Sounds like 9 to the 9th power.

(I don't know how to do superscripts)

Infinity to the Infinity power?

using hexadecimal or base 16 it would be F^F, or F to the F power, or so I believe

9 to the 9th is the "correct" answer for the arabic number system.



But smart-ass answers are more fun:

("digit" is another word for finger.)


I'd pick 8 and 9.

8,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999..... Thats two digits. Only two. Just use those two over and over and over and over. So... depends on the size of your paper.

I suck at math. Errr...not literally.

You guys get the answers before I can read the questions :lol:

Here's an oldie;

You have one 3 litre bottle and one 5 litre bottle. You need exactly 4 litres (no markings on the bottles, can't fill them up half way or whatever). What do you do?

Fill up 3, put in 5. Fill up 3, put in 5 till 5 is full. Empty 5. Put the rest of 3 in 5. Fill up 3, put in 5. 5 now has 4 measured liters.



You can also

Fill up 5, put in 3 till full. Empty 3, put rest of 5 in 3. Fill up 5, put in 3 till full. 5 now has 4 measured liters.

okay you ditch the 3 liter and buy a 2 liter bottle of soda, drink it,
fill it,
pour it into the 5 liter,
use the bathroom,
fill the 2 liter again,
pour it into the fiver liter,
and your done

I've also come up with a riddle of my own,
well not my own, I found it online since I couldn't think of one to post
well anyways here it is:


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?

Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2006 1:03 am
by Pheonixhawk
Hmm... Cast Firaga so you set everything on fire and pray to altana you make it out alive?

Other than that id say Light the wood burning stove. then use the fire from the stove to light a candle. <.> Meh. Or just wait till morning time and find a warm blanket. lol

Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2006 2:03 am
by Tinacat
you light the match first

Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2006 4:49 am
by Pheonixhawk
Oh wow, I really didn't read the riddle. I thought she meant what to light after the match lmao!!!

Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2006 4:57 am
by Tinacat
That is the whole point of that riddle, you just assume you have to pick from just the stove or the candle, and forget the match needs lit first.

The moon one is obvious even without watching Die Hard 3 (saw it last week and couldn't remember that riddle :lol:), dunno about this tall thing with red eyes... I'm guessing the eyes aren't literally eyes but I can't think of anything atm :?
