Numbers on the choices matter and solutions can vary depending on them.
In our particular case, there's one solution |

Re: The Puzzle Thread
fuck you and your poker/sudoku, Zap :P
There are two poles, each 50 feet high. A 60-foot-long rope of uniform density is strung between the tops of each. The rope dips to a height of 20 feet at its lowest point. Find the distance between the two poles. |

Re: The Puzzle Thread
Reincarnate's riddle is still boggling my mind. @Zapmeister: I couldn't solve the puzzle and this post was just more for laughs than for solutions. When I solved for all the potential numbers, there was only one spot (6th row, 8th column) that had 2 possible numbers. All the rest were 3+ so I gave up lol |

Re: The Puzzle Thread
Here's a puzzle from one of my favourite puzzle books:
========================= A few years ago, I did an experiment on four men in a room. Each men are presented four cabinets containing there drawers each. They are told that in each drawer there is either an apple, or an orange. The men are also told that one cabinet contained three apples, one contained three oranges, one contained two apples and an orange, the final contained an apple and two oranges. Four labels labelled AAA, OOO, AAO and AOO (for Apple and Orange respectively) are placed on the four different cabinets. The men are told that each cabinet's label are wrong. The men are assigned a cabinet each, and each man cannot see the other men's labels. The men then can open two drawers from his cabinet and try to guess the content of the third drawer. I couldn't remember exactly the contents of each drawer, as my assistant was the one who prepared them. So I challenged myself to guess the contents based on what the men said. The first man opens two drawers and says "I see two apples - and I know what's in my third drawer". The second man opens two drawers and says "I see an apple and an orange - and I know what's in my third drawer". The third man said "I see two oranges - and.." but alas, I can't remember if he said he could tell the contents of his third drawer. He did say yes or no however, and based on that I could figure out with 100% certainty the contents of all four cabinets and what labels were on them. Can you? ========================= |
