I guess I didn't get enough sleep for I am still trying to figure out the first wears my second out to sea one? I keep thinking about a watch which has nothing to do with your answer there. Guess I need to sit back and pay attention in class.

Don't know what happened in 1961 that won't happen again in 4000 more years...but the number, 1961, is the same right-side-up as up-side-down.
It has nothing to do with anything, of course, just something I noticed. (rolls eyes)

Let me guess, wrongly. Some comet thing will come back in 4,000 years? Halleys? Or Ajax perhaps.
I totally didn't get those riddles M.G.

So I am not the only one that was lost? So good to hear.
*looks for map* There has got to be a trick to figuring these things out.

My first wears my second; my third might be what my first would acquire if he went to sea. Put together my one, two, three, And the belle of New York is the girl for me. What one word am I? ManhattanMy first wears my second--"man" wears "hat" My third might be what my first would acquire if he went to sea--you acquire a "tan" if you go to sea Put together my one, two, three---man hat tan---"manhattan"-----that bad?? LOL What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years? Anyone know this one?? Phalon came the closest---the number is the same upside down & backwards--this won't happen again until 6009--over 4000 years 'k....I was just filling in til the master scapster put one up.... "Scraaaappy"!!....I feel a flogging coming on, you better hurry in here!!

How would you rearrange the letters in the words "new door" to make one word? Note: There is only one correct answer.

What is the dot over the letter "i" called?

I'll have to stare at "new door" for a while and see what I can come up with.
As for the itty bitty dot over the letter "i", isn't it a little tittle?

You got it Erco....what's the other one? Anyone? It's really kinda obvious. I think you'll all be doing this once the answer is posted. Here's another just for fun..... What do bullet proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common?

I kept having a left-over letter - kinda like when you put something together without the directions and end up with left-over pieces.
And then I read the directions.....
...the answer is "one word".
Right?

Hi Phalon :wave Here's a riddle. A mother gives birth to two daughters. They are identical in every way. When they are both older, one moves away from home to live in the Rocky mountains and the other decides to live in the Florida Everglades. The mother is wealthy and decides to leave all her money to the last living daughter. Now, assuming they both have an identical lifespan, who eventually inherits the fortune?

Post by Joxcenia on May 26, 2005 17:32:55 GMT -6
Neither... a man can't give birth...
You changed it to mother and now my post looks stupid.

Post by Phalon on May 26, 2005 17:35:07 GMT -6
Hhhmm, Xenamoured.
This is a stretch... The daughter in the Rocky Mountains gets the inheritance, because with the time difference she is about two hours behind the daughter in Florida.
Or -
Since they both have an identical lifespan - neither, because you can't take it with you.
I'm horrible at these things.

Hi Joxie ...sorry about that...I haven't posted in a while...I fixed it....

I just assumed that was the way it was suppose to go... and that my answer would be correct.

Sorry Joxie! I should have left it alone...your answer made perfect sense!

No sweat... I got it right the one time....

Post by Phalon on May 26, 2005 17:51:51 GMT -6
What's the answer? Besides Joxie's, that is.

Post by Phalon on May 26, 2005 17:54:12 GMT -6
Oh - post the answer only if you're not going to be around for awhile, Xenamoured.
Don't want to leave it hanging for weeks or however long it is until we see your smiling face again.

Okay Phalon...I'll say I'll be back soon...and then suddenly it will be weeks!
It's not terribly clever or anything....the girl who lives in the Rocky mountains would inherit the money...since the force of gravity would be every so slightly attenuated at the higher altitude; and since the diminished gravity would slow time, the mountain girl would live a longer life. Of course, she would only enjoy her fortune for less than a second....

Absolutely right Phalon.....good job.

Wow, I'm on a roll....with one in a row right. Pfft.
Still drawing a blank about the bullet proof windshield on the fire escape thing.
In the meantime....
Four men sat down to play, They played all night `till break of day. They played for gold and not for fun With separate scores for everyone. When they came to square accounts, They all had made quite fair amounts. Can you paradox explain, If no one lost, how could all gain?

oh my goodness...Is all this meant to confuse poor little ole me? Phalon your last one just made me think of weight gain. Man I feel fat! After all that is the only way I can gain without winning.

Post by Xenamoured on May 27, 2005 18:48:26 GMT -6
That's a tough one Phalon...I think that all four players were Leprechans, and therefore were able to conjure up unlimited amounts of gold....and lucky charms....
