Jalli · Post by **Jalli** » 1 Feb 2003, 15:31

\DC made no. 1, ribot made no. 2 and 5. ChuckleS made no. 3. I also noticed that there were many correct answers to no. 4 so these ones get points: ChuckleS, ribot, djacosmo.

Standings:

14p: ribot
13p: ChuckleS
12p: Zworqy
8p: djacosmo
4p: SveinR, Ky.Jelly
2p: MagnusB

Question 1: The one who has it is poor. The one who don't have it is rich. The one who knows it is stupid, the one who does it is lazy. The one who hears it is deaf, the one who sees it is blind. What is it?

Question 2: When can you add two till eleven and get 1 as answer?

Question 3: You stand in a concrete room. In the middle of the room there is a 25 cm long steelpipe. 15 cms of this pipe is above the floor, the rest is under. It is stuck in the floor. A pingpong-ball is dropped down into the pipe. There is only one mm clearnce between the ball and the pipe. Your task is to get the ball unharmed out of the pipe. The only things that are in the room are a pencil, ducktape, a pocket mirror, a grandfathers clock and a small magnet. How will you get the pingpong-ball out of the pipe?

Question 4: There is something that men always carry, but normally it grows on trees. What is it?

Question 5: Which prime numbers can 8888881 be factorized into?

I would like to know if anyone is willing to do next round. In that case please post in topic or PM me

Post by **SveinR** » 1 Feb 2003, 16:56

1. Nothing

chux · Post by **chux** » 1 Feb 2003, 16:58

Question 1: Nothing (damn! I said this before SveinR posted it!)
Question 2: 2 till 11 is 10:58, so you need to add 2:02 to get 1:00
Question 3: I'd bend the tape around into a U shape, put the magnet in the middle for weight, and drop it in...
Question 4: Wood

Question 5: 59 x 150659

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 1 Feb 2003, 17:15

2: 11:00 + 2 h = 1:00

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 1 Feb 2003, 17:25

3: take a piece of tape, tape it on the floor to make it non sticky. then spin the tape around so it becomes like a thread. then tape the "thread" onto the pencil. then tape the magnet on the other end of the pencil. fold another piece of tape in order to make it sticky on both sides, one for the magnet the other for the ball. then u can put the construction with magnet first in the hole, and the "thread" in your hand and let the ball stick to the tape.

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 1 Feb 2003, 20:03

4. rubber

djacosmo · Post by **djacosmo** » 1 Feb 2003, 21:23

Q3: Place tape onto the pencil so that it can be lowered into the pipe, such that eyes can be drawn onto the ping-pong ball. Place the mirror over the pipe end such that the angle projects the image of the grandfather-clock down to the ball. Use the magnet to get the clocks pendulum swinging, and use this to hypnotise the ball. Once it is under your control, force it to come out of the pipe. After it is safely out, place tape over the pipes end. (May not be likely, but at least all items in the room were used.)

Q4: Nuts.
Q2: If you're really crap at maths
Q1: Yo Mama

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » 1 Feb 2003, 22:53

Nuts sounds like a perfect answer for Q4... but actually, nuts don't grow on trees... (Wood either)

If it meant to be the answer so this is a mistake!

BTW Jalli, questions where you need to factorize a number are easy for programers... I can make s program for that in a minute or two(not kidding)

Jalli · Post by **Jalli** » 1 Feb 2003, 22:59

Nuts is not the correct answer. Also if anyone has bothered into making a program they deserve the points

But, ok, no more factorizing questions.

I'm also waiting for anyone who wants to takeover quiz for a round or two.

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 1 Feb 2003, 23:47

Q3: Take a pointer from the clock. Stick it to a piece of tape, then poke it down the pipe with the pen and make it stick to the ball. Then take a longer piece of tape and fasten the magnet on it. Sink this into the pipe and the magnet will stick to the pointer, and you can pull the ball out!

Q4: Apple (The Adam's apple on the throat)

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 2 Feb 2003, 06:52

Question 3: You stand in a concrete room. In the middle of the room there is a 25 cm long steelpipe. 15 cms of this pipe is above the floor, the rest is under. It is stuck in the floor. A pingpong-ball is dropped down into the pipe. There is only one mm clearnce between the ball and the pipe. Your task is to get the ball unharmed out of the pipe. The only things that are in the room are a pencil, ducktape, a pocket mirror, a grandfathers clock and a small magnet. How will you get the pingpong-ball out of the pipe?

Forget about all that crap, it's not a requirement to use all that so... just blow the ball out (The pipe is same size of the ball and ping pong balls are really light so i think it's possible... is it?

)

Question 4: There is something that men always carry, but normally it grows on trees. What is it?

i like the apple answer

Question 5: Which prime numbers can 8888881 be factorized into?

it's too late for math

20,000 (Twenty Thousand)
Too easy Ky

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 3 Feb 2003, 23:58

yea i kno but there was nothing else to do,
chuckles gets 0 points caus it was way to easy,

ok now i got a good one,

if it is zero degrees celsius today and its going to be twice as cold tommorrow, how cold is it going to be tommorrow

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 4 Feb 2003, 00:04

that a question for u nordic ppl

we're in the middle of the earth so its freaking hot everyday

. . . . . . . . dunno

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 4 Feb 2003, 00:52

to measure coldness u would have to measure what temperature u think is cold, or define one, and then get the answer from there. but science hasnt done this, and i suppose it's not really a philosophic question, so u cant really say how something is twice as cold. or am i wrong.

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 4 Feb 2003, 01:37

you are rite and wrong,
it is possible to measure it, but u may just have to think about it,
i wont tell you how you are rite and wrong or i will give away the answer,
but it is definatly possible to work out

ced · Post by **ced** » 4 Feb 2003, 02:45

0Â° Celsius = 273Â° Kelvin

so twice as cold would be

273Â° K divided by 2 -> 136.5Â° K

and 136.5Â° K = -136.5Â° C

solution: -136.5Â° C tomorrow!

Ky.Jelly · Post by **Ky.Jelly** » 4 Feb 2003, 04:03

close but not quite

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 4 Feb 2003, 04:05

0Â°C = 32 Â°F

TOMORROW IS GONNA BE 16 Â°F

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 4 Feb 2003, 04:11

ok i dunno why but... zero

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 4 Feb 2003, 08:34

There's no such thing as coldness, only warmth.

The absolut zero is -273.15 C or 0 K. Anything with higher temperature than that has some warmth, even if it's just a little. So instead of saying "twice as cold" you should say "half as warm", which should be

-273.15 / 2 = -136.575 C.

But that temperature if of course impossible on earth. The record is -89 C,
on the south pole, of course.

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 4 Feb 2003, 13:38

i wouldnt say -100 centigrades is warm. but sure, temperature is measuring how fast the particles are moving, the faster they move the warmer, and the warmer it is the faster times goes. (that's why u can freeze things to make them last longer).

btw i have an answer: 0 degrees C = -37 degrees coldness. because the human body is 37 degrees. so twice as cold is -74 degrees coldness, which is -37 degrees C. ye well it's philosophic point of view zworqy..

chux · Post by **chux** » 4 Feb 2003, 18:26

Hmm, temperature is more confusing than i thought...
Anyway, half of 0 is 0, so maybe the temperature tomorrow should be 0 as well...whatever...
