the great puzzle game

[Eastwinn 6]

He goes to another town to get it shaved or he is a she.

[dhoppeii 12]

I would have to go with Alabaster on this one.  No one shaves the barber as the barber is a woman.

[gggg 9]

well.... If theres only one barber in town and he is the only one who can shave the he probobly does it by him self.....

 

this one is to easy

[+Guest]

the point goes to alabaster, the barber was indeed a woman for she was the only one with the permit to shave people, and since women (generally) don't grow beards (i did say generally), she was not affected, but if a man were to be the barber, he'd got to jail because if he'd shave himself, he'd break the law, and someone else with a shaving permit must do it for him

question #9 (1 point)

 

i'm want a new house to be custom built, so i get a building company to build it for me, the only problem for them is that i want all of my windows facing south, where would they build my house at?

[gggg 9]

hmmm.... thatl be a stupid guess but...

I guess on the northiest point on earth.... that way every derection is south

[Eastwinn 6]

Where else, the home of the polar bears... *Drumroll* The North Pole!

[Alabaster 0]

Sounds like gggg's got it. If you built your house on the North Pole, all of your windows would technically be pointing South (I think). Why you would want to live on the North Pole is beyond me.....

[+Guest]

the point to gggg

question #10 (1 point)

what is the air-speed velocity of a swallow

[esc 0]

Isn't that a play? The unladen swallow?

I think it is 43 wing-beats per second. That play was funny.

[chriscf 0]

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
(at which point you reply Huh? I don't know that! and are cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril)

Shall I take the point now, or do you want to repeat the entire scene from the Holy Grail?

Apparently, after some research , it turns out that the real speed is around 24mph, but that's not what you wanted, is it? ;-)

[Alabaster 0]

Chriscf has the right answer. And there was much rejoicing.

 

*........yay........*

[+Guest]

esc it was a trick question, i was refering to the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which chriscf got right, well done and yes, please play the scene again

 

question #11 (3 points maximum)* (another easy question)

 

i am stranded at sea. i have a large supply of food but no water, yet i need water to survive, and i can't drink the sea water (salty water makes someone dehydrated) yet i surivived for say 60 days, how did i survive despite the water shortage (note, the food doesn't contain water)

 

*there may be numerous ways i obtained fresh water, and i've tought of 3 methods of how to obtain fresh water, the points will only be given if they are identical to the methods in my head, however, bonus points may be given if you can think of another method which produces fresh water

 

good luck

[Slowhand 0]

You mean dew, right?

[Eastwinn 6]

Yes it is spelled 'dew' but I don't think you would want to lick that off the side of your boat.

Another answer could be that another person with a huge water supply was stranded too but with no food and when you and him found each other, you joined together and shared. Mabye?

[+Guest]

Slowhand that's one of the three answers, one point

gggg i won't accept dew, like what Eastwinn said, who would wanna lick a side of a boat i'll think about giving a point to you though

Eastwinn its a possibiltiy, but i'm not too sure if i'll accept that, i'll think about it though

 

clue for the other 2 answers

these methods involve a scientific method of extracting pure water, but one is more of a last resort

[gggg 9]

yyyeeaaakkk

just saw a program about ppl that drink theyr own pee

so I thought that it have to be one of those..

 

you can also refine solt woter into clean one if you have the right tools

[Rymac91 15]

well if you boil saltwater don't the salt and the fresh water molicules sperate?

[+Guest]

the last 2 points go to gggg as you can cleani the salt water with the right tools... also pee the only reason why i put that as a possible answer is that i seen it in Brainiac and the film Waterworld or something like that

 

Rymac91 you're right as well, but gggg got it before you did, sorry

 

question #12 (1 point)

 

i'm at d.t.l.a., where is this?

 

boonus point for anyone who can tell me where i got the idea for this question from

[Slowhand 0]

Down to Los Angeles?

This is confusing.

[chriscf 0]

I'm thinking Downtown Los Angeles, if Gary Jules is anything to go by.

That would be both points, yes?

[gggg 9]

yo dude... I think you should start posting how many points every one has..

[+Guest]

gggg gee sorry for having RLS

moving on, question 13 will have to wait (i'm trying to think/find a question! you're getting thme too quick for me to handle) in the mean while, i'll be finding a hard one

[SYM Productions 7]

While we're waiting for question 13...

An answer to question 11... same concept as boiling water... according to Captain Cook, if you take a cake of frozen sea-water, and you thaw it out, it's pure water... same essential concept as boiling it...

question 13 (at last!!!) 1 point

what has 4 legs, then has 2 legs, then has 3 legs?

 

SYM nice try i won't be excepting any possible answers to past questions

[Eastwinn 6]

A human! First we crawl, then we walk on two legs, then you can throw in a cane and that makes three!

[gggg 9]

haha...

thats the oldest question in the book.

and nice answer btw

[+Guest]

it was the first time i've heard of that one, so i never knew it was simple 1 point to Eastwinn

question 14

what does this mean: i4i

[chriscf 0]

An eye for an eye perhaps?

An eye for an eye will make us all blind.
