I'll get there 'As fast as' my computer can go. So expect me to be there late.

I'm not certain it'll work, but my future roommate posted this to my wall on FB....

Bake me a cake as fast as you can. Me hungry.

as fast as lightning, a ghost flashed past me. OOOOOOHHHHHH, who dares awaken the mighty ghost of Mafias past? It said in a typical mafioso voice.

That, my friends, is a lynch mob.

When I check BrainDen, I jump for joy because IT'S FINALLY BACK UP AND I NOW HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!

Hi there, this is rookie1ja, admin of BrainDen Brain Teasers Forums. Note that the forums were not available since January 2012 up till now (April 27) due to severe physical disk damage. Since then I was trying to retrieve as much info as possible. Hosting provider, external data recovery firm and forum helpdesk were all trying to help, however, the process was long and only small steps were being made. After months of chasing, refusing insufficient data, insisting on giving it second/third and many other tries we have started to get more and more. To cut the long story short, external data recovery firm (and hosting provider) got more data out of the disk after I did not accept what they delivered the first time and forum helpdesk were real magicians to get that minimum to work somehow. Good News: The forum is more or less working. Bad News: Not all could have been rescued. You may notice several issues: 1. all forum titles are lost (fortunately posts in them should be OK) 2. all threads are in single forum section "New Logic/Math Puzzles" 3. all members who have not posted might be lost 4. all other members are probably existing but their email is lost and there might be issues with log in Old members that would like to continue with their old username, pls send me (admin@brainden.com) the following data and I will manually restore your old account. 1. username 2. password 3. email What to do next? 1. There are many more issues and you can report them along with your comments/suggestions in this thread. 2. If you could notify other former members, we could slowly start to rebuild the community. Thanks a lot for your patience and I hope we can make the site work again. -rookie1ja

Thanks to all and especially to plainglazed who moved and titled hundreds of threads. Anybody can report to him (or me) any significant threads which should be moved to other forum section and need title due to high probability of further use in the future.

Agreed. One up this if you are a veteran of the great Brainden Blackout!

Keep asking weird/stupid questions. (Why are your eyes brown? Why is a banana yellow? What color is an orange? How does my shoe smell *hold shoe to their nose* ? What's the difference between god and the devil? Why are you putting rope around your neck?)

If you have a computer in your room, leave a web browser open to a Google search of "practical jokes" with a bunch of the links clicked. Seriously, some of them are so bad that even just talking about them would be enough to disturb a roommate. The one that comes to mind is putting clear saran wrap over the toilet (covering the bowl, but underneath the seat part that flips down). I promise I have never tried that one out.

He's like a cape... ...always following me around.

Answer is 12 minutes Step 1 : Let the 10 mins guy start crossing... Step 2 : After 5 minutes, let the 5 minute guy start..they reach the end at the same time Step3 : Let the 2 minutes guy start Step 4 : After a minute, let the one minute guy start...they reach at the same time..so in total 12 minutes Glenn

You can correctly time 9 minutes by repeatedly flipping over the two glasses in this order: each 1 stands for a minute and ** stands for flip 1 1 1 1*1 1 1 1*1 1 1 1*1 1 1 1*1 1 1 1 *********1 1 1 1 1 1 1*1 1 1 1 1 1 1 once the one seven minute glass is done, there is only one minute left in the four minute glass. two more flips of the four minute glass will get you nine minutes. To make it easier, start the four minute glass and when it's half full flip the seven minute glass.

I will replace Flamebirde, if that is okay?
