I couldnt get past half of the first page, but this reminded me of one of my favorite Mitch Hedberg quotes




If you are gonna quiz me, you must put a pause in there.

RIP Mitch

What is the area of a triangle that has sides of 14, 11 and 25 inches long?



A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?


What substance is 50% heavier than a cubic foot of coal, but when reduced in weight by 50% weighs less than a cubic foot of coal?

You will sentence me to 6 years in prison.

I don't think you can make a triangle out of those lengths.

"This statement is false."

1.5 cubic feet of coal

1.5 cubic feet of coal. It's 50% heavier than 1 cubic foot of coal, and when reduced by 50% weighs 75% of a cubic foot of coal.

Correct. given sides of a triangle A, B, and C, the following must be true:
A+B>C
A+C>B
B+C>A

else sides of said length cannot be made into a triangle.

You can, but technically it's a straight line.

/shrug

correct


Answer was "you will sentence me to 6 years"


true, but not the answer I'm looking for

Prove that Barro-Ricardian equivalence does not hold.

It's the same thing.

saying this statement is false isn't really making a statement tho, it's circular.

If I were a PACT member i would remove some of your points



This assumes that the path of government spending is fixed, which doesn't hold because of Katrina or what not.

Empirical evidence pls. Even if govt spending is not fixed, I can argue that households can reasonably predict how spending would change and adjust accordingly.

Also, students are given a greater choice of schools, ie they can move to schools outside of their district. Effects on 1) school efficiency, 2) student performance.

It's the exact same thing as "You will sentence me to 6 years in jail." If it's true, he spends four years in jail, which means it's false, which means he spends six years in jail, which means it's true (repeat).

"This statement is false" works the same way. "If the statement is true, the statement is false, which means the statement is true..."

ya I really don't know anything about the Barro-Ricardian equivalence, I just looked on wiki and took the first thing I saw.

and I stand by the fact that saying this statement is false does not count as a statement. It's true that is works but seems to break some rules of logic or something, I dunno I just don't like it. NO SOUP FOR YOU

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Nobody has gotten this yet

and I thought of it all on my own

i feel so smrt

Perhaps that is because there are multiple "correct" answers. It's just that nobody has thought of the answer you had in mind. Just sayin.....

The only 'correct' answer was kind of strecthin' it

I don't get it. Is it one of those "A plus sign doesn't have to be a plus sign" or "a 4 is not a 4" thing?

This will probably give it away but

3+6+8+7 = Four

three plus six plus eight plus seven equals four.


I got nothing.

worst riddle ever

I guess we are all retarded.

because 3 + 6 + 8 + 7 are four different numbers.

? if thats the answer i'm seriously pissed off.

i still think it was golf scores.

another small hint

3+6+8+7 = Four

but 6+7+3+8 doesnt equal Four

In english, the order matter

this is the problem with making up your own riddles...

what happened with the other riddles in this thread and every riddle ever?

did they just appear outta thin air? somebody had to think of them

Answer: 3x-3

Seriously.

The value for F is 3. F is the sixth letter of the alphabet.
3*(3)-3=6

The value for O is 6. O is the fifteenth letter of the alphabet.
3*(6)-3=15

And so on.


I hope that isn't the answer you were going for, because it's totally retarded.

U is the 21st letter of the alphabet

3*(8)-3=21

R is the 18th letter of the alphabet

3*(7)-3-=18

I give you 154 points and 7 cookies for figuring that out....

but thats not the answer and thats truly pathetic that you have so much time on your hand to even think of that

this is WAY simpler then you guy think

looking back on that, that doesnt surprise me that that worked. Once you guys figure it out, you'll see why that whole thing actually worked, it makes sense why.

here is a hint. A Teenager, primarily one in High school could probably get this.

wow. it's the #s I would have to type for a text message. I stand by my earlier statement about this being the worst riddle ever.

you are correct. on both accounts.

Nope.



QFT

I didn't think it was all that bad. Maybe people just pissed because it's not traditional and you can't google the answer?

yeah, well...
6+6+3=1
8+9+6=2
8+4+7+3+3=3
3+4+8+3=5
7+4+9=6
7+3+8+3+6=7
3+4+4+4+8=8
6+4+6+3=9

ty sir, maybe the are upset because there were multiple 'answers' even though they were kinda of out there. But I bet I could look at all the riddles in this thread and come up with multiple answers for everyone.

If it was so retarded. Explain why it took you all so long to get it

Fine.


A man drops a stick another man dies. What happened? There are multiple answers to that one, but only one "answer".

Is the stick a lever of some type?

Is it a stick of dynomite?

No, and No. There were no explosives involved. Nor electricity.

dipshit, the vast majority of riddles have various solutions that could be right.

the man who droped the stick was blind and crossing the road and someone driving had to avoid him and killed another pedestrian.

The ugly one




Your playing monopoly

The stick was a stick of dynamite that exploded.

The stick was a javelin that went through the other guy's head.

The stick weighed 700 pounds and was dropped off the top of a tall building.

The stick was used to beat to death the person who makes up riddles like this, and when he realized what he had done, he dropped it.

Wrong. It's the ugly one.

This thread has given me the power to a be riddle master every now and then and throw riddles at people when they least expect it, here is one somebody threw back at me that I liked.



You are in a room where there are 100 coins on the ground, 10 of them are facing heads up and 90 of them are face up. You need to divide the coins into two stacks that have the same number of coins with heads facing up in each. You are blind and are unable to tells heads from tails by touch, what do you do?

Huh?

isnt 10 a number? so 10^10 would work and be larger than 9^9. same with 235^652 and such.



couldn't you just any question you knew the answer to and see if the told the truth or lied?

I fixed my post, it was retarded the first time round

Only if you could ask more than one question. Your question has to be one which is answered the same by both guards.
