2.There are three errers in the statement of this problem. You must detect all of them to recieve full credit.

2. Errers should be errors. Recieve should be receive. There were only two errors in the problem, but it says there are three. That is the third mistake.

Vamp, you are correct.


Maxwell, you are correct for the second.

Uh, 1000 cigarettes. It says she can "make and smoke 1 cigarette from every 10 cigarettes", but it does not say she has to.

She can smoke 1 cigarette. The original amount decreases by powers of 10 as she makes more cigarettes. Thus, 1000 cigs turns into 100 cigs, which turns into 10 cigs and then 1 cig.

And I'll start one off...

A man with a horse rides into town on Tuesday, stays for three days, and leaves on Tuesday. How did he do it?

1111 cigs


1000 cigarettes
Made 100 cigs from that
10 from that
1 from that

Nice job Andre. I asked him in person the answer because I thought I had it and he told me it was 1111. I guess I just read it wrong because I had the right idea going, although it wasn't very well written in the first place, right Creeper?

Tsukasa is correct about my riddle.

Aside from the riddle at hand, the last one was still rather poorly written, and let's not rule out that I left my idea for solving the previous riddle for others to read and profit from.

Anyway, for the new riddle kingofthemat has proposed...

He can take a different number of coins from each pile and weigh these together. He will know a counterfeit pile exists if the measured mass is less than the calculated mass, and he'll know which pile by how much less the measured mass is than the calculated mass. The difference between the two values is the number of coins multiplied by the counterfeit mass deficit, thus identifying the pile from which the counterfeit coins were taken.

For example, 1 coin was taken from pile 1, 2 from pile 2, 3 from pile 3, and so on, until 10 coins are taken from pile 10. The calculated mass for these coins would then be 55.00g (55 coins * 1.00g). Say the measured mass turns out to be 54.75g. The difference between the two masses is 0.25g. Divide that by 0.05g and you get 5 coins, which would have been taken from pile 5, the counterfeit pile.

If it's about the drinks, I suppose that rules out lactose intolerance and brainfreeze?

Both drinks were actually acid.


The first guy drank it quickly, allowing the acid to go down his throat quickly without much harm done.

The second guy drank it slowly, allowing more chances for the acid to wreck its havoc.

What weighs more, one pound of feathers or one pound of gold?

[20:17] <Duckeh> I didn't agree to anything, I just pressed a box that said I did

they weigh the same. I'll edit my post with a new riddle soon



EDIT:



How many 5-digit numbers are there that do not contain the numbers 3 and 5, and are multiples of 4?
(It cannot start with 0, ie. 01234 is not a 5 digit number)

THat actually isn't the answer.
