Radiance Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Darnit i missed an easy one.... Whoa... first it wasnt a needle then it was? :S A changing needle! [sorry i was bored..] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Oops! Sorry! It wasn't a needle. Isabel got it. It was a sewing meching. Birbal was jester, counselor, and fool to the great Moghul emperor, Akbar. The villagers loved to talk of Birbal's wisdom and cleverness, and the emperor loved to try to outsmart him. One day Akbar (emperor) drew a line across the floor. "Birbal," he ordered, "you must make this line shorter, but you cannot erase any bit of it." Everyone present thought the emperor had finally outsmarted Birbal. It was clearly an impossible task. Yet within moments the emperor and everyone else present had to agree that Birbal had made the line shorter without erasing any of it. How could this be? This one is really clever!

ishamaria Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 He stood on the very end of it and tried covering that part of the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hmm... tricky... did he draw another, longer, line next to it? Then, technically, it was shorter - than the longer line! Actually I have no idea this is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hm... Did he draw another line through it? That way the origional line is split into two smaller prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancreatic dragon Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 He drew an extension of hapy big line making happy little line smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 He drew a longer line parallel to it? Ops mine is similar to Anime nevermind then lol. I remember is this from a story book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Easy? Or Hard? :* Isabel and Radiance, this time. Two again. Easy, but Stupid. :P A) What is half of 8, yet isn't 2 x 2, 0 also isn't what I'm looking for from you. b) What common, English word has the letters "WSP", in that order, without any letters between?

darksun Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 B should be newspaper(s). ohhh u are good :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 A can the answer be o? not 0, but o. I think the last line hints this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Gilbil Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Yes I agree with priory on the letter "o" That was my guess when I read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Oh, thx, at least I have someone to support my answer. Brief explanation IF darksun doubts: The last line says "what I'm looking for from you." It's double-meaning-ed (what I'm learning in Chinese now ^^, a good practice :P) It means Myriad is looking forward to the answer from you the poster, and looking for the answer from the word "you". Combining the former lines, I think "o" has to be it. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Suddenly grows to love this letter :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Whoa. You are seriously complexed. That sounds really right, but it isn't. You're almost there! And uh, yeah it's neWSPaper. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Ohhh its the letterr 3! yah......... its taken as well -_- The last line gives it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Oh wait. Somebody said three? Coolness! Yeah it was three. ^_^ In a country, there exists over 100 streets. Street 1 is named First Street, street 2 is named Second Street, and so on and so forth. A traveller decides to walk through all these streets in the country. He could find all the streets except Street 62. No matter how hard he tried, he could not find it. He later found that the locals had given the street another name. What is the name? I got this one! It's really easy! :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
