MOU you go AWOL for 100 days then come back and bust the hardest riddle ever! And, all before 8am PT. Have you no heart, or did it take that long before you found one you could answer? Laughing

MyOwnUsername:
10 people guessed four fruits correctly Cool , while 0 Cool guessed three fruits because it would be impossible.

It is not possible to guess only three fruits correctly: the fourth fruit is then correct too! So nobody has guessed three fruits correctly and 123-43-39-31 = 10 people have guessed four fruits correctly.




Mark:
POLE
48 feet Cool

8 feet = L - (L/3) - (L/2) = (6L/6) - (2L/6) - (3L/6) = L/6

so L, the length of the pole, is 6 x 8 = 48 feet long.



MAGIC SQUARE Cool

438

SENTENCES
yes - they are true or false Cool Laughing



Because its a paradox. If the first is true, then the second must be false, which makes first false.

B C D E I K O X?

SERIES - H Cool

The letter H. All of the letters in the series flipped vertically remain the same.

Is upside down a rotation around the horizontal line that splits the letters in half?

Is backwards a rotation around the vertical line that splits the middle letter in half?

Upside down and backwards at the same time?

You have sixteen coins. One of them is a counterfeit, and the other fifteen are genuine, but identical in appearance to the counterfeit. The counterfeit's weight is different from that of a genuine coin, but you don't know if the counterfeit is heavier or lighter than a genuine coin. You also have an unusual balance, with three pans (at the vertices of an equilateral triangle) instead of the usual two. Any number of coins can be placed in each of the three pans, and the balance will tilt toward the heavier pan or pans if the weights are unequal.

What is the minimum number of weighings needed to identify the counterfeit? (You may put coins in all three pans in a single weighing.)

Mark:

CROSS OUT LETTERS
If you cross out all unnecessary letters in the following string of letters, a logical sentence will remain.

This is a true statement. Laughing Cool

THE ANSWER:
If you cross out the letters in "ALL UNNECESSARY LETTERS", then the remaining letters will spell "A LOGICAL SENTENCE".


NEXT LETTERS
Shouldn't that be W A T N T L I T _ _ ? Embarrassed

Well spotted Mark, for some reason the full question did not print out. This should have been:

What are the next two letters in the following series and why?
W A T N T L I T F S _ _

The answer is: ?'A' ?'Y'

Whim, are you following this? What =W. are=A. the=T. next=N two=T., etc. Clever I thought, but not clever enough.

CHEESE
madE backwards. Cool

Edam=Made, and not a cheese eating surrender monkey in sight! Laughing



CATS
grandma, mom, daughter Cool

UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS
?'I' Cool

I asked ( after a little guidance) : What (5 letter) word looks the same upside down and backwards?

Mark wished to clarify a number of points, and the failings of the question became apparent.
Ie; upside down is backwards etc. Therefore, to set the record straight, the answer was;
SWIMS.



Dadpad:

cats Grandmother mother daughter. Cool


In response to the question, "How many beans make 5?"

DP, "Edit typo" - Sorry mate, that's not quite right. Laughing


ALL UNNECESSARY LETTERS

A LOGICAL SENTENCE Cool

That makes perfect sense.



Whim:

…Q M

Question Mark! That's good advice. Laughing


"Why is teleporter an ancient device?"

I think Mark meant ?'teleprinter' coz the fax had yet to be invented.


Please don't give out the answer to the ?'weighing' just yet, I am on the case, although I like the look of DP's answer, but…





I am a path situated between high natural masses. Remove my first letter & you have a path situated between man-made masses.
