Depending on the difficulty of the riddle, the more denaro you will get from it, ranging from 100-500. You get two guesses per riddle, after that, all guesses will be ignored.

Ok, here is the first riddle (I started you off with a hard one, because I'm just mean like that, but at least you can get some decent denaro from it):

Complete the last two in this sequence and explain why: 1=3, 2=3, 3=5, 4=4, 5=4, 6=3, 7=5, 8=5, 9=4, 10=3, 11=?, 12=?

Reward: D 500

ok so this has taken me an hour to figure out and i just got it when i wrote out the name of the numbers xD

?=6

one=3 letters so 1=3
two=3 letters so 2=3
three= 5 letters so 3=5

hence

eleven=6 letters so 11=6
twelve=6 letters so 12=6

Alright Mr. Smarty pants, you win. Try this one on for size.

A man had twelve toothpicks in front of him. He took one away. Now he had nine in front of him. How is this possible?

REWARD: 400 D

The remaining 11 toothpicks were arranged to spell the word NINE.

Congrats Kaz.

Alright, you guys are answering these a lot quicker then I intended, so obviously the ones I'm considering "difficult" are not such. Here is a ridiculously difficult one for you, I really hope this one takes you a long time.

The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."

Explain why.

Reward: 500

Blue?

[popebenedict]

You cant just say a color as i said, you need to explain why you got that colour, cause otherwise its just a 50/50 chance XD If you can get this one you'll also gain a ton of respect from me.

[dorkbrains]

well this is a really hard one to explain without getting confusing but the hat is blue

it is all basically from the silence of the other ppl

the guy sees blue blue and thinks maybe there are only 2 blue hats meaning the others see blue white blue white, however because the guy that sees 2 blue hats is silent, then the others know that they do not both have white hats and would then say blue, however the fact that EVERYONE is silent is what leads to the man seeing 2 blue hats to say blue?


idk if that makes sense to u but it works for me

[Kazkame: Ace Attorney]

all three of them see a blue hat on the other persons headthus meaning they are all infact blue

how do u know they see that....

[popebenedict]

Ya, that's the right answer Dork. Your explanation was a little off, but I can see you have the right idea so I'll give you the points for it. I'll post the next riddle fairly soon.

And Kaz, wtf?

XD thats what i said, ty for points it was a hard explanation

[dorkbrains]

dorkbrains is just staying up really late waiting for a stupid riddle to appear from the abyss so that he can yet again solve it but hte dumb white pope is too busy watching his pr0n that i can only sit here and leave messages on his messenger and in this forum to bug him until he finally decides to be less lazy and post something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[popebenedict]

Ok, the last one was hard, but of course dorkbrains had heard of it. Here is one I'm almost positive none of you have heard, and is ridiculously difficult to figure out. If this takes you any less than twelve hours to figure out I will give you a special prize. I might have to skip over this one because its so hard.


The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?



"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

REWARD: D 500
