Set the two rods in a T shape. Red as the vertical one, blue as the horizontal one. If the two bars stick together, the red bar is the magnet. If they don't stick together, the blue bar is the magnet. The other items on the table are not necessary to solve this puzzle


EDIT: Darn - I was late. Oh well

your name incorporates the word beaver so following your own logic you must be a small furry animal..

Anyone fancy trying the riddle I posed back on page 2? It doesn't look like anyone's tried to answer it yet

a kiss..

I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
Yet I can be found in everybody;
My existence is always in debate;
Yet I have my own style of music.
What Am I?

Must be Prince Rurik

*Old time classic*

Which will fall faster? 10grams of feathers or 10grams of iron?

Both the same.

That explains why Beaver has a character called Crispy Strips then, must of been a bit of wammo loving going on

How much wammo loving does it take for bacon and crispy strips to make before they make a double bacon quarter pounder with cheese?

That takes a long time.


If you want one it will cost you at least 500 ectos.

How many slices of 1.5mm bread can you cut from a whole loaf that is 36mm long?

A soul

Though don't Ritualists summon the souls of their ancestors with their binding rituals, in a way? Surely that must end the debate mentioned in your riddle

Mmmkay...First we must ask ourselves WHO is going to buy a loaf of bread like this? Answer: Pixies.

Let's assume the average width of a knife is 2 mm, mmmkay?

Say, the length of a human loaf is 3000mm?

That means that the equivalent pixie knife is 0.024mm thick.

1.5+0.024 = 1.524. Divide 36 by that and you get 23.6

23.6 slices


Unfortunately that is not the answer. Answer is 1. That's crap in comparison.

After the many hints I gave you O unwise Beaver you are correct at last. Even though you just guessed the answer and since you gave me a load of numbers with random reasoning I guess you had to get it right sooner or later :P

Reasoning - After you cut 1 slice the loaf is no longer whole.

Lemme guess a Wammo?

Not so much a riddle as a logic question, but then aren't riddles logic questions anyway?

You are playing Let's Make a Deal with Monty Hall. There are three doors, A, B, and C, and you can pick any door to receive what is behind it. Behind two of the doors there is nothing, and behind one is a new car.
You select Door B. Before revealing what is behind it, Monty opens Door C and shows that there is nothing behind it. He then asks if you would like to switch your selected door to Door A. Should you, and why or why not?

Here's another one:

Two guards are guarding a road facing opposite directions, 10 feet away from each other. One guard is deaf, but easily discovered when his partner laughed, and asked "What's so funny?" He was able to ask this because he had mastered the art of speaking without hearing himself. The question to you is this: how did the deaf guard know that his partner laughed?

Don't know the first one... if that game show is real then I've never watched it so I don't have any idea whether it has any impact on the riddle.

Second one is quite easy IMO. They face opposite directions but they don't have to be back to back. I'll try and make a diagram. D is the deaf guy and L is laughing guy. The arrows represent the way they face.


D->________________________________________<-L

Ok, so heres one from me.

A man is in a prison cell. The prison has been abandoned and he cannot contact anyone. The man has nothing to eat or drink, but knows that there is a reliable source of food and water in the cell next to him. The man has nothing except the clothes on his back. The walls, door and window are too hard to break and the only window in his cell is out of his reach (Even if he tied his clothes together, he wouldn't be able to do anything with the window). The door is solid and the man cannot see anything outside his cell. The keys are 3 meters down the corridor. How does the man get to the reliable source of food and water?

EDIT: Picture didn't come out as well as I wanted it to but it will have to do.

Through the toilet.

A termite walks into a bar and says, "Is the bar tender here?"
