No... but... no-one would EVER do that. They're *insane*! Blasphemous!

[The Highway]

You didn't answer the question

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

What is wrong with this picture?

No way I'm quoting that...
It's mere existence. Oh my...

[The Highway]

It's mere existence. Oh my...

You need to provide a specific detail

[Neelo]

It's so terrible I can't say it, The Highway... okay, I'll try... cucumber cut l-l-l... I can't! I just can't! It's inhumane, I almost fainted when I saw that picture...

[Didero]

What are you all so worked up about? It's just a bunch of cucumbers cut lengthwise, with their tips removed. That's not even a puzzle.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Oh, the horror!!

[thesporkman]

Hahahahahaha! LOL! Who would cut a cucumber lengthwise? Tee hee ha hoo ho... *snort* titter titter giggle hee hee hoo... Ohhh... *sigh* Lengthwise... Tee hee...

You obviously havent played 302

[Alcoremortis]

That picture needs to go in the disturbing art thread. Even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with Monkey Island.

[Didero]

You obviously havent played 302
Actually, I have. I just don't have the exact same opinions on what's weird and what's not as a nonexistent gypsy mole woman :)

Oh no you didn't!

[NeatNit]

Ok. So there's a 10x10 grid. You and another player play a game.
The first player to play places a coin on any square on the grid, and then each player on his turn moves the coin either up, down, left, or right.
The first player to place the coin on a square that was already played, loses.
Are you first to play or second, and which technique will you use to win?

To be honest I don't know the answer to this one but my math teacher will give me a chocolate bar if I solve it! So gimme the answer!

Edit: Oh, and B) 11x11 grid

Edit: Oh, and B) 11x11 grid

Quick question: Does the first player to play place the coin *and* make the first move, or is placing the coin his 'move' and the second player gets to make the first move?

[doodinthemood]

Not solved B yet, but here's A:

Split the whole grid up into 2x2 squares. Imagine 1 of these 2x2 squares.
If your opponent is the first to move into a square ("crossing off" one of the boxes) then you have another square to go to. If your tactic is then to stay within that square, then we are left with a 1x2 rectangle that's not crossed off - if your opponent goes in one square, you can always go to the other.

So, if your opponent is the first one in a 2x2 square, you move to another square in that 2x2
If your opponent crosses off the third square in a 2x2, you cross off the fourth.

This way, you always have a move, and so the opponent must lose, if you are the person who crosses off the second square. If the first player places and then moves, then this method means the first player wins, if the first player places, then second player moves, this method means the second player wins.

It works for all nxm where n and m are even.

[NeatNit]

First player only places the coin.

I'm going to have to see if that works... :)
good job

[doodinthemood]

Think I've solved B as well. The important thing to be familiar with is the idea that winning in this game is the same as avoiding loss.
OK for the 11x11 board. Imagine the 10x10 board cut away from it. We already know that it is impossible to lose on that bit of the board if we follow the rules for it set out in A. We are left with an L shape. Or a 1x11 rectangle and a 1x10 rectangle. Split the 1x10 rectangle into 5 1x2 domino shapes. Whenever he goes on one of the 1x2 squares, you go onto the other. You can never lose on that 1x10 rectangle.
For the 1x11 rectangle, do the same, and you're left with 1 square left over.
To win, be the first player and choose that square first.

To sum up, on mxn grids with even numbers, second player wins.
On mxn grids with odd numbers, first player wins, by chosing a corner square to start on.

[NeatNit]

Good job! That's the right answer (which by the way I figured out earlier today :P)!

[Gman5852]

Heres a riddle I just learned(might be easy but dont care)

Its a 7 letter word
it preceded God
it is greater than God
it is eaviler than the devil
poor people have it
rich people need it
and if you eat it you die.

[doodinthemood]

If I say the answer, you wouldn't know if I'd solved the riddle or not. :p

[Gman5852]

If I say the answer, you wouldn't know if I'd solved the riddle or not. :p

That actually does sound like you know the answer to my riddle.

[Avistew]

I know the answer too, but I had heard it before. Well, minus the first two hints.

[NeatNit]

I can't figure it out :(

[Klatuu]

I can think of nothing that answers your riddle, Gman.

[Avistew]

I can think of nothing that answers your riddle, Gman.

I have to ask, did you do that on purpose?

[Klatuu]

I have to ask, did you do that on purpose?

Of course! :D

[Gman5852]

I can think of nothing that answers your riddle, Gman.

I have to ask, did you do that on purpose?

Of course! :D

I am glad you did that on purpose or that would have been wierd.

[Avistew]

I am glad you did that on purpose or that would have been wierd.

Maybe they would have asked "do what on purpose?" to which I probably would have said "oh, nothing".

[Gman5852]

Maybe they would have asked "do what on purpose?" to which I probably would have said "oh, nothing".

I was worried what you had said in quotes might reveal the answer but it turned out you revealed nothing(ok people you are now idiots if you cant solve it by now.

[The Highway]

Allright, I have one:

Sam goes into a clothing store with the intention of buying a new coat. However, he doesn't know his size, and there are, let's say 2,000, different coat sizes in the store. What is the minimum number of times Sam has to take a coat off before he finds one that fits him? All coats in the store have tags on them denoting the sizes. And, just so you know, this is the Sam I mean:

http://wire.ggl.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/250px-sam__max.png
Lagomorph not included. His brain is gone!

So, in summary:

Sam go to store
How many times must he take off coats to find his size?

[NeatNit]

Once.
He just needs to take off the coat he's wearing and look at the tag. His coat must have a tag on it, because it's in the store ;)

Either that or it's all about the math, which I have no intention to do right now.

Absolutely correct! I thought of that at work yesterday. I work in apparel.

[NeatNit]

Ok, same question with Max! (let's say that was sometime between Hit the Road and Season One, k? Just to make sure he has a brain.)

[Tor]

Ok, same question with Max!
Zero, he wouldn't want one.

Ok, a slightly more mathy attempt...
Assuming that the sizing system is uncomplicated, i.e. each size is strictly larger than the previous one and smaller than the next one, Max would be able to perform a binary search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search) of the 2000 sizes. He'd find the correct size in no more than ⌈log₂ 2000⌉ = 11 attempts. (He has to take a coat off no more than 10 times)

11 times. he has to take it off to buy it.

also, i doubt max even knows what a binary search is.

[Tor]

i doubt max even knows what a binary search is.Wha-
Is that even possible?! :eek:

[puzzlebox]

I wouldn't know what a binary search is if I hadn't learned it at uni.

Actually, there are a lot of things I probably wouldn't know if I hadn't learned them at uni - like why tequila shots are a bad idea, and the importance of keeping an eye on your clothes when you go skinnydipping.

[Tor]

I wouldn't know what a binary search is if I hadn't learned it at uni.
So... are you suggesting that Max somehow doesn't have a university degree? I'm shocked! :p

[puzzlebox]

He could do, it's just I don't think they teach search algorithms in the "Firearms and Psychological Torture" major.

[Gman5852]

He could do, it's just I don't think they teach search algorithms in the "Firearms and Psychological Torture" major.

Yeah they do I major in that class. we dont have a teacher though since one kid accedently fired his gun at the wrong time but we are pulling through just fine.

[Avistew]

The question was the minimum amount of time, and I say it's zero. Max doesn't need to take his own coat off since he doesn't wear one, and the first one he tries might be the right one. Meaning he'd find a coat that fits without taking any coat off.

but then he has to take it off to buy it.

[Avistew]

but then he has to take it off to buy it.

The question was "to find one that fits", not "to buy it". I have no reason to believe Max would actually buy the coat anyways. Methinks he'd just leave with it on.

too true

[Lena_P]

There are four children of all different heights and ages.
The second oldest is the tallest.
Jane is taller than Joe.
Anne is shorter than Bob.
Joe is older than Anne.
Joe is not the oldest.
Anne is not the shortest.
Bob is not the tallest.

[doodinthemood]

1)The second oldest is the tallest.
2)Jane is taller than Joe.
3)Anne is shorter than Bob.
4)Joe is older than Anne.
5)Joe is not the oldest.
6)Anne is not the shortest.
7)Bob is not the youngest.
8)From 2&3: Shortest is Anne or Joe, Tallest is Jane or Bob
9)From 4&5: Oldest is Jane or Bob
10)From 6&8: Shortest is Joe
11)From 5&8: Joe is not second oldest
12)From 4: Joe is not youngest
13)From 5,11&12: Joe is second youngest
14)From 4&13: Anne is youngest
Nothing else can be determined, so the following 3 answers are possible:

Height:
Joe Anne Bob Jane
Age:
Anne Joe Jane Bob

Height:
Joe Anne Jane Bob
Age:
Anne Joe Bob Jane

Height:
Joe Jane Anne Bob
Age:
Anne Joe Bob Jane

Edit: The question has changed to say Bob is not the tallest. Thus the top of those answers is the only correct one :)

[The Highway]

Jane is taller than Joe.
Anne is shorter than Bob.

Here's a good one:

Give me a scientific, dictionary definition of a door.

[Avistew]

Sure, let me give this a try.
A door is a movable (but not removable in typical use) object meant to block a hole through which you can access a room or container.

I'm guessing it's safe and sound?

[doodinthemood]

What if it's better safe than sorry

[Didero]

Maybe 'riddle' is a misleading word. 'Puzzle' would be better.
And you guys are thinking entirely in the wrong direction. :)

[Avistew]

I have no clue what you're going for, so I'll make my comments:
That safe looks like you need to be left handed or something. Of course, maybe you need to use your right hand to turn the thingie. But the thingie has no number or letters or markings on it. And then there is a key. In the middle. I hope you're not supposed to unlock it all at the same time.
Also, seems to me having the hinges on the outside is pretty stupid.

Mmh, here you go for the stuff I notice from the picture. Not sure if I'm going in the right direction or not.

[Didero]

Not sure if I'm going in the right direction or not.
You're not :)

[Avistew]

You're not :)

Well, if I actually need to think about it, I'm out. :p

[Lena_P]

I don't really understand how it is a puzzle/riddle. "Post your findings?" It's a pixellated gif of a safe? It's safe "a" apparently? I don't get what the puzzle is.

[Didero]

I could give a hint: It's not a word riddle.
I don't know how much that helps though.

[Neelo]

http://ristantia.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/key1.jpg
Or, if the key doesn't fit on the lock...
http://www.rutgersprep.org/kendall/7thgrade/inventions/cycle-A_2004_05/dynamite.jpg

I have no idea what the riddle is supposed to be.

[Didero]

Another hint: What's depicted doesn't matter, but the image does.
I could give more hints, but I can't really think of more that won't outright give away the solution, or at least the way to get the solution.

[Neelo]

I still have no idea how to solve this.

[Harald B]

Yeah, forget the solution, we're still trying to figure out what the question is here!

[Didero]

There isn't a question, really, but there's something to solve. It's a puzzle, not a riddle.

[Klatuu]

I don't know if puzzles like this really belong here, but it's a fun one nonetheless...

I haven't had a lot of time to analyze the image, but I'm guessing it involves some sort of steganography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography). Like, taking the last significant digits in the RGB value of each pixel starting in the upper right, and converting that to ASCII. (Except that exact formula doesn't seem to work.)

Or...something like that...

[Dangeresque]

i don't think it takes a genius to solve this. i just think you should explain whats going on cause i dont think anyone has a clue what you're looking for. how to open it? how to move it? how much money is in it? i don't know what other questions i could ask.

[Dangeresque]

scratch my post i must have written it while you were posting

[Alcoremortis]

There isn't a question, really, but there's something to solve. It's a puzzle, not a riddle.

Like why there's both a combination lock and a keyhole? That is puzzling to me, cause usually its just one or the other.

[doodinthemood]

Google image search "safe" and the thing and similar pop up, so it's nothing wrong with the safe itself. At the moment, the only question that comes to mind is "why has he posted a picture of a safe?"

[Didero]

At the moment, the only question that comes to mind is "why has he posted a picture of a safe?"
That's wrong though. Like I said before:
Another hint: What's depicted doesn't matter, but the image does.



At least this puzzle is a real challenge, and not like the easy ones posted before :p

[Lena_P]

It's a square gif? It's 360000 pixels?

[NeatNit]

OK! I figured it out!!

And the answer is...

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!

You are insane.



NEXT!

[Dangeresque]

is the answer Muhahaha look at you all wasting your time trying to figure it out?

[thesporkman]

It's 600x600. It has 57 colors. It...

Gah! I don't know! There's nothing to solve! It's just a stupid picture of a safe!

[TomPravetz]

It's not so much that the picture is of a safe, but about the picture itself. (But the safe's a little bit of a hint.)

[GinnyN]

No, the cat is dead

[TomPravetz]

No, the cat is dead

No, the cake is a lie.

[Lena_P]

I want another hint. Like, what's the question?

[TomPravetz]

I got a riddle.

http://potentialwithin.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/banana-799094.jpg

What's the answer?

Answer: There is no answer! It's just a picture!

And why is Watson avoiding me?

[Lena_P]

He's a banana!

And that wasn't a clue. What do you mean avoiding you? Did you try contacting me or something?

[TomPravetz]

No. I just haven't seen you since I've been back on the forums. And you got the answer wrong.

[Neelo]

There is no answer. You lose.

[Didero]

Ok, another hint then! Klatuu was on the right track with this:
I haven't had a lot of time to analyze the image, but I'm guessing it involves some sort of steganography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography). Like, taking the last significant digits in the RGB value of each pixel starting in the upper right, and converting that to ASCII. (Except that exact formula doesn't seem to work.)

Or...something like that...
Though he's over-thinking it, it's not as complex as what he's trying.

[thesporkman]

Does the image contain some sort of watermark that's only visible by isolating certain colors?

[Didero]

Getting to the solution doesn't require any image editing software :)

[Lena_P]

The top right hand corner looks like it says "ininininininini"?

[Alcoremortis]

It's definitely safea. Or at least that's what the image title was when I downloaded it

[WarpSpeed]

Could be a metaphor for the traditional Telltale adventure game puzzles, which often involved solving three things before progressing to the next stage. Sam & Max even made fun of that "three" concept in 202.

Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. This is why goal setting is so important, because otherwise, you don't know what you're trying to do.

[doodinthemood]

I'm stuck on this -_-
I don't think we'll get it any time soon.
Unless someone randomly has a brainwave

[Neelo]

The answer is swordfish. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish)

I still have no idea what the question is.

[Didero]

Like Klatuu pointed out, there's something hidden in the image file. It's up to you guys to find out how and what. It doesn't require image editing software to find. There is no difficult math involved, or math of any kind.

[thesporkman]

The answer is 42.

[Strong Max]

Like Klatuu pointed out, there's something hidden in the image file. It's up to you guys to find out how and what. It doesn't require image editing software to find. There is no difficult math involved, or math of any kind.

I salute you Didero in this crusade against the obvious, but...it's just not happening. No one can even guess what the goal of the puzzle is. I understand that it might seem solvable to someone that knows the answer, but none of usunderstand yet.

[NeatNit]

Does it require hex editing software?
Does it require any software at all, or is it something in the picture that we need to solve?
Is the answer "shifdrows"?

[Gman5852]

lol I googled this puzzle and got a link right back here.

[Alcoremortis]

lol I googled this puzzle and got a link right back here.

It's recursion!

[flesk]

Is the answer 360000p^2x^2?

EDIT: I didn't read this post:

There is no difficult math involved, or math of any kind.

Never mind that then.

[Didero]

Does it require hex editing software?
Nope!
Does it require any software at all, or is it something in the picture that we need to solve?
You will require some other software, yeah.
Is the answer "shifdrows"?
Nope!

Fun puzzle, isn't it?
I'll give the rest of you a chance to solve it too. I'll post the solution tomorrow, for those that are still stumped.

[NeatNit]

I'll post the next one then!

Really easy.
There is a note. It reads:1. There is exactly one lie on this note.
2. There are exactly two lies on this note.
3. There are exactly three lies on this note.
4. There are exactly four lies on this note.
5. There are exactly five lies on this note.
6. There are exactly six lies on this note.
7. There are exactly seven lies on this note.
8. There are exactly eight lies on this note.
9. There are exactly nine lies on this note.
10. There are exactly ten lies on this note.
11. There are exactly 11 lies on this note.
12. There are exactly 12 lies on this note.
13. There are exactly 13 lies on this note.
14. There are exactly 14 lies on this note.
15. There are exactly 15 lies on this note.
16. There are exactly 16 lies on this note.
17. There are exactly 17 lies on this note.
18. There are exactly 18 lies on this note.
19. There are exactly 19 lies on this note.
20. There are exactly 20 lies on this note.How many of these are true, and which ones?

[prizna]

I'll post the next one then!

Really easy.
There is a note. It reads:How many of these are true, and which ones?

there are 2 that are true and they are number 1 and number 19

[Avistew]

there are 2 that are true and they are number 1 and number 19

Really? I would have said just number 19.

EDIT: so what, the safe thing was just about reposting the picture with text before and after it?

[NeatNit]

How is 1 true?

[prizna]

1 is true because the word lie appears in that paragraph once, I looked at it a different way:

The word lie appears once so there is 1 lie on the note, the word lies appears 19 times so there are 19 lies on the note

[Avistew]

Ah. You mean the word "lie". I just figured since they're mutually exclusive only one was true, and it had to be "number of sentences" - 1, that is 19.

[The Highway]

1 is true because the word lie appears in that paragraph once, I looked at it a different way:

The word lie appears once so there is 1 lie on the note, the word lies appears 19 times so there are 19 lies on the note

what difference does that make? its talking about the whole note!

also, 19 is true

[Avistew]

what difference does that make? its talking about the whole note!

It does make a difference if you interpret it to mean "the word "lie" appears once in this note" and "the word "lies" appears 19 times in this note". Which, to be fair, is the kind of "trick" that's common in riddles.

[The Highway]

It does make a difference if you interpret it to mean "the word "lie" appears once in this note" and "the word "lies" appears 19 times in this note". Which, to be fair, is the kind of "trick" that's common in riddles.

:rolleyes: of course! then 1 and 19 both work!

[prizna]

yay I kinda win

[NeatNit]

lol, I didn't think of that at all :)

[Gman5852]

ok so the 1 and 19 i guess is the answer
but i still dont get the safe puzzle all you had to do was repost it.

[NeatNit]

When you see the solution, you'll know how I won ;)

[alldogship]

When you see the solution, you'll know how I won ;)

I can see the answer but not how to open it properly.

[Harald B]

Hm, the answer presumably has to do with "beep.mid" then. That said I still can't seem to open it properly with either text editors or media players.

[RingmasterJ5]

Hm, the answer presumably has to do with "beep.mid" then. That said I still can't seem to open it properly with either text editors or media players.

You win! :D
Fun puzzle, isn't it?
I'll give the rest of you a chance to solve it too. I'll post the solution tomorrow, for those that are still stumped.

Comeon... It's tomorrow somewhere... What's the answer?

[Didero]

ANSWER TIME!
First, let me repeat the puzzle:
Can you figure out my riddle?

http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2143/safea.gif

(Post your findings and get one internet cookie)

The puzzle actually consists of two parts, though the first is apparently the most difficult since most of you didn't solve it :)

I'll do this the same way questions are answered in the Hints sections of the different games, with increasingly less vague hints, with the last one just being the answer. That way you can still solve it by yourself if you want :)
Part 1

What's depicted is not important, but the image file is.
The Wikipedia article on 'steganography' might give some hints. I'd link it here, but links show through spoiler tags.
There's something hidden inside the image file.
Searching the internet for 'hide data in image' or something similar will help you.
If you're still lost, just do this: If you have 7-zip installed, open the image with that. Otherwise, rename the file to 'safea.rar' and open it with your preferred archive opener. (I'm not entirely sure if it is a rar file, since I use 7-zip myself, which doesn't care about the extension. If '.rar' doesn't work, try '.zip'. Sorry) You should find a file inside. Halfway there!

Side info: The fact that there's a file hidden inside the image is the reason the image is low-quality. The hidden data is basically interference. That doesn't mean all low-quality images have a file hidden in them, but it can be an indication.
Part 2
Before you start this part, you should have everything you can get from the image (Namely, the famed "beep.mid" file). This part is probably easier than the previous one, but if you're still stuck, follow these hints:

What a strange sound. Though it does seem consistent...
Maybe a message is hidden in the beeps.
Now what signalling language consists of short and long beeps...?
Oh, I know! It's Morse code!
It's going rather fast though... There probably are plenty of ways to have it automatically translated. The next hint describes my way, if you're curious and/or still lost.
The way I solved it, which is most likely a pretty roundabout way of doing it, is like this: Audacity, a free audio editing application, can't handle MIDI files. Therefore, I needed to convert 'beep.mid' to something Audacity does understand. There are plenty of sites and programs that can convert it for you, Google helped me find one. I then opened the MP3 file the site created for me, in Audacity. The short and long beeps clearly show as peaks, with a clear distinction between short beeps and long beeps. I wrote the different beeps down, with dots for short and dashes for long beeps. I then found a 'Morse code to text' translating site and converted the Morse code to something readable.

That should lead you to the solution: "If you find this you rock".

I hope that helps people find the answer, and helps impatient people just get the answer :)
But if you find the answer on your own, you rock!

And for your patience with my silly puzzle, you all get internet cookies:

I don't think there are enough for everybody though, so you'll have to share. Except people who found the answer without (too many) hints ;)

[Lena_P]

...

I'm glad that your friend doesn't design Telltale's puzzles. It would never occur to me to unzip a file that doesn't seem to need unzipping, and the message uncovered at the end isn't much of a payoff :(

[Avistew]

I stopped caring a while back. Barely glanced at the solution. This sounds like an Ouverture Facile kind of thing, except on that website that's the kind of thing you expect.

Thanks for sharing, though, and sorry we didn't get it.

[Fink]

Ha ha!

I didn't think my puzzle (yes, now that I think about it, thats a better name for it) would cause so much trouble. :D
I'm his friend who came up with the puzzle.

If you want some more info, here is how I made it:
1st, I used free software to make the tone.

Morse Code (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/free-morse-code-software-send-receive-coded-radio-messages-computer/#more-45999)

Then, I hid the file in picture with help from this.

Hiding things in plain site (http://lifehacker.com/230915/geek-to-live--hide-data-in-files-with-easy-steganography-tools)

(Basically, if your on windows, you can make one really simple with this code "copy /B source.gif+source.zip target.gif" it just has to be a gif)

I felt hiding a text file would be too easy. I was going to add another layer, but I don't think that was needed now.
Thanks for playing all, and sorry for trouble :)

[The Highway]

I'm stealing all the cookies that Avistew and Lena P didn't take, and they only took one and split it, so, that leaves me with how many cookies?

...

I think it was ingenious. I hope that in Puzzle Agent there is one massive overarching puzzle (not just the storyline) that you have to solve certain puzzles to understand, thereby forcing you to complete as many puzzles as possible!

[doodinthemood]

Oh wow that was fiendish fink, well done :)

[NeatNit]

Side info: The fact that there's a file hidden inside the image is the reason the image is low-quality. The hidden data is basically interference. That doesn't mean all low-quality images have a file hidden in them, but it can be an indication.This is not true. The reason this picture is "low quality" is that dithering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither#Digital_photography_and_image_processing) was used to make it look better.
It could have been a flawless picture, if that's what the creator had chosen.





What comes next in the sequence:
R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,YMy guess is that R stands for Red, B stands for Blue, and Y stands for Yellow, but I have no idea where this is from.

[doodinthemood]

One of the highway's answers is correct and Neatnik is very close but made a little slip up.

[The Highway]

One of the highway's answers is correct and Neatnik is very close but made a little slip up.

Is the next one G?

[Avistew]

My guess is that R stands for Red, B stands for Blue, and Y stands for Yellow, but I have no idea where this is from.

I thought it was colours as well, but B could also be black. And I still have no idea what it all means.

Also, I didn't take any cookie at all, Highway.

[The Highway]

I thought it was colours as well, but B could also be black. And I still have no idea what it all means.

Also, I didn't take any cookie at all, Highway.

It was a puzzle! Theoretically!

Oh well, new try:

Say Avistew was watching her weight and took no cookies. And say Lena P definitely wasn't watching her weight and took ten. How many cookies does that leave The Highway?

[NeatNit]

originalnumberofcookies-11?

[flesk]

Is the next one G?

I thought of that too, but then it would have to be R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R, B,R,B,R,B,Y

[The Highway]

no, minus 10

[doodinthemood]

Whoops! Shoulda checked my knowledge really. Bamse and The Highway are correct.
So the pattern goes

R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,
R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,R,B,Y,G

If you solve it from now on, just give the next letter in the sequence, and so on. Someone else can give a new puzzle.

[prizna]

Fill in the blanks, both blanks must be the same word and the sentence must make sense

"My (blank) is (blank) than my wallet"

[The Highway]

Someone else can give a new puzzle.

There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

[prizna]

turn the 1st switch on for a long time, then turn it off and turn on the second switch, go upstairs, one light bulb will be warm/hot if you touch it, thats switch 1, the light still on is switch 2, the one off is switch 3

[The Highway]

Fill in the blanks, both blanks must be the same word and the sentence must make sense

"My (blank) is (blank) than my wallet"

My better is better than my wallet

In this sentence, the first better can be used to describe a person who places bets for the speaker. The second better is showing dominance.

It means that the one who places bets is better than the speaker's wallet because the limitations on the wallet stop the speaker from winning tons of money, and we can assume that the speaker just won a bet because of the "better".

It's a long shot, but I hope it fits.

Problem is, that's for incandescent bulbs, which aren't even sold anymore in some parts of the world :p

[The Highway]

No, ten.

If Lena P takes ten and Avistew takes 0, there are x-10 cookies left for me to munch down.

Yep Lighter is the answer :)

[Avistew]

My lighter is lighter than my wallet.

EDIT: Argh, too late!

No, ten.

If Lena P takes ten and Avistew takes 0, there are x-10 cookies left for me to munch down.No, 11.
If Lena P takes ten, Avistew takes 0, and NeatNit takes 1, there are x-11 cookies left for you to munch down.

And you'll have to eat them fast, I think I want another one.

Hint: 147

[Avistew]

I thought about stuff that have red and black (assuming that's what B is rather than blue or brown) and could think of roulette and a deck of cards, neither of which fits here.

Ah, in which case the next one is B.

More detailed spoiler:
But not the same B as before!

[doodinthemood]

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

With the lightswitch thing, you could have 5 bulbs and 5 switches:
Turn two switches on, leave them on for a long time
Keep flicking switch 5 on and off loads of times really fast for a long time
Turn switch 1 off and switch 3 on then go upstairs

1 - Off and hot
2 - On and hot
3 - On and not that hot
4 - Off and cold
5 - Broken

[NeatNit]

Just tell me the answer...

[StrongBrush1]

Here's a word puzzle:
A man named Jack was born in 1701. But he is still alive and perfectly healthy, with no signs of being elderly. How is this Possible?

[Harald B]

1701 is a city or postal code?

[Neelo]

He was born in hospital room 1701?

[GinnyN]

Or the sentence itself is from 1701 =P

[WarpSpeed]

A curse transformed him into a two-dimensional hieroglyph on a tomb wall, where characters stay alive and healthy for all eternity.

OR

He ran into the time elevator when a strange time-traveling band of mariachi birthday singers arrived to wish him happy birthday in the 1700s.

[Avistew]

If it's a date, it's using a different calendar?

[Lena_P]

I hate that light switch puzzle; it is so awkward that it doesn't even make sense. Why would you have light switches for a room floors down/down a long hallway from the room? How do you know the switches are for that room, but not for which light bulbs? Why would you assume that the switches and bulbs are all on different circuits in a 1:1 to each other?

If you said someone left three hoses tangled up all over a large garden you'd have the same puzzle only it'd be slightly more sensible. You could even say they were plugged in around the corner of a house or something. It's kind of a stupid peeve, I realize that, I just don't like overly-complicated or bizarrely situated puzzles.

[Avistew]

I totally agree with you, Lena, but I didn't dare rant about it.

[NeatNit]

I once saw a (pretty lame) video game that made a liiittle more sense out of the situation, but at the cost of making it even more stupid.

Instead of three bulbs, there was a traffic light - red, yellow, and green.
You were the guy in the booth behind the traffic light that controlled it (lol), but you don't know which button controls which light.
Also you have butter and there's a dog outside that will kill you if you get out of the booth more than once.

It's a quite well known "math" riddle here in Spain too.

There's another riddle with numbers from 1 to 9:

HINT: Well, I'm actually used to the Spanish version
5-4-2-9-... what's next?

5-2-8-9-... what's next?

[Avistew]

[Avistew]

I got frustrated and looked the answer and explanation up online. What was supposed to be French about it? The explanation I read was in English, and it made perfect sense to me.

The first time I told it on an English forum, people complained that it "didn't work in English". In French, numbers don't have plurals, therefore the first line is read "one one" but the second is read "two one" and so on, instead of "two ones". I was told the fact it didn't work the same in English prevented people from guessing the solution.
Since that was a complaint then, I hesitated posting it here.

If you say it works fine though, I'll trust you on that. It's hard to tell when you already know the solution.

[prizna]

Heres one:

AEFHIKLMN

I googled the hint, "147", and found that it was the top score in a kind of pool game. To get that score, you need to get the balls in the holes in a specific order, first a succession of all 15 red and black balls, alternating them, and then all the remaining colours.
I couldn't find anywhere stating if the remaining colours had to be in a specific order or not. I'm not even sure WHAT they are. But it looks like that's the answer.

Yeah, 147 is the highest score you can get in one break (basically, one go at the table) in snooker. Basic rules are that you must first pot a red, then a coloured ball and repeat that until all the reds (15 of them) have been potted. Then the coloured balls must be potted in order of points value (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink & black - points value 2 to 7 in that order).

[Avistew]

So... B and P would be the final two letters.
Thanks! A bit tricky considering I didn't even know that game before, but interesting puzzle.

[WarpSpeed]

That has a different solution. In that case, you just flip switches noticing what crashing noises result. Then the police come for you, and you blame the dog.

If I were to carry on to 1million lines, what would be the biggest digit on the millionth line? And why?

[Avistew]

... I have the gut feeling it wouldn't go over 3. But I couldn't explain why...

And haha, Javi-Wan, good one ^_^

[NeatNit]

9? I think?

The simplest way to check would be to actually do it (or make a small program to do it :P).

He was born in hospital room 1701?

You got it. Jack was born in Hospital Room 1701.

[StrongBrush1]

How about another?
Monkey challenged Snake to a Gunfight. Monkey was known to be very quick, but Snake was known to be deadly. Who won the fight?

[NeatNit]

Monkey because snakes don't have fingers to pull the trigger?


...or hands to hold the gun :)

[doodinthemood]

9? I think?

The simplest way to check would be to actually do it (or make a small program to do it :P).

Nyaha, if you get a program to do it, I will ask you another question: What is the biggest digit in the TWENTY-EIGHT-TRILLIONTH line... and so on, until your computer program breaks :D

[Harald B]

The biggest digit would still be 3. To get a 4, the previous line would have four of the same in a row, so if you split them in two's (because of the way it got generated) it's either like {.. ab bb bc ..} or {.. bb bb ..}. The first is impossible because it would be {.. [a+b]b bc ..} instead, the second because it would be {.. [2*b]b ..} instead.
(This assumes the "digits" don't use a decimal system per se and may have some minor issues. You can do a strict proof by using induction, but I'm not going to go to that length here.)

[StrongBrush1]

Monkey because snakes don't have fingers to pull the trigger?

Jeez.. People are solving mine too quickly.

[StrongBrush1]

OK, wiseguys, here's one more.
Anastasia and Bertha were sisters. Both were equal in terms of how they acted. Anastasia died on Land, and Bertha died at Sea. People were devastated when Anastasia died, but happy when Bertha died. Why is this?

"Anastasia and Bertha were nuclear bombs" sorta works, but I'll keep thinking. Other sort of... killy things... that are better to have at sea (whirlwinds etc.) seem to sorta work in the same way. Hmmm.

OK, wiseguys, here's one more.

Maybe they're storms.

that would fit. they always get female names.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

And they get names in alphabetical order, that also fits.
The first one died on land, causing much destruction on its (her?) way, while the second one died at sea, before arriving land, without causing destruction, so people is happy.

So People ARE happy. But I'll let it slide this one time. And Yes, you were right.

A boat is sinking in the middle of the sea, oh noez!

The sea is infested with sharks and the crew cannot swim and so on and so forth. Basically if they touch the water they're dead :p They have one lifeboat that can hold 5 people. It is a 4 minute round trip to the nearest island. The crew is made up of 15 people and the boat will have sunk in 10 minutes.

How many survive?

13. 5+4+4 (you need one person to get the lifeboat back every time).
