Well, I don't see any ''F''s in ''this sentence'' :will:

3; one of each color.

Oh, and this has been stated before, but the answer to Meenyman's riddle is 2. There are two "F"s in "How many "F"s can you find in this sentence?".

EDIT: I'll go ahead and add another riddle :will:
Two fathers and two sons walk into a store. They buy some things that total $33.33. They decide to split it up equally, and they all pay the same amount. How is this possible? Remember, they paid EXACTLY the same amount!
Say, that reminds me of a puzzle! Have you ever heard this one, Luke?

You could also have 2, as long as none of them are green, blue, or purple.

No, it is not a trick question. Mina-Chan is correct, there are 6 of them. According to where I got this from, people tend to miss the "F"s in the word "of".

That is correct.

1. I have 3 American coins in my pocket that total $0.40, and one of them is not a nickel. What are the coins?

2. 32 white "horses" on a red hill: first they chomp, then they stomp, then they stand still. What are the "horses"?

Yess, you're right, my precioussss (although, technically the answer to #2 is "Teethses, my preciousss", but...)
Here are some easy ones:
1. Two trains travel along the same track at the same speed. One train takes ninety minutes to get from "Point A" to "Point B", but the other train takes one hour and thirty minutes to get from "Point A" to "Point B". Why?
2. Why can't an airplane depart at six sixty-six PM?

Your red coat is super heavy, because 60 minutes + 20 minutes is 80 minutes, which is WAY longer than 80 minutes.

Random trick.

Go to a open doorway and stand under it facing the open room, not the wall.
Stand with your legs shoulder with apart and place the backs of your hands on the doorway with your arms straight.
push continuously on the doorway as if you're trying to push the doorway apart. Do so for 30 seconds then step foreward.

your arms should life up by themselves

Too easy, I know...

I knew I would take the trigger riddle wrong... uhm... rewind: one, because the other revolved wasn't touched, so no shot "leaves" and that would mean that no shot "remains" then, so the other revolver is not useful for our puzzle... so, we need to count just the last shot in the first revolver.

Or the easier and apparently most logical answer: seven shots remain.

A crazy lunatic has abducted 10 people. He has them stand in a line, with each person facing the preceding person's back. On each person he puts either a white or black hat. He goes from the last person to the first person, and asks each person what color hat he is wearing. If the person says the correct color, he is let free, otherwise he is immediately shot. Devise a strategy to save the greatest number of people.

Notes:
-The 10 people can communicate beforehand and know exactly what the lunatic will do, and thus can come up with a group strategy. (As an individual strategy can't really do anything xD)
-Each person can see the color of the hats of every person before him. So the last person can see every hat except his own, and the first person can't see any hats. Person 7 can see the hat of person 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, but not the hat of 7, 8, 9, or 10.
-The people are not allowed to do anything except say "white" or "black" while on line, and only when it is their turn. If anyone does anything else, they all are killed.
-Everyone in line can hear what the other players say about their hat color, and whether they are shot.

Have the first one say the colour of the person after him. Have the second one save his own skin, but in a different tone of voice depending on whether the next one has the same colour or not (for instance, he'll be crying while saying it if the next one doesn't have the same colour). Repeat the operation until the last one, and you'll save either 9 or 10. Or maybe I didn't read the problem properly, I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it to be honest ;p Also, there's probably another, simpler way, considering the fact you've given clues I haven't used in my solution. I'll try and come up with it if I have time.

Someone might misinterpret that tone of voice thing, and say the wrong color, so it's hard to say how many people it will save, although it's a nice idea ;) If you have the odd people say the hat of the next person, that will save at least 5 people.

In (my) solution, there is zero subjectivity (like tone of voice).


Also, don't rule out the possibility of extraneous information :P

And about the crazy guy: SEE THE REFLEX OF YOUR HAT IS HIS CRAZY EYES! If you can.

...What? (btw, no matter what you do, you can't see the color of your own hat. And any way that you could see it would be too noticeable, and the lunatic would kill all of you.)
I know that this strategy is impossible: it's an individual strategy, and we need a team one... Layton, please, from the highness of your hat, help us and the victims of the lunatic!

Critical thinking is the key to success!

Have the last person in line say the colors of all the people in front of him in a certain order (either first to last or last to first). Then all the other people will know their hat color, and nine people will survive.
Say, that reminds me of a puzzle! Have you ever heard this one, Luke?

Okay, I guess I wasn't clear enough on that.

When it's your turn, you can say "black" or you can say "white." No more, no less.

Uhm, the number of black hats is the same of white hats (5 and 5)?

I've got a puzzle!
In a village some terrible murderes are happening due of werewolves (or a werewolf, we don't know). So, the local counsil decide that every werewolf have to kill him/herself... but, obviously, the werewolf him/herself doesn't know he/she is a werewolf. The first full moon there are other murderes, but no one kills him/herself. The second full moon night other people are killed but no one suicides him/herself. The third full moon other people die, but the next morning the bodies of some hanged people are found in the land, with the bloody sentence "WE WERE WEREWOLVES".
How many were they and, more important, how they discovered they were werewolves?
Oh, and that village has a curse of their water and mirrors: they can't see their own reflex. And there is another curse, due always of werewolves, so they can't go to another village and see if they are werewolves or not.
They're not ended: the third curse is that no one can talk to anyone, except in the counsil, that takes place in the daylight. And with "talk to", I mean they can't speak or use gestual alphabeth.

About my riddle: There is no set number of black and white hats. It could be 10 white and no black, or 10 black or not white, or 5 and 5, or any other combination. (The solution is actually pretty simple xD Not easy, but simple :P)

Spoiler: solution to yours
3 werewolves. I will call them A, B, and C.

This is what happened from A's point of view: He sees that B and C are werewolves. He also knows that B and C know that the other are werewolves.

The first night passes. Nobody kills themselves. A knows that B and C each other were werewolves; if they had seen no werewolves, by process of elimination they would know that they were werewolves, but they saw each other.

The second night passes. Nobody kills themselves. If C was the only werewolf B saw and vice versa, they would know that they were the second werewolf, because the other one had to have seen a werewolf to not realize that he was a werewolf. However, B, and C didn't realize that they were werewolves, which means that they must have seen a second werewolf. B has already seen C, and the only person left who could be the second werewolf B saw is A, so A is a werewolf. The same logic applies for all 3.

Sorry if I explained it badly :oops:
