The Hardest Yet!

Posted by flashman16 - February 22nd, 2008

This should be my hardest riddle yet.
You and a dozen other survivers are stuck in the middle of the desert at high noon when the plane you were all in crashes, the others are ages 14-17 and about as bright as a black hole (they're extremely thick)
They turn to you for help.
They have salvaged these items from the wreckage:
1 map
30 bottles of water
1 gun (16 bullets)
1 bottle of whiskey
1 book of desert animals
10 coats
2 newspapers
5 umbrellas
10 packets of sweets
20 nappies
1 box of matches

re-arrange the items in order of importance (what you should use first)
you must state why you have arranged the items the way you have

RULES: 2 points are (no longer) up for grabs in this puzzle, 1 for correctly getting all the items in the right order and the other for correctly saying why.
this riddle is assuming that you willl not be rescued for a long time and that the rainy season is a few years away. The plane is a complete wreck with no chance of it being able to fly ever again and the same is true for the radio.

I'll give one clue: 3 3 3 (i'm not saying anymore than that)

btw my previous riddle doesn't need solving

Everybody who gets a point goes on my Scoreboard.

UPDATE: well, this riddle is closed (i've left the comments open if anyone just wants to chat before the next riddle goes up) i have posted the answer as the 61st comment.
I get the 2 points for this one but never mind, i'll post an easier riddle next time. (if i feel like giving you all an easy time, lol)

ANOTHER UPDATE: i've went and edited my first post, if you wanna check it then please do.

Pic info: I made a Darkness Solar Eclipse pic for darknessthehedgehog, this is the Activated version of it, i've updated it so that it is less busy and so that you will be able to see him clearly, what do you think?

The radio will never fly again OMG!

flashman16 2008-02-22 22:44:44

OMFG!

WolfBlitz2 2008-02-22 22:48:13

XD
Ithink the map will be lastas it might be for the wrong place and wont be useful

flashman16 2008-02-22 22:48:13

=D
incorrect

WolfBlitz2 2008-02-23 05:56:50

so the map does relate to the land they are on?

flashman16 2008-02-23 05:56:50

maybe...

darknessthehedgehog 2008-02-23 14:41:43

cant you make it 11 points so that if we get one correct? anyway

i think the map would come first so they can find out where they are

the bottles of water would be in my opinian 4th only for desprate time they use it

the guns 8th prob cause theres a low chance that they will get attacked

the whiskey would be fith so they share a sip each

the animal would be 2nd cause you need to know which animal is safe to touch and eat

coats would be last cause they will just heat you up (unless its cold in dark)

newspaper/ prob 3rd at night if its a little chilly

umbrella i think 5th so they can cool sweaty people

sweets 6th cause there wouldent be any kids cause this might hppen so they keep them home safe

nappies 10th cause like the last one jus read it

matches 7th cause same as the coats they can heat you (unless its cold in dark)

flashman16 2008-02-23 14:41:43

That would make the riddle easier, this is meant to be the hardest of all (hence the name).

You got all but one wrong

?? you put the whiskey and umbrellas as 5th?
somethin' aint right here...

darknessthehedgehog 2008-02-23 14:43:23

im gonna get this wrong i just bloody know it ^^,

P.S nex ch up WARNING cliffhanger at the bottom dont get pissed off if i make the suspense too much!

flashman16 2008-02-23 14:43:23

yes you did

i'll read it asap

WolfBlitz2 2008-02-23 20:27:41

use the whiskey as a fire fuel
nappies can be used you split into pieces to use as toilet paper or something
newspaper can be used for some sort of dodgy entertrainment or as toilet paper aswell
I am guessing the pilot died aswell
ration the matches and the sweets and also the water.
"The plane is a complete wreck with no chance of it being able to fly ever again and the same is true for the radio."
same is true fro the radio
it will never flay again!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
in conclusion
go one recon missions
apologies if this comes up twice
server said it couldn't send

flashman16 2008-02-23 20:27:41

although what you say is true, you didn't put anything into order

the pilot did die 'cos the survivers are aged 14-17, have YOU heard of a airplane pilot aged 14-17? 'cos I haven't

the radio is a complete wreck, same as the plane, the radio fly's ONBOARD the plane anyway doesn't it? STOP TRYING YOUR HARDEST TO CATCH ME OUT, YOU WILL FAIL MISERABLY!

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!

why the hell do they need to go on recon missions? they're in a bloody desert, not an rpg game or something.

i get that problem all the time.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

............. wrong.

TOXlCITY 2008-02-24 17:05:27

30 bottles of water first

flashman16 2008-02-24 17:05:27

nope

Look at the clue!

101killa 2008-02-24 18:38:23

here is the original:
1 map
30 bottles of water
1 gun (16 bullets)
1 bottle of whiskey
1 book of desert animals
10 coats
2 newspapers
5 umbrellas
10 packets of sweets
20 nappies
1 box of matches

here is what i say:
30 bottles of water
1 box of matches
1 book of desert animals
10 coats
1 gun (16 bullets)
1 bottle of whiskey

the rest are pretty unimportant(depending on what the map is...) but these are all u REALLY need, everything else is a want, the reason that these are needs is that:
1.the bottles of water are your survival, u cannot live without this
2.the matches are to make fire at night since it gets extrememly cold
3. the book is so that u know what animals are, dangerous/eadible/or helpful
4. the coats again for the nights
5. a gun so u can either kill any dangerous animals (or to kill one another in case of emergencies, such as terrible bite, or if you all couldnt make it out and ran out of supplies)
6. the whiskey is to treat any injuries or to help the fire, maybe even to drink if u run out of water
thats it

flashman16 2008-02-24 18:38:23

here is what i say...
all wrong except one

somebody11223344 2008-02-26 12:41:52

Do u use the the matches and the news paper and book and coats to make a smoke signal?

flashman16 2008-02-26 12:41:52

they're not native americans!

your answer is wrong

remember, this riddle is assuming that they will not be saved for quite awhile

darknessthehedgehog 2008-02-26 14:03:01

i got my next ch done i believe its my longest and most dramatic one ever! the end of the story is coming!

P.S at the bottom i got a picture of shadow and redrew it with MS paint i think its turned out good but thats for you to decide

PP.S solar eclipse is in this one so when you have time think you can PM me and give me a description?

flashman16 2008-02-26 14:03:01

i'll read it now

i'll see it now

i'll think it up now

somebody11223344 2008-02-26 14:59:50

1.map
2.1 gun
3.book of desert animals
4.water
5.matches
6.nappies
7.coats
8.newspaper
9.sweeties
10.umbrellas
11whiskey

use the map to try and find a way out, then use the gun to shgoot what u u see thats adible in the book of desrt animals then the water so u dont dehydrate then the matchesd to cook what u shoot, nappies to sleep that night, then cots to stay warm, then throw newspaper where u cooked the food to start fire to stay warmer sweeties, for when you do something good umbrellas, in case it rains somehow, and then whiskey, in case u need to re-populate with the ugly ladies lol

flashman16 2008-02-26 14:59:50

just three items are in the right place
although i see your point about the whiskey!

darknessthehedgehog 2008-02-26 15:51:16

sweet! its great! he looks more badass than ever!

flashman16 2008-02-26 15:51:16

as was intended ^^

WolfBlitz2 2008-02-28 03:04:49

you said
"YOU heard of a airplane pilot aged 14-17?"
actually yes
this may sound atupid
but my friends dad is a pilot and hast taught my friend to fly a plane
as for recon
I thought scouting the area would be good
so to find anything can be found that is useful such as food and such and such

flashman16 2008-02-28 03:04:49

that's recon flying, not passenger flying.
i highly doubt that scouting would be the first thing on these survivers' agenda.
again, it's a desert. i don't think there would be food just lying around.

darknessthehedgehog 2008-02-28 11:22:36

i`ve finished the final ch at the end though i dont know whever or not i`ll continue it

flashman16 2008-02-28 11:22:36

WHAT!?!?!?!?? NO MORE DARKNESS?????
MY WORLD IS FLYING APART!!!!!!!!!!

you could sart up a new story if you wanted to...

but you should probably spend time learning how to use flash (check out the tutorials, they're excellent), that way you could make your own movies. if you needed Darkness sprites just pm me, i should be able to make them.

if you have no idea what sprites are just look at the tutorials. (try the one i marked as my favourite, it's good)

darknessthehedgehog 2008-02-29 05:32:47

sorry im just not into flash sorry man but ive made up my mind there is gonna be a darkness the hedgehog 2 im just not sure when though

flashman16 2008-02-29 05:32:47 (Updated 2008-02-29 08:17:08)

ah well.

Cant wait for Darkness 2!

i only mentioned the Flash 'cos that's the biggest way to get noticed in NG, loads of people check out the flash submissions (i counted once, approx 200 in one minute)

WolfBlitz2 2008-02-29 17:52:33

the recon thing was a different part!
see it was new paragraph!!!!!!!

flashman16 2008-02-29 17:52:33

still not the answer

WolfBlitz2 2008-02-29 17:54:07

there might be plants living in the desert!
looks at the Simpson desert!

flashman16 2008-02-29 17:54:07

who the fuck cares about plants, yes some may be used for survival buit that is not taken into consideration in this riddle.
think of it like this, all there is is you, the survivers, the items and the sand. thats it.

"Simpson desert", as in the cartoon? (Homer Simpson etc)

WolfBlitz2 2008-03-02 02:57:12

the Simpson desert is in Australia
the area spans around Western Australia and South Australia and southern part of Northern Territory i think
it is not a freaking cartoon

flashman16 2008-03-02 02:57:12

oh you meant the REAL Simpson Desert?

when i hear the word "Simpson" i immediatly think of the cartoon.

anyway, what desert they are in doesn't matter, it's what order you put the items in that gets the point.

darknessthehedgehog 2008-03-02 13:56:39

i replied to your comment but be warned you might have a heart attack

flashman16 2008-03-02 13:56:39
