Thou hast cometh into the riddle section of the forum. I'll post some riddles =_= hopefully they are hard enough to make people think and easy enough to be answered. I don't have much, but you can PM me some riddles, and I'll put them here too. Please don't post riddles urself, coz erm, it will be all over the place. Answerers will be mentioned here below! List of "Answerers"
You have two anti mosquito spiral thing (google it!) and each of them burns for an hour long. How do you determine 45 minutes with those two thingo. Who got it right first gets a cookie! DeepRed, your hint is that it can be burnt form two sides =_= That should be big enough hint XD |

Is it something to do with the fact it's a spiral? |

Nah, it's got something to do with the fact that it can be burnt from both edges :P |

Think I GOT IT! Light one at one end, the other at both ends so it burns in half the time.....after 30 mins one coil will be gone, and the other has half left, so then you light the other end, so it finishes in another 15 mins instead of 30, and BINGO! 45 mins. Did I get it right? |

Haha that sounds about right. I was thinking of just burning one and comparing with the other unburned one. When the burning one has 1/4 left, that's 45 min? |

I'm doing a Graphic Design and Advertising HND- which is like a degree but in two years instead of three, so it's a LOT of work! :wacko: In college in Belfast right now, then next summer off to England
Hehe the iCarina ads have been good practice- brush up on my speed-photoshopping! The newest one there was done in about 7 minutes after Shadowyi asked for a new one....don't want to do the big product unveiling yet! lol!  Working on lots more...brushing up on my tagline-imagining abilities!

Hehe yay! As a potential customer I have input on how often the new ads come out.
 Hmm, the scales one.. divide the coins into two groups of four, weigh them, focus on the lighter group. Divide that group into two groups of two, weigh them, focus on the lighter group. ..can you hand measure them for the last time and figure out which is lighter? :P |

Aha...no one said you have to take all the coins off the scale at once! Put half and half of the coins into each side of the scale, one side will be higher than the other. then at the same time, remove one coin from each scale. If the scales remain unbalanced, the fake is still on the tray. If the scales suddenly balance, one of the coins in your hand is the fake. Empty the scales and measure the fake against one of the known real coins in your pile

I think you're right, DeepRed. Stupid me, I thought he meant lighter in color! |

Lighter in color?? Oh deviously sneaky.. But wait DeepRed, what if you take two off and the scales are still unbalanced? You only have one weighing chance left then.. |

No, you put all the coins onto the trays and remove them two at atime, one from each tray...keep doing that and you've still only used one weighing turn... Your second weigh is at the end when you test the fake coin against a real one |

Sorry, you can't! U have to empty the scales straight away! (you can basically use it twice, if you took one of the coins from each scales, not removing them completely, you considered that weighing them twice!) Have another guess for encouragement! =D
