A detective found a dead man sitting at his desk with a gun in his hand, and a tape recorder was on his desk...the detective came in and picked up the tape recorder and pressed the play button...he heard "i am sick of my life. i have no purpose to live" and then a gunshot.

the detective instantly knew it was murder, not suicide. how?

What's bought by the yard and worn by the foot?

The answer is so obvious: There is no answer!!

It just occurred to me in those flashes of brilliance that come upon me in times of great stress. Try as i might i could not figure out the answer until it ht me. The physical impossibilities of buying something at a yard and wearing it on the foot are so apparent. Yards are places where ships are built. A human cannot physically wear a ship, hence no answer.

I settled back in my chair, a grin of satisfaction planted firmly on my face. A feeling of weightlessness came upon me as i felt the burden of dissatisfaction at not knowing the answer lift off me.

After a moment of reflecting on my newly discovered genius, i proceeded to type the answer on LGM, my glee no less diminished at the thought of Sjpon's shocked face when he realized i had solved his riddle.

;D

Sjon, realizing i had solved his riddle, slowly reached behind his desk for his gun. I stood, calmly, staring him down. All of a sudden he whipped around, pointing the pistol at me point-blank. He squeezed the trigger... <click, click>

I slowly reached into my pocket and pulled out the magazine cartridge. He stared at me, hate filling his eyes. I smiled and tossed the cartridge out the window. I turned and walked away from him. There was no more to be said or done, he had been defeated in his quest to destroy the world with his difficult riddles.

This part of the test involves numbers. You're the driver of a bus. You stop on a corner and pick up 3 people. At the second stop 2 people get off and 5 people get on. At the next stop 7 people get on and 4 people get off. At the fourth stop, 7 people get on and 6 people get off. Finally, at the last stop, 3 people get on and 5 people get off.

There are these exactly identical twins. One always tells the truth, the other always tells a lie. Each one is guarding a door- one to hell, the other to heaven. You are allowed to ask each twin one question. What should you ask?? oh yeah, they know which door they are guarding.

Ask one of them if they are a twin. If they say, "yes", that's the one that's telling the truth.

Ask the other one if they are guarding the door to Hell:

b. If they, 'yes', it's really, 'no'.

Ask both of them if they are a twin. The one that says no is the liar. You then can talk with the one that said yes to give you the correct door.

Post by: Doubles22 on June 09, 2008, 01:11:05 PM
This way doesn't work because you don't know which twin is lying.

Yes it does.  Check it out.

Let's say that Twin A is the lying twin guarding the Heaven door.  Twin B is the truth twin guarding the Hell door.  But you don't know this.

Here's the coversation.

Doubles: Say, Twin A, if I go ask your boy over there which one of these doors leads to heaven, which one will he say is the Heaven door?

Twin A (who always lies): He'll tell you that his door is the Heaven door.

So you go to Twin A's  door to heaven.  Why?  You didn't ask Twin A which door was right.  You asked him what the other would say.  Since Twin A always lies, he'll lie about what Twin B would say.  His statement of "He'll tell you that his door is the Heaven door." is the lie.

Flip the script.

Doubles: Say Twin B, if I go ask your boy over there which one of these doors leads to Heaven, which one will he say is the Heaven door.

Twin B (who always tells the truth): He'll say that my door is the Heaven door.

Twin B is now truthfully stating that Twin A will lie about which door is the Heaven door.  So you go to Twin A's  door to Heaven.
Title: Re: Can You Solve This Riddle?

Twin B is now truthfully stating that Twin A will lie about which door is the Heaven door.  So you go to Twin A's  door to Heaven.

You're assuming that you know which door each twin is guarding AND which twin is lying. Switch doors and use your scenario and see what happens.

Ask one of them if they are a twin. If they say, "yes", that's the one that's telling the truth.

Ask the other one if they are guarding the door to Hell:

a. If they say, 'no', it's really, 'yes'.

b. If they, 'yes', it's really, 'no'.

The key of the riddle is to establish which one you can trust to give you the right door.

The riddle says you can ask each twin a question. It doesn't matter if it is the same question. My understanding was there is one thing you KNOW for certain. They are twins and that ONE always lies and ONE always tells the truth.

Actually, that's TWO things:

a. I know they're twins
b. I know that one lies and one tells the truth.


That's why my asking one of them if they are twins works. It forces the truth or lie from one of them, then you ask the other one about the doors.

Too easy.  Watch this.


Let's say that Twin A is the lying twin guarding the Hell door.  Twin B is the truth twin guarding the Heaven door.  We'll assume we don't know who's the liar or what door they are guarding. 

Here's the coversation.

Doubles: "Say, Twin A, if I go ask your boy over there which one of these doors leads to heaven, which one will he say is the Heaven door?"

Twin A (who always lies): "He'll tell you that my door is the Heaven door. (This statement is a lie because the truth-telling Twin B wouldn't say this.)

So you go to Twin B's  door to heaven.  Why?  You didn't ask Twin A which door was right.  You asked him what the other would say.  Since Twin A always lies, he'll lie about what Twin B would say.  His statement of "He'll tell you that my door is the Heaven door." is the lie.

Flip the script.

Doubles: Say Twin B, if I go ask your boy over there which one of these doors leads to Heaven, which one will he say is the Heaven door.

Twin B (who always tells the truth): "He'll lie to you and say that his door is the Heaven door." (Twin B is telling the truth about what Twin A would say...and we all know Twin A is going to lie.)

Twin B is now truthfully stating that Twin A will lie about which door is the Heaven door.  So you go to Twin B's  door to Heaven.

Since, it's just me and you in this: You HAVE to get rid of the first sentence. Until you do that, we'll keep going round and round.

You ONLY know:

a. They're twins
b. One lies and one tells the truth.
c. Each twin knows which door they're guarding.

THAT'S. IT.


Anything else, and one is trying to make their argument based on something that's NOT in the original scenario.

That's all I'm saying.  8)

The deaf mute writes a note in the sand/dirt and has the blind man feel the letters (or follow the shapes).

Post by: Fenix on June 09, 2008, 01:50:04 PM
OK i have been looking at this argument and Sjon's way is EASIER.

Since you know that one lies and the other tells the truth, you ask

Are you twins? The answer identifi3es immediately who the liar is. The truth-teller tells you that they are. Therefore you know the other one is a liar and you ignore him. On the flipside, if you ask the liar if they are twins, he will obviously say no. In that case you will also ignore him as he has identified himself as the liar.

Doubles' way is no less wrong. But its a roundabout way of getting to the same answer.

Since, it's just me and you in this: You HAVE to get rid of the first sentence. Until you do that, we'll keep going round and round.

You ONLY know:

a. They're twins
b. One lies and one tells the truth.
c. Each twin knows which door they're guarding.

THAT'S. IT.


Anything else, and one is trying to make their argument based on something that's NOT in the original scenario.

That's all I'm saying.  8)

I see what you're saying.  Try it this way...



Let's say that we haveTwin A and Twin B.  We'll assume we don't know who's the liar or what door they are guarding. 

Here's the coversation.

Doubles: "Say, Twin A, if I go ask your boy over there which one of these doors leads to heaven, which one will he say is the Heaven door?"

Twin A: "He'll tell you that my door is the Heaven door.

1. If he's the lying twin, he's lying about what Twin B would say because Twin B would tell the truth and say his own door was the Heaven door. 
2. If he's the truthful twin, he's truthfully stating that Twin B will lie by saying that his own door is the Heaven door. 

Therefore, which ever door is stated, go to the opposite door.

Doing it that way doesn't tell me who the liar is, chief.  ;)

The deaf mute writes a note in the sand/dirt and has the blind man feel the letters (or follow the shapes).

I don't see any discord. Was joking : )

Sorry this is a classic.  You look into the mirror to see what you "saw". You saw the table into 2 halves. Put the halves together to make a whole (hole). Climb out of the hole to escape.

Then no need even worrying about the doors if that's the only objective.

Ask each one if they're twins.  Whoever says "no" is the liar.  Game over and walk away.

Bruh, you're in the military. There are missions that have more than one objective, right? If that be so, then the same is true here.

Objective A: Determine the Liar

Nope.

The Answer: The deaf man kills the blind man, who goes to the after-life and sees the dead father. Then the deaf man gives his life, lays hands on the blind man and brings him back to life.

Answer:
The blind man does NOT exist.

The riddle says there were 2 men on the island. The deaf one, and the mute one. Note being deaf does not mean you can not speak but in this case the deaf one was deaf and mute and there was another person who was only mute.

1. Deaf (was deaf and mute)
2. Mute person
3. Blind person (Does not exist)

Wait wait wait, now i get it.

The key is there are TWO people on the island. Therefore to make it feasible that one person is CAPABLE of informing the other, the blind man cannot exist. The deaf man can tell the mute man.

That makes the riddle untrue, there are more than three words that end in the letters gry, actually I believe I read up on this riddle on snopes and there are actually more than three words that end in gry.  Gry itself is a word:

From Webster's revised unabridged Dictionary:
Gry

Gry\, n. [Gr ? syllable, bit.]

1. A measure equal to one tenth of a line. [Obs.] --Locke.

2. Anything very small, or of little value. [R.]

When people reworded/shortened the riddle, they messed it up.

A man and wife are in their car. The car breaks down and the man gets out to go get help. Before he leaves he makes sure she is alone in the car and locks the doors and trunk. When he returns his wife is dead. The doors and trunk are still locked and no one has broken in  yet there is a stranger in the car. How did  his wife die?

In both heaven and in hell, meal times have people sitting around circular tables with particular eating instruments and rules.

The rules are, they are forced to sit ten feet away from the food and must reach the food with long forks. They must hold the forks at the end at all times and must use the forks to eat with (i.e. no hands).

This is extremely difficult, and a catch is rare. Interestingly enough, the people in heaven are well fed and the people in hell go hungry - I guess that's the idea ;).

Why? (Note: It is not "they are already dead", keep thinking)

Riddle A
A boy was at a show and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?


Riddle B
A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

correct: He wrote "Your exact weight"

correct: kid stood under the glass

The "Your Exact Weight" riddle is similar to others I've heard.  I'd heard the "Under Water" riddle a number of times.  No google involved.

If the horse is fully extended on the rope and the hay is 25 ft back in the direction of whatever he's tied to, it would be 15 ft back to the point of origin, and then he could extend 15 ft the other direction, so basically he has a diameter of 30 ft to work with.

He walks over to the hay and eats it. As long as the other end of the 15 ft rope is not tied to something else, it will drag on the ground as he gets his grub on.

SJon, a party magician, is carrying three pieces of gold each piece weighing one kilogram.

On the way to a session he comes to a bridge which has a sign posted saying the bridge could hold only a maximum of 80 kilograms.

SJon weighs 78 kilograms and the gold weighs three kilograms.

He reads the sign and still safely crossed the bridge with all the gold.

How did he manage this?

We assume SJon's weight was taken while holding the gold(it was on his person) (so SJon is 75Kilos and the Gold is 3 Kilos =78 kilos)

Actors dont (usually) really kill people

The one I heard was that the Wife was sentenceed to death, and the husband's job was to administer the death penalty

It didn't indicate whether the killing was real or virtual.  It did say that a lot of people saw it.  Typically executions are witnessed by a limited number of people.  Surgeries by even fewer.  Movies and stage plays, where a murder might be part of the plot, are viewed by millions.

Answer #1: If his name is Daniel, I'm guessing the room with the hungry lions would be safest.  :D
