The worlds first riddle!

"CDILSCUODUNETD = discount included'


I see "consolidated"


hi try,,,how are you?

Good morning folks! Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting a mad bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian, and I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.




Rap:


What is the largest number you can write with just 3 digits?


9^(9^9)is about 1.96627E+77




Well 999 is the logical answer - incorrect though, we can go bigger.

Did you get the "power" brainwave and think of 99^9 (99 to the power of 9), which calculates out as 99*99*99*99*99*99*99*99*99.

Even better is 9^99 (9 to the power of 99) which calculates out as 9*9*9*9*9*9*9 ... and so on 99 times.

For the correct answer however, we must go with Rap; 9^9^9 (9 to the 9th power of 9).

Work out the second and third powers first (9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9*9 = 387420489.) We can therefore restate the sum as 9^387420489 which works out as.... very very big indeed.

10x10 SQUARE
100+81+64+49+36+25+16+9+4+1 = 385



10x10 . ..1
9x9 . . . . 4
8x8 . . . . 9
7x7 . . . 16
6x6 . . . 25
5x5 . . . 36
4x4 . . . 49
3x3 . . . 64
2x2 . . . 81
1x1 . . .100
Total = 385

Four members of the Riddles Forum are walking to a night A2K meeting. They decide to take a shortcut, but must cross a bridge. Luckily they have one flashlight. Because of the varying size of their bags, it takes each member a different amount of time to cross the bridge -

It takes the first person one minute, the second person two minutes, the third person five minutes and the fourth person ten minutes. They must cross the bridge in pairs, travelling at the slower speed so if the one minute person went with the ten minute person, it would take a total of ten minutes.

Since there is only one flashlight, one person must come back across the bridge, then another pair can cross. They only have 17 minutes to cross the bridge and still get to the meeting on time.

What order should they cross to get everyone across and get to A2K on time

So,,, how are you?

Some of you may know one of my favorite writers is E.A.Poe. He wrote ?'The Raven'

First verse…

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'



New version.…

Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary,
over many a strange and spurious site of 'hot xxx galore'.
While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"Tis not possible!", i muttered, "give me back my free hardcore!"-
quoth the server, 404.

Patience is a virtue, besides I have blocked my pm to avoid all the spam.

So what do you do with your Sundays?


"Did you get the power" of a CheWoWa?"

Jo, don't underestimate yourself, I am sure you have many wonderful qualities!


There I was sitting on the front porch wondering; in how many ways can the number 2007 be written as the sum of consecutive positive integers

i"n how many ways can the number 2007 be written as the sum of consecutive positive integers"


As many as The smartest (most creative anything) can make up.? Not much of an answer is it? (infinite).

[size=7]Including 1, which isn't consecutive I see 6---well 5 not including 1
0th is 1 and is 2007
1st consecutive is 2 and starts with 1003
2nd is 3 and starts with 668
3rd is 6 and starts with 332
4th is 9 and starts with 219
5 th is 18 and starts with 103[/size]
