      Congrats Romeo... consider yourself in the brightest 2% of the planet.

      Here's the next one... (Im still figuring out the answer myself).

      There is a common English word that is nine letters long.
      Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter.
      What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

      *The letters do not have to be removed sequentially

      By the way... Im not giving away shit if you figure it out. Talk to HOAX about that one.

        Nine letter word:

        BruceM answered that one on the first page



        And the Hotel room answer was there is no extra dollar:

        Take the $27 and minus the $2 the clerk kept and you get the new price of $25!

        Next riddle..... Well HOAX give away enough content to win a dvd player

          8 x 2 (feet per man) = 16
          Total occupants = 22
          Total Feet = 56+16 = 72
          Yeah, but how did you find it?

          m + h = 22
          2*m + 4*h=72

          ---

          2*m + 2* h = 44

          ---

          2*m + 4*h - 2*m - 2*h = 72 - 44 = 28
          2*h = 28
          h=14

                Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday or any dates?

                A barbecue grill holds two steaks at a time. It takes five minutes to grill one side of a steak. What is the shortest amount of time it will take to grill three steaks on both sides?

                        i got a locked box solution now.

                        the person gets the box then puts own lock on and sends back

                        then first person takes of his lock and sends back again.

                                  I guess I could post one:

                                  A man left home one night. He turned to the right and started running. He ran straight ahead. Then he turned to the left. After a while he truned to the left again. He was running faster than ever. Then he turned to the left once more and headed for home. But in the distance he saw two masked men waiting for him. Who were they?

                                    The answer to the riddle about locks is wrong...

                                    ...If he send the box to his friend and the friend returns the box locked (with his lock)how does the person sending the package open the box to put the parcel in that is being sent?

                                    You need to have a lock with two keys or some shit like that...I am probably wrong here so going to get some smokes while you all call me a thick Scottish fuck.....

                                      Krome -

                                      the first person puts the thing in the box and puts lock 1 on.

                                      person 2 gets the box, puts on lock 2 and sends back to person 1

                                      person 1 gets the box again and removes lock 1 then sends back again.

                                      person 2 gets box for the second time but it now only has lock 2 on it which he put on himself. He then can open the box.

                                          Yes, it's yesterday,today and tomorrow and 15 minutes.


                                          A bottle and a cork together cost $1.50. The bottle costs $1.00 more than the cork. How much does each cost?


                                          Bill bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?
                                          Does anyone look down here?

                                                right, ok lets try something a little harder:

                                                find the error:

                                                -2 = -2
                                                4 - 6 = 1 - 3
                                                4 - 6 + 9/4 = 1 - 3 + 9/4
                                                (2 - 3/2)^2 = (1 - 3/2)^2
                                                2 - 3/2 = 1 - 3/2
                                                2 = 1
                                                Does anyone look down here?

                                                  I dont get it.

                                                  i suck at math

                                                  I did find it though:

                                                  'Taking square roots requires the use of the double plus-or-minus sign (or absolute values). In this case, the plus sign gives an extraneous result, and the minus sign is the one that gives the right conclusion. '

                                                      A man left home one night. He turned to the right and started running. He ran straight ahead. Then he turned to the left. After a while he truned to the left again. He was running faster than ever. Then he turned to the left once more and headed for home. But in the distance he saw two masked men waiting for him. Who were they?

                                                      This one's got me stumped...

                                                          You're sitting at a bar, the local explosively-dank-hole within some small crack of reality . . . you have an award that says, most likely to be the character in a riddle . . . looking around your attention finds a small chair with a mobile entity covering it with it's lesser half . . . It speaks, you hear "Glass of water please . . . " You see the bartender examine the seated man for a moment. He then reaches under the counter and pulls out a shotgun point-blank in the man's face. The seated man speaks again "Thank You" he says, and walks out of the bar . . . why did the man get what he needed?

                                                                        #185
                                                                        OK, 3 guys are on holiday in England. Every evening they go to the same restaurant. On their last evening they booze it up a bit, and when the waiter brings the bill it's £30.
                                                                        They consider this a bit steep. Each gives £10 to the waiter, but ask him to ask the manager for a reduction, as they'd been such good customers.
                                                                        The waiter returns with £5 in £1 notes. They are so extatic about getting some money back, that they each take only £1, and give the other £2 to the waiter.

                                                                        So let's tally up:

                                                                        Each pays £10
                                                                        Each gets back £1
                                                                        So each has paid £9

                                                                        3 X £9 is £27
                                                                        Add the £2 they gave to the waiter:

                                                                        £29

                                                                        Where's the other pound?

                                                                                  find the error:

                                                                                  -2 = -2
                                                                                  4 - 6 = 1 - 3
                                                                                  4 - 6 + 9/4 = 1 - 3 + 9/4
                                                                                  (2 - 3/2)^2 = (1 - 3/2)^2
                                                                                  2 - 3/2 = 1 - 3/2
                                                                                  2 = 1
                                                                                  hmmm let me try...
                                                                                  cant really find THE error but it must be this line

                                                                                  2 - 3/2 = 1 - 3/2

                                                                                  this is what I got:


                                                                                  -2 = -2

                                                                                  4-6+9/4 = 1-3+9/4
                                                                                  (2-3/2)^2 = (1-3/2)^2

                                                                                  4 - 4*3/2+3/2^2 = 1 - 2*3/2 + 3/2^2
                                                                                  4 - 6 + 2,25 = 1 - 3 + 2,25
                                                                                  0,25 = 0,25

                                                                                      They consider this a bit steep. Each gives £10 to the waiter, but ask him to ask the manager for a reduction, as they'd been such good customers.
                                                                                      The waiter returns with £5 in £1 notes. They are so extatic about getting some money back, that they each take only £1, and give the other £2 to the waiter.

                                                                                      So let's tally up:

                                                                                      Each pays £10
                                                                                      Each gets back £1
                                                                                      So each has paid £9

                                                                                      3 X £9 is £27
                                                                                      Add the £2 they gave to the waiter:

                                                                                      £29

                                                                                      Where's the other pound?
                                                                                      VAT

                                                                                      Seriously, this is just in the way the question is worded really:

                                                                                      The guys orginally paid 30 quid

                                                                                      The owner keeps 25 and gives the waiter 5

                                                                                      The guys take a pound each and the waiter takes two

                                                                                      = 30
