Nice clue, nice riddle

if there is 1 pair of pears in the tree and there falls one, there are no pears indeed but only a pear. either on the ground or in the tree

Mark:

TRAIN
The train is four times as fast as TTH.



If TTH runs back 3/8ths of the length of the bridge, she will reach the beginning of the bridge just when the train does.

So, if she runs forward 3/8ths of the length of the bridge, she will be 6/8ths of the way across the bridge when the train reaches the beginning of the bridge.

This means she would run the last 2/8ths of the bridge in the time it would take the train to travel the whole 8/8ths of the bridge.

And so, the train must be travelling at 32mph.


Re: NATIONAL SURVEY

Would you be so kind as to explain how to go about figuring that one?



TTH:

Water/tea? I would drink water.

It was a Trivia question and any answer is just fine.


TTH wrote, "These are riddles with numbers involved."

WHAT!!! Riddles with numbers even…You are messin with my mind….Lalala….Lalala


"taxing my brain"

For Gawds sake don't mention TAX here, there is enough blood being spilled on the history forum!


Magnum:

Dude you are so right, thanks for helping out!




There are two groups of people who visit A2K; pure liars and pure truth tellers.

I went to a Trivia forum Bring-and-Buy hoedown and met 3 people.
The first said something but I don't catch it, the second one replies, "He said he was a liar." The third says to the second, "You are lying!"

Is the third person who was kinda cute, a liar or truth teller

Or is it impossible to know



Riddle with numbers:

Is it correct to say that seven and five is thirteen,
or seven and five are thirteen

[size=8]TWO GROUPS
If she was kinda cute, it must have been TTH.
She is a truth teller. The first person would never say "I'm a liar." Therefore, the second person is a liar.

SEVEN & FIVE
Seven and five is/are twelve.[/size]

Mark:



Exactly. And 1,299,709 just happens to be the 100,000th prime number. :-)

Mark:

TWO GROUPS
She is a truth teller. The first person would never say "I'm a liar." Therefore, the second person is a liar.


He is right you know; consider what the first person must have said:

If he were a Truth Teller, he'd say, "I'm a Truth Teller."
If he were a Liar, he'd lie and say, "I'm a Truth Teller."
That is, NO ONE would ever say, "I'm a Liar."

Hence, the second person lied.
Therefore, the third person spoke the truth.


SEVEN & FIVE
Seven and five is/are twelve.

(Thank you, all is now clear)

Thoh, "Exactly. And 1,299,709 just happens to be the 100,000th prime number."

(Silly me, how could I forget a milestone like that. Many a long winters evening I have spent round the camp fire memorizing prime numbers.)



Try discovered a temple with three gigantic statues guarding the entrance.
Originally he thought it was the A2K offices, but later, after securing a large educational grant identified it as a local MacDonald's.

To be allowed into this temple of tasty morsels, he had to identify each of the three gods.

The God of Truth always tells the truth.
The God of Falsehood always lies.
The God of Diplomacy can tell the truth or lie.

He asked the god on the left, "Who stands next to you?"
"The God of Truth," was the reply.

He asked the god in the middle, "Who are you?"
"The God of Diplomacy," was the reply.

He asked the god on the right, "Who stands next to you?"
"The God of Falsehood," was the reply.

The smart a$$ immediately identified the three gods.

Do you mean at this site or in general?

I used to do one or two of the word topics in the Trivia forum, but that got boring since I wrote a program to find solutions.

I prefer math and programming problems. I do them at several sites.

I also play squash (not on-line).

How about you? Why do you keep changing your avatar?

Ah, trying to make me look silly by deleting your post (which contained a question) after I read it but before I finished responding to it? Clever girl!

Just plain boredom.

What question? I do no see one, do you?

I know you see one now.
What is squash?

You are sly, you took my picture.

I would love to see Tryagain's face if she/he saw this.

Squash is sort of a cross between tennis and racquetball.

Try is male. Actually, some other gal once stole his avatar - confused the hell out of me at first.

You didn't answer my questions...
