JediMaster12 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 None? As far as I know those are the only two times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 @D'Albetot - Wrong. Neither, they both burn shorter. And the answer to your question is 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Or is it 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Your right, it is 11. I accidentally added the hour for midnight aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Kered Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yeap, 11. In the basement there are 3 light switches in the off position. Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above. You may move any of the switches, but you may only go up stairs one time. How can you determine which switch controls each light?

Hayden Kered Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 ^^^That sums it up, so I won't post the longer version of the answer. You walk up to a mountain that has two paths. One leads to the other side of the mountain, and the other will get you lost forever. Two twins know the path that leads to the other side. You can ask them only one question. Except! One lies and one tells the truth, and you don't know which is which. So, What do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Dando Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You ask one twin "Which path would the other twin point to if I asked him to indicate the correct one?". If you asked the truth-telling twin, he would know his brother would lie, and so would point down the wrong path. If you asked the liar, he would know his brother is honest and so would again point down the wrong path in order to trick into taking that path and getting lost. Knowing this, you'd know that the correct path was the one that neither of them pointed to, so you'd take that one. I remember a similar riddle in an old Doctor Who episode, Pyramids of Mars. My turn.... A man stopped his car opposite a hotel and immediately knew he was bankrupt. How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 @D'Albetot - You could also ask them what colour is the sky. You will tell immediately which one's lying. @King Dando - He owned the hotel and it was completely burned down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Dando Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 No, if you ask one of them what colour the sky is, you have used up your one and only question. Great that you know which one is lying, but you still have no clue which path to go down .....And no, thats not the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 But in the question he said you don't know which is which, so what do ask? So I was assuming he ment how do you find out which is which. Plus i've heard one like this only it added in the question you have to follow the path the truth teller is covering. So, yeah.

Rabish Bini Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Damn. You are driving a bus which already has 5 people on it, at the next stop you pick up 5 people, at the next 10, at the next 15 etc. The bus can carry a maximum of 110 people.

Kitty Kitty Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Damn. You are driving a bus which already has 5 people on it, at the next stop you pick up 5 people, at the next 10, at the next 15 etc. The bus can carry a maximum of 110 people. What is the name of the bus driver? Whatever YOUR name is, since you are driving. That kind of riddle really only works very well in spoken format. Far too easy when it's written out in front of you. -Kitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Starfire Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Get this one- Mr and Mrs Smith are going to a church to get married. They meet a river that goes for a million miles and its croc infested. How do they get across? PS: They have no boat. Um, Mr. and Mrs. Smith have no need to go to a church to get married, as they're already married. So they don't cross the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
