Title: Logical riddle, not to detect.
Post by: j0hny on September 21, 2014, 11:20 AM
Geniuses know how to answer this?  ;)

You borrow from Mom 50$ and from dad also 50$, you have a total 100$
You buy a pants for 97$ you have rest 3$ ok. Next you give back your mom 1$ and your dad also 1$. Have you rest? 1$.

But if it add up 49$ from mom + 49$ from dad = 98 + 1$ your rest, gives the result 99$
So where is the 1$?  :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

I made a small illustration to better understand this

It's 49+49-1 = 97

You don't have to add that rest of 1$ to reach 100, but you have to subtract it to get the price of the pants

It's like giving back to your parents 1,5 $ + 1,5$ (the exact rest) => 100 - 1,5 - 1,5 = 97 ;)

One for you, j0hny.

Downstairs in your house, there are 3 light switches. Each switch turns on a light bulb upstairs.
You can't see the light bulbs from downstairs.

You can only go upstairs once. How do you find out which switch turns on which light bulb? Took me a couple of minutes to figure that one out without help :)

S = 1+2+4+8+16+32+...
S = 1+2*(1+2+4+8+16+32+...)
S = 1+2*S
S = -1

Turn on the first switch, burns half a minute. Then turn off the first, and turn on the second.
After half a minute, turn off the second switch. then go upstairs and which light bulb is the warmest - belongs to the second switch. Which is slightly cooler - belongs to the first switch, and the last light bulb known to belong to the third switch :)

I guessed in one min :-*

You don't even need to use all three switches. The bulb from the one you don't use will be off and cold.

Are you sure you wrote that properly johny? I mean, considering the way you've wrote it I can only think of 2 answers, either 40, or 0.

40 - It doesn't seem like a riddle, it just sounds like a straight up question, 4 people, 10 each, so 40...

0 - The ONLY part that I could twist, is "Each of them collected" vs "total of gathered", so that would be collected vs gathered, and as gather could imply actually picking them up from the orchard physically and collected could imply someone else handed them over, only reason why I could say 0...

Apart from that, if I am wrong then it's probably a ridiculously easy answer or something lol.

The grandfather is also someone's son, so in your description, there are 3 sons there.
Either that, or your description is incomplete.

It's too large to be Venus or Mercury, never even mind the other planets, which are much further away when you see them during the day.
Supernovas can be such huge light sources that they can clearly be seen, even during the day, so that could be an option.
However, there's a small dark spot in the middle, which is weird. So it must be closer by. My guess would be someone hanging from a parachute (white sails, photographed directly from below). The central dot would then be the person hanging from the parachute.

A programmer task.. I hope there is someone who like programming and haven't seen this already here :D

The task is: add, remove or change 1 character in this C code to make the program write out 20 "-" characters.

There are 3 solutions ;) (I hope the code is not wrong, I have written it from my mind xD)



int main() {
    int i;
    int N = 20;

    for (i = 0; i < N; i--)
        printf("-");

    return 0;
}

int main() {

    int N = 20;

    for (i = 0; i < N; n--)
        printf("-");

    return 0;
}


there is at least another possible answer AFAIK

edit: i think

int main() {
    int i;
    int N = 20;

    for (i = 0; i + N; i--)
        printf("-");

Until we identify it or it lands, it by definition is a UFO ;)

Rok's right, might be focusing too much on the little white dot alone. The ground is flat, so it's safe to assume there's concrete there. Lots of clouds, some debris on the ground. Did an explosion take place? Large cloud low to the ground, but no sign of wind. With a little imagination, you could see a smoke trail behind the glowing object, but that could just be my hard making stuff up. A large fire seems less likely, considering I don't see any flames

3 - Ladder hanging on the side of the ship anchored in the harbor. The lowest rung of the ladder touches the water, and the distance between rungs is 20cm, and the length of the ladder is 180cm. The height of the water increases at a rate of 15 cm per hour. When the water reaches the height from the top of the seventh rung?

It's not that kind of ladder, or it wouldn't be hanging from the side of a ship

if it's a rope ladder then the it doesn't start with a rung, it starts with two holding ropes to hang on to something and then lower, the first rung, and doens't necessarily end up with one (although many do)

if you're thinking metal, symetrical ones are only used in the back of small boats, not sides. Sides are for ramps, or rescue ladders, which again, can end with a rung but don't start with one

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).

That's correct.

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

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".

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.

So is it a photo of a photo? I recognise the airport. Is it special because of who originally took it? Or what it's printed on? Or who was at the airport at the time?

Bloopy: are the 3 entities abstracts?

No. That should be a helpful clue!
Title: Re: Logical riddle, not to detect.
Post by: DarkOne on October 07, 2014, 07:32 PM
This was a photo I took myself from the airplane, no tricks, no photo shop. I used a digital camera.

[...]Or who was at the airport at the time?[...]

If I read well enough between the lines, I think you've found the correct part of the image to look at :)
You can deduce from the image itself what's special about it, though not easily. It becomes easier if you zoom in with photoshop or whatever else you use to edit images. The photo was taken too far away to distinguish people, so no, it's not about who is in the photo or at the airport at the time.

If it's too hard to see on the current image, I also made another photo that's more zoomed in (optically). I also photographed the object in question from other angles, both on the ground and from the plane, but that will make it too easy :)

Bloopy: are the 3 entities abstracts?
No. That should be a helpful clue!

Hmm. Are they people? Or fictional characters? (I'm starting to think you might be talking about the big bang theory, the series - more specifically, the main characters - the physics hint is accurate then, but totally threw me off)

Then there was motion involved at the time of the photo, because your camera was moving at 100s of km/h relative to the subject matter, albeit irrelevant. :P Nice space shuttle though.

No, nothing like that. I'll say that Rok's electron/proton idea was the closest so far.

none of them are stars.

Think tiny, like the protons and electrons. Here's some clues that might help if you want:

Spoiler! View
The 3 entities are all the same type of thing, just with different properties.

Hopefully this is obvious when thinking of tiny things, but there would of course need to be a significant enough quantity of the thing for you to see the 2 things that look like they belong together, or feel that the 3rd one is hot.

There are 3 quarks inside a proton (and 3 inside a neutron), 2 of which are the same. I can't find anything for the gay bit of your description though, so it doesn't quite fit.

What about photons of different wave lengths? Light is one part of the spectrum (rainbow spectrum, totally gay!), the other's friend could be infrared (totally hot) and the other side of the spectrum would be X-rays and gamma rays. The distance would be one of energy level, but the fact that they're all electromagnetic waves suggests they belong together.

Infrared isn't really visible either! Except for bees.
If you have to be able to see them (except infrared, which you can feel, I guess - totally hot), then the other 2 would have to be red light and violet light (red light is the friend of infrared as they are close together in terms of energy, violet is totally gay, the colours share similaries with regards to RGB values, but they are far apart in the visible spectrum)

Correctamundo! Though you didn't explain the change from one to the other part.

The riddle just says the two look like they belong together. It never said anything about the hot friend having any appearance whatsoever.

Post by: DarkOne on October 10, 2014, 10:19 AM
Bloopy, sure I did, they are far apart on the visible spectrum, the difference would be one in wave length 340 nm for red and 750nm for violet (if I recall correctly).

Nice image, Rok :) Bloopy already gave the answer, but you and ropa were still guessing, so i thought I'd see how long it would take you. Here are the other photos I took.

(http://d1.worms2d.info/bird2.jpg)

You can see the shadow of the space shuttle, even in original picture. The plane looks a bit too big to be just one and there's a red carpet laid down alongside it which draws attention to it. If you put these together, you can recognise the NASA logo on the left wing.

(http://d1.worms2d.info/bird1.jpg)

Bad quality photo, I know, the plane was turning over the ocean and I could barely see it, but look on the right side.

(http://d1.worms2d.info/visitor.jpg)

This was taken from the ground during the final landing attempt of the Endeavour. It's currently in a museum in LA and it was the last space shuttle in use; the US has discontinued the use of space shuttles. I count myself very fortunate for having seen this, even more so because my vacation was not at all planned to include this.

Nope, I'm telling you this part is still unsolved! You've got that they look like they belong together, but they're not because they're at opposite ends of the visible spectrum.

Studying that atm - yes, do throw pointy sticks at me for not having found! - and violet is on the lower end (340nm of wave length, though? They teach us 400nm, but I wouldn't be surprised if they rounded it up) whereas red is on the 750nm end. I'd be bound to argue ultraviolet would be hotter than infrared, which itself normally should be colder than red.

But why would you actually have to have something change from violet to red light or vice versa, just for you to know how far away from each other they are in the spectrum? Can't you just look at the spectrum regardless? If it's that difficult, I could try wording it "A shift from one to the other reveals how far away."  :-\

Yea, when the fan is spinning so fast, it show some kinda line effect that slows down slowly, and then it stops for the moment, and then it start accelerating reverse than fan's motion. I hope that's what Stroboscopic effect means. ;)
Also, camera is not so fast to detect it (like 20 or 30 fps), so Helicopter is showing that it's wings are not moving.
