This is a continuation from Brain teaser / puzzle corner (part 1) (http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?topic=895.495).

You can PM me if you want extra minerals to give out to others who answered your question correctly!

[FlyingTiger]

lol daaaamn... here's my riddle though for those who haven't seen it

For 125 minerals:

Y Y H L Y E Y T R ? ? ?

Hint 1: Each letter has to do with a word.
Hint 2: It's sequential.

[tweakismyname]

lol congratulations huh?

mc2 you make it seem like we acomplished something

ok heres a ez 1 for 50 minerals and a :powerup: by the way it is a a non-logical puzzle

when is a door not a door?

same rules as always, no edits, no google, first correct post wins

[PowerkickasS]

/copy /paste

when's 1 + 1 =/= 2?
answer will be posted in 1 more day

@tweak
when it's a window?
when it's a gate?
when it's broken?
when it isnt built in?
when it doesnt open or close?

[Dreadnought]

Hmm When is a door not a door... It has to be a word twister. Thats the only feasible answer. A door isnt a door when its dehinged..

[tweakismyname]

alright heres a hard puzzle for 300 minerals and 2x :powerup:

its all math so be ready

there is a crazy guy who likes to open doors
so the asylum puts him in a room with 100 doors
the man starting on door 1 opens all the doors (1-100)
then he comes back to door 1 and closes every 2nd door (2, 4,6...)
then he comes back to door 1 and opens/closes every 3rd door (3,6,9...)
now say this continues for 100 rounds

how many doors are left open?
what are the door numbers of the opened doors?

hehe that should keep u guys busy
and i de-googlized it so it wont show up
same rules as always no edits no google first correct post wins

also my other riddle is still unsolved.

[PowerkickasS]

49 doors left open

opened numbers:
every odd number except ones which are multiples of 3, and all even numbers which are multiples of 3

[tweakismyname]

wrong power kickass i think you are assuming that this only happens 3 times like i displayed thru examples but he also opens every 4th door every 5th door,...... all the way to every 99th door then every 100th door.

oh and 1 more puzzle

a man flips a coin an infinate number of times,
what is the chance that during his flips that there is an equal amount of heads and tails?
assuming an exact 50% heads 50% tails probability

also more math this one will get you 50 minerals.

[josh]

a door isn't a door when it doesn't have a door knob...

[PowerkickasS]

wrong power kickass i think you are assuming that this only happens 3 times like i displayed thru examples but he also opens every 4th door every 5th door,...... all the way to every 99th door then every 100th door.

i have no idea what you're talking about there but you tend to have difficulties explaining your puzzles properly....(to me anyways lol)

i think it usually loses meaning during your transition from googleable riddles lol

oh and at your other question: 0%

EDIT: ok you can let some other people post stuff now :P

[Mike]

when is a door not a door?

When it's ajar.

Steven King rules :)

The probability of such occurence goes -> 1 (100%)

I think i solved it, but I'm not too sure...There should be 10 doors left open and they should be Doors 1, Door 4, Door 9, Door 16, Door 25, Door 36, Door 49, Door 64, Door 81, and Door 100 because everytime he starts over, all those doors that he closes he reopens. Like for example when he is doing the 2x Doors, he closes 2,4,6 etc. but then when he does 4x, since its been closed from 2x he opens its back up. Same thing with when he does it 3x, he closes the door 9 but reopens it when he does 9x etc. etc.

[mc2]

This is a very easy one, 1st member correct gets a power up
In a horse race, you just overtook the 2nd horse, what place are you in now?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This next one is slightly harder, 1st member correct gets 500 minerals

In a 100 meters sprint, runners A, B and C started at the same time.
Runner B arrived at the 90m mark when runner A arrived at the 100m mark.
Runner C arrived at the 90m mark when runner B arrived at the 100m mark.
Where was runner C when runner A arrived at the 100m mark?

[FlyingTiger]

Runner C was at the 81 m mark.

Let's say A ran 100 meters in 10 seconds... so A ran 10 m/s. This meant B ran it in 9 m/s or 90%. C ran it at 90% of B. So C ran it at 8.1 m/s thus 81 m. <--- Easier for me to visualize... I mean you don't need to convert it to speed. ^_^

[mc2]

Correct FlyingTiger, enjoy the 500 minerals.
People on this forum is smarter than people around me in real life......

[FlyingTiger]

For 250 minerals:

Y  Y  H  L  Y  E  Y  T  R ? ? ?

Hint 1: Each letter has to do with a word. (i.e. each letter represents the 2nd letter in each word)
Hint 2: It's sequential
Hint 3: Count how many total letters there are (missing and given) (there are 12 letters ;) )

I doubled the amount of minerals and gave another hint. Somebody is bound to get this now... haha  ;)

[josh]

you know sometimes a hint will tend to make the question more confusing. ???

[FlyingTiger]

yea these hints arent really that confusing.

this is much much easier than what tweak gave with the "A F I L N ? ? ?"

also my other riddle is still unsolved.


I think I know how to do it xD (probably not correct though)

the trick?: for each number from 1-100 determine the amount of numbers it can be divided by and if it's uneven then it's open (e.g 42: 3 14 6 7 2 21 42 1 -> 8numbers so it's not open) so 16 is open (1 16 2 8 4)

can't be bothered to go all the way with this alexei

ow never mind peter.hong already solved it xD

[tweakismyname]

ooo flying the answer to yours is
Y Y H L Y E Y T R R R R

oh and 2 of my puzzles were solved congradulations correct people the answers were

when its ajar

and

1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100

congradulations on getting it correct peops.

[Peter.Hong]

Hooray =). Took me awhile to solve it too lol. Nice, i needed more minerals, and i get 2 power ups..so cool

[tweakismyname]

here is another riddle for 100 minerals

Create the number 24 using only these numbers once each: 2, 3, 10, 10. You may use only the following functions: +, -, *, /. This is not a trick question; for example, the answer does not involve a number system other than base 10 and does not allow for decimal points

also

whats up with that? i gave good minerals for that riddle.
also
mc2 u gave ez questions, just i wasent awake when u posted or i woulda got in 5 secs

same rules as always.

@tweak
what's ajar?
what's your answer to the coin?
and pleaasseee one riddle at a time =P

[FlyingTiger]

whats up with that? i gave good minerals for that riddle.


i was just responding to the person who said my riddle was too confusing. your riddle was much harder than mine is all i'm saying

and yea you got it but you mine explaining your answer to claim your prize?

[tweakismyname]

oh explain huh? last letter of every month

[Peter.Hong]

@tweak.

Did i answer the question correctly or were you looking for something else? =\

[tweakismyname]

ugh im giving out too ez questions.

[Peter.Hong]

lol no you're not. I had to think about how to do that. If i had minerals to give away I would post some questions too.

[tweakismyname]

you can always ask mc2 for minerals to post riddles for,

sc2forum will give you minerals too but less likely (gave me 3000)

wow the coin one is hard.

oh and it is now worth 700 minerals.

edit: alright i figured it out now. this is really hard, i dont think you guys will get it.

[Xen]

flipping a coin infinitely would result in an infinite amount of tails and heads... right? infinite = infinite so 100% chance for an equal amount?

I'd love to know the answer to this one xD

[tweakismyname]

ok i finaly figured it out,,,, took 30 mins and also 5 calculators open at once, ive messed up like 3 times with this but i re-evaluated it 5 times and im sure im right now.

by the way its not an even % so if you can tell me between what 2 whole % it is the prize has been uped 1 more time,

700 minerals and 2x :powerup: for the correct answer.

[Peter.Hong]

What do you mean its not a percent? Its like a decimal percent? like 8.38% or something?

[tweakismyname]

yep.

[josh]

okay since i now have enough minerals for prizes, here's my puzzle for all of you to answer.

this is for 750 minerals and a  :powerup:

during a war, 3 men were captured by enemy soldiers. they were gagged and brought to their hideout. the captain of the platoon wishes to test the three men of their intelligence, so, he ordered his soldiers to tie and blindfold each of them up on chairs. once done, they alligned and made to face one direction and took off their blindfolds. here's how they look:

    h          h          h
  guy 1    guy 2    guy 3

take note that those guys are facing this way ------>

oh yeah. the "h" stands for their chairs.

when they have done this, the captain showed the three men 5 hats, 3 of which is white and 2 is black. he told them that he's gonna place 1 hat of random color on each of their heads and they would try to guess what color of the hat they're wearing within 1 minute. any one of them may answer, but if they answered incorrectly, moved a bit, talk or ran out of time, they will be shot. so they were once again blindfolded and he began putting hats on each of their heads. when the blindfold was removed, the soldiers took aim on them preparing to fire once an error occurred.

after 59 seconds of sitting quitely, the man in front (that's guy 3) answered. the captain was astonished because he got the right answer so they were set free.

what was the color of the hat of the man in front and EXPLAIN how he got that answer.

okay rules are:

1. the answer of the color and full and clear explanations is required.
2. first one to answer correctly wins
3. no edits
4. okay here's the tricky part. i will provide 3 hints for those who will ask for it but i will deduct 50 minerals per hint given. also, if you wish for me to answer the right color for you to just explain why, i will deduct 100 minerals. well, that goes for everyone.

let the game begin!

oh yeah one more thing, this will not involve math, just logical and deductive reasoning.

[tweakismyname]

ok guy 1 see the guys ahead and because he doesent speak up we atomaticly know that 2 and 3 are not both wearing black hats otherwize 1 would speak up therfore at least one of the hats is white, guy 2 knowing this he must know that if guy 3's hat is black then his must be white, but he also does not speak up, therefore guy 3 automaticly knows his hat is white.

ive done this one before.

hehe took a while to remember the logic tho.

[wuffle]

His hat was white. All of their hats were white. He figured this out since the captain's wording could be taken to mean that they all got the same color. Since they all have to be the same color, it couldn't be black since their are only 2 black hats.

EDit: WOW tweak! Nice logic.

[josh]

lol. you should have given the others a chance. lmao. anyway, here's 750 minerals for my troubles and a :powerup:

EDIT: oh i'm sorry. tweakismyname got the right answer.

[wuffle]

Yeah, that was pretty insane.

[tweakismyname]

hehe i need minerals to sponser all the riddles i give out.

lucky i noticed this i was about to go 2 bed before i saw ur new riddle.

[wuffle]

Coin one: 99.9...%

[FlyingTiger]

dude I don't think you can do the coin problem with simple math. All I can think of is using probabilities theories when I took stats class in high school. I really think the problem involves more than just a percentage. There is really no exact answer. I mean if you think about it, the only way you can get an equal number of heads and tails is an infinite number of flips.

If you want a percentage, it has to be based on a number of flips. There is no way you can calculate an exact percentage for an infinite number of flips unless its an equation based on the number of flips. It just doesn't make any sense. I would love to see how you calculated that percentage.

I mean if you are talking about infinity, then it's 100%. Cause really, its infinity... it may take countless millenias to get to that point, but since I have infinite amount of flips, I get it somehow... ^_^

[Peter.Hong]

a man flips a coin an infinate number of times,
what is the chance that during his flips that there is an equal amount of heads and tails?
assuming an exact 50% heads 50% tails probability



The chances are between 99 and 100 because the odds are not determined by previous coin flips. No matter how many times you flip a coin on the next flip the odds will stil be 50/50. However, probability shows us that the more number of times you flip a coin the closer you will get to this odds of 50/50. For example lets say 3 out of 4 flips are tails. So you have 25/75 however if on the next flip you get heads then it changes the odds to 40/60. And etc. So even though you will end up somewhere very very very close to 50/50 you will never really reach that probability even doing it an infinite amount of times. So you would end up with 99.999999999 repeating. This is going all by logic and the definition of probability so it may not be the answer you're looking for.

[PowerkickasS]

soooo....anyone's done stats201/208? xD
stats108 = probability = 0%. but that only works for continuous variables. not sure about discrete =/

josh i posted that puzzle up ages ago :P but heh your version is interesting :P


i dont think you guys will get it.

so.....do you feel really good about yourself now? >.> if that's what it takes then....keep it up ^.-

funny riddle!

what did johnny say when he walked into a bar?

[Nikzad]

25% probability of equal amount of heads and tails

ok i got one
A guy starts out at his house
He walks 3 miles south. Then he turns to his left and walks due east 5 miles and kills a bear. He then walks 3 miles north and arrives home just in time for dinner.

What color was the bear?

[burkid]

white.

[Nikzad]

yay burkid! 50 minerals for j00

[burkid]

sweet. this is the first one that ive got haha.

[wuffle]

He either turned right due east or left due west. =P But yeah he's at the north pole.

EDIT: HIS left. my mistake.

[DontHate]

no one answered this
"This is a very easy one, 1st member correct gets a power up
In a horse race, you just overtook the 2nd horse, what place are you in now?"
ur in second place.

[tweakismyname]

mabey im saying it wrong.

ok after first 2 flips probability is 50% right?
but if you dont get those you have 2 coins with either heads or tails making after 2 more flips your percentage goes to 62.5 because you have to reduce the percentage (25%)by the percentage you already have(50%), but then after the next two flips, there is a 1/6 chance which is 13.33333 percent chance which you also have to reduce by 62.5% making it about an aditional   5. somethin or another % so you are up to 67.5% but there is still more left to the equation more problems, but as you can see the added percents are decreasing at a decreaseing rate (desent seem like it at the start but it will... thats cause you are only losing 50% make sense?)which is easily graphable if you know how. so just figure out the rest.

i leave it up to you. that is hint 1.

what is the answer? mabey if you explain how you got your answer unlike all the other peops u will get it right.

by the way that really makes it ez doesent it? you only have to do 3 more probs to get the correct answer. so im lowing it to 400 minerals and 2x powerup.

disaree with my logic? prove it for 400 minerals.

[Nikzad]

lol

for me, that was the OPPOSITE of a hint

[tweakismyname]

it gets ezer all the time. trust me. just dont think about it too hard or you can confuse yourself.

[PowerkickasS]

tweak, are you trying to say that the probabilities of the coins based on the sampled flips aren't independent....? tweak seems to be becoming rather experimental and off on his own world now....=/

EDIT: or he is confusing himself with the odd possibilities of the coins losing probability to rematch back to equal numbers of heads and tails because of doubles, which is very subjective to luck of sampling and thus is rather impossible to determine an infinity let alone remaining in the boundary of the laws of probability -_-

[tweakismyname]

im saying yes they are not independent and can be solved thru this simple problem :

Toss the coin once, assign the value +1 to the side that shows (if heads comes up heads=+1 and tails=-1). Now toss the coin a second time.

The total will either be +2 or 0 with a probability of 1/2 that it is +2 and a probability of 1/2 that it is 0.

I use P(+x) to represent the probability that we will eventually get to a count of 0 starting with a count of +x.

So, after two tosses

(1) P = 1/2 + P(+2)

To solve for P(+2) we must toss the coin two more times and we will end up with +4 with a probability of (1/4), +2 with a probability of (1/2) and 0 with a probability of (1/4).

(2) P(+2) = (1/4)P(+4) + (1/2)P(+2) + (1/4)
(3) P(+2) = 1/2 + (1/2)P(+4)

Substitution back into the equation (1)

(4) P = 3/4 + (1/4)P(+4)

Toss the coin two more times and get +6 or +4 or +2 with probabilities 1/4, 1/2, 1/4.

(5) P(+4) = 1/4)P(+6) + (1/2)P(+4) + (1/4)P(+2)

Solve for P(+4) and we get

(6) P(+4) = (1/3) + (2/3)P(+6)

Substitute (6) back into (4) and you get

(7) P = 5/6 + (1/6)P(+6)

Now for a leap, I assert that:

(8 ) P(+n) = 1/((n/2) + 1) + (n/2)/((n/2) + 1)P(+(n+2))
and

(9) P = (n-1)/n + (1/n)P(+n)
for any even n

does that help? :P lol  ??? ??? ???

(muahahahah im soooo cunfusing!)

[wuffle]

According to your equation the probablity would be 99.9 repeating percent chance since (n-1)/n+(anything positive) will never be equal to, but will get very close to, 1. Sorry I didn't explain before; I didn't know we had to.

[tweakismyname]

alright that riddle is closed. im getting more confused by the second and i know im influencing my cunfusing ways on you guys too.

thinking of a new riddle.

Edit: alright heres my new riddle for 250 minerals
Add punctuation to the following phrase to make something gramatically and logically coherent:

i had had had tom had had had had had had had had the praise of the teacher

lol good luck

[im a roc]

Can you also change capitilazation and spacing? If not i have no idea... Can we have a hint???

[wuffle]

I had had, had Tom had had had had had had had had the praise of the teacher.

It's still not logically coherent. One should use a s few words as possible.

[Dreadnought]

Solve this damage dice eqution for 1 mineral!!!!

(7)(12)(93)

Tell me the minimum and maximum damage...

[tweakismyname]

uh im not sure how this works.

do you mean each die has either 7, 12, or 93 sides?

is it added or multiplyed or what?
never played a game with damage dice....

doesent that boost my ego hehe

uh 1 and 7812

EDIT: heres a new puzzle for you. 200 minerals it is worth
Create the number 24 using only these numbers once each: 3, 3, 7, 7. You may use only the following functions: +, -, *, /. This is not a trick question; for example, the answer does not involve a number system other than base 10 and does not allow for decimal points.

[Gah345]

Tweak!!!

After much pain and calculating i have your answer 

7 times (  3 divided by 7 plus 3 )   or    7(3/7+3)

because 3 times 7 is 21 ... close ... and 3/7 times 7 equals 3  put it together... 21 and 3 is 24

YAY my first one!!!


is it right?

[needcatscan]

We need to break out some Blaine the Mono

Here's one for 150 minerals:

Feed me and I live, Give me water then I die. What am I?


Straight from the train's mouth :) Good luck.

[Gah345]

Needcatscan

is it a fire? you feed it wood and if you give it water it dies?

[tweakismyname]

you know i have to look up riddle to post all the ones i do right? i saw this one yesterday the answer is

fire

and gah? redo the math. that doesnt come out to equal 24
+ you can ony use each number once when you wrote it (the one that would work) you used 7 three times

[wuffle]

You are fire.

[tweakismyname]

noooo 12 secs too late i shouldent of responded to gah with his incorrectness. UGH

[Alukard]

A baby? or maby fire? or maybe Gingerbread Man?

[Gah345]

no tweak... when i said

"because 3 times 7 is 21 ... close ... and 3/7 times 7 equals 3  put it together... 21 and 3 is 24"

i was just explaining how i did it, notice it says put it together, as in the two parts of the equation...i know there are 3 sevens in there but I used the correct number in my answer which does equal 24

obviously if you have 3x7 and (3/7)x7  you can combine it into (3/7+3)x7 which equals 24 and has the right number of numbers      what is wrong?

do you want more parentheses?  like    ((3/7)+3)7=24    better?

[tweakismyname]

???
hmm mabey i should start figureing out the answer to my puzzles before i post em.

ill think about it.

so it seems gah is correct, and those xtra () did help by the way

Also heres a new puzzle.
Elf+
Elf=
Fool

works the same as the qwert puzzle and this one is worth 250 minerals
e=? l=? f=? o=?

[Gah345]

if you follow the order of operations, the first 3 would be divided by 7 before the other 3 was added to that.

but i will admit they did make it more understandable


OOOOOO ive done that ELF one before!!!!!

[Gah345]

Well two numbers of three digits can only make a four digit number below 2000 so the F must equal 1

If F is 1 then L must be 2 because F + F = L  (1+1=2)

then L + L = O so O = 4  (2 + 2 = 4)

finally 1442 divided by 2 is 721 thus E = 7

E=7  L=2  F=1 O=4

[tweakismyname]

ur evil gah! fine take all my money!

heres one you wont get!

for 500 minerals:
13 dudes have this chest that contains a stack of dirty magazines (lol) now you see they want to set it up so that if the majoraty wants to see them they can but if its only a minoraty they wont be able to.
so they get this lockmaker and he puts a certain amount of locks on the chest. and each of the horny dudes gets a certain amount of keys: the question is what is the minimum amount of locks on the chest and the minimum amount of keys each horney dude needs to carry if any majoraty (7) of them want to open it?

hehe that will stump u also you get 2x :powerup:

for an extra 500 minerals label the keys that each dude has (a, b , c....)

rules: no edits, no google, (but can u tell i de-googleized it?) and first to post correct wins, both for part one and part two

[Gah345]

you may have me there Tweak! ;D

that sounds realllllly tough

hmmm...

So I looked up that coin puzzle tweak gave and here's the real solution:

Given a coin with probability p of landing on heads after a flip, what is the probability that the number of heads will ever equal the number of tails assuming an infinite number of flips?

Think of this problem instead as one of a random walk along a number line. Let 0 be the starting point, p be the probability of moving to the right, and q be the probability of moving to the left.
Let B=probability of ever moving one to the left from where you are.

Let A=probability of revisiting current square from the right.

B = q + Aq + A2q + A3q + ... = q/(1-A).

A=pB --> B=A/p --> B=A/(1-q).

q/(1-A) = A/(1-q) --> A=q,1-q.

However, A must be less than or equal to both p and q, thus the reasonable solution is A=min(q,1-q).

Redo the above only reverse the words left and right and A will still equal min(q,1-q). One ramification of this is that the probability of revisiting 0 is the same from both the left as the right. This stands to reason since any path has a mirror image on the other side of equal probability. So the answer is 2*min(q,1-q).

Below are the results of computer trials which have verified the answer above. For each probability p 100,000 trials were conducted, in which a trial ended when either the number of heads equalled the number of tails, or the difference was more than 25. It seems reasonable to assume that for p<=.4 if the difference ever equals 25 it is very unlikely that the gap ever be closed. A 'win' means the number of heads was ever equal to the number of tails. The number of losses would be 100,000 minus the number of wins.


p wins
----- ------
0.4 80058
0.3 59799
0.2 39957
0.1 19803



LOL yea I knew there was not a definitive percent answer.

omg i had say it before you look up

[josh]

whoa now that's one hell of a math. i only took up plane trigonometry. lol.

darn. i hate spywares.

[Gah345]

Tweak im askin my "good at math friend" maybe he can help me with you chest with locks and 13 guys with keys riddle, thats not against the rules is it?
i think it is combinations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think ive got it TWEAK!!!! muaahahahhaa
I used combinations and factorials that i learned this year(which have very few uses apart from this!!)

Locks on the chest =   1716    =   13C7

Keys per guy =   924    =   (1716x7)/13    or  12C6  = 924

i did some mini examples like a chest with only three people ,  the chest had 3 locks and the guys had 2 keys each
and then i upped it to 5 people with a jump up to 10 locks and 6 keys per person.

You know that the majority is 7 so you want to find every COMBINATION of 7 out of 13  and assign the members of that group the key type that corresponds with 1 lock. That way if u have less than 7 in your group, say u have 6 then they are missing the key needed that is held by all 7 who are NOT there. (since each group of 7 has a needed key type) There are 1716 combinations of 7 in 13 thus there are 1716 locks

if there are 1716 locks and each lock has 7 keys, thats 12012 keys total divided by 13 people is 924!!!!!

TADAAAAAAA!!!!!

theres no way ur gonna get me to label 12012 keys!!!

[tweakismyname]

gah you are soooooooooo wrong,

ill give you a hint,

(there is less then 100 locks and less then 100 keys)

does that help?

lol 17

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?

If I find out you googled this, I'll eat your children.

[wuffle]

It is nothing. =D This is a fairly old and well known riddle.

[Hadean]

Well, damn you.

[burkid]

yeah, that was posted somewhere in the middle of part 1.

[Itsmyship]

OH yeah, well I have a riddle for all of you: What's in my pocket??


Hah!! I just beat all of you with literature :P

[tweakismyname]

a ring

[wuffle]

a bannana

[tweakismyname]

OH yeah, well I have a riddle for all of you: What's in my pocket??


Hah!! I just beat all of you with literature  :P


he is quoting frodo (edit: er bilbo) from the hobbit, and the answer there was a ring,

therefore
the one ring TO RULE THEM ALL!

thats why he mentioned liteature.

[PowerkickasS]

hey itsmyship
how long's a piece of string?

[wuffle]

Dude it's definately a bannana... lol.

[josh]

uhm, wait guys. what question is still left unanswered?

[wuffle]

We are guessing what is in his pocket. I say hand.

[Itsmyship]

Hahaha, sorry guys, I just kinda meant that as a joke. But I must say...a banana is definitely my favorite answer throughout that whole thing, so I'll give wuffle 100 and i'll give tweaks 100 cuz he was the first to know what i was talking about :P lol, sorry to sidetrack it

[Xen]

I'll just give the retard's answer to tweak's little riddle: one lock that requires 7keys and give each guy one key xD

oh btw was the whole a,b,c,d thing a subliminal hint that the number of keys is <= 26?

[wuffle]

How did you get 26? If you multiplied 7 by 4 it would be 28...

[kuvasz]

Where did you get that four from? ;D He got 26 because there are 26 letters in the English alphabet...

[kuvasz]

Because it was a family tree? She grew up, had her own children, the tree got taller and realitve to that she went lower, "fell down".

[MarineCorp]

I got an joke:

[burkid]

2) by being chuck norris.

[Light]

ne...it does, in a way, have something to do with the answer.

[DontHate]

he roundhouse kicks the sun? his beard? he's chuck norris?

[Light]

no, but its quite a stupid answer, like remy's '' dog & desert '' riddle.

P.S- no, he didnt pee on the sun so it went out.

[DontHate]

chuck norris scared it and then it burned out?
chuck norris insulted it so it cried and burnt itself out?
chuck norris can't fly!

[Light]

no! keep the guesses coming...if i dont reply, it means WRONG

[DontHate]

heat protected space ship?

[Light]

now thats really stupid! too stupid....


''i feel a lot of heat when i reveal the answer''

[wuffle]

Chuck norris burns the sun. It is common knowledge really.

[zeratul11]

chuck norris... sun? without burning?

only in the movies.

seems like this forum is dead. i would like to post a puzzle but i have no minerals for rewards.

[burkid]

[tweakismyname]

seems like this forum is dead. i would like to post a puzzle but i have no minerals for rewards.

first msg mc2 or sc2forum and they will lend you minerals for riddles if you dont have the money

[JBL]

alright to get this thing going again heres another riddle for 250 minerals

what is something that god never sees, a king rarely sees, and we see every day?

same rules as always


I think I got it..

god never sees someone as important as him because he's unique
a king rarely sees someone as important as him as well
(note: by "we" i read "the average people"
and finally "we" see everyday people as important as us.

if it's not that.. then I have no idea..

[tweakismyname]

the correct answer is "an equal" but you are close enough jbl

[JBL]

the correct answer is "an equal" but you are close enough jbl


Oh woot! thx!

and yes.. the explaination would sound much better with "an equal"

[tweakismyname]

alright heres a one i liked that i just found for 250 minerals

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red.
What am I?

same rules as always

I think burkid is right.

[DontHate]

heh, yea but volcano is a good guess...

[tweakismyname]

burkid got it right,
but for the rest of you heres another 1 for 250 minerals

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

alright heres another for 250 minerals,

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?

I also like the ones that don't involve dogs and deserts and dying of thirst

[burkid]

[Nikzad]

BS YOU SO GOOGLED THAT OMFG

[DaygoWop]

no, I actually asked one of my co-workers. it is an old riddle...

[Nikzad]

hmmm I think it's a bit unfair

[DaygoWop]

Well, if tweak thinks it is unfair to ask a co-worker and decides to not award me, then i agree. My apologies, I wasnt aware...

[Nikzad]

Yeah we should just establish it as a rule from now on. I mean we already depend on the honor system for people not to look on google, so hopefully it will work

[Light]

um....scarecow?...d'oh..

[Nikzad]

no asking other people for the answer
thanks for the money back burkid

heres my new riddle for you guys, 250 minerals to decode this
Y Y U R Y Y U B I C U R Y Y 4 M E

same rules

*EDIT*oh and made up riddles usualy make no sense unless they are mathmatical, "how did the dog die in the middle of the desert when he packed enough supplys?" didnt remy post that one? made no sense, and also the bear that picked his nose one that was unfair.(also posted by remy) but usualy they are funny so i guess they are ok.

[tweakismyname]

What do you call a scarecrow that produces milk?

a goat?
lol

[tweakismyname]

no1 is responding to riddles so far today so here is another riddle for 100 minerals and :powerup:

Y Y U R Y Y U B I C U R Y Y 4 M E


Okay I got this one too. Please do not accuse me of cheating again. I have been very slow at work I need some time to kill. I did not ask anyone nor did i google(I never have googled any riddle for that matter)

Too wise you are too wise you be I see you are too wise for me

[MarineCorp]

Oh nice one DaygoWop i understand these decode riddles now ^_^

Give us another one tweak

[DaygoWop]

I guess it is my turn to give a riddle. I did figure out the last 2...

okay, a  :powerup: and 100 minerals...

You walk up to a mountain that has two paths. One leads to the other side of the mountain, and the other
will get you lost forever. Two twins know the path that leads to the other side. You can ask them only one question. Except! One lies and one tells the truth, and you don't know which is which.
So, What do you ask?

EDIT: same rules! no google especially! Also, I want to hear your reasoning...

[MarineCorp]

I think this is a trick question,

i am going to say the twin which is 'One leads to the other side of the mountain' will be the one i will ask??? because you know
2 paths = 2 twins

[Hadean]

You ask either twin which direction the other twin would tell you to go. And then go in the opposite direction. Boom.

*edit* Oh explanation?

Well I already know the riddle for one, but it goes like this see. If you ask the twin who lies which direction the honest one would tell you to go, he'll tell you the opposite. So you take the path he didnt tell to take and you'll be going on the right path. Same goes for the honest one, he'll tell you what the liar would say which is the wrong path, so if you do the opposite of that path, you'll also get the correct one.

Happy?

[Nikzad]

You ask either twin which direction the other twin would tell you to go, so the one who lies would say the opposite of what the honest one would say (the path to death) and the honest one will tell the truth and corroborate the liar's answer...Hadean you didn't give reasoning! BWAHAHAHAHA GIVE ME THE MINERALS

[Hadean]

Muahhaha but I did. Check the edit biotch. MUAHAHAHAHAHA

*edit* In my post it also says, last editted, two minutes prior to your post. so you must be a damn slow typer. Lol. Sorry nikzad, no soup for you. :good:

[Nikzad]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO EDITS!!

give me the 100 minerals!!! i need the extra .001 extra minerals per day omg please!

[MarineCorp]

NO!!! I actually thought i was right!! :upset:

[Hadean]

You can have them, I just want my bloody powerlevel at 0 again.

[MarineCorp]

Are there any other riddles left? this is getting really fun

[Nikzad]

You can have them, I just want my bloody powerlevel at 0 again.

awww how sad :'(

have a :powerup:

[DaygoWop]

Okay, Hadean gets the powerup and Nikzad gets the minerals. Gj you two! :good:

Anyone have anyother riddles?

[madmatg]

so its kinda lame and i dont have many minerals but, 50 mins to the answer

Which of the following statements are true?

1. At least one of theseten statements is false.
2. At least two of these ten statements are false.
3. At least three of these ten statements are false.
4. At least four of these ten statements are false.
5. At least five of these. ten statements are false
6. At least six of these. ten statements are false
7. At least seven of these ten statements are false
8. At least eight of these ten statements are false.
9. At least nine of these ten statements are false.
10. At least ten of these ten statements are false.

[Light]

9?

[madmatg]

you also need an explanation

[MarineCorp]

1 because there is a word that is mis-spelled 'theresten'

[madmatg]

GM k : i was gonna torture you and make you put an explanation but its wrong anyways so you dont have to unless you wanna argue your right

Marine Corp, your on the right track but need to look a little harder

[madmatg]

lol one more for same amount of mins

I went into the woods and got it. I sat down to seek it. I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it. What is it?

[MarineCorp]

!!!!!!
my mistake!!! 1 because one of the word is mis-spelled 'theseten' not 'theresten' >.< my bad


lol one more for same amount of mins

I went into the woods and got it. I sat down to seek it. I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it. What is it?


is it a yourself?? i dunno i can't explain why i don't understand

[DaygoWop]

fresh air?

[kuvasz]

A tick.

[madmatg]

everyone is wrong so far except kuvasz

kuva : thats an acceptable answer as well as the one i have which is a splinter, mins to you

[MarineCorp]

so what's the answer for your previous one?

[kuvasz]

Yaay! My first present ;D Thanks!

[MarineCorp]

well.. what is the answer for the previous riddle madmatg?

[hillzagold]

unless you gave us the option of having them all false, the answer would be 1. if any of the other 9 were true, then every statement before that would also be true, so the only way to have just one true is for 1 to be true.

ah, my mistake, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are true, with the following statements being false

[tweakismyname]

man 2 whole pages apper when im at school,

all right the riddle about the peculiar sentance still stands, hurry up and figure that out.

[burkid]

I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting; nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality, counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications' incomprehensibleness.

its peculiar because its just using big words to say that doctors have bad handwriting, despite their medical genius.

[hillzagold]

damn, knew it was tobacco

...tobacco has two c's in it?

[DontHate]

it's the 2 semi circles.

[Hadean]

Marine Corp, did someone get it right? If not.

It's a splinter.

[MarineCorp]

no it's not that i mean the one previous to that splinter riddle

[DaygoWop]

Can someone give me another good riddle (one that is as good as tweaks ;)) I am really bored at work and need something desperately to do!

[tweakismyname]

alright daygowop i got some more money from sc2 forum so here is three more riddles!

for 400 minerals and a :powerup:
What word in uses all five vowels plus Y in alphabetical order and uses each one only once?

not good at english? heres another one for you if you know math for 250 minerals and a :powerup:

say you have two hourglasses, one mesures four minutes and one measures seven minutes, how can you measure nine minutes?

like silly riddles? heres one for you! only 150 minerals cause this one is preaty common riddle

There are two bodies on the floor. They are surrounded by water and broken glass. How did they die?

[burkid]

the fishtank broke for the last one. therefore they (the fish) suffocated.

[tweakismyname]

thats right burkid.

i bet you have no clue what the answer to the first one is.

[burkid]

youre right, i dont lol.

[hillzagold]

second one,

0/4 and 0/7 to start
start, 4/4 and 4/7 after 4
flip 4, 0/4 and 4/7
3/4 and 7/7 after 3
flip, 1/4 and 0/7
4/4 and 3/7 after 3
flip 7, 4/4 and 4/7
4/4 and 7/7 after 3
3+3+3=9

[tweakismyname]

second one,

0/4 and 0/7 to start
start, 4/4 and 4/7 after 4
flip, 0/4 and 3/7
3/4 and 6/7 after 3
flip 7, 3/4 and 1/7
4/4 and 7/7 after 6
3+6=9 minutes


uh rethink that, eather you typed it up wrong or you did the math wrong because that does not make sense

[hillzagold]

yeah, i noticed, my edit adds up to 9 though

[LordKerwyn]

start both glasses when the 4 minute one is doen re flip it when the 7 minute one is done there is one minute left on the 4 minute after the minute flip over the 4 minute again when that is done it will have 9 minutes from when the 7 minute glass ended.

[tweakismyname]

3/4 and 7/7 after 3
flip, 1/4 and 0/7


how does 3/4 spontaniously change to 1/4?

wrong again

-edit- [quote]start both glasses when the 4 minute one is doen re flip it when the 7 minute one is done there is one minute left on the 4 minute after the minute flip over the 4 minute again when that is done it will have 9 minutes from when the 7 minute glass ended. [/qoute]
4 minutes + 4 minutes + 4 minutes. thats 12 minutes, rething what you typed if you flip over the 4 minute one 3 times when its dont that makes 12 lol

[LordKerwyn]

not 4 + 4 + 4. 1 + 4 + 4 is what i said there is only 1 minute left on the 4 minute glass when the 7 minute one ends and all you have to do is after that one minute is done just flip the 4 minute one 2 more times like i said in the orignal post. I know my grammar sucked on my original pst but is what it was suoppose to say.

[tweakismyname]

@lordkerwyn
actualy if you start mesuring time after the 7 minute goes out it would be a way to measure 9 minutes but thats tooo many flips, say you gotta measure it quick. like when you flip over the first hourglass.

not the answer im looking for but because it could work i will award you 100 minerals

[hillzagold]

when i use a fraction, it refers to how much is on the bottom. 3/4 on bottom means 1/4 on top. flip it over and you have 1/4 on bottom with 3/4 on top

[tweakismyname]

@hillzagold
hmm urs makes the same sense as lord kerwyns and because i didnt clarafy ill give you 100 minerals also.

but from now on i want the answer to be mesurable from the time you flip the first hourglass for full award.

[LordKerwyn]

start both glasses when the 4 is done flip it ( 4 minutes in) and when the 7 is done flip ( 7 minutes in) and when the second flip on the 4 finishes 1 minute (8 minutes in) later reflip the 7 which only have 1 minute to put back (9 minutes) 4 + 4+ 1 = 9

[tweakismyname]

there you go lordkerwyn

now you got it.

[LordKerwyn]

I won?
Wow i thouht i might have been to late now to work on the word one.


Is facetiously the word?

[tweakismyname]

what does that word mean?

[LordKerwyn]

it means someone is speaking sarcrasticly ex. I loooovvvvvveeeeee speaking facetiously.

[Hadean]

if it'll get me points. It's essentially the adverb of being frivolous, or joking / playful. Understand?

[LordKerwyn]

I think hadean has a better definition but either way it ultimatly means being sarcastic

[tweakismyname]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i think somebodys cheating,

besides that is not what it means lordkarwyn
THEREFORE because you dont even know what the word means im accusing you of google.

sooooooooooooo  points deducted by 1/2 because i have no proof.

*edit* it does not mean sarcastic at all.

[LordKerwyn]

thats fine i got a friend that loves bigger words and that is one of hie more common words either way i just wanted credit for finding it hadean can have the other half of the minerals if his definition is correct.

BTW sarcastic is a synonym for one of the definitions of facetious. (i just looked it up on dictionary.com)

[tweakismyname]

all right i guess you may be right but that doesent mean much only if it shows on the main page is it a true synonym it have like 50 different ones if you go to thesaurus

if you look mickey mouse is also a synonym.
oh and also einstien
just because its a synonym doesent mean its a defenition, i asked for definition.

[LordKerwyn]

Ok i see where your coming from. Like i said earlier i didnt really care about the minerals for this one. Credit ftw lol

[MarineCorp]

Ferociously- something horrible/ scary

i can't think of anything else since LordKerwyn said 'Facetiously'

[Hadean]

Jesus tweak, just take it as it is man. And the dictionary is completely ****ing based off of using synonyms to give a definition. But if you need a better def, then like is aid before. Being facetious is another means to say joke or not serious, facetiously can be used to explain that you werent serious about something, you were joking.

So you could say "Wow, you actually fought a dinosaur?" "I was being facetious you idiot." or "How come you said Starcraft two was gonna suck nuts?" "I was speaking facetiously."
