quiz time

[Bean Bandit]

What is the first number in numerical order that has the letter "a" in it?
example: one, two, three. etc..

[Daenerys]

One Thousand.

[Bean Bandit]

Looks at you suspiciously.... You were looking over my shoulders. Confess up.

[LadyPSerenity]

There went the fun in that one... are there to be more quizzes uhm... like a riddle thread, we had one of those at AGNet... it was a lot of fun.

[Daenerys]

It could be one hundred and one.

[Bean Bandit]

*raises Ai's rep.... even tho I know she was looking thru my monitor

[Daenerys]

Yeah, I was looking through your window into your SOUL man. I can read your thoughts. It's true! When you think, a little window pops up...

Gimmie another one!

[Myrra]

Aaah, I was too late. That could have had me guessing for ages...as I am not good with riddles.

[Daenerys]

Well, I went through 1-10... no A's. Teen has no A's in it, neither did anything else. Hundred didn't. Thousand did, million didn't, billion didn't...

[Bean Bandit]

I used to know a ton of riddles... Anyone got one in the mean time to post here?

[Daenerys]

It's made of wood, it comes in many different sizes and colors, and no matter what, everyone uses it once.

What is it?

[Kewii]

a coffin?

[Die Tod von Euch]

edit: Dang! Klutz beat me to it... *pouts*

[Pig_catapult]

Riddles, eh? I got tons of them! Inner demon! Give them the riddle!



This thing all things devours:
Birds, trees, beasts, flowers;
gnaws iron; bites steel
grinds hard stones to meal;
slays kings, ruins towns,
And beats high mountains down.

[Myrra]

The wind?

[Die Tod von Euch]

time?

[Daenerys]

I think it's the wind too.

And damnit. I suck at posting riddles.

[Die Tod von Euch]

I think it's time, not the wind. Because while the wind does some of those things, it doesn't do all of them. And it certainly doesn't "devour" all of that. It will wear down mountains and rocks and such, yes, but it doesn't go around killing beasts and kings and such. That's why I think it's time. Because time will bring about all of that.

[Daenerys]

Y'know, you sold me. I think it's time now.

[Bean Bandit]

@pig catapult and others. If your going to post a riddle please stay on the board to see it thru. If your posting then going to log off, please save your riddle for when you have time, to let the others know when they are correct. Its not fair to post a riddle then dissapear, when there are people watching the thread and participating.


*Lowers his rep*

Just teasin. lol

[Daenerys]

...--Lowers thier rep--

Grow a spine baby! XD

I can't think of any riddles. None that I actually know the answer to.

[Myrra]

The only one that I can think of is the one the sphinx supposedly asked. But I'm pretty sure everyone knows that one.

[Daenerys]

That's the one I know, but I don't know the answer lol

[Princess Mononoke]

k here ya go

You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark. You have one match. There is a candle and there is a wood burning stove. Which do you light first?

[Myrra]

The match...lol

[Princess Mononoke]

yay you got it!

What is it that gets wetter when it dries?

[Bean Bandit]

Grow a spine baby! XD
I hate admitting to things.... But that was very funny and had me laughing for the first time today. Sad part is... it was directed at me. But it is ok because it was said at the right time to be funny

[Myrra]

A towel...I think.

[Daenerys]

XD

I did lower it, btw.

I would have said the stove... XD I'm so bad at these.

[Princess Mononoke]

yay a towel.

Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.

[Myrra]

Ga!! Why couldn't you stick with the easy ones??

Hmmm...this one's harder...
Oww...my brain hurts...

[Princess Mononoke]

*sings the jeopardy theme song*

[Daenerys]

Something to do with a pet...!

[Kewii]

lol. I think raye pointed out the trick question...

here's one from me:

Never resting, never still.
Moving silently from hill to hill.
It does not walk, run or trot,
All is cool where it is not.

What is it?

[Myrra]

I still haven't a clue...hint, please.

What's with all the hard questions??? You're hurting my poor under-used brain.

[Daenerys]

The sun!

[Princess Mononoke]

sun!

[Myrra]

Aawww, darn it...I should have known...:p

[Princess Mononoke]

eh noone got my last...

I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be.

[Kewii]

the sun is right....and I believe the other one, from mononoke, is also a coffin.

[Daenerys]

sixty.

[Princess Mononoke]

oooh yay you got the coffin one right...

what about the last one?

[Myrra]

hmmm...I'm thinking I should know this....

tricky, tricky....Ga!!! I can't think of any three letter words besides one and few... and I'm pretty sure one isn't the answer. But I don't know that Few is it either.

[Kewii]

wait wait...few, add two letters, is fewer

is that it?

[Daenerys]

Fewer works better than sixty.

[Kewii]

how did you get sixty anyway?

[Princess Mononoke]

your soooo good klutz!

All about, but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held,
No throat, but can be heard.

[Daenerys]

Well it said three letters, so I thought one or two, but then it said you add two and it becomes more, so I was like... sixty.

I might have just read it wrong.


Is THAT one Air? Or Wind rather?

[Myrra]

My brain hurts from all this thinking. It is the weekend after all.

[LadyPSerenity]

Air sounds right.

[Princess Mononoke]

yay air/ wind same thing

[Daenerys]

My brain hurts from all this thinking. It is the weekend after all.That's not quite yet dear sister! Bad excuse XD

Give us another one!

[Myrra]

*laughs* how about now? Is it okay to call it the weekend now?

Hmmm..perhaps I should go search for one? brb

Okay...here's one that I know the answer to:

I have 2 US coins that total 55 cents, and one is not a nickle. What do I have?

[Fabala]

A variation of a favorite riddle of mine ^^

You awaken to find yourself in a room. In this room are two doors, each guarded by a man. These are the only ways to exit the room. Choosing one door will lead to freedom, while choosing the other will lead to certain death. One man can say nothing but the truth. He stands in front of the door to freedom. The other man can say nothing but lies. He stands in front of the door to certain death. You are able to ask one man one question and, based on his answer, select which door you will exit through.

Explain to me what you must say to get out alive.

*Hint* There are several similar ways this can be solved.

[Myrra]

Oh, this is not difficult, Reiako...they way I originally heard it had to do with 2 indian tribes, but anyway...You ask one of them if the other would tell you the door you are at leads to safety. And based on the answer you do the opposite as either way the liar would tell you his door was safe.

[Daenerys]

Two quarters and a canadian dime for the first one...

And I remember that second one from Labrinth, which is funny because that movie reminds me of you, Rei.

[Fabala]

Edit: ^So you've said...though I don't look a thing like her ^^

Well sure, nothing's hard once you've heard it before ^_~


*laughs* how about now? Is it okay to call it the weekend now?

Hmmm..perhaps I should go search for one? brb

Okay...here's one that I know the answer to:

I have 2 US coins that total 55 cents, and one is not a nickle. What do I have?

One isn't a nickle...but the other one IS ;p

[skyler22]

urg my brain hearts @_@

[Daenerys]

OH! I remember that joke now.

[Bean Bandit]

a dime

[Myrra]

Reiako, nothing gets by you. *laughs* That one is just simple logic, like the riddle about the match, the candle and the stove earlier.

One is a fifty cent piece and the other a nickle. I just said that one was not a nickle.

[skyler22]

urm explain please

[Fabala]

This one is easy, but the wording is nice ^^

Always old, sometimes new
Never sad, sometimes blue
Never empty, sometimes full
Never pushes, always pulls
What is it?

[Daenerys]

The ocean?

[Myrra]

Aaaahhh, my head...that is not an easy one.

*laughs* I can't think of anything.
*edit* Oh, tankies Ai!! I have it! The moon!!!

[Fabala]

The ocean?

No, but you're on the right track ^^

[Die Tod von Euch]

The moon!!

Edit: My roommate figured it out, not me...

[Fabala]

That's my girl XDDD

Edit: Close enough
Edit II: BOTH my girls ^^

[Myrra]

Awww, man! I need to learn to edit faster. That, and concentrate on doing one thing at a time...lol

[Daenerys]

Damn! I was close.. ;_;

[Die Tod von Euch]

He's not a girl, he's a cute asian guy.

edit: he typed that

Edit edit: He now says that he wants more riddles, or he will beat um...everyone? o_O With a hampster corpse.

[Fabala]

Cute? XD Would he like another?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

What is the next line?

[Daenerys]

I want more too! Post post! (Cos I don't have any)


111331112?

[skyler22]

okey i have one urm
you have a chicken, some corn, and a fox you have to take them one at a time across a brige with out one eating the other as you do so how do you do it? and no all you have is the chicken corn and fox no rope or anything like that

[Myrra]

skyler, that is easy...first you take the chicken across, then you return and take the corn/grain across. You bring the chicken back across with you and exchange it for the fox and take the fox across. Then you go back for the chicken...ta da


Okay, here's another one:

The following words have a connection. What is it?

Archive Dilly-Dally

Message Bayonet

and on a side note...when did my title change???

[Daenerys]

I don't get the question Raye

[skyler22]

urg we have three diffrent riddles

[Princess Mononoke]

ooooh i get it... but i had to look it up... i wont tell

[Fabala]

Not quite, Aies my dear ^^

Raye's is that each contains a, er...oh, herb ^^;; Hard h if you're Australian. Weird because I always think of them as bay leaves =/

[Pakachu]

"Archive Dilly-Dally

Message Bayonet"
connection is that they all have the letter "a" in them?

[Myrra]

Ooops..see, I'm trying to do too many things at once.
Ai, it's a Mensa test. The 4 words have something in common
You'll need to look inside of the words to discover what it is.

*edit* Ga!!! I hate editing...*laughs*
Reiako has the answer! You must be Mensa material!

[Die Tod von Euch]

11133122211

Edit: and I figured that out all on my own...he couldn't figure it out, even after I explained it. That is...if I'm right.

[Daenerys]

I think this one's way out of my leauge.

[Fabala]

11133122211

Edit: and I figured that out all on my own...he couldn't figure it out, even after I explained it. That is...if I'm right.

Nope, sorry ^^ Though you do have the first 4 numbers correct. A hint: There are 10 digits in the answer.

[Myrra]

1113112221

[skyler22]

okey i fell so left out and ignored -_-

[Fabala]

Don't feel left out. Take a stab at something not yet answered or post your own.


1113112221

Nope ^^

This is why I like this one...

[Myrra]

You're killing me here, Reiako. I am so not Mensa material. Super genius I am not. 1113122211?

[Fabala]

Sorry, no ^^;
Look for meaning in the numbers, not just a pattern ^_~

[skyler22]

erg i know i can get this 1113422112

[Die Tod von Euch]

A MEANING in the numbers? Huh? Do what? What do they mean? Arg!!! >_<

Edit: Please give us a hint on the meaning? There's me, my roommate, and our friend all working on it and we're stumped.

[Fabala]

Nope, sorry...that's not it either ^^

I mean look at each line as it corresponds with the others. (That could give it away)

[Myrra]

Meaning??? At 00.30?? Mon Dieu! I might as well search for the meaning of life.

[Fabala]

XD

Well, if you have a guess at either, do let me know.

[Die Tod von Euch]

1113213211

[Myrra]

Cute? XD Would he like another?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

What is the next line?
1113331222
grrr...it should add up to 21...as that should be the next number in the sequence, but I can't figure this out!

[Fabala]

Yay! I knew you were brilliant XDD

Edit: the death of you got it ^^ Care to tell them how the pattern goes?

[skyler22]

okey it goes
1
12
2< 1+1 so am i on the right track at lest

[Die Tod von Euch]

No no no... It's like this.
1
so there's one 1 (11)

so, from 13112221, there one 1, one 3, two 1s, three 2s, and one 1, so you have 1113213211

[Myrra]

Your hint was quite helpful as it's the that dude's sequence...I can say it, but I can't spell it. Fib...Fibinace? Or whatever...

[Pakachu]

No no no... It's like this.
1
so there's one 1 (11)

so, from 13112221, there one 1, one 3, two 1s, three 2s, and one 1, so you have 1113213211
say what?! @_@...?

[Die Tod von Euch]

Each line is telling you what the line before it had. The first line has a 1, so the second line says that there was one 1 (11). The third line then says that there was two 1s (21). So, the forth says that there was one 2 and one 1, so you have 1211. Get it?

[Pakachu]

Ooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanx for breaking it down for the slow people(aka me^__^;; )

[Die Tod von Euch]

No prob, hon. ^_~

Um...here's one...not too good, but...meh..

"I'm white & used for cutting & grinding. When I'm damaged, humans usually remove me or fill me. For most animals I am a useful tool.
What am I?"

[Daenerys]

No prob, hon. ^_~

Um...here's one...not too good, but...meh..

"I'm white & used for cutting & grinding. When I'm damaged, humans usually remove me or fill me. For most animals I am a useful tool.
What am I?"Wait, Teeth. or bone.

[Die Tod von Euch]

Yup, teeth! ^_^ Very good, Ai.

[Pakachu]

What question is only right if you're walking east?

[Die Tod von Euch]

Which way is south?

[ShadowBlade]

look north and turn around

the answer is whatever number is used by computers to put in the letter "A" i think its 12 or 20 or somthin

[vhinnnn]

o t t f f s s_ _ _

what are the next 3 letters in this sequence

[ShadowBlade]

u c k:badrazz:

[Pakachu]

Which way is south?
yup,
kinda lame i know, too frickn tired to think of anything good^^()

[Eris]

What is the first number in numerical order that has the letter "a" in it?
example: one, two, three. etc.. Assuming you're geek enough and know hex, it's aigh (a).
But it could also be "one and a half"


What's the next number in the series
10, 5, -4, -10, -7, 3, 7, 8, -2, -9

[Pig_catapult]

Very sorry for taking so long!! Scatter-brained person that I am, it completely slipped my mind! But the answer to my riddle is time. *gives out cookies to people who got it right*

[Die Tod von Euch]

*gets a cookie and looks at Eudial's riddle* Another number sequence one?... Er... Ok, I'll work on it a little later...not really in the right mind set to focus on that right now.
