  2. Prof. Sushi Rama gives out only one A+ each year in her course on Logic. This year, you and two other students got 100 on all the exams, and you REALLY want that A+. The professor says that she will give the 3 of you a test to determine the winner. There are 3 chairs in her office. After lunch each of you will sit in one of the chairs, and then she will paste two stamps on your forehead. She shows you the 4 white and 4 black stamps that she has. You will be able to see the stamps on the other two students' foreheads, but not your own, or the two leftover stamps. Then she will ask the student in the first chair to tell what color stamps are on his or her forehead. If the student cannot logically deduce the colors, she will move on to the second chair, then the third chair. If that does not decide the issue, she will continue around the circle of chairs until one of you gives the correct response, with correct reasoning, based on the stamps that are visible and the other students' answers. After lunch you are the first to arrive at the professor's office. Which chair do you choose and why?

  3. Hi. to those of you that don't know me, I am Flamebirde. I mostly hang out in the Games forum that captured my attention a year (wow! it's already been a year?) or so back. Or maybe a couple years back, because it took me a while to get my nerve up to join. but that was probably one of the best choices in my life. and yeah, that's about it. Don't forget to try mafia in the games section, all you who've not tried it yet.

  7. In accordance with the first rule of this puzzle, I am ready now to declare that this post is NOT an attempt to solve it. Although it may LOOK like a guess, it is not. If it were, it might be worth someone's time and effort to be reading it. But it's not, and there really is no justification for the 8 or 9 seconds anyone has invested, and possibly 4 or 5 additional seconds a misguided soul might further invest. But because any self-respecting post really ought to have embedded within it a spoiler to hide something, even the true non-attempt to solve this puzzle that this post is ... Well then ... here's mine: I expect full and appropriate credit for the crackling insight evident therein.

  9. What most people don't realize is the Mayan calendar is ... cyclical! When you get to the end, you go back to the beginning. So when the Mayan long-count & galactic day calendars coincide to "end" on Dec 21 2012, it's like New Year's Eve for the next 5126 years. (So we should throw one heck of a party, yes? ) Thalia, just to clarify: The Mayan calendar didn't have to take into account leap years. It's actually more specific than the Gregorian calendar (that most of the world uses) which has to have leap years. So saying the Mayan calendar was "wrong" because it didn't have leap years is incorrect. It was the people doing the math to calculate the end of the long-count cycle who didn't take into account leap years & the adjustments made to our calendar cycle over time. Of course, there's also the thought that the original start date of the cycle could have been mis-interpreted, and we may have already passed the into the new cycle ... as much as a decade or possibly even a century ago. Or that it's actually next year or two years away from now. *shrug* At any rate, I'm sure enough that the world isn't ending just because I have to buy a new calendar. I do that every year anyway. (Now, world ending because some idiot decides it'd be a grand idea to declare nuclear war - I can see that happening anytime.)
