The worlds first riddle!

Two players, the number of cards expected.

H E L P, is unnecessary.


Having Elvises Largely Polyhedral

[size=7] If HE had L elvises with P sides then
[(L+P-1)!] / [L! (P-1)!]

[/size=7][size=7][/size]

As ya'll probably know I have been praying to God for a new tractor, however his response has been a bit slow and I found out he didn't work that way.....so I stole one and prayed for his forgiveness.


Remember; never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

ACHANCEN= an outside chance

Waether





REWAISTHON

Of course! It's the "how many ways can you distribute four marbles among six boxes" problem in disguise.

How many degrees (if any) are there in the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock when the time is a quarter past three


Which do I have better odds of winning:

A. one shot at 1 in 4
B. five shots at 1 in 20




ALL world

Waether= mixed weather

REWAISTHON= within reason

ALL world= It's a small world after all

7.5 degrees
the minute hand is on the 3 but the hr hand moved a quarter of the way to the 4. 360 degrees / 12 hrs = 30 degrees/hr...30/4 = 7.5

Clock on toque:

1. Tryagain is looking radiant today
2. There are 24 hours in a day
3. I have a cream pi

Therefore, pi on 24 radians

i agree.

Sometimes it's easier to calculate what is not.

So this traffic cop says, "You have the right to remain silent... Anything you say will be misquoted, and then used against you."

I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

I'm gonna tell the Superintendent you deserve a raise!




Thoh:


DEGREES

7.5 degrees

The minute hand is on the 3 but the hr hand moved a quarter of the way to the 4. 360 degrees / 12 hrs = 30 degrees/hr...30/4 = 7.5



I agree because:

Clearly there is an angle between the hour and minute hand other than zero. This comes from the fact that the hour hand doesn't stay still whilst the minute hand is catching up. So let us consider the angles clockwise from 12 o'clock so.

12 o'clock = 0°
1 o'clock = 30°
2 o'clock = 60°
3 o'clock = 90°
4 o'clock = 120°

The simplest way to think of this is that clearly each hour is made up of 30° and that the hour hand will have moved one quarter of an hour past three o'clock. ¼ x 30° = 7.5°



Did someone invite the Poet Laureate!
Epenthesis quilled:

Clock on toque:

1. Tryagain is looking radiant today
2. There are 24 hours in a day
3. I have a cream pi

Therefore, pi on 24 radians


Can anyone confirm that?


Ksanfo, "I agree."

Dude, may I say what a pleasure it is to have a true riddle fan amongst us. Yeah, I may say it; but do I mean it….. No, seriously; if you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments!

How many of you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news of Elvis' death?

I do......

Elvis' middle name was spelled Aron on Aaron.

Rap

Rap, "Elvis' middle name was spelled Aron not Aaron."



Thank you for pointing that out good buddy, to make a mistake is human. However:

Elvis himself spelled it Aron and it is indeed that way on his tombstone….

But, and it is a BIG butt; on his birth cerftificate it is spelled Aaron. :wink:

WINNING ODDS
25% vs. 22.62190625%

Go with 1 in 4.


The wily fox has done it again!


The probability of A is obviously 25%. The probability of getting zero shots out of five is 0.95^5=77.378%. So the probability of getting at least one out of five is 100%-77.378%=22.622%. So A has the higher probability.



Stormy you sure know your music trivia!



Thoh, "actually..its spelled AARON on the tombstone."


Elvis thought he was called 'Aron' and signed his name as that. It says 'Aron' on his marriage certificate and even his Army duffel bag!

However in the interest of clarity; Thoh is correct.




What are the odds of being dealt the King of diamonds 27 hands in a row in a six-card game

No takers? How about Stormy? You're good at these...

KING OF DIAMONDS
[size=7]If six-card game means the hand has six cards, then the probability (do you really want odds?) is
(6/52)^27 = 4.764e-26 (damn small)[/size]
