Correct. That was quick. Another one: 8=5 4=4 5=4 7=5 6=3 3=? Make sure you write your reasoning too so I know you didn't guess. |

*BUMP* Excuse me, but...can someone please help me with this puzzle? Sorry if this has been posted before. There are 5 bags that look the same, each of them contains 5 marbles. One bag is slightly different than the others - it contains marbles that are a bit heavier than the rest. Like, suppose the normal marbles weigh 10 grams each, so a whole bag would weigh 50 grams. The heavier marbles weigh 10,1 grams each, so the one different bag would be 0,5 grams heavier than the normal ones. Now, how do you recognize the heavier bag? There is an ordinary analog scale that can help you...but you may only use it once. Yup, only once. And that's what got me confused in the first place... |

You take one marble from the first one, two from the second, three from the third,... Then, you have to look at the number after the point. If, for example, the third bag contained the heavy marbles, there should be a 3 after the point, because 10.1g*3=30.3g . If the fourth bag contained the heavy marbles, it would weigh 150.4g, since 10g*1+10g*2+10g*3+10.1g*4+10g*5=150.4g . Shortly speaking, if there's a 1 after the point, it was the first bag, if there's a 2, it was the second, if there is a 3, it was the third and so on. |

Okay, I actually liked this thread so I'mma keep it alive. A Woman was walking home from work, when she turned the corner and saw a murder. However, she didn't scream or shout or react to the murder at all, and, no-one was killed in that murder. How is this possible? |

She witnesses a group of crows as she turned the corner. "How old are your three daughters?" A man asks his friend one day. "Well, the product of their ages is 36." "You aren't giving me enough information." The man interjected. "The sum of their ages is the age of your eldest son." "I still need more information!" The man, now angered. "All right. The eldest daughter just learned to play the piano. She's quite good." "Ah, now I know how old your daughters are. Thank you for your time." The man tipped his hat, and left his friend. How old are the three daughters? |

The answer was one. Correct! A criminal is being sent to his death. He's given three choices of rooms to go in to die. The first room is filled with flames that would incinerate him. The second room is filled with lions that haven't eaten in three years. The third room is filled with poison gas that will suffocate him. Which room has the highest likelihood of him surviving, and why? |

The room with lions that haven't eaten in three years, because that's a room of dead lions right there. Then he can fashion some lionhide clothes, and use their meat for sustenance on his daring escape. Perhaps turn some of their bones into swords. Okay, the meat's probably rotten away by now, as is the hide, and the bones aren't so hard anymore, unless the room is a freezer. This is all irrelevant, he's at least surviving that room. |

And, the shards are unrelated? Maybe Beatrice was strangled, not stabbed. I suck at these.
