Logical riddle, not to detect.

Considering the topic of recent questions, I'll go with Sirius A and Sirius B

Sirius B attracts gases from Sirius A, while Sirius A still glows hot as a blue star. The names suggest they belong together, but they aren't all that close to each other (millions of kilometers apart).

Nice try, DarkOne! However, the hot friend is not one of the two in question, and none of them are stars.

Does it have something to do with physics?

Yeah.

Force and Work sounds plausible

not sure how to put the gay description in there, though.
The friend of Work is temperature (another type of energy - hot)
Force and Work sound like the same thing, but they're not: Force times distance equals Work (W=Fs)

Nice theory with the formula! Still very nope, no formula knowledge needed.

I think I'm lost in words

One's like, kinda gay. The other's friend is totally hot, duh. you've presented 3 entities in this sentence, am I right? The kinda gay, the other, and the other's friend.

They look like they belong together, but they're not. but they're not what? surely the correct syntax is "but they don't"?

That's correct.

They're not together. Saying "but they don't" opens up the (admittedly unlikely) possibility I was meaning They look like they belong together, but they don't look like they belong together. Compare to "They look weird, but they're not" vs "They look weird, but they don't". You would only say the latter if you intended to speak a contradiction, eg. if each is true but from different viewpoints or ways of thinking.

One thing's still not clear, IMO - ~~so the hot and the gay thing look like they belong together, is that so?~~

Scratch that, doesn't look like it.

I dont know what is topic is about, I will get drunk and come back again

So, electron and proton? The electron would be the gay one, merrilly orbiting around the nucleus, while proton's friend, neutron, is the hot one (they basically drive nuclear chain reactions, IINM). Don't know where to put that change and distance thing, though.

Incorrect but nice try. To help narrow it down you could ask yes/no questions.

you leave home, you take 3 left turns only to return home, and find 2 men in masks..

who/what are you?

In my case, a bad driver. I just drove the wrong way on a one way street.

DarkOne · October 05, 2014, 06:12 PM

Bloopy: are the 3 entities abstracts?

avirex: Your house is being burgled!

I just got home, so here's the image I promised:

What's so special about this image? I took this photo myself without photoshopping it afterwards (except downsizing cause it was too big)

Peja · October 05, 2014, 07:00 PM

i guess i am excluded from d1s riddle

DarkOne · October 05, 2014, 09:19 PM

Only if you already know the answer

I think I showed you the other photo, so yeah
