Morpheus Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 No. I am halfway between power and nothing- I am halfway between dollar and nothing Some say washington is worth more than me, some say not Washington is on the dollar and the quarter. depending on who you ask, they might come up with one or the other first but franklin and I are one and the same Franklin and JFK are on their own half dollars. Thus, a JFK half dollar is worth the same as franklin Another one: A simple sign of attraction that sings about rock and roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youta moteuchi Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 would that be "plus"? In Chemistry it is related to the atraction of ions, more expecifically to the positive ones and I believe most of the rock'n'roll songs were writen on a mayor chord (is that the right word for it? i didn't study music in english so I just know the names in portuguese... hehe *giggles embarassed*) Did I get it right? * bites his nails axiously* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paco3 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 The answer is gravity. gravity is a force of atraction. If a rock is put on a hill it will roll due to gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O-Ushi Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Warning: these questions are not for the faint of mind. I was wandering around the net today, and came across this question, put forward by Einstein. It's a pure logic questin, but took me a couple of hours to complete. I would suggest you sending me any answers by PM so I can say if they're right or not. [B]Einstein's Riddle[/B] 1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours. 2. In each house lives a person of different nationality 3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet. [B]Who owns the fish? [/B] Facts: 1. The Brit lives in a red house. 2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets. 3. The Dane drinks tea. 4. The Green house is on the left of the White house. 5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee. 6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. 7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill. 8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk. 9. The Norwegian lives in the first house. 10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. 11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill. 12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer. 13. The German smokes Prince. 14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. 15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water Also, here are a few slightly less intense (but much more obscure) lateral thinking questions. 1) Why are 1992 dollar coins worth more than 1991 dollar coins? 2) Romeo and Juliet lay in the middle of the floor. Romeo is dead and Juliet is gasping for breath. There is a puddle on the floor, and some glass. On a high window, a cat watches. What happened? 3) A man is slumping in a phone box. The windows to either side of him are shattered and his hands are bleeding. What happened? 4) By adding 1 line, make 10 10 11 into 10:50 Post if you like them or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darla the Great Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 [color=darkred]I know the answer to the third one:[/color] [spoiler]Romeo and Juliet are fish.[/spoiler] Do you mind if I post my own riddle?

Please keeps on topics; laments about your lack of an online girlfriend don't quite fit with this subject matter. There was a recent thread about riddles; I'm going to merge this with that. And to make things [i]perfectly[/i] clear, I am going to repost the warning from the other thread.[/size] [color=#ff6600]I'm also going to say that I'm going to let this thread go on a condition or two: [b]Extremely short posts are still not acceptable[/b]. If you have a guess, you can just as easily post the explanation for your answer as you can post the answer itself. Please do so. If you want to post a riddle where the answer is little more than a one or two word pun, just post the entire thing, and use the spoiler tag to block out the answer. Example: What's brown and sticky?[/color] [spoiler]A stick.[/spoiler] [color=#ff6600]Posts that encourage pointless posts in reply are just as bad as one word posts themselves.

Blade15 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Now, I've heard a riddle similar to this. Not quite the same, but I'll put the answer anyways. The man was superman and there was Krypotonite in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 [COLOR=Navy]I think I've heard this one before... Was it a Parachute? Because he parachuted out of a plane but then it wouldn't open so he fell to his death. Either that or he picked up something other than his parachute and realised too late. Those are my guesses. ~Ohkami[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Tremaine Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 [color=#503f86]'Lighter', as in cigarette lighter? That would work quite nicely, heh.

Solo Tremaine Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 [color=#503f86]Heh, this one really works better when it's spoken as it's a little obscure, but it's the only one I know.

Sakura Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 [COLOR=Navy]Oh! I think I heard this a long time ago, and I didn't get it. Is the answer; There's no doors and no windows so he can just walk out or climb out through a window. If so, I've got another one, this one's harder. A princess is kidnapped by her cruel uncle, who has planned for her to marry one of his two sons. He gave her an ultimatum - she was to make a solitary statement. If what she said was true, she was to marry her elder cousin johans the Vain, however, if what she said was false, she was to marry the younger son Derek the Dismal. What did she say which allowed her to remain a single girl and explain why? ~Ohkami[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
