Right, this is pretty simple. I'll put a puzzle down to start with, someone else comes along and solves it, and then somebody puts down another puzzle, either the person who solved the puzzle, or someone else, if the person who solved doesn't have a puzzle to put down. All puzzles are fine, you have to explain the rules to finish the puzzle though. No questions, riddles are fine. Only one puzzle at a time, and if a puzzle lasts too long, I will ask the person for the answer, and then they'll put down the answer, and then someone puts down another puzzle. The person has to verify the answer, even if it's really obvious. There MUST be an answer to the puzzle, and preferably, you should know it... Right, here's my puzzle, I just figured it out last night, it was annoying me a bit yesterday... There are three cannibals and three missionaries on one side of the river. The aim of this is to get them over to the other side of the river in a boat which takes two. However, if there are more cannibals than missonaries at any stage, the cannibals will eat the missionaries. You have to get all the cannibals and missonaries to the other side of the river, safe and sound... I'd appreciate if you gave your answer like this... C = Cannibal, M = Missionary 0 MMMCCC 0 <-MC MMCC MC MMCC C M-> MMCC C MMMCC etc. etc. You have to bring them all over to the left(or right if you started them on the left) | ||||
0 MMMCCC | ||||
I wouldn't have taken the time to finish that...that would take forever to type... | ||||
I copy and pasted. | ||||
Correct... | ||||
Smart... | ||||
Do you want to post another one? I already wasted all those I know on another thread like this. | ||||
Hmmmm... Here's a strange one... I don't actually know many puzzles, I just made this up. lid + dim = ? | ||||
And sorry about that, it is slightly wrong, but anyway... I reckon someone should easily be able to get it. | ||||
middle? | ||||
Wait, there's nothing wrong with that, I don't think so anyway, sorry... And errr... no, it's not middle... | ||||
Maybe this will help... LID + DIM = ? | ||||
Cannibal-Missionary one. | ||||
All except for one of the first four words are repeated in this well-known phrase. What is the phrase? | ||||
All for one. Can anyone get LID + DIM = ? | ||||
Shouldn't it be "All for one and one for all"? | ||||
LIDDIM? | ||||
Errr... no... | ||||
DIMLID? | ||||
Nope... | ||||
| ||||
MIN? (Don't know.... just a guess....) or PRQ? | ||||
@Seloc, yeah... I was talking to Killer as he just said the first part... | ||||
Does it equal "???"? That's what someone said when I asked them... | ||||
Equal "???" ? No, not MIN, or PRQ. Ok, I'm going to make it more obvious... sort of... perhaps... Imagine the lines just below and on top of the letters. ____ ___ DIM + LID = ? | ||||
o.0 you switched the words around... so the order doesn't matter? | ||||
I don't think you are explaining it properly enough and telling us what kind of answer you want. What kind of puzzle is this? Is a a word thing or is it supposed to be in some way mathematical? Pictogram? | ||||
Ok, I'll tell tell you that it is mathematical. That should help you... You can either give your answer in letters or in numbers. If you can't get it now I'll just tell you the answer. | ||||
(m - i - d) + (d - i - l) if its anythin to do with 3 vector coordinates | ||||
No... Just so you know about those liney things above and below the letters, they're just commonly scribbled down on top and below of them, I don't think they're actually supposed to be there... It might only be for the Vs and the Is(*hint* *hint*) | ||||
Roman Numerals.... but I dont know how to do them properly, I never got past 20.... DIM + LID = DIIM | ||||
Indeed... That is correct. 948, or LIIM, not DIIM. | ||||
| ||||
@Seloc, it wasn't a coincidence as when I read what Killer posted I realized what the full statement that was your answer was, so that's why I posted it... nevermind... | ||||
what stays in a corner but can go all round the world? | ||||
