Thus, you exert far less normal power than the truck. that doesn't matter, physics just DOESN'T work that way... First of all, the according to the solution, the truck's weight before crossing the bridge is such that the addition of ANY weight, no matter how small in any form will cause the bridge to collapse. I was using a person carrying weight as an exaggerated extrapolation of your argument Secondly, normal forces simply cannot 'cancel' out weight. When the bird lands on the truck, it exerts a downwards force on the truck due to its weight. The truck exerts the normal force on the bird upwards. Notice that since the normal force acts on the bird, it does not magically make the truck any lighter. The truck itself exerts a net downward force on the bridge equal to its weight and the bird's weight, which is greater than the force the truck alone would have exerted. Please trust me on this, if not, then look it up or something XD Read the part on real-world applications. wiki =/= reliable source all it says is that upwards acceleration can be used to recreate freefall condition. Where in the problem is there any vertical acceleration? |

| okay, new riddle tiem. :D I live on the fourteenth floor of my apartment building, so I take the elevator to go up and down as I come and go. When I leave my apartment, I take the elevator all the way down. When I go back up, it works a little differently. If it's raining outside or if I'm not alone in the elevator, I go up to the fourteenth floor. If, however, neither one of these conditions are met, I only go up to the tenth floor, and take the stairs the rest of the way. Why don't I go all the way up? |

I heard a variation of this one....so i don't really know if this is the answer... because you're too small to reach the 14th floor button?? Hmmmm.... |
     |
| indeed. :P I'm a little kid, too short to reach the button. If its raining, I have an umbrella, so I use it to push the button, and if I'm not alone, I ask someone else to push it for me. On a side note, I can't believe I randomly saw your answer fifty four seconds after you posted it. Thats... creepy. :P |
|
| that was fast... your turn, DeathKaiserG |

| okay, I'll do one. It's a who-dun-it a man is found dead in bed with a pair of scissors nearby. There are no puncture wounds or cut marks on the man's body. How did he die? you may ask yes or no questions in order to narrow down the possibilities |

| Hmmmm....half of my answers is irrelevant and half of my answers is a no "This is one tough cookie" Is there any wounds other than a puncture wound or cut marks??? Is He Fat?? Ok...That's all for today, maybe i'll get some clues later 8D |

| 1.Are scissors connected somehow to his death? 2.Did his heart stop maybe (I mean as the cause)? |

No note: for those of you who don't know the format of this type of puzzle, the given information is insufficient to come up with the answer. That's why you have to ask yes or no questions to gather more information ganbatte |
|
| Was something cut off from his body, like hair? And do we have to guess who killed him or how did he die? And it wasn't a suicide, was it? |

natsuki-chan-bg said: Was something cut off from his body, like hair? And do we have to guess who killed him or how did he die? And it wasn't a suicide, was it? 1)no 2)how did he die (usually it has to be a yes or no ?, but this one was more general) 3)not suicide |
|
| He was lying in an hospital bed, surviving with the help of an IV. Someone had used the scissors to cut the IV line, resulting in his death. Am I correct? |

Did the scissors play an indirect or direct part in the process of killing him? Is the question trick questiony or logical? |
| Is there anyone else involved? |
 |
| Llama_Guy- what do you mean by direct/indirect? It's logical if you ask the right yes/no questions Gurenn- yes |
|
| Was he killed for revenge? |
| //“The third time is for what will be. The way back will come but once. Be steadfast.” |
natsuki-chan-bg said: Was he killed for revenge? irrelevant |
|
| Is the scissors has been used for cutting a rope that is tied to an item??? |
| |
DeathkaiserG said: Is the scissors has been used for cutting a rope that is tied to an item??? no |
|
| Has he been killed by some gas or something like that? |
| //“The third time is for what will be. The way back will come but once. Be steadfast.” |
natsuki-chan-bg said: Has he been killed by some gas or something like that? nope |
|
| Was he killed by an object or a person? (that is, did an object do something to him that made him die, or did a person directly do something to him?) |
Llama_Guy said: Was he killed by an object or a person? (that is, did an object do something to him that made him die, or did a person directly do something to him?) killed by a person |
|
| Did the killer kill the man with the scissors themselves in some way, or did he sue them to cut something else that made the man die? |
Llama_Guy said: Did the killer kill the man with the scissors themselves in some way, or did he sue them to cut something else that made the man die? he didn't 'sue' the scissors =P anyways, the scissors were used to cut something else that made the man die |
|
| I make that mistake too many times... That something else, was it heavy? |
Llama_Guy said: I make that mistake too many times... That something else, was it heavy? what's 'heavy'? |
|
| Heavy as in 'does it weigh a lot?' |
Llama_Guy said: Heavy as in 'does it weigh a lot?' i guess i should clarify more. I can't really say yes or no to your question. Try: Is it heavier than [insert object here]? |
|
| cmon you guys, don't give up XD |
|
| Ah well, I like this kind of riddles, but it's a bit hard to solve them over the internet. I'm guessing that we have to ask a lot of questions, so it's not so easy to guess it like this ;D So.... maybe a hint then ;)? |

|
| A man is found dead in bed with a pair of scissors nearby. There are no wounds on the man's body. The man didn't have any health problems. Nothing was cut off his body and it wasn't suicide. The scissors were used by a person to cut something that made the man die, but not a rope tied to an item. The bed is the key. How did he die? This should make it easier. |

This should make it easier. Good recapitulation :D Ok so he didn't die from some gas, he wasn't poisoned, and he wasn't cut/pierced by scissors, but something else was cut. (that's just me thinking out loud XD) Maybe he was suffocated somehow? It's easier to think of the way how he died, and then connect it to the scissors, cause it is very confusing to think only about scissors....and the bed.... Also, was the bed normal, or maybe damaged somehow? And is the way that he was lying somehow relevant or no? |

| Is the bed a water bed? |

We're getting closer to the answer XD YES he was suffocated NO the bed is not a 'normal bed' YES the bed was damaged the way he is lying is irrelevant |

onyx02 said: Is the bed a water bed? YES the bed is a water bed ^.^ |
|
| Here goes nothing. The man died by suffocation due to the water bed being punctured (or cut open) by the scissors. causing him to suffocate on ether the water or the bed.( maybe the bed shifted some how as the water came out suffocating him) sorry of the incoherent-ness of my post. |
