Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:36 pm  Here's #9: Born Motherless and Fatherless, Into this world without a sin Made a load roar as I entered And never spoke again |
Katie | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:37 pm  Dagnabit!lol |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:38 pm  will someone repost the teeth brushing one? i can't find it? |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:38 pm  Ocean!!! Yes...I guess you got us with that one. Although I heard WHAT is the third word. To me that means "what" IS the third word. Hmmmph. |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:39 pm  OK come on WCV... say more (I am still thinking, geesh we are so many behind now.) The city one, the motherless one, the "nasty" one..... |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:39 pm  Think of words ending in 'gry'. Angry and hungry are two of them." The first two lines are a trick and mean nothing to the puzzle. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The third word in "the english language is LANGUAGE." The word is something that everyone uses every day. You use LANGUAGE every day if you talk. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is." The word LANGUAGE appears in the puzzle. (that is the one i found on the internet) |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:40 pm  What do you sit on, sleep on and brush your teeth with? |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:41 pm  hmm... sit on hands, brush your teeth with hands... but surely you wouldn't sleep on them??? |
Whit4you | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:43 pm  W 1) Adam had none. Eve had two. Everyone nowadays has three. What? (thinking if we plan to keep this going we should number our teasers with say W9 for me O9 for Ocean so we know who's answering which question LOL |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:43 pm  If you ask him which way to to go and go with the one he tells you..... since if he lied he would tell you the opposite one and if he was telling you the truth he would be telling you the right one.... they should be the same one??????? |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:44 pm  Why didn't you guys tell me to take my ginkgo biloba today? |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:45 pm  but if you asked him where the honest one is and he was a liar he would point you towards the liars and if you asked him where the liar on is...oh ASK him which one is the LIAR one! then that will work! cuz if he lies you get the honest one...wait, no that doesnt work either. |
Whit4you | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:47 pm  W 2) Make eight eight's equal one thousand |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:48 pm  And that motherless/fatherless one.... geesh, I have no clue.... but I am still thinking. |
Tukuul | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:48 pm  # 9.5: Ok, I've arranged 9 toothpicks like this. Now, with only moving one toothpick, change it from this peculiar geometric shape into a profile of Rod Serling. (no hints please) |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:48 pm  WCV... where are your snappy answers now? |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:50 pm  I got one i got one! 888+88+8+8+8=1000! |
Whit4you | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:50 pm  Sbw Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:43 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you ask him which way to to go and go with the one he tells you..... since if he lied he would tell you the opposite one and if he was telling you the truth he would be telling you the right one.... they should be the same one??????? SBW chalk up another one... Ask, "Which road leads to the city you are from?". If the man is from the honest city, he will tell you the truth and point to it. If the man is from the city where everyone lies, then he will lie about where he lives, so will also point to the honest city. So either way you will get there! |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:50 pm  I have nothing snappy to respond with....I have run out of snappiness...I'm snappiless (if that is a word) BUT I'm still thinking so maybe they will be non-snappy but ultimately correct answers...although I wouldn't bet on it! |
Whit4you | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:51 pm  Jana - YUP |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:52 pm  Very funny Tuk. I leave math/numbering puzzles to others! I've heard the honest/lying man one before but can't remember the answer. I'll answer #9 at quarter past the hour. That leaves 25 some minutes. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:52 pm  Tukuul: I did it!! I really did. See? I took the left toothpick..well anyway just look. I am sooo proud of myself! |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:53 pm  WCV... you were answering them faster than I could read them! Good one Jana. |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 05:53 pm  (i figured that it was adding and that it would take 8 fives to end in a zero and work from there....i am one of the only people in this world that LIKES math i think!) |
