The worlds first riddle!

So I ask: How do you find where a flea has bitten you?

"Start from scratch!"

Ba da bum <that's a rim shot>

Don't think I have ever talked to a man about hemorrhoids before - this would be a first for me ...yikes

mismi40 he is a strange one but, funny & cute.
Now I am pretty sure mark or raprap can quickly answer the questions put up by Try but, where is sweet thoh?
thoh you better show up or I will just keep posting love songs to you

Have always had a thing for Try :wink:

Try is one of a kind, in his mind anyway....really he is nice, I think or maybe I shouldn't think. Try is just one of my many favorites but, don't tell him that

ok, i just made this up right now and i don't know the solution

you are playing a game with a fair coin. if u flip it and it lands heads on the first try, you get one point. if it lands tails, you flip it again. if it lands heads on that second try, you get two points. so you keep flipping for n flips until the nth flip results in a heads at which point you get n points. if you play once, how many points do you expect to win
what if you get one point for the first flip, and 2^(n-1) points for the nth flip

slightly inaccurate?

Oh thoh it is about time you showed up. So, just for grins one last song :wink:

SOLIPSISTER'S AGE

THOH13'S GAME
[size=7]Part 1 is the sum, for i equals 1 to infinity, of i/(2^i), which is 2. You would expect 2 points.

Part 2 is the sum, for i equals 1 to infinity, of 1/2, which is infinity. You would expect an infinite number of points.[/size]

ooh that is so unfair
Mark your last post, I had that as an answer but, it didn't fit how Try usually posts them. As in one word starts with the first letter and ends with the last.
That is tricky

oops my fault. I was wrong. I see it now. He did post it the way I thought it should be. That is what I get for thinking

Mark:

SOLIPSISTER'S AGE
57 (14% reduction)



Due to the secrecy surrounding her real age, this was a most difficult problem. I think it could be argued Mark is correct, or even there may other ways to determine a solution. However, I believe the answer is: 64 years old.

64 years old less 12% = 56 rounded up.
56 less 12% = 49 rounded up.

The difference in this case between 64 and 56 is 8.

8 less 12% = 7 rounded up.

That is so unfair to answer your own question so fast. It was a real good one and I was gonna say:

La (récurrente) souciance sommeillique - Au risque d'alourdir la (légendaire) légèreté sémantique (hahaha, m'auto-gausse-je intérieurement) de cet espace rédactionnel, force est de constater l'aspect résolument (décidément et définitivement ?) exceptionnel de l'avant-dernière nuit (sept heures sommeilliques en continu...), enthousiasmatiquement notifiée ici, au vu de cette (nouvelle et présente) nuit qui s'achève, comme celle d'hier, après une longue suite de réveils et rendormissements successifs, me trouvant, à l'orée de cette nouvelle (belle) journée qui débute, déjà singulièrement fatigué.

Il peut être intéressant (ou pas) de signaler que ces troubles sommeilliques, qui commencent à (réellement) susciter une (naturelle) souciance ainsi qu'une (un tantinet dommageable) lassitude physique, (sans compter la multiplication quasi vertigineuse (et rébarbatif) de notes traitant de ce sujet insomniant), se trouvent être, (avec un inconséquent embonpoint ventral dont je n'arrive pas à me défaire malgré moultes pédalages quotidiens), les (métaphoriques) derniers écueils rocheux qui me séparent encore d'une forme physique, certes par moment encore fébrile, mais singulièrement plus paradisiaquement et plagiquement sablique, (pour rester dans la métaphore maladroite) que ces derniers mois écoulés.....I was that close!


Miss mi; nice looking problem, I'm on the case!

What does that mean Mr. Obscure?
and where the heck are you? I need to give you a hard time and it's no fun if you don't smart back...

Try
You are so strange you are funny. I still hardly understand you. I am going to bed (with my dog)
Have a good day all of you

that's cool!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just sneaking in so as not to wake Miss mi…

The addition and subtraction sum shown below has had digits replaced by letters, with different letters for different digits. The second answer is incomplete, but it is a four letter word.

ADD + TAKE = AWAY

TAKE - ADD = D_T_

What is the four letter word

Take aways? That sounds like fun
