Okay folks, the rules are simple: try to stump anyone who tries to post after you.
If nobody can figure it out, then we're still cool. We'll just take a pass, and move on.
However, if you're one of the few who are stumped, feel free to say so...
Well, have fun, and keep it clean!!!
I'll go first:
What's the speed of sound? (miles per hour)
761 miles per hour at sea level.
What is the Question to Life, the Universe and Everything?
(That's a hard one...)
I would suppose that the Ultimate Question is "Why is it all here? Why does it all exist?"
What's the year that George Washington died in?
Nope, Jurnis. XDQuote:

We need to ask questions that cannot be looked up on the internet. So....
If you had to transport a snake, a rabbit and a mouse across a river and could only carry one at a time in the boat, yet could not keep the snake alone with either the rabbit or the mouse, how would you do it?

edit: fixed... unless sleep deprivation has me hallucinating and I totally missed something.
7 girls = 14 legs
7 fat cats in 7 packs on 7 girls = 343 fat cats = 1372 legs
343 fat cats each has 7 kittens = 2401 kittens = 9604 legs
Total = 10990 legs
you say so your self, yet you stumble over its simplicity: each girl has seven back packs, in of those back packs there are 7 cats.
It has been done, +Rep for you Rota for finally getting that.Quote:

You are allowed to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to safety. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking - the truth-teller or the liar and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to safety, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
Note: You are not allowed whoop the guards' asses, ask more than one question, determine which one is the truth-teller/liar by means of reading body language or any other types of shenanigans! :D
You ask either one what door would the other gaurd ask me to take, what ever door they say ... take the other!
The one who tells the truth Will tell you the lair would take u ther wrong way, and liar would say the one who tells u the truth will tell you the wrong way - he lies see!
Fourty people( men,women,and children)entered a resturant.
each man should pay 4$.
each woman 2$.
each child 1$.
totally they paid 40$.
how many men were out of 40?
how many women?
and how many children?
"Should pay". Some didn't?Quote:

Give me an example of a quadratic equation.
9x + 3y = 6x + 5y
am I blind...or can I see....
3x = 2yQuote:

I realise, I failed... I did not post a quadratic equasion.
twenty x squared plus 4 x minus 9 = 0
When you say quadratic equation did you mean:Quote:

im pretty sure thats close to the quadratic formula but not entirely
x^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e = (x-a)(x-b)(x-g)(x-d)Quote:

So I think if a "if" statement that will expose the liar/truth teller and the door to safety.
The single question I choose to ask only one of the guards is:
"If the door you are guarding leads to safety what is 2+2?"
The guard who always lies will not say 4. The guard who always tells the truth will say 4.
What if (s)he's guarding the other door? Based on your question, (s)he only has to answer the second part on the condition that their door is the safety door. Besides, it has already been answered correctly.Quote:

I would know why I am stuck in the situation, so if and only if the answer is the one I know, then I would know if he was lying or telling the truth. The next thing I say is not a question, so it does not violate the rules.
I didn't say you were allowed to make a statement/give an order to one of the guards. I said you had permission to ask them one question. I know I didn't say one question and absolutely nothing else but that's the way it was supposed to be.
you cant be able to tell who is the liar its in the rules......Quote:

Wait, it was answered already correctly? Isn't there more than 1 correct answer? This is a simple logistical problem. Thus any deductive questions connecting to the doors can be asked. It does not matter what the questions are.Quote:
Originally Posted by Richie_B

If we can ask one question to each guard then a solution would be very easy. Simply ask each guard a yes or no question that you already know the answer to. You will determine the liar by only asking one of them. Once the liar is determined then you will know the truth teller. Then ask the truth teller which is the door to safety.
But since we can only ask ONE question in total then that question needs to do two things: Identify the liar/truth teller and the safety door.
Maybe I need to think of a new question for the guards. But I did not see it answered because the only answer I saw involved asking BOTH guards one question.
There's your logic right there.Quote:

"If the door you are guarding leads to safety what is 2+2?" <- What you said.
"If" is conditional, right? Your condition was that the door they are guarding has to be the safety one, otherwise they won't answer your 2 + 2 question.
Maybe the person who answered correctly is on your ignore list.Quote:

The answer is to go to one of the guards and ask "If I ask the other guard which door leads to safety, which door will he tell me to go through?"
The liar will point you to the door of doom. (because the other guard would point to the right door)
The truth teller will point you to the door of doom. (because the other guard would point to the wrong door)
No matter which guard you are talking to, the door he says will be the door to certain doom. Take the other door.

It's a new building code for large structures. I think it has something to do with the Patriot Act and homeland security. The architects don't want to install them, they have to.Quote:
