The worlds first riddle!

Yeah.... course it is!!!!! <er....er....er...er.....er...>



Gosh, I thought that said duet!



Nah, not with my singing. Little or no chance, I reckon.



"Will'e' um Tell!" said Maid Marion to Robin Hood.



<oh mark... i am so not that clever...not even a shot in the dark..... much, much much more simple!>

Izzie and Try are going to have a duel where they alternate shots - Izzie goes first - until one is hit.
The probability of Izzie hitting her target is always 1/7.
Try has the unique ability to set his probability (anything between 0 and 1) ahead of time - it remains constant after it is set.
Being the gentleman that he is, Try selects a value that gives each of them a 50/50 chance for survival.

What probability does Try select for himself? In other words, to make it a fair duel, what is the probability of Try hitting his target on each shot?






Try, overcome at the thought of pumping one into Izzie, elects to play Russian Roulette with a 6 gun that he hands to Izzie for her to use on herself lest she miss. Meanwhile, Try stands to attention in the firing line, in the fervent hope that she gets two shots off.

Bingo!

Ugh!

TIZ a half equal to one seventh of (a seventh plus T minus a seventh of T) for T equal to a sixth, IZ what it is. Such an even handed to try for an even number .

What she ^ said.

I can't prove jove is jovial and so I have a riddle.

If it's, " ... kings many things ...", what is the colour of ?

....is the answer in there ^?

Let us rejoice and all the angels in heaven as yet another sweet soul has received the savior and will reside in heaven and the new earth one day, as we welcome Slippy back on board the Mary Celeste.

Group hug for Izzie, Jove and TTH; a handshake for Mark will suffice.

“If it's, " ... kings many things ...", what is the colour of ?”

How about: Cabbages?


Talking about boats…

The speed of the Mary Celeste in still water is 15 mi/hr. If the boat travels 8 miles downstream in the same time it takes to travel 4 miles upstream, what is the speed of the current

Hi 5. Speed times the colour of time TTH mph, while Try goes gently down the stream.

I was thinking more like incense and peppermints is the color of thyme.

I got 5 mph, let c= speed of current.
8/15 + c = 4/15 - c
8(15 - c) = 4(15 + c)
120 - 8c = 60 + 4c
120 - 60 = 4c + 8c
60 = 12c
c = 60/12
c = 5
.....that also means that the boat is traveling 20mph downstream and 10mph upstream

Maybe Nessiy's family home.

Hiya TTH, how's things?

Hi Stormwatch
Well, still breathing so that is a good thing. Safari kept crashing and had to use Firefox. Finally figured out how to stop Safari from crashing and I am using it again. I prefer Safari.
Hope everything is going well for you and the other riddle members.

In and out mostly, what with all the breathing.

Hi Try, <waves in real life>.

you're thread is 4 + 1 today! Hi5 Blue

Thank you Izzie for the surprise; I have been somewhat remiss in my attendance here; I hope for more time next year.

In the meantime may I wish you all a happy festival and great New Year!
