You are both correct. Methinks that was an easy one.

1/7

Try writing that out and see how large it is.

That's a very small number.

The answer is 9^9.

Hang on - it's gonna take me a while.

9 pentation 9.

It could easily be larger though (replace pent with hex/oct/etc.)

Alternatively I could say 9 and have the mathematical operator for a 'busy beaver' number - BB().

BB(9) is quite big, if anyone could calculate it.

You all are just so terrible at riddling.

Terrible.

Well, then, let's hear one of yours. I think I'd enjoy a good Wang riddle.

9/0

Oh yeah? Well how about infinity PLUS infinity??!!!

Ok, new one:

Tom is in his hotel room in France. He makes a phone call. Right when the person on the other end picks up and says hello, he hangs up. He did not dial the wrong number. Why?

Guess: He was calling his own house, which was supposed to be empty.

He was checking to see if his wife was cheating on him. Also, riddles like this are meant to be discussed via yes/no questions. Because there are myriad solutions that fit the parameters, but only one is "correct."

Wang

Fine. Was he calling his own house?

Pros: Yes he was calling his own house
Con: No, it was not supposed to be empty



No he was not checking to see if his wife was cheating on him.


Ok, start asking yes or no questions

New one:

This morning, for the third time, I pissed in an empty gin bottle, even though there was nothing wrong with my toilet. Why?

You've been watching too much Waterworld?

Because the house you passed out at didn't have a working toilet, unfortunately.

That's a great answer, but I was unfortunately at home when I woke up.

Very well, you were so obliterated that you didn't remember that you fixed your toilet that had been broken for weeks earlier that day, and therefore did your normal routine for that previous time frame?

No.

The answer: I'm completely crazy.

Fixed your pizzle

Because who really want to walk all the way to the toilet to take a piss when you have a bottl right next ti you

its kinda hard to do good when your QB and top DL are out and your top RB cant run betwenn the tackle to save his life


cubs suck btw

QFT.

without reading the other responces.

They actually got on the camels and raced eachother instead of letting the camels run aroudn aimlessly

How do you kill that which has no life?

GK Unit: he was calling in for messages.

SuperJon: kill a whole lot of boars, then ask the question again.

I may be a degenerate, but my answer would be that you are in a huge MTT, or just too much of a gambler multi-tabling to get up and use the john, in fear of being away while folding a monster.

Please tell me I'm close. Otherwise, I need that fat ass who speaks about gambling addictions to post. Phone #?

I thought a fifth meant no more than five hours for someone. And when I put away two, I am an alcoholic. Five 1/5ths in 5 hours = 1, i mean 5 = wrongs equal a right.

Right?

I'm drunk. I think Ron or Royal slipped me a roofie, or maybe a shocker...

There are 4 women who want to walk across a bridge. They all begin on the same side. You have 17 minutes to get all of them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can walk across at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each woman walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower woman's pace.
Woman 1: 1 minute to cross
Woman 2: 2 minutes to cross
Woman 3: 5 minutes to cross
Woman 4: 10 minutes to cross
For example if Woman 1 and Woman 4 walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Woman 4 then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission. What is the order required to get all women across in 17 minutes?

99! > 9^9

This one was posted already.

There are 2 cups of coffee on a table both at 90 centigrade. If cold cream is added to one of the cups and the ambient temperature is 20 C, which one will cool to room temp the soonest?

I loved Quirks & Quarks.

This isn't really a riddle, but IIRC, the creamed coffee reaches drinkability quicker but the black coffee gets to room temp first. Insulative properties of cream, and slowed convection rates.

Actually, the last few times, this really WAS the reason. I once did it while in a chat with the Hideout guys, so they should be able to comfirm that I'm not just trying to help you feel better.

You are incorrect. The reason is he wanted to make sure his wife in America was ok, so he called from the Hotel Phone. But he didn't want to be charged for long distance, so he hung up once he heard her pick up and realized she was ok. You don't get charged if the call is less than three seconds.



Damn. gkunit20=pwned

He must have been Jewish.




















Little known fact: I'm Jewish on my mother's side, so it's ok for me to make jokes about it.

Meh. I'm jewish, and I find almost all jewish jokes hilarious. I draw the line at the Holocost though. Holocost jokes are NOT funny, and I will NOT tolerate them.

Yep, that's a given. Not only are they not funny, they're actually quite offensive.

good answer
reason for this is Newton's law of cooling
I am so smart s-m-a-r oops s-m-r-t, close call.
oooo a piece of bacon, oooo a piece of bacon, oooo a piece of bacon, oooo a piece of bacon







this one is simple, we need more of these ppl!

There is a barrel with no lid and some wine in it. "This barrel of wine is more than half full," said Curly. "No it's not," says Mo. "It's less than half full."

Without any measuring implements and without removing any wine from the barrel, how can they easily determine who is correct?











What row of numbers comes next?

1
11
21
1211

Nah, Newton only explains the slowing rate of cooling. The creamed coffee has to cool at a different rate/be somehow insulative to stay warmer longer WRT room temp. The standard newton prob is whether to add the cream now or later if you want your coffee hot (but not scalding) when your meal arrives.







tip it until the wine reaches the lip - if it is above the 'high-end' of the base, it is more than 1/2 full, if below, less than.

trick is to say it out loud, take the top row. it has...

one 1(11) then one 3(13) then two 1s(11)...etc

That's clever.

This seems a little...intolerant.

The point I was making is that the a hot cup of coffee cools at a faster rate than one colder than it according to NLOC.

I think you're trying to say the cream would change the properties of the coffee, giving it diffrent coeficients in NLOC, this is true but the cup of coffee that is coolder and has cream will cool slower because of the temperature difference not the cream's properties.

Instead of cream imagine cold coffee being added to the coffee, the same reasoning would apply except the coeficients in NLOC would not change.

oldie (to hopefully make up for the reposted one. i swear i didn't see the other one. i think i'm addicted to my mouse wheel. spin scroll spin scroll spinscrollspinscrollspinscrollspinscroll....):

You are given a set of scales and 12 marbles. The scales are of the old balance variety. That is, a small dish hangs from each end of a rod that is balanced in the middle. The device enables you to conclude either that the contents of the dishes weigh the same or that the dish that falls lower has heavier contents than the other.
The 12 marbles appear to be identical. In fact, 11 of them are identical, and one is of a different weight. Your task is to identify the unusual marble and discard it. You are allowed to use the scales three times if you wish, but no more.

Note that the unusual marble may be heavier or lighter than the others. You are asked to both identify it and determine whether it is heavy or light.

put 6 marbles on each side of the scale.

when one side drops, take those 6 marbles, and get rid of the other 6. put 3 on each side

when on side drops remove the other 3 marbles.

Choose any 2 of the marbles. If you wiehg the 2 and one of them drops, that is the heavy one. If neither scale ide drops, the one NOT on the scale is the heavy one


Easy one here,
If it takes 5 cats 5 minutes to eat 5 mice, how many minutes would it take 100 cat to eat 100 mice

Is this one for real?

The answer is, quite obviously, 100 minutes because I'm retarded.
