I hate to inform you of this but, you are wrong. |

| @lupa, this was never about solving the riddle(hoping that by problem you meant the riddle) , I simply posted it for fun.(Wordplay) Of course they both weigh the same.(Same Mass, Pounds is a unit of mass) El-Psy_Congroo said: Lol I know xD Just want to make sure I got the question correct. :3 |
| Pounds is a unit of weight, kilograms is a unit of mass... |

Leafz_Soul said: Pounds is a unit of weight, kilograms is a unit of mass... I didn't say SI unit. KG is the SI unit. Pound is just another unit of mass used in US. |

| The concept of pounds was unknown to me, I assumed it was some dumb American way to measure weight, anyway, I did some research on what it actually is. It looks like one pound of gold is measured differently from other materials, so the feathers would weigh more. ... Then again, that's not really a "riddle", it's more like a general knowledge question. |

Pounds in America =mass * acceleration due to gravity. I just finished a physics class like two months ago :/ |

| What is this then? Pound(mass) Pound(force) is Pound(mass)*g |
| I'm not really interested in offering riddles, so have an easy one: A cowboy visits an inn on Sunday. He spends two days there, and leaves on Sunday. How is that possible? |
|
| ^we only used pounds for weights, I was told by all my teachers that pounds doesn't equal mass but weight |
|
| Unfortunately you guys are all wrong. The pound of feathers weighs more because, imagine what you did to those poor birds... |

| Bob and Fred are both construction workers who met each other at the bar after work. A strange man walked in and sat at table 1, while Bob and Fred sat at table 4. Bob and Fred attempted to guess what sort of job he had, after which they gave up upon until Bob decided to sit on table 1 opposite of the stranger. Bob asked "If you don't mind me asking, what is your job?". The man said, "I am simply a logical scientist". Not truly understanding he asked "What is that"? The man then said "Let me explain, do you have a gold fish?" Bob: Yes, I do Man: Well then it's logical to assume that you keep it in a pond or bowl, which is it? Bob: I keep it in a pond Man: Then it's logical to assume that you have a large garden, and in turn a large house. Bob: Yes I have a 6 bedroom house which I built myself Man: Given that you have such a large house, it's logical to assume that you are married Bob: Yes, I'm married and we have three children Man: Then it's logical to assume that you have a healthy sex life Bob: Five nights a week! Man: Therefore it's logical to assume you don't masturbate often Bob: Nope, never! Man: Well there you go, from finding out that you have a gold fish, I figured out the size of your garden, house, family and sex life. That is the logical scientist at work! Bob: Wow gee, I never knew Bob then left and returned to table 4 where Fred was sitting. Fred: Did you find out what his job was? Bob: Yea, he's a logical scientist, let me explain. Do you have a goldfish at home? Fred: No. Bob: _______________ What was the "logical assumption" that Bob made? |
|
| That Fred masturbates often? |
|
| Bon assumed he lived in a small house |
|
lupadim said: That was totally gonna be my first answer but I decided that I wouldn't go there :PThat Fred masturbates often? |
|
| Sorry my bad, was busy studying for a test, but yes, lupadim is correct. |
|
| 1 = 15145 2 = 202315 And so on. Find 10 |
|
| I thought about this for a while, came up with many patterns, but I couldn't eliminate the possibilities. Can you post another number ? For all I know this could be AP. |
| Eh, sure. 5 = 69225 |
|
| Well the solution is: Assuming that A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on. 1 = O N E O = 15, N = 14, E = 5, thus 15145 The same goes for the other numbers I listed. You'd use that logic for 10. |
|
| Boooooooo Darn I was gonna try and tackle it as well. Well whoever does the next riddle, prepare for your destruction! |
| I've been here way too long... |
| @lupa good one :) So now what ? Who should post the question ? |
| I'll post one if noone else minds, its pretty simple and I came up with it myself so its still not perfect. "What can you walk towards but never reach, sail towards but never breach and never become wiser than?" |
| I've been here way too long... |
| Ohh.. I was only thinking of numbers, so I would have never quessed it ^^ TheConquerer said: Eehmm.. for the first 2 it could be "the horizon", but to never be wiser than the horizon sounds wierd :/ - But is it the horizon?"What can you walk towards but never reach, sail towards but never breach and never become wiser than?" |
| Yeah you won! Cause you can broaden your horizons but you can't cross over them :D |

| Hmm lemme think of a riddle I heard once "Whats the one place in the world where you can walk 10 miles South, then go 10 miles East and then 10 miles North and end up where you were?" If you've heard it before maybe let others have a shot |
| I've been here way too long... |
| Isn't it my turn to do a riddle or nah? |
|
| Sorry I didnt think you were interested |
| I've been here way too long... |
| It's cool. We can roll with yours. Just didn't know if the person who posted the riddle had to "confirm" lol. |
|
TheConquerer said: "Whats the one place in the world where you can walk 10 miles South, then go 10 miles East and then 10 miles North and end up where you were?" This question has infinite number of places he could start from. If you have figured out the simple solution, try to find the infinite solutions. :) |

| I've been here way too long... |
| Hint: |
El-Psy_Congroo said: Hint: Sorry I dont really know what you're getting to |
| I've been here way too long... |
| @Conq, you're not the only one who's playing this game, so I don't want to reveal the answer right now. :) If you want I can pm the answer? |

| Is it the North pole? |

MaiTai said: Well, technically you do. But if you are fairly certain that your answer is correct you may break the rules just a little and post a new riddle right away ^^It's cool. We can roll with yours. Just didn't know if the person who posted the riddle had to "confirm" lol. |
Suzune-chan said: Is it the North pole? Yup go ahead and post a new riddle if youre interested! Although Congroo showed me that theres an alternative solution so props to him ;D |
| I've been here way too long... |
| Wait who is posting? |
Where there is no imagination there is no horror. || Arthur Conan Doyle || Happy Halloween! |
| First come first serve |
| I've been here way too long... |
| @El-Psy_Congroo - What was the alternate solution? |
You will be what you will to be. |
| o.O |
You will be what you will to be. |
| @Zymf I think it would be better if there are 2 questions to solve at a time, because when people are stuck solving one question, the second question will keep the thread active. What do you say? |
El-Psy_Congroo said: Maybe.. or it could even more than 2 questions to solve at a time. - I just don't want people to spam the thread with new questions and not even try to solve the old ones :/@Zymf I think it would be better if there are 2 questions to solve at a time, because when people are stuck solving one question, the second question will keep the thread active. What do you say? For now I will keep the rules as they are, but any opinions/ideas are welcome :D Time to post a new riddle :D! Sitting at a square table are a smuggler, a mafia boss, a bootlegger and a contract killer. Only two of these men, Mama and Kalia, are genuine criminals. The other two are CID officers posing as criminals. Mama is sitting opposite the Mafia boss; the junior CID officer is sitting to the left of the smuggler and the senior CID officer is sitting opposite the bootlegger. If the senior officer is not playing the role of a smuggler what is the junior officer disguised as ? |
