Izzy ♥ Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 *looked up the answer* No-one's gotten it yet...
antiaircraft Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Since I've heard this one before, I'll pass on it to give everybody else a chance. :P
Myriad Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 Sorry! Iwasn't on my computer yesterday. None of those answers are right, but they're good answers. When you put the lines down, none of them touch.
Captain Awesome Pants Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Hmm... -thinks- Yeah I got nothing. I'll come back if I do.
ishamaria Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Is this a trick question? If it is is the answer 2380 + 620= 3000
Ellie_Penguin Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Well, this is actually simple lol. Just do what it says and you get. 6/20 = 30 0/0 6 divided by 20 = 0.3, but if you mulptiply it by 100 you get 30. I'm guessing it's 30% since we can't add any decimals?
Izzy ♥ Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah, that was it :) I would never have gotten that if I hadn't looked it up lol
Ellie_Penguin Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah, that was it :) I would never have gotten that if I hadn't looked it up lol At first I thought it was an equation 'cause it really seemed like it, so I took a paper and did the same thing you guys were doing, until I read that Myriad said it wasn't the answer.
ishamaria Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I wouldn't have gotten that. You know a couple of seconds later I was thinking of some thing like that. I hate being so much younger than you guys. I think...
Myriad Posted November 22, 2007 Author Posted November 22, 2007 Yeah! Great job! That one was rated really hard. An easier one, this time. :) I am used to bat with, yet I never get a hit. I am near a ball, yet I am never thrown. What am I?
antiaircraft Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 The first thing that came into my mind was 'eyelashes'.
Neiska Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 The first thing that came into my mind was 'eyelashes'. And I think you're right ^_^ It's what I thought of, but you were the first =P So come on Myriad,entertain us some more ^_^
ishamaria Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 No!!!! I am always so late 'cause of homework.
Myriad Posted November 23, 2007 Author Posted November 23, 2007 Awww. You'll get it this time! 'Eyelashes' was the correct answer. :) This next one is pretty hard, I would say. Greep Hooke was never so nervous about performing before an audience. His patron invited five of his friends to watch him do his much acclaimed juggling act. Of the five, two were mathematicians from MIT where his patron is a benefactor, one is a famous movie actress, another is a Nobel Prize winner for Physics, and the last is a World Champion athlete. Greep did his best and afterwards thought he did the performance of his life. After the guests had left, his patron showed him a piece of paper which contained the ratings. It read: Mr. A= 28 Ms.B= 10 Mr. C= 300 Mr D= 6 Mrs. E= O Greep asked his patron whether a common rating scale was used by the guests. His patron just smiled. QUESTION: How did the guests rate Greep's juggling act?
Citta Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Mr A: Mathematician. Some kind of maths formula? Ms B: World Champion. She rated 10/10 Mr C: The Nobel Prize Winner. He rated 300 because he was doing some physic calculation thing. Mr D: Mathematician. Counting the number of times Greep juggled Mrs E: The Movie Actress. She rated 'O' for Outstanding (Or shape of juggling act?) I'm hopeless. But I want to give a go :P
Myriad Posted November 26, 2007 Author Posted November 26, 2007 You got some right, and you were kind of on the right wavelength for some. For the 10, think about what kind of number it is.
antiaircraft Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Ack! I ended up looking this up. That's pretty close to the mark...
ishamaria Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 I'll look it up, wow I never would have gotten this! o_O
Ellie_Penguin Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Did they all get perfect scores or something? or like As?
Myriad Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 No, I don't think so. Here's the hint: Mr. A and Mr. D are the mathematicians. Ms. B is the actress. Mr. C is the athlete. Mrs. E is the Nobel Prize winner.
Citta Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Ah well, at least I got A & D correct... Too hard... must resist... to google riddle...
Neiska Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 ... mhh ... I think I'm gonna skip this one... Can't get any logical answer with those little brains of mine ... =P
ishamaria Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Yeha I know I couldn't resist looking it up too.
Myriad Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 More hints, then? Mr. A, the mathematician, gave it a 28. What kind of number is it? Ms. B, the actress, gave it a 10. Think about a movie called 10. Mr. C, the world champion bowler gave it a 300. Think about his sport and about the number. Mr D, the professor, gave it a 6. It's the same answer as Mr. A's. Mrs. E, the Nobel Prize winner gave him a O. Think about it's shape. Also, the act was REALLY GOOD.

Well 300 is called a "Perfect Game" because that's the highest score you can ever get if you are a bowler. 28 and 6 are perfect numbers. 10 must be the highest ranking you can get? (the whole 1-10, 10 being the best thing). The last one, I have no idea.
