Riddler's Brainteasers...episode 1

[titey]

I can't wrap my head around how to figure out an equasion for this, but it must be 2 red an' 4 blue.

[ilw]

a bit of the reasoning behind it,
there are 36 possible combinations, so for equal odds each player must win with 18 of these 36. Tim's wins are 5 x two blues + 1 x two reds.

I was gonna say 3 each before the last post, but it just didn't seem possible that it was right, so I said 2 & 4.... but after twiddlin #s, I'm back to 3 & 3 again.


It still don't seem right though, but....





An' NO, I'm not just workin my way down the possibilites.... if'n this ain't it, then I quit!

[ilw]

3 each wins the prize



for old times sake

Wow, had to get out the Big Shovel to dig this back up.

A woman was standing at a table while a man sat on the other side of the table. The man had a drink but had not ordered any food. The woman took something out of her shoe and put it in front of the man on the table. The man looked at it carefully but did not touch it. The woman then took something else out of the same shoe and put it on her side of the table, but the man did not look at it. The woman then took something else out of her shoe and put it on the table in front of the man, who looked at it but again did not touch it. The woman then pulled a fourth object out of her shoe and put it on her side of the table. This time the man looked at the object she had just put down and asked her politely not to give him anything else from her shoe. What is going on here?

They are playing cards...blackjack?

[Riddler]

Hiya SnnY...." hit me."

What do the following numbers - and only these numbers - have in common?
3 7 10 11 12

[Snee]

Only vowel in them is "e"?

No wait- there's always seventeen, and so forth
Only numbers without teen in them, but still with only "e's" then

[Riddler]

Uh-oh, this could be another short night for this thread ! You're on fire again.

This one was designed to stump the peeps in warm climates...I doubt you'll have any trouble with it SnnY.

Eight children spent a fun-filled 2 hours on a winter's day running back and forth between two houses, throwing rocks at the houses. Their parents watched them without trying to stop them at all, even though there was ice where they were running. In fact, the parents cheered the good throws. Why?
