Ugh... Well it's my opinion of course, but anything said this close to an election, by either candidate, shouldn't be believed. I'm sure there are motives behind that statement -- although I don't have a clue what they are...

Ugh...

11) Scissor-trauma, of course.

13) The letter "L" and/or an "S" in their names.

14) Because his friend wouldn't shut-up.


My brain is now one-third damaged, one-third clueless, and one-third damaged again. Not only that, I have to go to college now and take a test in this state. Thanks a lot Billakov.

*Had to edit because I numbered the stupid answers wrong. Thanks again Bill.

Jagori's the only one with a right answer... putting him in second place for the moment.

Riddle number ten was solved by Jagori! +3 pts

Seven and eight are still unsolved, and as always, the new riddle eleven is at the end of this post.
*I would like to remind you all that I'll still take a few yes-or-no questions concerning what the pills in riddle number eight are like.

CURRENT STANDINGS (Anyone who makes a guess will be put on the list.)

6 pts Heian-794
3 pts Jagori
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
0 pts Sonicandtails


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 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 eleven:


Each spot in this square can be separated from all the others simply by drawing two more squares into the picture.

Where should they be drawn? 4 pts (for the effort involved)



Good luck!

NSNick and Heian get four points apiece. Everyone else... you can figure it out yourselves.
This puts Heian way out in front, and NSNick in second place.

As for number eight, Heian, your answer wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it made great sense and was very well explained. The answer I was originally looking for was that you could simply take another pill out of the A bottle, so you would have two of each in your hand, and then break each one in half -- taking half of each separate one. Then you just save all the other halves for the next day. I realized from the beginning that it wasn't stated that the pills were breakable tablets, but I felt like that would just make it too easy. Crushing the pills into powder and mixing them in water works fine as well.

Riddle number eleven was solved by NSNick! +4 pts
Riddle number eight was solved by Heian-794! +4 pts

I'm increasing riddle seven's value from 2 to 3. The new riddles number twelve and number thirteen are at the end of this post.

Smallhacker gnabs fourteen and fifteen - only one minute after I posted the riddles! This puts him in second place! (Actually, after I posted the last post I noticed that I needed to edit, but instead of editing I decided to delete and repost. I didn't know that Smallhacker was already posting his answer while I was reposting the questions. I'm just glad I was faster than he was - it would have looked messed-up to have the answers before the riddles.)

Smallhacker, your second and third answers for number fourteen were right.

Riddle number fourteen was solved by Smallhacker! +3 pts
Riddle number fifteen was solved by Smallhacker too! +3 pts

Ugh... Still no one has gotten seven... I'm going to make it worth another point. The new riddles sixteen and seventeen are at the end of this post, as always.

Riddle number sixteen:

Alecia parks in parking lots she needs a permit for, but doesn't have. She does this every day for a week, but she only gets one parking-ticket.

Riddle number seventeen:

There is a concert that starts in 17 minutes and four people must all cross a bridge to get there. All four begin on the same side of the bridge. It is night, and there is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower one's pace:

Heian: - 1 minute to cross
Small: - 2 minutes to cross
Nick: - 5 minutes to cross
Jagori: - 10 minutes to cross

How can everyone get to the other side of the bridge? 4 pts


Good luck, folks... (heheh, I said folks...)

Heh, that's my riddle number three.

It doesn't matter now though, that one's old on my thread. Just wanted to point out that it was there too.

http://board.acmlm.org/ only takes me to the "Fifty Pounds Internet Services" page when I use my home computer. Has my IP address been banned, or is something else I don't know about going on. (Right now I'm using an anonymous surfing service and it lets me on here, but it messes up when I try to sign in. It apparently lets me post with my username and password though, or you wouldn't be reading this.)

Can someone help me?

Posted on 11-19-04 12:09 AM, in Mario RPG Link
I'd be all for a new Mario RPG in the same old style -- but not with the exact same old storyline or plot. I would want old and new characters, and if people still wanted the original game in there, let it just be the first half or third of the game. Am I wrong in remembering that you could only level-up to level 30? Let them change that to 99 or 100, and make the game that much longer as well. I think it'd be a great success, but they'd never do something like that.

I'm sick of Nintendo's habits of porting old games without putting forth the effort to make a new experience for those of us who loved the originals.

I like coke better, especially when I compare their diet-counterparts.

Diet Pepsi is just weird tasting to me...
I like Diet Coke much better.

Oh yeah, and this *is* the Craziness Domain, right? I think everyone has posted on topic in this thread so far; even if the posts do feel spammy, they're not spam. If we lose the freedom to choose a barely valid subject here - that some people don't think are worth being threads - what's the point of the craziness domain to start with? If we didn't want this thread allowed here, there wouldn't be so many people posting in it.

100th post!

Riddle number seventeen was solved by Smallhacker! +4 pts
Riddle number eighteen was solved by Heian-794! +2 pts

Just for clarification, Smallhacker's answer for number eighteen "the question" was almost right, but the answer I was looking for was "a riddle". Since Heian's "a conundrum" means a riddle, I counted it. (The difference between a question and a riddle is tricky to understand, and I don't want to try to get too much into that here. It has to do with a riddle being a situation that you don't understand and a question being a form of speech.) I know It's kind of borderline, but you already got 4 points this time Smallhacker so I hope you understand.

Okay, here's the deal. Due to Thanksgiving, and a surge in the need for me to focus on school, I'm not going to be on Acmlm's board for two weeks a while. That means that this thread won't be updated with new riddles until December 7th (12-07-04) some time in the future that I'm not sure of. When I do come back, I'll have a new user-pic, a new layout, and five or more new riddles for you folks to solve.

Also, when I come back I'm putting riddle number seven to its death, whether or not anyone has figured it out. In the mean time, guesses will still be accepted, and I've raised the value of the riddle to 6 points!

Thanks, and see you all in two weeks!
