"Where do vanished objects go?"
Into non-being, which is to say, everything.

Thats an exact quote, question and answer from the seventh book of Harry Potter.. Mcgonagoll (can't spell) answers with that answer to that question asked by the door to get into the Ravenclaw common room.

I know that riddle was just for fun (though it was more just an opinion, not a riddle) but please don't try to pass other people's work off as your own.

The problem with your riddle is that there are trillions of ways he could have ran out of money.

He could have thrown it out a window, spent it on cookies, got scammed, burned it, mailed it, eaten it, lost it in Texas Hold 'Em, or many more.

Look into me, you only see one.
Put another in front of me, you see infinite.

What am i?

ANSWER:
A Mirror. When you look into it you meresly see a reflection (only one.) When you put a Mirror infront of a mirror, you see many (Infinite if they were exactly facing eachother, it would go on and on forever).

Halfway; the poor one is her brother; the match.

All good riddles with a single good (albeit simple) answer. I enjoy riddles that use common sense to discover the solution, so hats off.


Alrighty then smart boy.
I made a new one (just now, so its quite sucky, no time to think :p)
This one requires less common sense, so should be a bit more harder for u to figure out.

Who are we?
One to show love.
One to show hate.
One to take.
One to indicate.
Many of us, though many uses. Thats why u would not want to miss 1.

Haven't figured any of the other riddles out, yet. I can't wait until people start posting some really good ones, that'll be fun. I might actually join this, if I can come up with a riddle.

Here's a riddle for fun:

(I did not make this)

You are in a room, which has 2 doors out of it, Door 1 (D1) and Door 2 (D2). There are two guards in front of each door, Guard 1 (G1) and Guard 2 (G2).
One door leads to death, the other leads out to freedom. One of the guards ALWAYS lies and the other ALWAYS tells the truth. They have agreed to answer 1 question and 1 question only. You can not ask G1 one question then G2 another... What question could you ask to make sure you got out on the open door?

What would the other guard say if I asked, "Is this the door that leads to life?"

All wrong. Neither guard knows you, meaning they can simply guess colors or just say they don't know. You're also assuming they realize the secret of life, which is a big assumption. Also, you never know what the secret of life is for sure if one of them is lying. YOU know the secret of life and YOU get to judge who's lying?

That's a laugh. None of us really know it because it's perception. The question solves nothing.

This riddle is old. It just be fairly simple.

But what I'm saying is that, one of the guards always tells the truth.. Meaning that he can't say a lie. He has to answer the question and say the truth, so I'm inferring that what he says has to be correct, and is always so. The riddle doesn't mention which facts the guard does or doesn't know.. The secret of life question was a joke. Albeit an unfunny one. :)

Wait.. My first question was right though I think.

"Ask what the other guard would say if you asked, 'Which is the right door.' "

The liar would lie and say that the truth teller would say the wrong door.
The truth teller would tell the truth that the liar would say the wrong door.

They both said the wrong door.. Meaning it's the other one.

I think we can all use common sense and realize that a complete stranger cannot say the truth he or she doesn't know.

If I ask you right now what my real name is and you say ANYTHING other than what it really is, are you lying? No. You're either guessing or saying you don't know because you don't.

Let's not look for ridiculous loop-holes because we're too immature to realize that we made a mistake in what we said :)

And no; The two doors would have the same result. One saying it's the other door, one saying it's their door. You don't know who's right.

There are TWO guards PER door, according to the riddle.

Door 1 Guard 1, Door 1 Guard 2, Door 2 Guard 1, Door 2 Guard 2.

Which door is the right door?

Door 1:
Guard 1: This door.
Guard 2: That door.

Door 2:
Guard 1: That door.
Guard 2: This door.

Pick a door.

    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
