Sounds like 9 to the 9th power.

(I don't know how to do superscripts)

Infinity to the Infinity power?

Post by **Leane** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 12:00 pm

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

"Infinity" isn't a number

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.

Hmm...shouldn't it be 9,888,888,888,888......and so on?

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

The question mark does.

Answer to #1 is G, if by everything you mean the word everything.

And #2, the letter M.

You guys get the answers before I can read the questions

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?

Tinacat · Post by **Tinacat** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 4:07 pm

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

Eviticus You got the answers right ^_^

as for Sugami's Riddle, that one was nice. Too bad Tina got it before I figured it out

How about this riddle.

How many Keavy's does it take to Pwn Pheonixhawk?

The answer: Infinity. Keavy can never pawn me.

Ok now for a real Riddle.

What is round, but not always round. Its sometimes light, sometiimes dark, sometimes both. It's full but not always full.

*This came from a certain movie. Bonus points if you solve the riddle and name the movie

Post by **Leane** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:46 am

Pheonixhawk · Post by **Pheonixhawk** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:52 am

Yep its the Moon, and the Movie was Die Hard 3 ^^ (Gives Kiri~onna and Leane a bag of Catnip and some Fishkabobs.)

Post by **Leane** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:57 am

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?

Pheonixhawk · Post by **Pheonixhawk** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 1:03 am

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

Tinacat · Post by **Tinacat** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 2:03 am

you light the match first

Pheonixhawk · Post by **Pheonixhawk** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 4:49 am

Oh wow, I really didn't read the riddle. I thought she meant what to light after the match lmao!!!

Tinacat · Post by **Tinacat** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 4:57 am

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.

Kiri~onna · Post by **Kiri~onna** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 6:11 am

The moon one is obvious even without watching Die Hard 3 (saw it last week and couldn't remember that riddle

), 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

What falls but never breaks, and what breaks but never falls?
