Riddle of the Day

[Triguy]

You're fast, Bob! I was just typing it out when I saw your answer. Yes - its three and either clockwise or counterclockwise. I had to doodle with it on paper, though.

The spacing gets messed up with the forum but this is the idea...

4 3 2 1
7 6 5
9 8
10

becomes

1
3 2
7 6 5
4 9 8 10

Headed out for an hour or so. Will reveal my solution to land of liars and truth tellers when I return if anyone would like to take one last shot at it. F.R.O.G. You should post your solution also.JT

Oh my gosh...where is that post from the guy who said this makes his head hurt!?! Oh yeah I think they went and joined the chat about what homemade brew we will be sampling at Goshen! I am so with that guy! I do love how you all can even get these things! Funny how people just love riddles!

If I were to ash, what would be your answer to "Which trail leads to safety?" Then just go in the direction you are told.

[F.R.O.G.]

My take on the same problem, which I e-mailed a couple of days ago, was:

"If you were the opposite of what you are, a liar or a truth teller, which trail would you tell me to take?" I would then take the other trail.

A claustrophobic Englishman lived in a tenth floor flat in London. Each morning he would rise and ride the elevator down to work. Other residents always let him ride by himself because if anyone else entered the elevator he would exit because of his claustrophobia. After the workday when he returned he would ride the elevator to the seventh floor and walk the last three floors to his flat. What would explain this unusual behavior?

Just sent you a PM with the solution and a variation on the problem.

Is he too short to reach the tenth floor button?

A rooster sat on top of a gabled roof. Exactly one cm last of perfectly centered but there was a five mph breeze blowing in from the left. These two elements are almost exactly equal as for the effect on an egg. When an egg is laid which way will it roll?

Roosters don't lay eggs.

At a campout, where a lot of spirits were being passed around....DnD challenges jtant, Triguy, and mtnguy to a quandary. They had to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence.

jtant said he would make his fence in a large circle and said it was the most efficient.

Triguy stated he would make a long line and said that the length would extend long enough to fence half of the Earth.

Mtnguy laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others easily. What did he do by using only a few feet of fence?

[DnD]

For once I knew an answer...good thing I "asked it"...
