I've got a math problem, however! It's both harder and easier than it should be -.-

[the square root of X^2] - X = 6

If anybody has a better way to write that, let me know.

x is negative 3.

You have four pencils of the same length arranged so it looks like a plus sign. (otherwise known as + ).

Moving only one pencil, make a square.

I am 5 digits long

I am divisible by 3 and 9, but not 6

My digits add up to 27

When my first and last digits are added, you will
get a multiple of seven.

My lowest digit is 3

If you add up my second and fourth digits, you get 10

No number is used more than once

On the left of the comma, the numbers from left to
right decrease by 1. On the right of the comma, the numbers
increase by 3.

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?

Icewolf195 · 02-3-2007, 07:23 PM

Eight i believe. (If you take the butts from the 7 cigarettes he made, he would have another)

here's a riddle I read in the french version of LOTR, but I'll write in in english.

I am a chest with no lock or key, and inside of me you will find a golden treasure. what am I?

(you've all seen one before.)

T3hDDRKid · 02-3-2007, 08:10 PM

A refridgerator? With a light inside?

What work can a writer never quite finish?

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?

Please explain this better, I instantly came up with seven and must be missing something.

no, not a fridge. keep thinking !

seltivo · 02-3-2007, 08:27 PM

i know the answer!!!! here's a hint. INSIDE the fridge.

here's one:
noone wants one, but once you have it, you dont want to loose it.

What is it?

T3hDDRKid · 02-3-2007, 08:29 PM

A Twinkie? [to the fridge one]

Umm.. A girlfriend? Ooh! Herpes! Because losing it would be equal to giving it to somebody. Um.. A date to Prom? They're expensive, but you don't want to get stood up. Whoa.. It's all connected.. You went to Prom with your girlfriend and got herpes! [sorry for the off-topic]

T3hDDRKid · 02-3-2007, 08:35 PM

I get the feeling that's wrong >.<

What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie", am I telling the truth or a lie? [careful on that!]

seltivo · 02-3-2007, 09:15 PM

"everything I tell you is a lie" is a lie; only some of the things you tell me are

and a towel will get wetter and wetter the more it dries: When its dry, you use it and it will get wet again

T3hDDRKid · 02-3-2007, 09:20 PM

Well done on both counts. My previous ones are still unanswered:

Arabian Fire, it's an egg.

T3hDDRKid · 02-3-2007, 09:23 PM

... I feel dumb. Then again, chests aren't quite the shape of an egg. Unless we're talking about.. oh, dear.

1M_4_N008 · 02-3-2007, 09:36 PM

The english word that sounds the same with the last four letters taken off is "queue". I speak French, so I already knew that one

The answer is he's the minister or officiant of the weddings, not that he himself is getting married to the three women.
