Bex Delicate Flower	posted 04-02-2001 20:14 420) One of each cross first leaving 2 missionaries (M) and 2 cannibals (C) The C comes back, picks up a C and drops him off on the other side. So we have CM and CMM with a C in the canoe. Then the C brings over another M giving us CMM and CM. The C goes and gets the last M, carries him across, leaving CMMM and a C on the other side. Then the two C's come over together. The only flaw I see in this is if the poor cannibal carting everyone around hops out of the canoe when he has one C and one M on the shore and eats up. One would hope he's too tired though. IP: Logged

Der Senfmeister unregistered	posted 04-02-2001 20:57 Bex: that isn't it. A cannibal in a canoe counts as a cannibal on whichever side it lands on. My AP chem teacher gave this to our class in 11th grade (three years ago), and we all worked on it for just about the whole period. Not surprisingly, few of us passed the AP test. I got a 5. =) But anyway, I'm pretty sure that I got the problem right, and I don't remember there being any tricks. I can't for the life of me remember the answer though. =/ IP: Logged
Demon-of-Elru TFC Bitch	posted 04-02-2001 20:58 Nein Jimbo. You are all looking too deeply into that riddle. Or are you not looking deep enough..? IP: Logged

Demon-of-Elru TFC Bitch	posted 04-02-2001 21:15 whoo hoo.. good job Deez One left... the infamous #12 so you know what that means.... Bex, since you didnt want this to end. 17:]This is as light as a feather, but no man can old it for long. 18:]If you break me, I'll not stop working. If you can touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. WHat am I? 19:]Where can you find roads with no cars, forests without trees, and cities without houses? 20:]Cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind the stars and beneath hills. Ends life and kills laughter. What is it? IP: Logged
Der Senfmeister unregistered	posted 04-02-2001 21:17 Okay, I just went and looked up the 420 solution (I can do that, it's my riddle dammit!). I got the problem right, though I neglected to mention that the canoe must have at least one person per trip. But, that's kinda obvious. There is a solution, and there aren't any sneaky tricks involved. IP: Logged

Bitchgoddess battin' .500	posted 04-02-2001 23:12 420) two cannibals go over, one comes back,takes the last cannibal over, comes back, now we have 3 missionaries and a cannibal on one side, and two cannibals on the other, two missionaries go over, now we have one of each on one side, and two of each on the other. One cannibal and one missionary get on the boat and go back to the other side, the cannibal gets out and the other missionary gets in and goes over to the other side. We now have 2 cannibals on one side, and 3 missionaries and 1 cannibal on the other, the cannibal gets back in the boat and ferries the other two across. I think I just confused myself... ------------------ ~Bitch~ IP: Logged

Der Senfmeister Member with a member	posted 04-02-2001 23:33 good job Bitchgoddess. Here's another one: You are standing by a river with a 5-gallon jug and a 3-gallon jug, but you need exactly 4 gallons of water. Using only the 2 jugs you have, how can you measure out 4 gallons? IP: Logged
eod TREAT MERIGHT!	posted 04-02-2001 23:54 Take the 5 gallon jug and fill it up. Then pour it into the 3 gallon. You now have 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. Empty the 3 gallon jug. Now pour the 2 gallons into the 3. Fill the 5 gallon jug full. Pour out until the 3 gallon jug (which already has 2 gallons) is full. Now you have 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.. Right? IP: Logged
InThrees unregistered	posted 04-02-2001 23:57 eyelashes or eyelids are invisible (for all intents and purposes), yet always within sight. Fill the 5 gallon jug full. J5: 5 gallons. J3: empty. Pour 3 gallons into the J3 jug, leaving two in J5. J5: 2 gallons. J3: 3 gallons. Mark the level on the J5 jug, so you know where the 2 gallon level is. Pour the 3 gallons from J3 out on the ground for your dead homies. Pour 2 gallons from J5 into J3. Fill J5 to the 2 gallon mark. Pour 2 gallons from J3 into J5, for a total of 4 gallons. -3 IP: Logged
InThrees unregistered	posted 04-02-2001 23:58 I guess since I was assuming the jugs were clear, eod's answer is better. Sigh. -3 IP: Logged
Jimbo 1 dr3w j00 4 p1ggy!	posted 04-03-2001 01:13 20. Entropy? Incidentally, I hereby declare the "invisible but always in sight" riddle bullshit, and satisfactorily answered in several different ways already. Fucker's too vague; it has to be narrowed down enough that only one answer fits. IP: Logged
Jimbo 1 dr3w j00 4 p1ggy!	posted 04-03-2001 01:14 Or you might have been going for "silence" for #20, come to think of it, but I kinda like my physics geek answer better. edit: or you might have been going for "death", which is really more of a specialized sense of entropy anyway...

fenomas argument nazi	posted 04-03-2001 03:45 Jimbo's right... #12 could be "one's obligations" for all the riddle states, right? Or "coming years", or "next year's taxes".... fen IP: Logged
Jimbo 1 dr3w j00 4 p1ggy!	posted 04-03-2001 09:35 ... or "gravity waves", "sonic pulses", "photons outside the visible light spectrum", "tachyons" ... or even "people's genitals." Of course, that last one is assuming you're not living in a nudist colony, but what the hey. IP: Logged
Demon-of-Elru TFC Bitch	posted 04-03-2001 13:52 Bex got #19 right... as for #12.. time to shut that bitch down The answer (as stupid as it may be) are the letters "i" and "s" those 2 letters are the letters that people often miss when they have to count how many of them there are(at least that's what my friend says) I see the answer of the riddle taken this way : When you read words, you are looking at the word and not the individual letters which make the word. So they are "invisible". They are never out of sight, because if you take "s" and "i" out of "sight" then you can't spell it. Stupid, yes, but it works.. I guess.... #18 is still unanswered. Starting a new thread for the next batch(es) of riddles. [This message has been edited by Demon-of-Elru (edited 04-03-2001).] IP: Logged
Jimbo 1 dr3w j00 4 p1ggy!	posted 04-03-2001 15:41 Demon-of-Elru: your #12 only works as a SPOKEN riddle - the letters "i" and "s" are IN the word VISIBLE, not "invisible." That riddle's supposed to be a play on the listener's assumptive interpretation of the wrong homophone. IP: Logged
