Originally posted by NSNick The only noticeable effects are that if you take the right amount of both, you don't die. (Also, you can't test them on anything else, because you eventually have to take every last pill.) Number 8 does require a bit of abstract thought, but if I told you what you have to infer it would probably make it too easy! That's why it's worth 4 points.  |

| Q7: Have these people got cancer? Q8: You mentioned you couldn't test those pills on something else because you didn't have enough money to buy more... get one of your friends to buy you some more (edited by RYjet911 on 10-19-04 02:45 PM) |

| Sorry RYjet911, you didn't get one. On number seven: It isn't cancer. On number eight: The answer doesn't require more pills to be bought... or stolen... or borrowed... That's not where you need to go with that one. Use the stuff you already have.  |

Taking the correct amount is a one-shot thing. edit2: Just a note that I slightly edited the wording of riddle number eight as of this post.

| For #8, the first thing you should do is set these three pills aside and finish all the pills remaining in the two bottles. This will at least buy you time to think of something. | |||

| Riddles seven and eight are still left unsolved -- new riddle number nine is at the end of this post. Come on, surely someone can get one of these three! CURRENT STANDINGS 6 pts Heian-794 2 pts APH Striker 2 pts MorbidMolly 2 pts Smallhacker 2 pts Timmy Turner 0 pts Gavin 0 pts Kario 0 pts Kirby ATW 0 pts NSNick 0 pts RYjet911 Riddle number seven: People who have it don't tell. People who get it don't know. People who find out they have it don't want it. What is it? 2 pts Riddle number eight:  You were given two bottles of pills, one labeled "Bottle A" and one labeled "Bottle B". The pills in these bottles are identical, except that if you take the wrong amount of either one you will die. You must take one of each pill each day, and no extra, or you will die. You already have a pill from bottle A in your hand, but when you try to get a pill from bottle B, two B pills spill out into your hand with the A pill and you lose track of which pills are which. You can't just throw the three pills away and get new ones because you have to take every last one eventually. You can't afford to get more. What can you do? 4 pts Riddle number nine:  It belongs to you, but others use it more. What is it? 2 pts Good luck! (edited by Reshaper256 on 10-22-04 01:44 AM) |

| Yep, that's right Smallhacker. Riddle number nine was solved by Smallhacker! +2 pts Riddles seven and eight are still up for grabs, and new riddle number ten is at the end of this post. CURRENT STANDINGS (Anyone who makes a guess will be put on the list.) 6 pts Heian-794 4 pts Smallhacker 2 pts APH Striker 2 pts MorbidMolly 2 pts Timmy Turner 0 pts Gavin 0 pts Kario 0 pts Kirby ATW 0 pts NSNick 0 pts RYjet911 CURRENT UNSOLVED RIDDLES Riddle number seven: People who have it don't tell. People who get it don't know. People who find out they have it don't want it. What is it? 2 pts Riddle number eight: You were given two bottles of pills, one labeled "Bottle A" and one labeled "Bottle B". The pills in these bottles are identical, except that if you take the wrong amount of either one you will die. You must take one of each pill each day, and no extra, or you will die.

You can't just throw the three pills away and get new ones because you have to take every last one eventually. You can't afford to get more. What can you do? 4 pts Riddle number ten:  Tony bets Ransdell a week's salary that he can drink two large mugs full of beer before Ransdell can drink one small shot glass full. The conditions are that neither man can touch or move the other one's mugs/glass, and Ransdell can't start drinking from his shot glass until Tony finishes his first mug and sits it on the table. Since Ransdell is the faster drinker, and he appears to have a clear advantage in the contest, he happily accepts the wager. After the men complete this contest however, Ransdell owes Tony a week's salary. How did this happen? 3 pts Now... who can figure these out? (edited by Reshaper256 on 10-28-04 09:13 PM) |

| #10: Obviously Tony drank the second mug with the first one still in his hand, never letting it touch the table at all, and thus Ransdell never had an opportunity to start drinking at all. Hope a week's salary isn't too much money! #8 is baffling me... must... get...answer! |

| #10: Or, if Tony must put the mug down after finishing it, he simply drank almost all of it, then drank the whole second one, then finished off the first one. | |||

Originally posted by Heian-794 Sorry Heian, I hate to be the one to tell you this (but I sort of have to be): That's not it! It is a reasonable answer, and if I was guessing it would have been my first guess, but it's not what I'm looking for. Concerning number eight: Okay, I'll answer a few yes or no questions about what the pills are like, so you might get a better idea what you have to work with. I won't just give you a clear hint though, eight is worth 4 points! Originally posted by NSNick Alright, since both you and Heian went down similar paths with riddle ten, I'm going to give a hint: Tony completely finished and put his first mug on the table before he started the second mug. Hope that helps! Riddles seven, eight, and ten are still up for grabs. Figure them out! (edited by Reshaper256 on 10-23-04 12:48 PM) |

| #10 Well assuming "shotglass" is one word, i wanna say that its not a shotglass but its a "shot glass", therefore, the glass is shot which makes it no glass at all. So Randell cant drink anything. lol lame guess.... | |||

| 10: Tony put his mug down overtop of the shot glass, and since they're not allowed to move each other's glasses, and so Randall couldn't get at his drink. | |||

| But Jagori, then he would have put his mug down on the shot glass, and not on the table. Supposedly he has to put his mug on the table before drinking from the second one. | |||

| 10. When Tony put his mug down, he slams it on the table, spilling the shot glass-- therefore Ransdell (What kind of name is Ransdell, anyway) can't drink the spilled liquid. Or at least not as fast as Tony could chug his mug. | |||

Originally posted by Heian-794 I didn't mean he set it down on the shot glass. I mean he actually put his mug upside-down overtop of the shot glass so it was on the table but covering the shot glass. And I didn't even notice that the name wasn't Randall.. oops! |
