I thought new riddles can come only from those who answer correctly unless it's a free game?

Anyway, it's probably the number that is written on your ear drum from the inside. :p

Hm...

Maybe then what he did was something like...

The cooker used roman numbers to write the ammount of cookies, and one day he wrote the numbers in arabic. There were 11 cookies in the box.

The servant then re-converted the arabic number to roman, making it VII, and thus leaving only 8 cookies in the box, eating three himself.

yet, It's not exactly 1/3 of teh cookies..

Nope, he took exactly 1/3 of the original number.

I win!

Anyways, are you sure he ADDED a line? Is this only on one number system?
I think maybe there were 777 cookies. He added a line to each one and made them 111. That's alot stolen, though.

111 cookies to 81?

There were originally nine cookies in the box.

The baker normally writes the numbers out in English (note: English lord), but he decided to write nine in roman numerals for whatever reason:

IX

The servant, noticing this, merely added an s beforehand:

SIX

and took three of the nine cookies, or exactly 1/3, leaving six behind.

Hmm... was expecting a bit more time before you responded. How about....

In the land of Technologia, government spies are equipped with special unbreakable SafeBoxes(TM) to carry valuable documents. Because these boxes are expensive to produce, they have no locks, and each spy also carries a set of special retina-scanning padlocks that are destroyed after each mission, and only work for the spy to which they are issued. Jordan, a spy from Technologia, needs to deliver a series of critical documents to Alan, another spy, but his current situation disallows him from bringing the documents himself, nor can Alan come to get the documents from Jordan. Thus, he must rely on the notoriously unsafe postal system to deliver the documents. How is Jordan able to ensure that Alan receives the documents and that only Alan is able to read them?


P.S. It looks like you're new here, belowhell... try not to double-post within a time span of 24 hours.

The postal system isn't safe, therefore the documents could be read while en route.

Having Alan's name on the letter doesn't make the letter itself any more secure. :p

Oh.... see, that's the problem with posting that sort of thing quickly.

Alan cannot come get the documents, as he is in a similar situation. Edited the post to clarify this.

How would that stop people that intercepted the SafeBox(TM) and eye from opening it? That's like sending a locked box with the key taped to the outside.

Edit: It's also not the reader's SafeBox(TM), it's Jordan's, and I'm pretty sure spies need their eyes, especially if they carry retinal-scanning equipment. Sending one through an unsafe postal system wouldn't be the best idea, unless Technologia happens to have cybernetic ocular implants, which would probably destroy the idea of having retinal-scanning equipment in the first place.

Put this box in another box then lock the box it was put into.

Threaten anyone who reads a rote on it that you are behind this with your **** in hand ready to *** rape them if they open it.

I'm going to base my post on an assumption:
This is a futuristic setting

Based on this, I must then put that these people will have futuristic way's of sending things to each other. Heres what I guess...

The sender made a massive version of the stuff, and sent it using Wonka-Vision. The reciever then took it from his TV.

-OR-

Encrypted E-mail! Assuming it was a document, that's would be quite safe.

Maybe he threw some unimportant things for the other people, and hid the document under thoose, or he walked to his friend <spy> and delivered it itself, I didn't really think about it...:rolleyes:THINKING:rolleyes:...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
