Anyone in the mood for riddles?

You said the same things again! Hehehe...

Well... err... yeah... I knew that! I just forgot. Really. Blanked out of my mind. I need more science. I kinda want percentages on my report card now, because I don't know whether or not to be satisfied with an "A+" anymore...

Heh...I'm not very good at riddles, but I might as well try these...

E1(classification: logic): In front of you there are three light switches. They go to three seperate light bulbs in a room that is not visible from where you are. Your challenge is to determine which light switch goes to which light bulb without looking at the room with the lights more than once. How will you do it?

You turn one of the switches on, then go look at the room. While you're looking at the room, and without looking away, you use a really long stick to hit another switch...I dunno

E2 (classification: checking your assumptions): There is a normal, empty, straight two-way pipe lying on the ground. One perfectly healthy cat peeks into one end, and another perfectly heathy cat peeks into the other. Although there is plenty of light and nothing is obstructing their veiw, they do NOT see eachother. Why?

Do they not look into the pipe simultaneously (and so don't see each other because the other isn't there while they look)?

E3 (classification: checking assumptions): A man sits on an island in the middle of a large, deep lake. The island is completely empty of materials and there is no boat or bridge. The man can not swim and, because the island is empty, cannot make anything to help get him accross. Eventually, he makes it safely to shore without any help, alive, and under his own power. How does he do it?

Is it the middle of winter (and so the lake has frozen over)?

E4 (classification: abstract thinking (HARD)): A DJ walks to his car with a satisfied smile on his face. He gets in and begins his drive back to work. He turns on the radio to some music. Suddenly, he stops the car, pulls over, and kills himself. Why?

Has the radio turned to news, and he hears about a disaster that killed someone he cared about?

Heh...now watch her announce that I got all four wrong

Hmmm.. i just read 11 pages of riddles. i feel learned. except for hte fact i don't know half of them

okay. i have 3 riddles..

A man is standing on the forested shore of a small lake. He wants to get onto a tiny island in the middle of a lake. On the island there is one lone tree. He has an extremely long length of rope, but as usual cannot swim.
How does he get across?

Two twin brothers alike in every single way go to a bar. Unknown to them, the bartender wants to kill them. He gives them both two drinks, which each have been poisoned in the same way. After the brothers leave, one's fine and the other dies. What happened?

Let's make this Neopiany. A User wants to go to Mystery Island with his Lupe, Chia and crate of chia pops. His boat can only carry him, and one load of cargo. The lupe will eat the chia if he leaves them alone, and the chia will eat the chia pops if he leaves them alone. How does he get across?

Yes.. the last one's easy. And for the DJ one.. isn't that like the one where the guy wakes up in the morning turns on the tv, switches it off and kills himself? If it is that one.. I think I know.

'Kay, first he takes the chia pops across, then he comes back for the lupe and takes him across, and THEN he takes the chia across! Does that work?

if he takes the chia pops across first. then the lupe ate the chia while he was away

[peachifruit]

Right. I just now noticed. ^^

This is confusing...

Well the obvious answer is that he lassos the rope to the tree and then pulls himself along - after all, it is so blatenly pointed out that it is a "long length of rope" and a "small lake". Of course it's so simple I suspect there's a hidden hook.

Gimme a moment to think

I've heard the grain, chicken, and fox version of this riddle. I'm not going to spoil it for Peachi and others ^.^ It's as Ember would call "a logic riddle"

Oh, I see. The bartender gave them two drinks. The riddle doesn't say anything about whether or not the brothers *actually* drank the drinks. So the brother who died drank the drink, and the surviving brother didn't drink (probably because he was the designated driver - remember, whenever you plan on drinking alchohol at a party you're going to leave by car, ALWAYS pick a designated driver )

I'VE GOT IT!

He takes the Chia first. Then he comes back and takes the lupe across and THEN he puts the Chia in the boat and takes him back. THEN he takes the chia pops and puts them in the boat and takes them across, and finally he takes the Chia across. I think that works!

hehe.. i guess that could work but not the one i know. although it's hard to lasso a big tree with a lot of rope because it just flops around
