are tough. Should keep you going
