Re: The Test of Genius!

There are many answers to all of those questions . . . So this test doesn't really work . . .


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

I think the ball costs 5 cents.

Why is it no? Explain to me.

The question this riddle is asking is: Can you guess the riddle?, NOT What is the answer to this riddle?. You can't guess the riddle, so the answer is no.

Hmm, took me a while, but I think I have some answers..

1, 3

4, I can only guess this was Hurricane Bertha? If not, I have no idea...
5, Single letter before a palindrome  smile  Such as, ananaB
6, No (I only knew the answer because I've heard this riddle before  wink  )

Edit: I have one  smile

A ball and a tennis racket cost £1.10 when purchased together.
If the tennis rackets costs £1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

Apparently most University students struggled with that o.O

5 pence.

And how easy was that?  wink
Some of these riddles confuse me.. How is it Nursery + Primary students answer them easily, but college and University students struggle with them...

I guess It's because the answer is so simple, so if you think too hard, you completely miss the answer xD

Very.

Um.............. O.o err 3?

A dog, meh....

3. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
"You'll sentence me to six years in prison."

4.Why wasn't Bertha put in jail after killing dozens of people?
Bertha's a hurricane. >.>

Re: The Test of Genius!

1. 3
2. dogs
3. "I'll pay bail now..." lol, doesn't it make sense?
4. Bertha is a hurricane
5. if you take away the first letter, it becomes a palindrome.
6. Water

I've heard all of these before, I know #3 isn't correct, but hey, it makes sense.


I have a really funny question, I don't know if there is an answer... Though it's too inappropriate for scratch. PM me on youtube (TimeFreeze1) if you wanna know what it is. Btw, you should know about the "birds and the bees", which is why it's inappropriate for most of the scratch community.

Re: The Test of Genius!

1. 3
2.  Dunno
3.  "You will sentence me to six years in prison"
4.  Dunno
5.  Without the first letter, they are palindromes.
6.  Uhh... hm.. no, I can't guess the riddle.


I have some riddles too:
I am stronger than God,
More evil than the Devil
Rich men want it
Poor men have it
If you eat it, you die.

What am I?

Riddle #2:
Average Joe has been working at the top of a 15 story office building for a long time, and he's fed up with it.  So, angrily, he opens the window, and jumps through.  He lands, gets up, and walks away.  How is this possible?

To clear some things up:
He was at the top floor of the building.
There was no ledge around the building.
No soft material broke his fall.

Second Riddle: Ugh... I've heard this before, but I forgot it... He base jumped?
