darkdieuguerre:

You pick up a pencil and draw the square. Good one, took me awhile

xjohnieboyx:

The answer is 54,369... ps if u can divide a number by 9, it is automatically divisible by 3 silly. And not much of a riddle really.

Edit: FORGOT MY RIDDLE OMG!

I once knew this guy who was so addicted to smoking, he would take the used up butts of 7 cigarettes, mash them together, and make a new cigarette to smoke. If you gave my friend 49 cigarette butts, how many 'new' cigarettes will be smoked?

Technically, no. But it does make sense. There is another answer though.

What if I said toothpicks?

Re: The Riddle Thread

Two left!

Also, what English word sounds the same after you take away four of its five letters?

Stole this one from the internet: How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying?

I'll give it a day longer before answering them.

Re: The Riddle Thread

DRAWING THE SQUARE WASN'T RIGHT?!?! Damn, I'm all out... unless he breaks the toothpick into four pieces and makes a square? Or maybe this:
THERE! I made a square with my fingers just now. Does that count?

Answer to the marrying 3 women is that he's the minister.

And 8 was correct to my riddle (After he makes his 7 "new" cigarettes, he can then again recycle 7 more butts for one more cigarette)

Re: The Riddle Thread

Ahh, right.

Still the last one of mine has to be answered: What English word sounds the same after you take away four of its five letters?

Re: The Riddle Thread

The word "queue", which is pronounced like "cue". Removing "ueue" leaves "q".

Now for mine:A father and a son got into a car accident. The father went home to rest. The son was taken to the hospital for minor surgery. The doctor came in and said: "I shouldn't do any surgery on this boy because he's my son." How can that be?

Doctor is his mother.

Just to reiterate my puzzle (which didn't get the answer I wanted). You have four toothpicks arranged in a plus sign. Move one toothpick to make a square.

Re: The Riddle Thread

Along the lines of guerre's puzzling method:

Arrange 6 toothpicks of equal length to create 4 triangles.

Guerre: too tough, I thought of 3 ver original answers, time for a hint plz

Edit: OMG I GOT IT!!
Move the right toothpick over vertically to the left toothpick and make a 4!
SQUARE OF 2!!!

I'm a little bastard XD

My turn!

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

BTW, I don't know if anyone here uses Google to find answers to riddles, and if you do I hope Pac-Man comes to your house and eats you. It's wrong. Just use your goddamn brain!

Re: The Riddle Thread

(( Uh, well, people have been asking and answering different riddles at random, so, well, I feel like I can too... o.o ))

Well, putting one toothpick over another to create a cross, then putting the other four to make a small square around it so the cross goes through corners... That'd make six triangles, but there'd be some extra parts of the toothpicks that aren't a part of the triangles.....

I have three riddles... two quick ones and a long one.
How can you make half of twelve equal to seven?
How can eleven plus one equal ten?

Longer one:
Three identical equalateral triangles are inscribed with circles. Which case provides the circles with the largest total area? 1) An incircle ant two smaller circles, 2) Three identical circles of the largest size possible, 3) One big circle and two smaller ones.
