So, unless I knew something about you and eggs getting banned, it wouldnt be easy for an uninformed reader to get the anagram. correct?

(B)

I'm not convinced it is an anagram, since he has a letter 'Q' in there and no letter 'U'... Unless the 'Q' is used in an abbreviation, such as Q.E.D. or q.v.

yeah, I was messing with that last night too, it's not an anagram

[Sicily Leader]

i dont know what it is called then it is one where each letter means another letter. example a=j, b=k, etc. these aren't the actual letters, but still try to get it. once someone gets it i will change it. the white text has to do with it...as a continuation

[Button Pusher]

I don't wanna discredit Tyler, because its possible i'm incorrect in my thinking, but we do live in the information age, and i was able to crack all the crytograms i've seen so far with relative ease with just a lil bit of knowledge on the hint so if you wanna throw more out there i'd like to do some :)

[Emcee PeePants]

how do cyrptograms work?

[Sicily Leader]

how do cyrptograms work?

each letter is replaced by a different letter. like all a=h or b= z. these aren't the actual letters.

jk jua= hi how h=j i=k u=o w=a

[Emcee PeePants]

oh okay, so you just try to find the letters they stand for?

longer ones are easier

ALL THAT WE ARE IS THE RESULT OF WHAT WE HAVE THOUGHT. IF A MAN SPEAKS OR ACTS WITH AN EVIL THOUGHT, PAIN FOLLOWS HIM. IF A MAN SPEAKS OR ACTS WITH A PURE THOUGHT, HAPPINESS FOLLOWS HIM, LIKE A SHADOW THAT NEVER LEAVES HIM.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Here's a better question:

Assuming all either play keys, sax or drums and named Tallboy, Weezer or Roo..

If Tallboy does not play sax and isn't called George, Joe does play drums, and Weezer does not play sax or drums, then whom is who and who plays what?

[Sicily Leader]

Tallboy a.k.a. Joe plays drums. Weezer keys. Roo is sax.

i think

[Sicily Leader]

this i easy

who am i

you will kill me,but you will cry.

willywutang is hanging out on a heavily forested island that's really narrow: it's a narrow strip of land that's ten miles long. let's label one end of the strip A, and the other end B. a fire has started at A, and the fire is moving toward B at the rate of 1 mph. at the same time, there's a 2 mph wind blowing in the direction from A toward B. what can willywu do to save himself from burning to death?! assume that willywu can't swim and there are no boats, jetcopters, teleportation devices, etc.. (if he does nothing, willywu will be toast after at most 10 hours, since 10 miles / 1 mph = 10 hours)

[Sicily Leader]

super easy.

I am greater than God, and more evil than the devil. Poor people have me. Rich people want me. And if you eat me, you'll die. What am I?

[Sicily Leader]

You have 9 dots arranged like a rectangle:

. . .
. . .
. . .
Without lifting your pen, draw four lines that cross all 9 dots.

Good Hint: This is a very famous problem. It was actually responsible for the cliche: "Think outside the box."

[YetAnotherKitten]

Tallboy a.k.a. Joe plays drums. Weezer keys. Roo is sax.

i think

Who is weezer and roo? :P

(if he does nothing, willywu will be toast after at most 10 hours, since 10 miles / 1 mph = 10 hours)

If the fire is small, he can put it out using the water. If it's large, he can start a second fire (using the first) and set it down at end B. He can wait in the middle while the second fire burns itself out, then go stand in the ashes. By the time the other fire reaches him, it won't have anything to burn since it can't survive on ash...

Or he could just stand in the shallow water till the fire burns out :P

He could Also twke two hours making a decent waterline across the island. i don't know if its freshwater island or not but i think even slatwater can stop a fire if you drench the forest at least a row of trees

[Sicily Leader]

i dont know the true answer myself, but he starts a second fire and steps in the ashes. He drowns to death. He walks through the shallow water around the fire.

I would have drawn a circle. or erased most of the dots

[Sicily Leader]

Who is weezer and roo? :P

they are losers who noone cares for

[Sicily Leader]

I dunno who. Please post all the riddles you know

[Sicily Leader]

this thread has been neeglected

[YetAnotherKitten]

Golden treasures I contain, guarded by hundreds and thousands. Stored in a labyrinth where no man walks, yet men come often to seize my gold. By smoke I am overcome and robbed, then left to build my treasure anew. What am I?


and one for jacx

A mountain goat attempts to scale a cliff sixty feet high. Every minute, the goat bounds upward three feet but slips back two. How long does it take for the goat to reach the top? (jacx just imagine you are at the top)

[hoos]

It wouldnt slip if John were at the top, but it takes 58 minutes I believe, though I just did that quickly.

[Grendel]

Is the first one Honey?

[Sicily Leader]

Is the first one Honey?

seems like it.

[hoos]

seems like it.

It would be a beehive or Honey comb. It stores the treasure, not is the treasure.
