That's tough.
I noticed that it says there are 7 horses, but only 6 are named and only 6 are described by there color. Is that a mistake...or a hint/clue?
I think this is how it all works out.
(Black #1) - ROCKY,(AGE?),Can Enter/Not going to/Too old
(Black #2) - SUNNY,(AGE?), Can enter/Won Derby last yr
(Black #3) - BEAUTY, 1.5 yrs old, Can't enter
(Brown #1) - BILLY, 3 yrs old, Can enter/Couldn't last year
(Brown #2) - LUCKY, 1.5 yrs old, Can't enter
(White #1) - SNOWY,(AGE?), Can Enter
..............................................ROCKY
....................................../...........|............\
.............................. SUNNY.....BILLY......SNOWY
.............................../..................................\
..........................BEAUTY....................... LUCKY
So....My guess is that Rocky lost last year, It was a pity because he is getting old.
and good try dwightfry but it wasn't Rocky.... :)
ilw... $16,000 ???
:lol: I was just going to say you can add a G to all the words and.......well, good work Ang. :D

How did you get 16,000? I NEED to know!!!! :P
Methinks someone wants another riddle.......hmmmm ?
:P
It was puzzle time down the Pig and Bucket. "It's a real digital dilemma," remarked Bert as he supped his ale. Alf had the self-satisfied smile, he always wore when he was confident he had Bert over a barrel. Alf had drawn the equation below on card and given Bert the digits 1-6. Bert had to put two digits on each line, using each digit once and once only, to make a valid equation.
____ + ____ = ____
Using only the six digits and no further symbols, in how many ways can it be done? ...
as i enter my first post in the riddle world :D
and its wrong :( :angry:
16 Gs....$16,000.....a G is a thousand dollars.Quote:

oh that and the fact I have seen this one before and remembered... :P
Is it possible at all?
closest i can get is 21+34=55
i got 41 + 25 = 66Quote:

35 + 41 = 76 :P
@ ilw...it is.
@ scribblec.......each digit from 1 to 6 only once each
If the sum of the answer's digits is odd, then the digits on the other side add up even. Likewise if answers even the others add up odd. so it won't work, at best your one off
Edit: ok so that must be wrong, or is there trickery afoot?
....afoot, ahand, and anelbow. :DQuote:

(I think?) Or is there trickery afoot?
HINT;
There's another way to make a number from two digits using no other symbols, apart from side by side. ;)
I give up on the horse one :(
it is a hard one dwightfry... :(Quote:

want the answer??
yeah
:o NOOOOOOOO !!!!!
* ok then * :P
okies....
SNOWY, a 4 year old male white horse lost last year.
The Derby is for three year old horses. Therefore only a current four year old horse could have lost last year.
SNOWY is the only horse which could have been three last year (four this year).
The farm is preparing three of the seven horses for this years Derby.....there must therefore be at least three 3-year old horses among the seven. BILLY is 3-years old.....necessarily, BEAUTY and her cousin LUCKY must be 3 years old both. ( they are of the same age)......
Beauty's mum could not be three because she won in the Derby before. The oldest black is even older than BEAUTY's mum.
BEAUTY's aunt could not be three......... if she were, then SNOWY must also be three to complete the three entries this year. This would mean that no horse would be four years old as BEAUTY and LUCKY would be one and a half years old.
does that make sense ????
:huh:
I think I've lost the plot now with all that typing.... :blink:
edit:.... left a bit of the explanation out ... realised when I read it back... d'oh
Can the horses be too old to enter or not be prepared to enter despite being old enough? if not its gotta be the oldest black stallion, if they can be too old or chosen not to enter then it must be the horse of unknown colour.
The name I dunno
Edit: doh. i took it to mean that they had to be 3 or older damn
1^2 + 4 ^ 3= 65
(The '^' aren't needed if you write it out)
I was just gonna say that !Quote:

that still equal 55
^ = to the power ofQuote:

that still equal 55
1^2 = 1 X 1 = 1
4^3 = 4 X 4 X 4 = 64
1 + 64 = 65
4^3 = 64 not 54 :P
Bump!
Anyone seen Riddler recently?
Yeah I seen him the other day looking all dishevelled and confused...looked like he hadn't slept for weeks. He kept muttering to himself " If it takes a bale and a half of cotton to make a smoking jacket for an elephant, how long will it take a spider with a wooden leg to bore through an onion? I don't get it....I just don't get it....AAAAARRRRRGH ! "
Maybe one of you can explain the answer for me and I'll put his mind at ease....poor bugger. :unsure:
:D * Hiya five-oh ! how ya doin' ? *
About seven feet? :rolleyes:
Thought you'd disappeared with Musleman
Ignore the bit about the elephant Riddler, that is just there to confuse you. Concentrate on the spider with the wooden leg, boring through the onion.Quote:

I will give you a couple of days to solve the second part.
Just a quick one till Riddler recovers from eating spider infested onions.
At a local bar, three friends, Mr. Green, Mr. Red and Mr. Blue, were having a drink. One man was wearing a red suit; one a green suit; and the other a blue suit.
"Have you noticed," said the man the blue suit, "that although our suits have colours corresponding to our names, not one of us is wearing a suit that matches our own names?"
Mr. Red looked at the other two and said, "You're absolutely correct."
What colour suit is each man wearing?
Something tells me it isn't this easy, but..............
Mr. Red is wearing a blue suit.
Mr. Green is wearing a red suit.
Mr. Blue is wearing a green suit.
or.........An orange because motorcycles don't have doors.http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Eye%20Spin.gif
http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Felix.gif * I just don't get it.....AAAAAAAH * :blink:
;)
I think Mr. Red is in a green suit. So Mr. Blue would be in a red suit and Mr. Green is in the blue suit.
cheers omc
edit: spelling
Sorry, Riddler, that's not it.
omc - spot on.
Mr Red replies to the man in the blue suit, so he can't be wearing it himself. And we know that Mr Blue can't be wearing the blue suit, so it must be Mr Green.
Mr Red can't wear the red suit, so he must be wearing the green one, which leaves the red suit being worn by Mr Blue.
Bill bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?
:rolleyes: The score is always 0-0 before a game starts ain't it?
Because Bill predicted it correctly? <_<
