Brain Teaser of the week! - Page 12

Week 3 is up. GL. Hopefully I didn't **** up any of the questions >_<

Kefit · 04-26-2006, 01:53 PM

1 and 2 solved yayayayay

3 might take me a while though. I think I will attack when I have a bunch of free time tomorrow.

sertman · 04-26-2006, 01:54 PM

Question about question 3... if you say something like "Both Reach and Tass are taking biology," does that exclude Benny from taking Biology if the statement is true?

Kefit · 04-26-2006, 02:10 PM

Why would it? Logic only dictates exclusions when words such as "only" are used.

ps 3 solved yay will submit answers later after I have time to verify

#1 is my favorite kind of problem but it's annoying. Working on it.

#2 is going to take some time because I hate numbers.

#3 is almost done. I just hope there is only one correct solution.

To clarify on #3 so nobody else wastes time like I did, it's not that one of the three people are lying entirely. Just that 2/4 statements are true and 2/4 statements are false by each person.

After glancing at the problems, I could solve #1 and #3 without too much trouble. Stumped on #2 atm, though.

lord_carbo · 04-26-2006, 02:38 PM

Rofl I was going to submit this morning but couldn't connect to FFR, that sucks. I had 1, 3, and 4 all right. 2 was going to take too long so I just gave up, although now I'm upset because I had the right idea for 2 the whole time.

I was actually suprised with how easy 4 was once I thought about it. I remembered a game just like that where the goal was to get to 10 to win (some mini-game from Mario Party 5), and I checked over how to win it by working backwards with it. I applied the same concept for the 696969 game, and got the answer.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-26-2006, 03:54 PM

Got 3. Confirmed by Reach.

sertman · 04-26-2006, 05:11 PM

I'm 1 off on 3...dammit everything i switch can't technically happen

Kefit · 04-26-2006, 05:44 PM

Submitted answers. Reach confirmed that I am right on all 3.

Questions 1 and 2 are pretty cool, but I didn't like 3 much. Too much trial and error for that one.

Oh hey I am currently winning hurry up and fix that peoples.

**Shashakiro** · 04-26-2006, 05:55 PM

What is it with me and figuring out question #2 in under 10 seconds every time? I just did it again XD

TIMEDISORT · 04-26-2006, 06:06 PM

Reach didn't even respond to my answers last week.

**Reach** · 04-26-2006, 06:12 PM

oooh.

Week 3 Question #4 Value infinite points

Timedisort submitted several answers to reach's brain teaser thread. Reach replies to those who get points, and does not reply if the answer is right. Reach did not reply to timedisort, however, Timedisorts name has not appeared on the list of people that have gotten points.

Why is this?

JLoAct · 04-26-2006, 07:12 PM

Because Timedistort's answers are all right.

**Squeek** · 04-26-2006, 08:50 PM

Because he didn't PM them?

Osnap

PS I am having a lot of annoying problems with these but at least it's not a wording issue this time =<

~Squeek

**Shashakiro** · 04-26-2006, 10:01 PM

I'm pretty sure I got 1 and 2.

3 is hard >< it takes more time than I have ><

So, if the answer is right, you won't reply.
But if the answer is right, the person will get points.
And Reach replies to those who get points.

So Reach only doesn't reply to someone if they get a correct answer that does NOT earn the person points?

Reach never replied to me as well.

My name is on the board.

Omg.

I must be stupid or something because I still don't have any of the three =/

~Squeek

**Reach** · 04-27-2006, 07:48 AM

All wrong on question 4 so far! Noone has gotten teh infinite points!

**Tasselfoot** · 04-27-2006, 11:45 AM

My guess is that because he is 11, his answers were all so completely retarded, Reach completely ignored them and LOL'd.
