A = false B=true Ask A, "would B say B is the liar", yes Ask B, "would A say A is the liar", no So ask anyone, if he says yes, you're talking the liar, else the other one. Each syllable is 5 Edit:36 and 19 ... I suddenly can't count..well not so sudden, have good reason *wink*, anyone?anybody?meh never mind |

Tinkybabe: TRY THESE 1. queue 2. simple...cos the man is short!!! 3. "where is the road out" 4. jennifer is 20...cos the ages are in twos... 5. 23 and 42 |
Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by Tinkybabe(f): 5:34pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
@ wiegraf: A = falseYou are still missing the point.the answer you have provided has only helped in identifying the two men and not the way out.In other words,you'd have to ask another question to get out of day and the riddle does not permit that. Now, I rephrase the question: What one question can you ask the guards(good and bad) to know the way out? wiegraf:not entirely right |
Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by Tinkybabe(f): 5:39pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
alaric saltzman: 1)right 2)right but explain 3)explain how the man will get out with that question 4)wrong..it's been answered by someone correctly 5)not entirely correct.try harder! |

Tinkybabe: @ 'what road would you partner suggest I take?' They will both lie |
Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by wiegraf: 9:44pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
Or, 'what road will your partner suggest I do not take?' Will point out the correct one. Even if he were too short to reach button 8, why does he go to the top when its raining? Consierge? |
Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by alaricsaltzman: 11:24am On Oct 03, 2012 |
Tinkybabe: 2) if there are pple on the elevator, they'll def press it for him or on the rainy days, he'll use his umbrella... 3) i'll ask "which road would the other guard show me?", definitely, the truthful guard would show me "the wrong road" and the lying guard would still lie abt the road the truthful guard would show me which is equally the wrong road...irrespective of who i ask, they'll both show me the wrong road and i'll just follow the opposite.... 4) ok...15, 5 for every syllable...jen-ni-fer=5*3=15 5)since its a newspaper, front pages would affect backpages...so if 24 and 41 are missing then 23, 24, 37, 38 are missing 19, 20, 41, 42 are missing |

tym 2 ask my own: 1. The office team is out racing at the skating rink during a long lunch hour. Samantha beat Jim. Louise was not last. Dennis was beaten by Jack and Louise, in that order. Jim was not first. Jack lost to Jim. Who won? 2. When Jim was taking a stroll one day, he met his father-in-law's only daughter's mother-in-law. What did he call her? 3. You bought 2 antique lamps for $50 each. Later, you were offered $60 for one and you sold it, changed your mind when you saw its duplicate being sold for more, and bought it back for $70. You then sold it for $80. The first one didn't sell at all so you reduced it by 10% below what you originally paid and managed to sell it. Did you make or lose money on the deal, and how much? |

Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by Tinkybabe(f): 1:45pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
alaric saltzman: tym 2 ask my own: 1) Samantha won Samantha-Jim-Jack-Louise-Dennis 2)Mum or mother His father-inlaw's daughter is his WIFE and his wife's mother-inlaw is his MOTHER 3)profit of $15 treating each sale independently, I made $10 from the first sale made another $10 from the resale and made a loss of 5 from the sale of the other lamp so gain of $20- loss of $5 = gain of 15 |

1. The spy was captured easily, and his message proved to be so simple that the lieutenant saw its importance immediately. What does it say? Alice: Tom told Ann Carter, Kelly and Ted, David Atwood was not moving out now. David awaiting you. 2. What is the 4-digit number (no zeros) in which the last digit is double the third, the third digit is one more than the second, and the first digit is one less than the second and one-fourth of the last? 3. While visiting a Junior High School, I asked two students to give me their ages. The did so, and then, to test their arithmetical powers, I asked each of them to add the two ages together. One game me 44 as the answer, and the other gave me 1280. I immediately saw that one of them had subtracted one age from the other, while the other student had multiplied the two ages together. Can you tell what the students ages were? |

wiegraf:seems u are in another time zone...its thursday joor ![]() |
Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by wiegraf: 3:04pm On Oct 04, 2012 |
alaric saltzman: Heh, I thought so at first, but it says the day before the day before yesterday, that's 3 days ago. That day is 3 days after saturday. So 3 + 3 = 6 That would make today friday, unless I'm starting from 0 rather than 1 (if you know what I mean, can't describe it properly). Here's an easy one, lemme see if I can... A pond has lilies growing on it. During summer, they double after every 24 hours. If we start with 6 lilies and it takes the lilies 90 days to cover the ponds surface, on what day does the pond have half its surface covered in lilies... There's a much juicier one, to remember it now... |
Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by Nobody: 3:12pm On Oct 04, 2012 |

Re: Riddles Riddles Riddles!!! by wiegraf: 3:14pm On Oct 04, 2012 |

Like the others, after figuring you out not so tough anymore, are you? There's a more complex version though. Likely been posted here already as well You have 9 coins, one is lighter than the others. You can confirm this only by balancing them against themselves on a balancing weight scale. You can figure out the lighter one with 2 tries, how? |
