The worlds first riddle!

Mark:

TORN PAPER
2^10 = 1024



Don't he make it look so simple!

1st round: a paper tear in half (2 pieces)
2nd round: each two pieces tear in half (4 pieces)
3rd round: each 4 pieces tear in half (8 pieces)
.....

From those three rounds, you can see a pattern, 1st round is 2^1, 2nd round is 2^2....so we can say that after 10 rounds, we will have 2^10 = 1024 piece of papers.




Francis:


ECAPS

Make it space backwards...


Stormy:

I guess that's French for backspace



TTH:

space something



Thoh:

its BACKSPACE people! that key in the upper right of your keyboard




TTH pleaded, "There is no key on my keyboard that says "backspace"


You must be using a Mac!


"If who were a person then Bill would be 5"


You talk weird!



Both Stormy and TTH got:

T
E
G= get up






A company that sells fruit, Fruits of America, recently took a survey. 10 people like peaches, 13 people like strawberries and 5 people like Kiwi's. 4 people like peaches and strawberries equally, 2 people like strawberries and kiwis equally, and 1 person likes all 3 equally.

How many people were surveyed

Question:

A conjunction of 4 very different integer cubes saunter in (completely ignoring a group of nilpotent matrices at another table who would run rings around them) and quickly pair off to form two groups of two which add to the same:

a) lowest number that is the sum of two cubes;
b) time they left the restaurant after a very long lunch;
c) means of departure

All.

Exactly, that is what I said.

Good morning TTH could I have a word with…

Yes i am! Thanks


That's ok! I expect TTH helped you with the answers.

I am willing to place a small wager that the answer is:


Draw a Venn Diagrams for union AUBUC with overlapping:

Let A= 13, B=10, C= 5, (AB)A intersects B=4 (BC)B intersects C= 2 (ABC)A intersects B intersects C
AUBUC= A+ B +C - AB- BC+ABC

Since the intersection of A, B and C is a common portion of the intersection of A and B and the intersection of B and C , when you subtract AB and BC, you subtract ABC twice so you need to add 1.

10+13+5-4-2+1= 23 people were surveyed.

If I am wrong you get to go to bible class with OwoohooO

"If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? "

Try posted this by mistake in the "Questions Game" thread.

My guess is that this is a physics question. It is also my guess that IF you could go the speed of light and turned your headlights on that nothing would happen. You would become the speed of light. I never really researched it and I didn't take physics.

TTH I've done physics so here is my reasoned answer in detail

Ok. Let me just get this straight in my head. I'm driving a car at the speed of light... 299,792,458 meters per second? I'm sorry, but the question is flawed in many parts, which I will go into:

1. I was to try that on earth, not only would I need the reflexes of a Jedi, but I would have to have some kind of car/boat hybrid. Sadly, the question is not "what if a boat-car was traveling the speed of light..." so we can't do it on our bluey, greeny mass of dirt. This takes us into point 2.

2. Have you ever tried to get a car into space? Jesus man, that's the looniest idea I have ever heard, and one of my friends suggested once that we go clay pigeon shooting blindfolded...(we didn't, but still a crazy idea.)
A car in space is just not doable, maybe if it was modified to serve as a space craft as well as a car. But that takes us back to point one.

(Anyone else see this turning into Asimov's three laws of pissing on the Theory of Relativity?) This, ties in neatly with point three.

3. Einstein, a crazy haired German once said that it is impossible to ever go faster than the speed of light. Was he right? Who knows, but that's not the topic under discussion here is it? Let's take him at his word and assume that the latter is true. So, nothing can go faster that the speed of light. Granted he doesn't say that an object can go AS fast, but he's dead now, so we can't question him on it...lucky git!

4. Speaking of being dead, have you ever been on a really fast rollercoaster? I'm sure you have. But, they don't make a roller coater that can do anywhere near as fast as the speeds we are talking about here. Traveling at the speed of light would, in theory, liquefied every major organ in your body, pulverise you into the seat, and Christ knows what else. Bottom line, it's not going to happen!

Anyway, as an answer is needed here, I'm willing to over look all the above points and wrap things up. Let's just say, that for some unknown reason there is a car is space. Also, this car has been fitted with some kind of star trek style doohickey that stops you from becoming goo when hitting insane velocities.

That all being said, the car hits the speed of light, (history in its self, mind) the driver turns on the headlights and what happens.....

NOTHING! Nothing at all, due to that fact that the light from the cars headlights has nothing to reflect onto, so the human eye cannot see it. If the driver goes out to have a look, well, he'd be dead of course and I'm not starting a load of new points just to explain that!

To wrap it all up. as I'm sure you have guessed, this was just a clever way for me to dart around the question as it's obvious that I have no bloody clue what I'm on about.

Gee, it took all that to say "nothing" would happen. What I remember is that Einstein never proved a person could go faster than the speed of light.
Even if you could go as fast, it wouldn't be practical due to time. I think that is what he came up with.

TTH, I was only trying to emulate Tryagain's style of logic.

I hardly understand the guy

That makes two of us.

Cataclasmic, cataclysmic catechisms it is then.

Tryagain, the basic spelling errors in the site that you lifted the Q & A from should have alerted you to an increased chance of an error in logic, notwithstanding that it's A intersection C that is equal to 2 not B intersection C.

The answer is 22 (try drawing it).

I should have specified POSITIVE integers, oops.

Tryagain at his dazzling best with:

a) 10 cubed plus 9 cubed = 12 cubed plus 1 cubed
b) equals 1729 (when lunch finished)
c) where's my taxicab?
