The riddle says that the 4 men fell into the water. They wouldnt fall into the water if they were in a upsidedown boat wich tipped over the right way. Besides, if the 4 men were already in the water, they would still be wet.


1/1=1, sound logical. But my gues is that 1/1=?.

Wrong, it said they fell "in" implying in the boat, don't try to change the words.

And what about the wet part?

EDIT: Come to think of it, they wouldnt really fall IN the boat if they are already sitting in it wouldnt they?

Being that we are getting so many riddles not even for the "contest", I have decided this thread is no longer a contest at all. It's the riddle "thread", plain and simple. Keep using it like you were, though.

Besides, this would never get any awards anyway :)

Lol.
To the fun riddles i posted... im sorry they are ALL WRONG! ROFL :D!

for the boat, thats what i guessed my first time too lol anman.

the answers LOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK!
4 men were in a boat... Answer = They were all married. It said not a "single" man, as in relationship status.
Maybe I should've explained better, they fell "in the water". Sorry.
1+1 = [2], 1X1=[1], 1-1=[0], so 1/1=[-1]. Why? Look at it this way:
1+1 = [2]
1X1 = [1]
1-1 = [0]
1/1 = [-1]
See the pattern? 2, 1, 0, -1? It's a simple riddle lol.

And to hortonnons riddle...
air?
gravity?
the dichotomy of good and evil? LOL

But...
1+1=[?]
1x1=[?]
1-1=[?]


Doesnt 1/1=[?] sound like a logical next answer too? :D

Ok @ SilverHawk, this isn't math class -_- riddles (and jokes) don't have to fit in with the world. They fit in with what's in the riddle.

And with sjakie, it is logical but that riddle is supposed to be said out loud like I would ask, whats 1 + 1 and they would say 2, but since i cant go like that, i put the ? mark is in, what is it? you answer. but it actullay should be easier to understand when you see it... so you can see the 2,1,0,-1....... its laggy for me...every second it freezes... lol

But 1/1 isn't a problem
Everything is divided by one

6 = 6/1

I think the answer to the money/hotel one is that the man didn't have the hotel room checked in yet, so he payed for the room (Which was quite expensive) and then had no money.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
