| Beulah was a band and "died" means that they disbanded? And Craig is actor and his personage in some movie died at sea but he himself is still alive irl? Ehh... So better a disbanded group than a dead person, that's why? Well first part I am not sure of o.o; but the end is more possible... It might be that Beulah stands for smth else, ehhhhh same for Craig ^^; but in the end I will leave my answer as: Cuz Craig isn't actually dead |
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious |
| Yeah, greenwillow's thoughts are a great help! I think they are both typhoons.. Beulah i.e. the typhoon died in Appalachians i.e. the mountains where huge destruction was caused whereas Craig i.e. the other typhoon's death happened in a sea; so no destruction was caused. That's why citizens were 'much' happier with Craig's death. Am I correct? |

| This is an attempt to solve problem 2. Lets order them by ages using 1-5 (5 being oldest) 5 Pirates remain 5 will propose 97 gold coins for himself and 1 for each of the other 4 (except 1). Therefore they will throw him overboard. 4 Pirates remain 4 will propose the that he gets 98 gold, 3 gets 1, 2 gets 1 and 1 gets 0. Because the pirates are aware that if they throw 4 overboard only 3 pirates will remain and only 2 with voting power. In that situation, 1 will receive all the gold, therefore 3 and 2 will accept the proposal. At the end of the day: 5 gets 0 4 gets 98 3 gets 1 2 gets 1 1 gets 0 |
 |
| You are on the right track, but the answer's wrong. Hint: All pirates will live. |
You will be what you will to be. |
| Whoops - I misread the 50% thing. In my first post it should have been 1 getting 1 gold and 2 getting 0, 3 getting 1 and 4 getting 98. If all pirates live, then: Pirate 5 will split it such that at least 2 will vote for him. He foresees the event I mentioned above and proposes that he gets 97 gold. Because in the situation that 5 will be overthrown like stated above, 1 will get 1, therefore he is happy with 2. Now this leads to pirate 4 getting 0 because he will deny the proposal unless the value is greater than 98. Therefore, for Pirate 5 to live, pirate 3 will receive 1 gold as pirate 2 will always deny in order to get 100 gold. At the end of the day: 5 gets 97 4 gets 0 3 gets 1 2 gets 0 1 gets 2 |

| Here's a riddle. A doctor in a top-secret research lab has had an impressive breakthrough in medical research. The doctor creates tablets which increase the rate of an human's regeneration speed immensely, enough such that losing both your legs you would survive if you swallowed the tablets. The doctor created 2 tablets, which are coloured red and green, for the tablets to work correctly you must swallow 1 red and 1 green tablet, taking only 1 tablet will have no effect, taking 2 of the same tablets (or more) will kill you in under 1 minute. The doctor, tells you to take the tablets to the reproduction facility. He gives you 2 red tablets and 2 green tablets and says to you, they're for insurance in case for whatever reason you lose one. Soon after leaving the lab, terrorists strike, instantly killing your guards and immediately start raiding the lab. They rush past you, not knowing that you were carrying the tablets. In the attack, one of your arm goes numb from a bullet, and both your eyes are cut out from the broken glass. Having one arm left you open the case carrying the tablets, but you cannot see which one is which color, how do you ensure that you can survive by swallowing 1 red tablet and 1 green tablet? |
|
| Is it possible to split the tablets in half? |
 |
| Yes |
|
| Well then, split every tablet in half and swallow half of each tablet. |
|
| Yep that is correct! Sorry for late reply I was busy. |
|
| No problem ^^ Here's the new one, an easy one: A man went to a city on the train with a gun in his suitcase. When he was there, he went to the hospital for an eye surgery. When he went back, the train drove through a tunnel. The man took out the gun and committed suicide. Why? |
|
| ^He thought he was blind again and committed suicide? |
| That's right! Your turn ^^ |

| Clearly, my timing sucks! >.< |
| Einstein's riddle: The situation - There are 5 houses in five different colors. -In each house lives a person with a different nationality. -These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet. -No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage. The question is: Who owns the fish? Given : the Brit lives in the red house the Swede keeps dogs as pets the Dane drinks tea the green house is on the left of the white house the green house's owner drinks coffee the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill the man living in the center house drinks milk the Norwegian lives in the first house the man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer the German smokes Prince the Norwegian lives next to the blue house the man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water |
| The norwegian has the fish. I can't paste it here but: In order of 1st to last Norwegian - Fish Dane - Horses Brit - Bird Swede - Dog German - Cat |
|
Bombolz said: The norwegian has the fish. I can't paste it here but: In order of 1st to last Norwegian - Fish Dane - Horses Brit - Bird Swede - Dog German - Cat Wrong, but close. Check your solution again. :) |
| Oh, I once solved this riddle but I've forgotten the solution and to lazy to solve it again... But I can help you guys by explaining my method to obtain the solution: ... I also tried using math (x equations with x unknowns) but it didn't really work :P |
| This was harder than I thought -_- I ended up making a chart like zymf said and trying possible combinations, here it is if anyone's interested: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cPm1DlYyxvQyxCTaNoUVl-38JYDd6TNMOe6jkZGiOq4/edit?usp=sharing So yeah, answer is the German, he has the fish |
| @grave, you're right. :) |
Bombolz said: El-Psy_Congroo said: @grave, you're right. :) Noice one! But seriously, the german should have gotten the dog -.- Why? German shepherd obviously. I did that at first, giving them things based on stereotypes or "Secret" connections. but it wasn't right XD =================== Nice one Psy! ^^ |
Bombolz said: El-Psy_Congroo said: @grave, you're right. :) Noice one! But seriously, the german should have gotten the dog -.- Why? German shepherd obviously.

| Puzzle A group of 100 soldiers suffered the following injuries in a battle: 70 soldiers lost an eye, 75 lost an ear, 85 lost a leg, and 80 lost an arm. What is the minimum number of soldiers who must have lost all 4? |
Edit: In my above answer I made an assumption that Soldiers can't lose more than 1 same organ. Another solution if soldiers can lose 2 same organs. |
El-Psy_CongrooAug 22, 2015 12:29 AM
| 35.7 so 36? |
|
| 10? |

Leafz_Soul said: 10? You are correct ^^ Click here for detailed discussion of this puzzle (I recommend this post if you don't like numbers) It is now your turn to post another puzzle Leafz_Soul =================== @El-Psy_Congroo, no need to assume repetition of each organ lost, since the question is how many lost 1 of each of the organs mentioned (an eye, a leg, an arm and an ear) totaling in a loss of 4 parts of their bodies. |
| Question: Does a pound of gold or a pound of feathers weight more? (I just wanted to awnser the last riddle, so I posted an easy one.) |
|
| ^Please answer the following questions. :3 1. Can I assume that the objects you mentioned are in Earth ?If not where is it? 2. Is the gravitational force constant throughout the area where the objects are placed? 3. In your question, by "weight more" what do you mean, do you want to compare the Mass or the Weight of the objects? |
Mkim said: Lol I know xDThere's just this small chance that you sir, is reading too much into this. Just want to make sure I got the question correct. :3 |

A pound of gold would weight differently in moon or in a place where there is a different gravitational force Weight is not the same everywhere, change in acceleration due to gravity changes the weight. 'g' is not constant everywhere. I was indicating the scenario where objects are at different places, one at moon or a place with different 'g', another at earth. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear.(Question 2 of my post) Lol Please don't mind me, it was a simple question, so thought of complicating it. |

I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear.(Question 2 of my post) The question specifically states "one pound of gold" and "one pound of feathers". It weighs exactly the same: one pound. If the gold is at Earth and the feathers are at the moon, then there are simply way more feathers than there would have been in Earth. There is no way to complicate this. Once the weight is set to X, you can't simply say "Oh but in another dimension maybe it's Y??" |

Weight is the force on the object due to gravity. Mass is a measure of how much matter something contains. |
Leafz_Soul said: Question: Does a pound of gold or a pound of feathers weight more? (I just wanted to awnser the last riddle, so I posted an easy one.) Here, he used which "weight more", so thought of wordplay, using Weight(Force). Don't get confused by me. Maybe if he had asked which is heavier, I wouldn't have thought of this scenario. :) |

Yes, weight changes, but the riddle states that we are analyzing one pound of gold and one pound of feathers. If you transport them to the moon, they will weight the same. They will always weight the same no matter where you taken them unless the gold or the feathers were under a different gravitational field from the start of the riddle, which is not stated. |

They will always weight the same no matter where you taken them unless the gold or the feathers were under a different gravitational field from the start of the riddle, which is not stated. Let's say your mass is 50kg here, you will have a Weight=50*9.8(N) But when you go to moon your mass doesn't change, but you will have a Weight=50*9.8/6(N). Weight of the object changes, not the Mass. They weigh the same but don't have same Weight(Force), if that makes it clearer? See my previous posts, from the beginning I differentiated Mass and Weight. So whenever I mentioned Weight it implies the Force. Please understand that I used a wordplay here. |
El-Psy_CongrooAug 22, 2015 3:53 PM
| Ok, so for all of you confused. 1) this is on earth 2) we are talking about weight not mass 3) which one is heavier(clears up the whole weights more confusion) |
