Title: 20 questions.
Post by: Nomaken on December 02, 2006, 01:29:21 PM
I am thinking of an object.  You each may ask 20 yes or no questions(silly questions are free) trying to figure it out.  Guesses on the object count as 1 question.

The idea for this game was not mine, it was mcjaggers.

No, I was asking if it was man-made.

I guess it would could as mineral.  And it is man made.

We were playing around with this game idea in the admin dimension.  I am sad I am the one who started it, because I found more fun in asking useless questions than real ones. Like:  Can It bet on the underdog?

Is it the same size or bigger than a housecat (av. weight 10-15 lbs)?  And that IS a yes-or-no, not either-or, question; if the answer is yes, it is bigger than or in the same size range; if the answer is no, it is smaller than.

Edit: At least not that I've seen, I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese made such a thing.

And never mind the limit of 20 questions, I don't think people are going to get it in 20 questions and it is much more fun to have room for funny questions.

How do You general write with it?

Well, you can write with anything provided that the surface you are draging it along has a greater hardness than it does.  But it might be akward for writing and therefore be difficult and perhaps take a long time.

Yes/no questions only.

No.

No.

No.

Edit:  I'm not a big pot user but I hear zig zags which are better are very easy to get ahold of, but pot users tend to be lazy, so I would be surprised if the item was very popular for that.

Now try figuring out my riddle.

How did a guy end up in a room dead with 53 bicycles??

I guess I just never thought the CSI shows were much to root for.

But he died, OK? And the 53 bicycles were already there. He wanted to buy one but his heart condition got the best of him.

No.

ask a yes or no question to get clues to what happened.

He was murdered because he was cheating at poker.  They were bicycle playing cards and he had an ace up his sleeve.  Also, 42 is the answer the ultimate question and muffins are surprisingly high in calories.  :D

If you don't want me to answer a riddle you have to specify whether or not you really want an answer!  :P  Or, rather, "If you've heard this one before, don't ruin it."

Having said that, don't ruin this one if you've heard it before.

You're dead.  Sucks to be you.  What's worse is that the afterlife is very confusing.  You're now outside the gates of heaven and hell, and they're right across from each other.  Each gate is guarded by an angel.  One can only speak the truth, and one can only speak lies.  You, yourself, are only allowed one question, and then you have to pick which gate you're going through.  What should you ask?

But you only get one question.  You know who the liar is, but now you have to pick a door and you still don't know which is which and you used your only question.  You now have a 50% change of going to hell.

Screw the question, i'd just start talking to the angels and rolling around them in circles for all of eternity.  Just so I am added to that riddle.  "You see two angels, and some random fuck."

I'd ask them if they could open up the gate behind them. Is that the answer??

How does that help you, though?  You still don't know which one you're entering.

hehehe I almost guessed something along those lines, but I did'nt think it trough properly.

Here's a few hints.

Both angels are aware of which is the proper gate. (duh)

The honest angel knows the other angel tells only lies.

The liar knows the honest one always tels the truth.

You don't have to figure out who the liar is. You just have to be certian you're being told a lie..........

I'm gonna post the answer soon...
Title: Re: 20 questions.
Post by: El on December 29, 2006, 04:32:28 PM
Thread=dead.

So, here's the answer:

You ask either angel,  "Which gate will the other angel tell me goes to hell?"  Then, walk through the door they indicate.  Here's why:

If you ask the lying angel, he will indicate the gate to heaven, because he knows the truthful angel will NOT indicate that gate, therefore, the lying angel will be lying whe indicating the gate.

If you ask the truthful angel, he'll know that the other angel will lie and indicate the gate to heaven because the lying angel always lies, so he will point to the gate to heaven as well.

couln't i just have asked them which gate the other would indicate is hell, and then walk through the other gate?

if you ask which gate the other would say is hell, they'll each point to the gate to heaven.
