The worlds first riddle!

lscihdlserst= Schindler's List

50 percent chance that the centroid lands in a white square. the radius of the coin is 1cm, and the size of a white square is 10cm x 10cm. thus the centroid must land inside the 9cm x 9cm inner section to be completely within.

P = 0.5 * 9^2/10^2 = 0.405

You are right, I don't say. Otherwise I don't kiss and tell

Adroit?
I had to look up that word
It sounds like you must be good at line dancing then

No idea but I wouldn't place a bet on it.

< means I have no idea. I could always look at the next page and see if someone answered it
Nah, that wouldn't be the right thing to do.

RE: Looking at the next page, none of that up there ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
above my post was there when I posted my post.

Will ya just look at the time, why did no one wake me? I have a very busy schedule; today is trash day and I have to feed the cat. It never rains but it paws.

Clever, I didn't keep a copy of the answer and the more I looked at it the less sense it made.

We are not that far apart, but as TTH said, "…I wouldn't place a bet on it." :wink:

0.32



Let's check that number out…

For the coin to fall within a white square, it (its centre) must fall into a smaller area inside a white square. This smaller area will also be a square with its length 2cm shorter than the 10cm white square. (If the coin falls at the very edge of the white square, its centre will be on the edge of this smaller white square; the border of this square will be 1cm away from the border of the larger square). So it must land within this area = 64 square cm.

The area of a white square is 100 square cm = 64/100, but only every 2nd square is white, so the answer = 32/100…Dang, he was right!

I know that, I think Mark waits for you to nearly post then copies you using a time warp!





I fear Etc may have been seized by Lucifer, so…..


Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedy's?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who

Listen up dudes, the weekend is almost upon us and I want you to have a few extra bucks in your pocket to enjoy it, so…


There are 10 blue balls and 10 white balls in this jar. You are blindfolded and you randomly pick 10 balls. If 5 of the balls you picked are blue and the other 5 are white, you lose $2. Otherwise you win $1.


Who will be the first?


Come on, what are the chances, do you wanna bet

Ah...how typical of me. I explain the solution correctly and then make a stupid math error like 10 - 2 = 9

Okay, I wanna bet
Does that mean I won since I was first

I fear Etc may have been seized by Lucifer, Try,,, Lucifer isn't smart or attractive enough for me,,, i like grown intelligent hairy men. God Bless,,, see you soon <waves>

BALLS

"BALLS" <--what you said.

Stuh, we have all been there.

I have yet to check Mark's answer, however I fear it would be a mistake to bet.



Etc wrote, "i like grown intelligent hairy men."

That reminds me that I haven't seen Rap around.




Etc is trapped in a room with 2 possible exits, but only one leads to salvation.

One door leads into a magnifying glass room, the hot sun destroys anything or anyone that goes in there.

The other door leads straight to a fire-breathing dragon that is impossible to pass.

Can that be right?

The number of combinations to take 10 balls out of 20 is 20!/(10!)^2=184756.

The number of combinations to take 5 balls of each color is (10!/(5!)^2)^2=63504.

This means in 184756 games you lose 63504 games and win 121252 games in average, totaling a loss of $5756. In other words, you lose about $0.03116 per game in average.

Therefore, the gamble is not fair, but what did you expect!




You are on your way to visit TTH, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made.

Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make believe, there is a troll under every bridge! (I did not say THOH) Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll.

Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind Try trolls, they each give you back a single cake.

How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma's with exactly 2 cakes

Try you promised not to tell anyone how we met...... :wink: )

There was trouble down at the old mill last night; it's my cousin Cletus you see; he thinks he is a chicken. I wanted to get him into therapy, but the others were against it and wanted to keep the eggs!
