The worlds first riddle!

"Can I pick a 'score' for the Red Sox tonight?"



Sorry, I am not familiar with the Little League, however if they wear red socks, they must look cute and I have them down for a win.

Good, and keep your fingers crossed for Friday night's game...I'll be at that one

( btw...they are cute :wink: )

TTH wrote, yabba dabba …"OMG That is so unfair. I was in the middle of answering and you got your post in before I did. Do you realize how much work that is to copy and do the individual quotes and do all that stuff?"

Thankfully no. I can't do all that fancy stuff, looks good though!



Thoh:

Gus = 53.4 and TTH = 35.6
G + T = 89... G - x = T... T/2 = T - x... T = 2x... G = 3x... x = 17.8... T = 35.6... G = 53.4


Looks like I got the names mixed up!




In a 4?-4 square with the middle four blocks missing, (only the outside blocks remain) you have to get from X (top Right) to Y (bottom Left) moving only along the black lines of the blocks.

How many different shortest routes are there from X to Y




TIME/2 SCORE


1+1 LIB



Red Sox:
I might be at Fenway Park on Friday, how will I recognize you, what will you have written on your t shirt?

[size=8]halftime score

4x4 SQUARE
I get 34[/size]

I'm 5'3", blue eyes and light brown hair. I'll be wearing jeans and a Red Sox tee shirt..oh yeah, and have a beer in my hand. I should be easy to spot. How will I recognize you?


1+1 LIB = adlib

Oh, that will be easy: 6 foot with beard in dreads, patch over me left eye, peg-leg with a parrot on me shoulder. Wearing a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim winners shirt. Word on the streets is; it will be a full house, so I guess there will just be the two of us there. BTW The parrot is called Henry in case you go getting me confused with Calico Jack.

Go LAA!

I was gonna buy you a beer, but I don't fraternize with the enemy!!!!!

GO RED SOX!!!!!! :wink:

I did? It wasn't me. If it wasn't me it was thoh


Ha Ha you did. TTH was thoh
Didn't you know sometimes they switch?


Huh? How can there be black lines of the "blocks"?
Isn't a 4 x 4 square 4 lines with nothing in the middle? What does blocks have to do with it? Are you saying a 4 x 4 square is considered a block?
If so then why ask block(s) < plural ? I am totally

Half time score?

I agree

Mark:

4x4 SQUARE
I get 34

Way to go buddy!


We first note that a shortest path must always move to the right and up, never left or down. We begin in the upper-right corner and proceed back to the lower-left corner, counting the number of paths from the point in question to the upper-right corner. There is one shortest "path" from the upper right corner to itself.

Now any shortest path starting at a point must first move up or right if possible. The number of such paths will be the sum of the number of such paths starting at the point above it (if there is one) and the number of such paths starting at the point to the right of it (if there is one). As we go from upper-right to lower-left writing the sum of the numbers above and to the right, we obtain the total number of paths we seek is 34.

Yes, I have used a variation of this problem before. Pascal's Triangle is visible in the upper right hand corner. If I had inserted the four connecting lines in the middle, it would have been clearer that Pascal's Triangle was at work here.

Stormy:

1+1 LIB = adlib

"I was gonna buy you a beer, but I don't fraternize with the enemy!!!!! "

That's ok, I do.


"GO RED SOX!!!!!!"

I am not hereby authorized to inform you that you have used up your monthly allocation of ?'exclamation' marks.


TTH:

"It wasn't me. If it wasn't me it was thoh"

"TTH was thoh. Didn't you know sometimes they switch?"


Just what I suspected all along; you and Thoh are one and the same.



"…If so then why ask block(s) < plural ? I am totally!"

Yes, you probably are, but with the advances in modern medicine, there is always hope.

: Half time score

: (Adlib)I agree

Uh, this is embarrasing, but if that is a joke I don't get it. Could you please explain it to me? Only if you talk right.


Huh? I didn't get this one right. I didn't know the answer.
All I did was agree it was a question.

How come I never get to drink btw??????

This has become one of my favorite threads - just to read along!

Tryagain you are besieged by beautiful women, what's you're secret?

Take my advice CJ, the same advice I gave Gus; if you are gonna chew on Beaver pelts, make darn sure it beaver ain't still wearing them!

You are so right Cobber, normally I would charge for this, no not for the Ladies, the secret; which is ?'Musk'. Caution: Don't apply unless you are ready for action, if you get my drift!!! :wink:

Don't worry, we Germans know what a "Wolf im Schafspelz" means.

Quicky:

What are the two longest words to contain the same consonants in
the same position?

An example: card/cord.

[size=7]1. The Odd couple_ + The _10_ Commandments = Cheaper by the _dozen
2. Around the World in __80_ Days - The Magnificent _7_ = Winchester _87_ I think its 97
3. _101_ Dalmations + Passenger _57_ + Summer of __42_ = _200_ Motels (Zappa with help from Michael Nesbit---Monkeys is the Craziest peoplw)
4. The _2_ Jakes + _3_ Days of the Condor + The __3_ Amigos! = Dinner at _8__
5. The _39_ Steps + __4_ Weddings and a Funeral + _12_ Angry Men = _55_ Days at Peking
