Brain Teaser of the week! - Page 6

Heh, I got the bridge one.

PS What spoiler tag? >_>

PPS Some hints for the acid ones please reach >_>

Tokzic · 04-17-2006, 03:27 PM

Grr.

I submitted the bridge one, the lies/truth one is cake (plus I saw a varation of it when I was twelve on Yu-Gi-Oh anyway rofl), but GAH DAMMIT STUPID FSCKING ACID ONE.

The only solution I can think of is - oh.

***POTENTIAL SPOILERS OH NOES AVERT YOUR EYES***

The only possible solution I can think of is that the treasurer planned to make an acid that was extremely weak then switch them. The pharmacist planned to make a decent acid and switch them back. Reach doesn't get that good an acid as a result.

And then as I wrote that up, I considered something else. What if the treasurer consumed a very weak acid before the showdown of acids? He could make a potion that had no acid in it, then drink the pharmacist's and it would be neutralized. The pharmacist realizes this and makes a potion that does not have any acid in it. Because of this, the treasurer does not obtain anything to neutralize the one he had and he dies, and the "winning potion" is in fact not the strongest acid in the land, but not an acid at all.

Is that it?

***END OF POTENTIAL SPOILERS OH NOES YOU CAN READ AGAIN***

Actually that's the end of the post, which means the end spoilers tag is pretty pointless.

Renommus · 04-17-2006, 03:27 PM

The second one is brilliant. That has to be it.

**Reach** · 04-17-2006, 03:58 PM

Tok got it with the second one. Good job

Gl everyone else, you can check your answer now ;o

And I made it up talis. I know that, however, this is a fantasy world! xD

**talisman** · 04-17-2006, 05:25 PM

oh whatever my answer was way better.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-17-2006, 07:08 PM

Hehe... I remember that Yu-Gi-Oh episode.

PS -

SPOILER

Ask either of them, "would the other guy tell me you had a penis?"
If Reach = Penis/Truth, Bandit = Vag/False, then:
Reach would tell the truth that Bandit would say that Reach did not have a penis.
Bandit would lie and say that Reach would say that Bandit did have a penis.
So, you'd do the opposite of what the answer is. If you reverse it, it still works...

Basically, the trick is to ask a question so that no matter who answers it, it will be a lie. That way you know you just have to do the opposite. So posing a question that forces the answerer to go through both people guarentees that the answer will be lie, since 1 person lying and 1 telling the truth will always result in a lie.

END SPOILER

**Reach** · 04-17-2006, 07:17 PM

can't believe ffr has no spoiler tag XD

and it sounds like you guys are all warmed up for tomorrows new teasers then. I posted the results of week 1 on the main page.

Bahamut-X · 04-17-2006, 08:13 PM

Sweet I got the hourglass one.

Fck the sequence one.

I suggested it to LD about 2 months ago. I'll try again in a bit.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-17-2006, 10:08 PM

Planning on posting the answers to the 2 questions? Or just who got them correct.

MilfeulleSakuraba · 04-17-2006, 10:22 PM

Who says we don't have spoiler tags?

Solution #2: 1113122118 (one 1, one 3, one 2, two 1s, one 8)

Tass edit: the color used to match the backdrop is E1ECF2. I have no idea how Kilga knows this off hand.

**Squeek** · 04-17-2006, 11:50 PM

Because it's easy to get the hexadecimal value if you have any kind of photo-editing software in existance... or maybe the generic skin colors used for vB are readily available.

MilfeulleSakuraba · 04-18-2006, 12:59 AM

I got someone else to find it for me, actually.

If you use FireFox, just get Colorzilla. It'll get the hex value of any color on the current page for you.

Or so I'm told.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-18-2006, 01:16 AM

Squeek's idea is easier, IMO... SS into Photoshop, then eyedropper it. I'd fail if that was a brain teaser though.

and no you do not know which one is reach or whiteboy because that have mysterous penis costumes on.

I just like to point out how silly this riddle is, because I could ask either of them something stupidly trivial like "Is it day time where we are now?" or "Am I standing infront of you" or "do you exist?" to see which one is real or not etc.

ie/
I ask person A "Do I have breasts" or something stupid like that, and after they answer truthfully or not it's easy to tell who is who.

This riddle would be better if you didn't know which person told the truth, (because then the liar could possible have the penis and not the vagina).

(I havn't been on these forums in ages lol xD)

MilfeulleSakuraba · 04-18-2006, 08:36 AM

Except you don't know which has what based on who tells the truth.

Renommus · 04-18-2006, 08:58 AM

You're allowed to ask the a question each, apparently.

Ask the first one if the sky is blue. If he says yes he is telling the truth (srsly) and you know the other one will lie, so you ask if he has a penis and if he says no then he has.

**Reach** · 04-18-2006, 09:02 AM

You people fail at reading problems. Comeon, you're going to get massacred with this weeks problems if you keep that up...rofl.

Gelsamel, who tells the truth or not is irrelevant. So what, I tell the truth? You have no figured out the answer to the riddle. Just because I tell the truth does not mean I have a penis or vagina.

and no Renommus, I clearly state you can ask one question to EITHER of them, meaning, one or the other, not both XD

I have one more class, then I'll quickly post up week 2 questions since I havn't and don't seem to be getting any more submissions.

Week 1 answers are up.

**Tasselfoot** · 04-18-2006, 11:11 AM

this is the answer to the truth/lie penis/vagina question.... way to read. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...&postcount=106

**Squeek** · 04-18-2006, 11:25 AM

Haha, my explanation for #1 was used.

I guess that means I'm awesome.

omg week 2 omg
