Though the original answer is suppose to be a post man your answer can also be correct Shaolin

New one:
It goes up, but at the same time goes down. Up toward the sky, and down toward the ground. It's present tense and past tense too, come for a ride, just me and you. What is it?

Each man ended up spending $9 for a total of $27, plus a $2 tip... where did the other dollar go?

the 3 peeps paid 30$. realise price was rlly 25$. the bellhop takes back 5. give 1 to each guy. thats 3. add 3 to 25.....28....bellhop keeps 2 for himself.....28+2 = 30....gg....gg

You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth

You ask one door this question:

"If I were to ask the other door about which door leads to the city of truth, what would it tell me?"

You then take the opposite door to the answer you are given.

And now a riddle from me...

I am just two and two
I am hot, I am cold
I am the parent of numbers that cannot be told
I am a gift beyond measure
As a matter of course
And I'm yielded with pleasure
When not taken by force

What am I?

Wrong.

The arguement about this riddle went on for about 15 minuts in IRC until Phy provided the link to explain why you as well as everyone else like yourself were wrong

I forgot the link though and am to lazy to search for it

Glad Baasje · Dec 04, 2006, 04:33 PM // 16:33

just think clearly

its easy, though i already knew the answer

the 3 guys paid $30 , and got $3 back, so they paid $27

where did the $27 go?
25 to the owner, 2 to the other guy.
25+2 = 27

everyone makes the same mistake, that you should get 30

[DE] · Dec 04, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

Yes that is obvious, but the question asks where the other dollar went.
(Which the answer is stupid [being that he paid in change and so there was no other dollar]) x_X

Let's just let that riddle die, Phy obviously wasn't thinking straight when posting it!

Given five zeroes, using any mathematical operations, can you make a total of 120?

nope you can only use the zeros and any mathematical function to attain the answer.

and yes it is possible

Factorial ftw!

0! = 1

so 0! + 0! + 0! + 0! + 0! = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

5! = 120

but but wait...

How much dry dirt (in pounds) and sand (in pounds) is there in a hole that is 9.3 ft deep, and 91.7 inches in diameter located in Australia, non-desert area, ground level and at 23C outside temperature, also with no wind or rain ?

nice and easy

If it's a hole, then I would think that there are 0lbs of dirt and 0lbs of sand in it

you are correct grasshopper

told you it was easy

ok try this one

On a table are two iron rods- one blue, one red. Other than their color, the only difference between them is that one is a magnet. Their weight, size, and feel are identical. Also on the table are:

A glass of water
A 5 1/4" floppy disk
A spool of thread
Assuming you only have the above mentioned items to work with, what is the easiest method to determine which rod is the magnet?

Cebe · Dec 05, 2006, 04:48 PM // 16:48

Magnets have 2 poles but in the middle the two poles cancel out. Whichever bar sticks to the other's middle means it is the magnet. No need for the random pieces of crap.

*shakes head*
silly wammo.

ok, another:
"My name incorporates the word "Lord" which means I must be a wammo...who am I?"

Lord Cooper · Dec 05, 2006, 04:51 PM // 16:51

hehe yep the random pieces of crap were just distraction. stick the 2 bars in a "T" formation. if they stick the upright is the magnet if they dont the crossbar is the magnet.
the magnetic field of a bar magnet is such that it is very strong at each end (the poles) and virtually non existent in the centre. therefore sticking them in "T" formation is the easiest way to ascertain the magnet
