A few brainteasers

Posted by flashman16 - February 8th, 2008


Here are three riddles for you to solve, yes that does mean that there are 3 points up for grabs!

#1 What is the missing number in this sequence: 20, 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, ..., 15, 2, 17 (please say how you got this answer, dont just randomly guess! no reason, no point!) SOLVED by Kid

#2 How far can you run in a straight line through a forest? SOLVED by Gatling

#3 What do these have in common? SOLVED by WolfBlitz2

A few brainteasers

#2 depends if you are drunk or not and have some co-ordination, depends also on the distance before you run into a tree or a branch
#3 they are all man made or they are used in defence

#2 is wrong, you are running in a straight line so you are not drunk. and lets just say that you are able to run straight enough but dont smack into any trees
#2 is correct (the man made one, I dont know how YOU would use a yellow drinks can for defence but that is the wrong answer)

#3 They all have "c" in their names xD

that one has been solved (they are all man made, although your way is correct it wasn't the one that I was thinking of)

#1 Fifty twelve!

Oh, wait, I actually mean 9!

Both numbers are wrong

2. about 10-15 minutes because its very easy to get lost
3.is it because they are all solid matter?

wrong

that ones solved (anyway a can is hollow, not solid)

5? i'm trying different ways to get it right, lol

keep trying, oh and btw please say how you got the answer if you get it right, there is a sequence, it may not be obvious but it is there...

#2 How far can you run IN a straight line through a forest?

Hey I'm back and I already knew the answer to this riddle 'cuz I heard it before:

Halfway, once it hits the halfway point, it is coming OUT the other side.

correct!, try the last one (which happens to be the first, lol!)

I don't like number sequences! They're a pain. And can you post a little scoreboard, please? That would be awesome

I did post a scoreboard!
Check my 5th post!

you can throw a can at somone in defense for example if they are harrassing you throw something at them to tell them to piss off

You meant SELF-defence? Oh ok, nice example btw, I actually did that yesterday (some fanny kept shouting abuse so to shut the prick up I threw my coke at him, hut him square on the nose, after that he fell pretty silent [FM16 1: Loser 0])

or if you were in a food fight
throw a can in someone's face
that should hurt

probably would

it is a type of defence

it is

is it 10?

why do you think 10? You must give a reason!
Your number's right but you dont get the point unless the reason of WHY you got 10 was correct

It's 3

why 3?, dont just randomly guess (wrong anyway)

No random guess, I thought that was the pattern. Anyhow, might it be 7?

what pattern was that? might not be 7

31?

no reason no point, wrong anyway

heres one for ya a classic

if a tree falls down and no one around to hear does it make a sound?

Easy, if there is no one to hear it then it cant make a sound

now solve mine!

i`ll catch you out in this one!

how many words are in this line of words amverkmgermgernmgarggandr

this will catch you out!

i'm no great shakes at words and that ( i'm a numbers person) however if i had to take a guess then i would guess somewhere about 38 however if your talking about whole words (not broken up) then there are only two
if i'm wrong then thats ok 'cos i'm briliant at numbers

and anyway that isnt a line of words, it's just a group of letters

the reason why I said it was because
20, 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, 10, 15, 2, 17 matched perfectly
I thought to myself what number could they have not used
and i thought 10!
so there is my reason
now give me my cookie!

it's not the reason i'm thinking of, the answer is simpler than that, you could easily carry on the sequence for ten more numbers. keep trying!

for darknessthehedgehog
the is only one
it is line
am i right?

wrong, the word "and" is there as well, and that is if your only counting whole words, there are lots broken up as well

come one half point at least
control of your user account at most XD

you made a funny!

I did give you a reason!
I thought which number NG user have not guessed
so i thought ten!
also
20, 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, ..., 15, 2, 17
it was missing two didgits 1 and 0
10!
and 10 snugs perfectly there

thats not the reason i'm thinking of (anyway, there was a 1 there (the 1, after the 20) and the 0 is in the 20)

my reason is much simpler than that!
