So lots of you know I've been gone for a little bit.
And I have regretted that.
BUT!!!
I'm going to try to make it up with this contest.
Every so often I'm going to be posting some sort of puzzle
(and yes, some of these will be stolen from Professor Layton games)
It may be a word unscramble, a thought puzzle, or something different altogether.
Whoever answers with the correct answer first will win the prize for the tier described. Here are the tiers:
-Prizes-
Beginners: 100k-200k
Easy: 300k-400k
Intermediate: 500k-600k
Medium: 700k-800k
Hard: 900k-1mil
Oh My Glob What the Heck: 1,001,000+
As you can see, very nice tu prizes. Unfortunately, me posting things will be limited to my time zone, which is Res time. Whatever time you would expect a 14 year old girl to be on in Res time, that's when I'll probably be on.So be aware of that (though puzzles may last a day+, depending on the difficulty)
As long as I have the tu to support this, I'll keep doing it. I may be giving out other things as well, such as cool items from the tier range, so watch out for those (it will be mentioned in the post the puzzle is in)
-Hints-
Hints, if everyone
is agreeing to this, will be given out. However, it will decrease the
level of difficulty by one or even two levels (maybe even three,
depending on the hint). And if everyone gives up, we move on to the next
riddle (and I'll tell you the answer to the previous one, because I'm
not a troll).
-Rules-
~Don't get mad at me if you don't win.
~No going back and editing your post once it has been posted. Edited posts will be discarded.
~All site rules apply (as always)
~Be respectful to your competitors
~I reserve the right to choose a different answer, even if you posted first, if you are rude and disrespectful.
~I'd prefer if you didn't look these up if you can't figure them out. I can't figure it out if you do, but just don't. Please. Besides, I'll be checking all of these puzzles out on the interwebs before I post them and looking to see if I can find the answer to it. If I can, I won't post it, so trying to cheat is kind of pointless.
~Have fun, okay <333 That's what this is for.

-Current Hints-

~Answered Riddles~
Intermediate:
You are trapped in a room. In this room there are two doors, as well as two robots. One of the doors leads to death, the other leads to life. One of the robots tells only truth, while the other speaks only lies (and neither robot is connected to a specific door). You may only ask one question to one robot, and then they will force you to choose a door. What do you ask, and which door do you then choose?
Also, forgot to mention you don't know which is which, sorry :c
Medium:
Mrs. Piggles, a 3rd grade teacher, claimed before her class that she would be able to throw a tin can, have it go a short distance, make it come to a stop, and then make it reverse and come back to her without bouncing it on anything. How did she do it?
Easy: With sharp teeth it sits and waits With puncturing force it doles out fate. Over bloodless victims proclaiming it's might, Joining them forever in a single bite.
Hard:
Jamie gave 7 cents to her friend Rebecca and 18 cents to her friend Charolette. What time is it?
Beginner:
What work can one never finish?
Beginner:
George, a college student, loves Ramen Noodles. He eats them all day, every day. When George's microwave breaks, he goes out to buy a new one. The microwave salesman shows him one microwave proudly, "This is the best microwave we have. It costs very little, warms food very efficiently, and is small so it can fit in your dorm. There is one catch, however. It can only warm food up for up to one minute thirty nine seconds."
George is trying to figure out why this is. Can you help him?
Oh My Glob:
Sarah was 35 in 1860, but in 1870 she was only 25. How is this possible?
Easy:
It destroys everything in its path, with homes, land, trees, and even metal falling in its path. Only plastic can stand before it and survive.
What is it?
Medium:
An adventurous couple, recently wed,decided they'd like to spend their honeymoon in an authentic igloo in the arctic. The day after checking in, despite being safely indoors with a warm fire going. they were both found dead by exposure to cold (it appeared they had died in their sleep). Why?
Medium:
A Woman is in court for killing her husband. In the closing statements the woman's lawyer surprises everyone when he announces, "Her husband was just missing. Everyone look at those door. Her husband is going to walk in those doors in about 15 seconds." The entire court is silent and the jury stares at the door as the lawyer and the defendant stare at them. After a couple of minutes the lawyer says, "See! If you were so sure she killed her husband, you wouldn't be watching that door!"
The jury goes into deliberation and comes back almost immediately with a guilty verdict.
Why did the jury convict her?
Easy:
Mary went to her mother and started crying. Mary's mother tried to call her down, but could only get these words out:
"Someone ate all of my cake!"
Mary's
mother questioned each of her four other children in turn. She knew
that only one child would lie, and that the liar was the one who ate the
cake. Their responses to the question "Who ate the cake," are as
follows:
Susy: Jim and Patrick didn't eat it.
Jim: Thomas didn't eat it.
Patrick: Susy didn't eat it.
Thomas: Patrick and Susy didn't eat it.
Who at the cake?

I had a logic class with a riddle similar to this. Umm, I remember the other logic questions answer. But it was with 2 little girls, and it said they personally knew each other. Omg I remember the answer! Is it ask one to see what the other says, then go to the other door? I'm guessing on which door but I remember the asking part.

Very, very, very, very close, so I'll give it to you. You ask which door the other would say leads to death (or life). If you ask about death, go through that door. If you ask about life, go through the opposite door.I'll send your tu, new puzzle will be up sometime soon <3

Wait, if you ask what the other robot would say how do you know if the robot is lying or not?

Twilight: If you ask the truth robot which door the other robot would say is the door to death, it would point to the life door (because the lying robot would point to the life door if asked which is death. If you asked the lying robot which door the other would say was the death door, it would also point to life (because although the truth robot would point to the death door, the lying robot must lie about which door the other say, so it has to point to life). It's a logic thing.
And the next riddle will be posted in a few minutes c:

Still no. And I changed the difficulty of the level because I realized it was harder than I put.

GLaDOS is, indeed, correct. If you throw anything up it will do that :D
Next riddle will be posted when I get home from school.

Easy (only because it's a common one) With sharp teeth it sits and waits With puncturing force it doles out fate. Over bloodless victims proclaiming it's might, Joining them forever in a single bite.
(It is not a vampire) Sorry I didn't post this earlier, I was sick and had to come home from school and do my job and yeah. Not good day. I'm going to bed, but I may check every once in a while if I go to the bathroom to see if someone got it :3 |
