Riddler's Brainteasers...episode 1

[Riddler]

Hello to all you faithful riddlers. After 5 different Gauntlets, 211 pages of countless riddles, 3115 replies and a superstar cast of riddle-solvers, I am officially beginning a new chapter of my Lounge Lizard life ! Much to the chagrin of The Wizard I'm sure, I cna no longer contain the urge to post all manner of brainteasers, puzzles and perplexing peculiarities ( sorry, I just spit :P )
A million thanks to all who accompanied me on this riddle quest and apologize to those who may be disappointed with this transformation.http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Cheers.gif
Fear not however, my fellow loungers, for I am certain we can have just as much fun with this one.

The Gauntlet is dead..........long live The Gauntlet http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Lager%20Louts.gif

And now, without further spam,
Brainteaser number one;

The dinner guests watched in horror as Susan broke both of her husband's arms with a swing of a baseball bat. Afterwards she got praise from everyone, including her husband.

What happened here?

[MediaSlayer]

her husband was in the grip of some sort of trap, and breaking his arms was the only way to free him

[Yogi]

Deja Vu????

Yogi :lol:

[MediaSlayer]

i dint read the deja vu thread completely, so i'm lost

@ Alucard..........yup. :D

@ bb...............http://members.shaw.ca/wenpigsfly/smileys/tooth.gif

@ Sniper....... :D here you go &#33;

The President of the United States is flying on a private plane to Andrews Air Force Base to jump on his jumbo jet to fly to California. Currently the speed of the plane he is in is traveling at 250 nautical MPH and he is currently 500 nautical miles from Andrews Airforce base. It will take approximately 5 mins for him to switch planes and 5 mins to gain clearance for takeoff. Taking all of this into consideration. How long will it take for the The President of The United States to be airborne aboard Air Force One?

[SniperInTheShadows]

This is a trick question isn&#39;t it&#33;? :P :D

I&#39;ve worked it out at 2 hour&#39;s 10 minutes, but i&#39;m positive i&#39;m wrong lol

@ Icey - Grr <_< :P ;)

Yea, but I still chose the wrong answer out of the 2 possible ones I thought of, so I didn&#39;t really get it as much as I almost got it which isn&#39;t good enough as I should have just got it without wondering if I had got it or not lol (Just wondered how long I could make that sentence using "got it" so often, hence why it&#39;s longer than it should be, as it would be shorter had it not been for all the "got it"&#39;s but since I used so many the size couldn&#39;t be helped and i&#39;m going to shut up now before I drive all you peep&#39;s crazy with my insanely stupid rambling lol)

The sentence below describes a certain area of the Earth. Re-arrange the letters of the sentence to find the area.

Common 3rd, 4th, and 5th, these three.
They all have tea, but they don&#39;t eat pea.
Four vowels each, an "a" an absentee.

The first is a mistake, the second a tree,
the third is a pest that stings like a bee.

What are the three words?

Could we have a hint/clue plz Riddler? :)

P.s. The third word wouldn&#39;t be "Scorpion" would it?

EDIT : Damn it, it&#39;s not Scorpion lol &#33;Start&#39;s ripping hair out&#33; :P

Five cars were parked in a private garage. Upon looking at the license plates, a shrewd detective noticed a pattern to the plates. Four of the license plates were:

528 - DVF

120 - EHC

084 - GFB

816 - QDL

What is the remainder of the fifth license plate below?

??? - AWZ

[ilw]

598 :P

[ang3968]

I could not see for the life of me a pattern there.....

1 X 23 X 26 = 598

ahhhhh it all makes perfect sense now... :blink:

While sitting in her lounge chair drinking beer and watching a ball game, Bertha Dribble decided to turn over a new leaf and get into shape. Bertha hollered out to her husband to go to the library and find her a book on physical fitness. When Mr. Dribble got to the library he saw a book with "How to Jog" on its spine. He took the book home. When Bertha finally glanced at the book several weeks later, she found that it had nothing to do with getting into shape. Why?

Woa, just how switched on does a mind have to be to be able to figure something like that out? lol Some peep&#39;s here are genius&#39; I swear :)

Thank&#39;s for posting how it&#39;s worked out Riddler, would have driven me crazy (uu, wait, too late for that, already am crazy lol), uu, you know what I mean lol :)

Sniper.

[Riddler]

I know whatcha mean Sniper. :D
What I don&#39;t know however is what &#39; uu &#39; stands for. :huh: I am obviously not one of those smart people of which we speak. :P

[ilw]

encyclopedia?
How about this one, i can&#39;t remember if its been done before


One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How come?

[Riddler]

Encyclopedia is correct. :) For those who would like an explanation, the 1 volume of the encyclopedia he brought home covered all subjects from " How " to " Jog " ;)

And does yours have something to do with leap years & such ilw ?

[ilw]

along the right lines Riddler, but theres more to it than that :D

Even though he was her twin brother, was he born two day&#39;s after her?

@ Riddler - Your stumped on something I said? Woa lol ;) :P Someone else here asked me what it mean&#39;s too, and it&#39;s just how I say thing&#39;s like "uh" and "um" etc :)

They&#39;re in different time zones

errrrrrr........ what Riddler said. :ph34r: :o :D

[ilw]

Yeah, nice one Rids:

At the time she went into labour, the mother of the twins was travelling by boat. The older twin, Terry, was born first early on March 1st. The boat then crossed the International Date line (or any time zone line) and Kerry, the younger twin, was born on February the 28th. In a leap year the younger twin celebrates her birthday two days before her older brother.

hahaha rofl :P

[lynx]

The older brother is born on a ship or plane west of the IDL at about 12.30am, travelling from west to east. DST is in operation.

The ship/plane then crosses the dateline. If DST were in operation then the time would be 12.30am, but on the previous day. But DST is not in operation, so it is an hour earlier, ie 1130pm and the date is two days earlier.

Edit: doesn&#39;t need to be a leap year for this solution.

In a rectangular array of people, which will be taller, the tallest of the shortest people in each column, or the shortest of the tallest people in each row?

[Keikan]

i got a riddle

I am taken from a mine and locked in a wooden case where am i then released slowly. What am I?

[AussieSheila]

:huh: Are you a pencil?

sounds right to me B)

[ilw]

Edit: Hmm i thought I understood the one i posted, but now i&#39;m not so sure :blink:

[AussieSheila]

:blink: I didn&#39;t but I thought it was just me, and it probably is.

:)

[Riddler]

Hi Sheila. :) Pencil is in fact correct.

Hi ilw :) I have one thing to say about your brainteaser..........HUH ?
:P

I&#39;ll wait for you to help us out a bit on that one before I post another. B)

[ang3968]

ok... I sat here for 15 mins with pencil and paper trying to work it out.....and it aint easy.. so I cheated and googled

The shortest of the tallest people in each row will be taller than the tallest of the shortest people in each column. There are four cases (I think).

The first is that the shortest of the tallest and the tallest of the shortest are the same person, so obviously in this case the shortest of the tallest and the tallest of the shortest would be the same height.

The second case is that the shortest of the tallest and the tallest of the shortest are in the same row. The shortest of the tallest people in each row is obviously the tallest person in his row, so he&#39;s taller than the tallest of the shortest, who is also in his row.

The third case is that the shortest of the tallest and the tallest of the shortest are in the same column. The tallest of the shortest people in each column is obviously the shortest person in his row, so he&#39;s shorter than the shortest of the tallest, who is also in his column.

The fourth case is that the shortest of the tallest is neither in the same column nor the same row as the tallest of the shortest. For this case, consider the person X who is standing in the intersection of the row containing the shortest of the tallest and the column containing the tallest of the shortest. X must be taller than the tallest of the shortest, since the tallest of the shortest is the shortest in his column, and X must also be shorter than the shortest of the tallest, since the shortest of the tallest is the tallest in his row. So TofS < X < SofT.

So the shortest of the tallest in each row is always taller than, or the same height as, the tallest of the shortest in each column.


Now don&#39;t ask me to explain it cos reading back it doesn&#39;t make anymore sense than the bluddy riddle..... :lol: :lol:

Holy Mouthful Batman &#33; :lol:

Last Christmas, in Whistler B.C., a magician was putting on a show during the Canadian Snowboarding Championships.
In one segment, he told the audience that if anyone could guess correctly how he accomplished this trick, they would win fifty dollars.
The magician gave a volunteer from the audience 5 quartersin a plastic cup. Each of the coins was identical except for the dates. The magician then walked off the stage while the volunteer took out a coin, noted the date, and then held it tightly in his fist. When the magician came back on to the stage, he started to ask the volunteer questions. This is how the following questions were answered:

&#39;What is your name?&#39;
&#39;Harry.&#39;
&#39;What is your favourite food?&#39;
&#39;Pizza.&#39;
&#39;Do you remember the year on that coin?&#39;
&#39;Yes.&#39;
&#39;Good, now in your head, subtract 11 from 301 then add your year of birth, then add the year on the coin.&#39;
&#39;OK, got it.&#39;
&#39;Do you think you&#39;re about to get 50 dollars for deciphering this trick?&#39;
&#39;I think so.&#39;

Then the volunteer put the coin back in the cup while the magician was turned the other way. The cup was then given to the magician, who dumped the coins into his hand.
&#39;According to this, the coin you were holding was made in 1992.&#39;

He was right of course and nobody won any money that day. How did he do it ?

[ang3968]

the coin was still warm from his hand?????

Jenny&#39;s aunt recently passed away. In her will it said that there was a treasure for Jenny, if she could figure out the directions. Jenny&#39;s aunt was a great scholar and she loved a good teaser. In the directions she wrote:

My dear Jenny,

To find the treasure that I have left you, you just have to follow some instructions that I have for you. please do exactly everything that I tell you to and you will find the trasure. It will be wrapped tightly in a small packagge ready for you. I trust you, because I know that you are very intelliggent and you will find it for sure. Even if you don&#39;t find it, I know that you would have at least tryed. I know that its really hard for you to figure thiss letter out, but do try. The pakage will be waiting for you there. You have been wonderful person to be vith. So, keep trying and you will find that treasure&#33;

Sincerly,
Your Aunt

If someone can rearrange the following letter&#39;s into a word or word&#39;s that make sense then I think you&#39;ll get the answer lol :) (I can&#39;t make head&#39;s nor tale&#39;s of them lol) -

peggiswca

Sniper. (Might be wrong about this though lol)

EDIT : Missed a letter

EDIT 2 : Removed the letter "T" due to Riddler&#39;s making it even more difficult than it already is lol :P Great that i&#39;ve actually got somewhere with one though, perhap&#39;s one day i&#39;ll get even further lol ;)

[Riddler]

:o you&#39;ve got the idea Sniper, but not quite there yet.

Oh, and btw, as if this stuff isn&#39;t tough enough, I screwed up. :P The word &#39; lease &#39; is supposed to be spelled correctly ( least ) so there&#39;s no " T " in the solution.

* please don&#39;t hurt me * http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Hiding.gif

:lol:

[SniperInTheShadows]

Could you plz give a hint/clue as i&#39;m getting a headache trying to rearrange the letter&#39;s and am now thinking that it&#39;s not that simple lol

Sniper.

[Riddler]

Sorry for the delay Sniper, as jk24 says, the board farted. :P

The letters to unscramble are (in no particular order) ggpveasyce

Hint; The P is capitalized and there&#39;s 2 words. ;)

Thank&#39;s ang3968 :D I was shocked when I was even on the right line to figuring it out, yet alone getting the answer right lol :)

Sniper.

[Riddler]

Hiya peeps. This one&#39;s a repeat but it&#39;s one of my favourites. No searching the Gauntlet for it either...that&#39;s cheatin&#39;. ;)

If you multiply together the number of fingers on one person&#39;s right hand to another person&#39;s to another person&#39;s till you get the product of the fingers on the right hands of everyone in the world, what is the product?

For instance, one person has 5 fingers, and his friend has 5 fingers. The product is 25. Another person, who has 5 fingers would make the product 125. This goes on till everyone&#39;s finger number is multiplied.

Whats the Answer?

[ang3968]

yea great..... <_<

I sat here trying to think how many people in the world there could be and how I could possibly figure out the answer.... :huh:

then I thought.... what happens if someone doesn&#39;t have a right hand....
:rolleyes:
doh

so the answer has to be zero, nada, zilch

[TheDave]

the first person has no right hand so it cannot be multiplied

[Riddler]

Way to go Ang &#33; That even stumped Liam the first time around. :D

I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be.

[lynx]

Phew, you nearly had me there. :P

Do you remember this one, lynx ?

One and halfscore, the posts are showing,
win, place, and show united is rejection as a marking;
the middle five of the whole, a type of setting,
the last eight is a man prone to writing.

Four in one, its middle two is a cannon booming,
with bursts of fire like a hundred stars dancing;
within that center is a country if you&#39;re looking,
a city you&#39;ll find, if you focus on the beginning.

Its first quarter is a letter with a greeting,
the next, a memory with one millenium missing;
then a duke, a prince or a king,
the last, an endless catch in the sport of fishing.

QUESTION: What is the word?

[Alucard1475]

Chiromancer :ph34r:

[Riddler]

:D You&#39;re either wicked smaht, Alucard.......or have a great memory. :P

What phrase does this Rebus represent ?

Ting Ting
Door Wall

[UKMan]

Sorry to butt in, but heres a trick one. What proverb is represented by the following illustration:

The chief of a tribe in Africa decided he needed a new throne. So he ordered his slaves to build him one made of the finest wood from the forest. It took many weeks to achieve this, but finally they succeeded and presented the new throne to the chief.

He was very pleased and asked them to place it up in his grass hut on wooden stilts in the middle of the village. This they did and when finished, all stood back and admired the brand new throne in the grass hut of the chief.

But, to everyones dismay, the weight of the new throne was so much heavier than the older one and all of a sudden, it fell through the floor of the hut and smashed to the ground in small pieces.
........

Remember, use your imagination well&#33;&#33;

[lynx]

You go away for a couple of minutes and three have been posed and solved. :rolleyes:

Nice one, UKEmbossedMan :lol:

[UKMan]

Riddler is too clever for most of us me thinks ;)

Heres another one:

An oil heater salesman wasnt doing too well, so he decided to travel to an eskimo village. His idea was that they are so cold they must need heaters in the igloos.

The head of the tribe however informed the man that the igloos are so warm they didnt need any. The man didnt give up and asked them if they ever got cold whilst fishing?

The head of the tribe said, "well yes, sometimes - especially the feet". The man then decided to demonstrate how much better it would be if they had these oil heaters in each canoe and kajak or fishing boat.

Unfortunately, they all caught fire and everyone had to swim back to save themselves.

What is the proverb??

@UKman: Can&#39;t quite figure it out, is it just a matter of altering the wording slightly(bear with me here, I&#39;ve slept about seven hours in total the last three days, and almost exactly one in the last thirty, my mind feels fuzzy :blink: ).

@Snny - half of what you wrote is nearly correct - thats another riddle - sorry :lol:

Can you work out the moral of the story?

A Fisherman goes down to the river and sets up his lines. He notices a Pig sitting there also fishing in the same river. They start talking and the subject turns to bait. The Fisherman says to the Pig that he has discovered that by using pearls instead of worms, he catches more fish and lends the pig some to try out. As the fisherman puts his hook in the water the pig stands up and punches the man then storms off.

:D :lol: quite sure :P

heres a clue:

The policeman, explained to them in a very drawn out way, why 2 adults like that should not be fighting each other. The two guys, realising that they were in for trouble and would have to pay a fine, tried their hardest to come up with excuses - but in the end, they got fined anyways - which is why i told the shorter version, instead of this longer one ;)

[bigboab]

I dont want to see ewe two at it again?

[UKMan]

@bb - snigger.....nope :P

[titey]

Might it have anyfing to do wif a "kangaroo court"? :huh:

I know, but I took precaution&#39;s rofl :P

Sniper. (Going to throw a boomerang at UKMan for this puzzle soon if I don&#39;t find out what it is lol ;) :P)

EDIT : Scrap the boomerang idea, I just realised all he&#39;d need do is duck and it would come back and hit me instead&#33;&#33; lol :lol: ;)

EDIT 2 : Boomerang idea&#39;s back on, I just realised that if I angle the path of it right then when he duck&#39;s it&#39;ll actually come back and hit him where the sun don&#39;t shine&#33; rofl :D :P

[UKMan]

We are supposed to be looking for a well known phrase or saying bro :lol:

"Because their compasses wouldn&#39;t work in the poles" isnt a well known phrase or saying as far as i remember :D :lol: :blink: or is it??

Looks like i&#39;m gonna have to break out the answer then.......not just yet though ;)

[UKMan]

the answer is:
"they were walking round in circles" ;)

[ang3968]

ok.. here&#39;s a quickie for ya

it&#39;s an expressional phrase

"Our male competitor&#39;s name is Sin, you better check him out"

[Riddler]

This is a stumper, Ang. I&#39;m tryin&#39; but I may need some help. :unsure:

[AussieSheila]

:o Doh&#33; I walked around in circles for hours yesterday trying to get that one&#33;

B)

[ang3968]

The solution may come from using synonyms or playing with sounds (and possibly homonyms) from the stated expression.

example...... "I&#39;m taking that girl Andrea Walk out tonight to that &#39;tricky part&#39; of town"

would solve to......

"Take a walk on the wild side" .....
or broken down further:
"Take A(ndrea) Walk on the wild (wiled - Trickery; cunning) side (of town)."

so I can&#39;t really give a clue without giving the whole thing away..... hope this helps... :)
