What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in an hour.

[Iyrland]

[cooperhillgirl]

LMAO!!!
NO....But good answer...
The Letter M

[cooperhillgirl]

Ok, I'm loseing my mind and it's never gonna stop snowing!!! So here's another riddle:


What is better than the best, more evil than demons, the poor have it and the rich need it, and if you eat it, you will die?

[djc33]

Hi Coop & Iyrland, Hope you had a great Christmas!

I knew the answer to Iyrlands first riddle because I saw it in a movie, I believe it was Die Hard 3.

I did not get the the letter M.

However, I know the answer to the most recent question that Coop has asked is "NOTHING".

Am I correct?

djc33

[cooperhillgirl]

Very Good djc33, you got it :D
Do you or anybody else have one?
The snow is getting deeper, I'm bored to tears!!!
I really like trivia, not good at it but like it anyway!!!

[crownvic]

Ok here's one..
A guy is traveling to Boston He approaches a T junction.
There is a sign that point's both direction's to Boston he is confused..But right at the junction is a House,In this house live 2 Identical twin's. One of the twin's tell's the truth and the other is nothing but a Liar.They both know the correct way to Boston and the guy traveling know's that one is a Liar and the other one tell's the truth.
So he is going to ask,Which is the correct way to Boston???
Now here's the Deal He can't talk to them both at the same time ..He as to talk to them individually..
How does he get the right answer???:D
Remember 1 tell's lies and the other tell's the truth..
He doesn't know which is which they are both twin's :D

[cooperhillgirl]

crownvic,
Good one!!!
If it's a real easy answer I'm gonna be mad at myself (I'm gonna be mad at myself aren't I :PT)
I give up :US

[JDahmer]

First ask one of them directions to the Bathroom. If you find the bathroom then you can find boston........(Can you ask more than one question)........

I'm assuming the guy just Drank a Big Gulp.......

[cooperhillgirl]

crownvic,
WAIT!!!!
baby cooper has an answer, she says to ask each of them if they are identical twins??? IS SHE RIGHT???

[crownvic]

:D yep coop she is right..But you can only ask one Question and not to both at the same time...

[crownvic]

The Question would be..
If I was to ask your brother which is the correct way to Boston What would his reply be???..
The Guy would then go the opposite way than both of their answer's.. That would be the correct Way to go..
Do you Get it??:D

[cooperhillgirl]

No, give me a minute I just walked back in...

Maybe baby cooper can explain it to me....

No, she doesn't get it either, she wants to know if your on crack??? LOL!!! :rolleyes: TEENS??? Gotta love em!!! :D

[crownvic]

If I was to ask your brother which is the correct way to Boston What would his reply be???..
The Guy would then go the opposite way than both of their answer's..
The brother who tell's Lies would tell a lie about his own brother who tell's the truth.
The brother who tell's the truth would tell the truth about his brother who tell's lies..
Therefore you would end up with the same answer and do an opposite to get the truth.:D
Have'nt even Drunk a beer Today LOL...
:D :D Vic..

I've got a few, that are not really mine. Can someone tell me were i'm getting them? (hint: a book)

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

[cooperhillgirl]

crownvic,
I get it, (kinda) sorry, I was thinkin that it was twin girls and wondering why you were talking about their brother who you hadn't mentioned before!!?? I'll be ok after a nap...

I love those books, must of read em a dozen times and most recently a few months back, so when riddles come up i thought of ole Bilbo.
The first answer was 'dark or darkness'

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

[Softballbat]

Alright MoeDaddy...Im dizzy trying to figure that one out....guess the IQ test score I got has to be adjusted!

[Softballbat]

Now thats funny....

[Iyrland]

cool post.. gotta admit....................keep em' coming......hehehehehe........

I related the arrows with the hour hand on a clock; V=6, >=3, etc.. Starting at the upper left I found that the sequence 6, 3,12,6,9,3 repeated clockwise in a spiral inward to the center.

I must say, these are some fine puzzles you're throwing out here. Keep up the good work!

[Softballbat]

Would it be 15.3 and neg 8

[Softballbat]

Are they fractional or whole numbers??

Name something that the more you take from it the bigger it gets?


3 guy check into a hotel. The cost of the room is 30 bucks so they spit it 10 dollars each. After they check into there room the bellboy comes to the door and say they made a mistake the room was only 25 dollars and gives them 5 dollars back. Each one of the guy's take 1 dollar appiece and tip the bell boy the remaining 2 dollars. Now each one of the 3 guys spent 9 dollars each on the room. 9x3=27 dollars plus the 2 dollars they gave the bellboy =29 dollars where did the other dollar go?...GL

[Softballbat]

Missing dollar is in the cost of the room....$8.33 per man

[Iyrland]

lets see who is worthy................


here goes....


each letter stands for a different digit in the cryptogram.........determine the value for each letter in this equation..........

S P E N D

___________
M O N E Y

[Softballbat]

SEND + MORE = MONEY
Each letter in the above equation stands for a different number, and each time the same letter appears, it is the same number. What is the only set of numbers that makes this equation correct?

[J-Hawk]

It's a mathamtic Anomaly...hehehe
or it went to Taxes.

BTW: There is no answer... :)

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!

Ok, I'm not sure because there are other letters not in it too, but this is just unusual, right?......
Is it that there is no letter "E" in the whole paragraph???

You are correct...the most used letter in the alphabet is the letter "E"

Heres another:

There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

[spyguy]

3 ? 7 ? 5 ? 4 ? 3 = ?

3 - 7 x 5 x 4 x 3 = -240
3 x 7 x 5 x 4 x 3 = 1260

The more you take from it, the more you get = a hole.

In a truely random sample, one could expect to encounter 5 unlisted #'s. SG

[spyguy]

Replace each question mark with a mathematical sign, (Plus, minus, multiply and divide) each sign can be used only ONCE.

Well, READ, read, reading the question will most likely lead to a more accurate answer than the one I've given:) Bear with me, I'm still "peckin" and haven't been able to come up with more than Biaboc has already offered. lol SG

[spyguy]

Okay,
I'm with Biaboc on the last one:):) I'm with stx at this time on the # question unless Biaboc would be gracious enough to display the work which accompanies the answers supplied. I now know why I don't regret having graduated college being forced to join the "real world" rather than hang out for another semester, or two, or three.lol SG

[spyguy]

I've found that it's always better to have the answer to a question before you ask it to better understand the individual you've asked:) Here's one for ya, SG

A company offered its 350 employees a bonus of $10 to each male and $8.15 to each female. All the females accepted, but a cetain percentage of the males refused to accept. The total bonus paid was not dependent upon the number of men employed.

What was the total amount paid to the women?

[fiddlerfingers]

;)spyguy you got it:) its a hole...GL

[spyguy]

So THAT'S what they meant by, "Multiply and Divide before Adding and Subtracting"? I thought they were referring to the NWO:)lol I asked my teacher in 3rd grade when this would ever be of use. NOW I know. SG

Hello Biaboc,

You are, of course, absolutely correct. I seemed to have proven once again the axiom connected to the word "assume" I assumed it to be a trick question. After all, using the laws of mathematics, in my mind anyway, made the equation too simple. I assumed MoeDaddy wanted the functions performed one step at a time.

Well done Biaboc!

[tpao]

Ok, the question I keep asking myself is...."Who developed the HU hack". Anyone that can answer that is a genius....

[spyguy]

tpao,
That's simple....NorthSat:)SG

[tpao]

Thats what I've always thought, I had quite a lengthly post on their chat fourm, confronting them with this. I think they had it cracked before they started offering Hu ID and ZKT's. It just seemed odd to me that they wanted Hu cards in exchange for the Hu ID's and not money. They wanted 15 Hu's for 1 ID. I figured they were going to milk that for all they could, stock up on Hu's, and then start selling them. That is just my theory, I am probably totally wrong. They never did reply to my post...

[Spelled~Wrong]

Anyone else have any? These are/were great...come on it's slow...Dave isn't doing anything real harsh....what do you have?

[junglemike]

i think they gave up on us , cause it is too quite , don't like it so quite
nice long thread Iyrland, u go girl

[Softballbat]

Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?

[J-Hawk]

Empty the 5 gal. into the 3 gal. jug. The 5 gal. Jug now has 2 Gallons in it.

Empty the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug.

Re-fill the 5 gal. jug and empty one gal. into the 3 gal. (which can now only hold one gal. more) and you now have 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

Yeah that was a good movie... *L*

[Spelled~Wrong]

Wasn't that Die Hard 3 also?

[Starr]

Really cause I know it's supposed to be a brain teaser and I figured it out in my head in less than 5 seconds which means I am wrong... Here it goes any way...3,5,60 and 2,15,30. I am sure there is probably something I am missing in this question that is suppposed to make it difficult. Go ahead, call me a dunce.

Starr xoxooxo

well i don't know if all the bs count's but if starr's #'s are the right #'s,i think the equation would reverse there position

, A, B, C, where A × B × C = 900, and A > B > C

3,5,60 and 2,15,30 wouldn't it be 60,5,3 and 30,15,2

i'm sure this is probably 2 typical wromg answer's,and that the a+b or a+c,is key too the solution.

but i'm no mathematician i got a d in calculus with no +

LOL

[Softballbat]

Is it 450 x 2 x 1

[stax]

Hello MoeDaddy,
I'm running short on time presently as I am traveling home. I have managed to find the 32 combinations of A*B*C=900...thanks for the clue...I have those combo’s, along with columns for A+B, A+C, and B entered into Excel.

Regardless of which number was given to Wadzru, since he couldn't answer the question his number must have shown up in those columns more that once.

This means, for example, that if the number that Wadzru was given represented "B", I may eliminate the numbers 6,5,18,20, and 25. These numbers are in my "B" column only once.

It will be Saturday before I will get a chance to get back here, so maybe someone can pick up where I leave off and solve this thing.

Do you play chess?

Originally posted by MoeDaddy

There is much more to it than just the finding all possible combinations (32 of them) of three different integers, the product of which is 900.

Keep tryin, it took me a while to figure this one out. :D I am sure some of our brighter pirates will figure it out much faster than I did. :)

BEING WRONG BUILD'S CHARACTER,AND I HAVE PLENTY CHARACTER.
DON'T YA THINK?


i think i might know someone who'd wish i took your advice here LOL AND spend my time trying to figure this out,maybe like a year or so,
LOL

JUST DON'T FORGET TO GIVE ME A RING SO I CAN LEAVE BEFORE THE DISASTER.

Yes moedaddy i figured it out in about 14 minutes. Alot of rechecking i had to do.

[stax]

Hello MoeDaddy,

First, I would give all Charon's friends a name. Let them be Tom, Rick, and Harry.

First question is to Tom:

:) [lightgreen]Would Rick be more inclined to lie to me than would Harry if I were to ask them both the exact same question?[/color]

If Tom's answer was NO, my second question would be to Harry, otherwise I would ask the question to Rick:

:) [lightgreen]Does one plus one equal two?[/color]

If Harry's answer was NO, my third question would go to Rick:

:) [lightgreen]Is Tom the lunatic one?[/color]

I can now get on the boat and pay a visit in Purgatory. :D

1. While tracking a thief who had stolen a set of Gold Dragon eggs across the Dragon Breath Plain, Aardwolf stopped in a tavern in the town of Sdrac, hoping to find the thief. When questioning some rogues who were gambling in a back room, a tough looking character laughed, and carved some words into the table with his dagger:

shovel infield bosom

contaminant mutt enthalpy bludgeon chemise overlap

He then looked at Aardwolf, and said: "If you can tell me which word from the bottom row belongs with the words on the top row, I will tell you which way your 'friend' went, after he lost a pound of gold coins to me. You get only one guess, and if you are wrong, you will give me your boots, or your life...."

Not wanting to travel on bare feet, Aardwolf thought hard, and when he answered, the challenger ceased to smile, and pointed the hero in the right direction. What is the answer to this strange conundrum?

[Cyounger]

Softballbat, its got to be bludgeon to match the spade, diamond, and heart! :D

[Softballbat]

Very Good ! ! !

[Phantazm]

I wish I could take credit for this one, but I can not. It's from a "mailing list" I receive. I've had some pretty good ones before, but I particularly liked this one. I fyou're read the answer please don't spoil it for the rest of 'em that are actually trying to figure it out.

--

The local spy club has a special code, which allows members into the specially hidden venue. When the spy turns up he utters a random number into the speaker, say 11, the speaker replies 6, to which the spy answers 3. This special sequence allows the spy in. A foreign spy discovered the location of the club but he didn't have access to the special code. During the evening he took note of the codes used by the spies who gained access with the following results:

1, 3, 5;
27, 11, 6;
9, 4, 4.

The spy thought he had cracked the code and bravely uttered 16 into the speaker. The speaker replied 7. What was the spy's final answer?

[Softballbat]

Why does he aanswer 5....? Man Im supid!...LL

[Softballbat]

I see said the blind man!
