  3. I am attempting to develop a website for a university project where I am supposed to create a quiz that stores the users name and answers then decides if the answers are sufficient for mastery. If the student does well enough then a 'certificate' is printed to the screen for the user to print out their recognition. If they do not then it reports back their answers so that the student knows to go back and study. The problem is, is that we are supposed to build this website in google sites. i have little qualms with google sites for the project is almost complete except for the fact that google sites and javascript do not seem to get a long to well; which i believe is the key to solving the quiz problem i am having. Every time i attempt to enter javascript into the html editor on the site i get an error and find that the google site edited my code pretty incredibly. However, HTML seems to have little issue with editing the site. Is there a way to build my quiz in html to meet my above requirements? if not or if this isn't efficient does any one have any ideas as to how i could make my quiz according to the specs? The quiz needs to be 20 questions. So i am currently, and painstakingly so, making a giant tree like web to cover all the combination outcomes but clearly this is quite extensive and exhaustive. So any help would be appreciated.

  11. I'll allow it. Nuptial Feel free to critique: Reverse a dad joke = pun = nup To marry is a clue to the whole word The last of the first = the last half of initial = -tial. Were I to rewrite, this would certainly be the place to start.

  16. I get 13. Take one coin of each chest. a) You get two Gold, one Silver: Silver is identified, remains to distinguish all_Gold and Gold_Silver. Take 10 more coins from the first G: - if they are all gold, you identified all_Gold, the remaining is Gold_Silver - if you get a silver coin, you identified Gold_Silver, the remaining is all_Gold b) You get one Gold, two Silver: Same proceeding, permute Gold/Silver.

  17. My co-worker gave me a puzzle to solve and I am stumped. Here is what he gave me: .. ... . ..... ... . ... . ... ..... . .. . ..... ... ... (I=J) The only clues were: "It's a cipher. You'll tap into it soon enough" Surely it's something to do with morse code? Can someone please help me to understand?

  18. There are two bowls that you and a challenger must eat from. After flipping a coin you were selected to pick the bowl that each would eat from. In the first bowl there are three out of five poisonous apples. In the second bowl, there are two out of five poisonous apples. Whoever eats from the first bowl must eat two apples at random from the bowl. Whoever eats from the second bowl must eat three random apples from the second bowl. Which bowl should you pick to eat?

  20. A Riddle from a video game, that should have two letters as an answer. I cannot figure it out, and thereby I am stuck in the game The following story should be a journey in the shape of two letters: I started on a continent where the days are as dark as the nights and travelled north until I reached the land of the rising sun, from where I followed a fateful path which led to US involvement in the second world war. I then swiftly changed direction until I reached the coldest palace in Europe. I had a break for several months, but thanks to some guy called Lenin I decided to get out of there. I then traveled to the sea of one thousand and one nights, and upon reaching the waters follow the route of the spice merchant in reverse. When I reached the islands of glass and lace, I then finished my journey at the star of Africa. I already tried some different things, but no luck. If you have an answer that you think is correct, I will try it in the game and if we solved it, I'll answer the question with spoiler tags.

  25. Hi all, I've created a puzzle based game at PuzzlePost.uk that can be sent as a gift in the post - it might be useful for those who haven't been able to see friends and family for a while. It contains a range of puzzles to test various different aspects of your thinking. I hope you like it. Thanks, Will

  26. Hi, this is a riddle I just created. Sorry for my broken English, it's not my native language. There are two version of almost the same idea. The 1st one is purest, but the second one is more tricky. I think it's quite difficult to solve, but there is no need for any mathemical knowledge. First version of the riddle A poker manufacturer has created 10201 cases each containing 100 chips. (Note: 10201=101*101) 10200 of these cases are perfect and each of their chips weighs 10g. One of these cases is defective and its 100 chips weigh 11g each. In order to determine which of the 10201 cases is defective, the manufacturer has two scales at his disposal: A traditional, high-precision scale that can hold tons. An electronic kitchen scale that displays the weight with a precision of 2g and can hold no more than 100g. How can the manufacturer determine the defective case using only 2 times each of the 2 scales? Second version of the riddle A poker manufacturer has created 41010 cases each containing 100 chips. 41009 of these cases are perfect and each of their chips weighs 10g. One of these cases is defective and its 100 chips weigh 11g each. In order to determine which of the 41010 cases is defective, the manufacturer has two scales at his disposal: A traditional, high-precision scale that can hold tons. An electronic kitchen scale that displays the weight with a precision of 1g and can hold no more than 100g. How can the manufacturer determine the defective case using only 2 times each of the 2 scales?

  27. Hi Nemesis. As it has been verified that one of the two dogs is a male, the only probability for the other also being a male is that both are males, as given by the remaining three equally likely possibilities (1,2,3). As both 2 and 3 are invalid, 1 is the only valid result.

  30. Form a "Triangle" With 10 blocks in its top row, 9 blocks in the next row, etc., until the bottom row has one block. Each row is centered below the row above it. Color the blocks in the top row red, white, or green (or any three colors of your choosing) in any way. Use these two rules to color the remaining rows of the triangle: - If two consecutive blocks in a row have the same color, the block between them in the row below has the same color - If two consecutive blocks in a row have different colors, the block between them in the row below has the third color Tell how you can always predict the color of the bottom block after seeing only the top row (and not constructing the intermediate rows) PROVE your answer.

  32. I sort of hesitate to relay a tongue in cheek report I read a while back that photochromic materials are not of recent discovery, but were actually known back in the time of Alexander the Great. A black substance could be ground into powder and dissolved in water. Alexander’s troops would soak strips of cloth torn from their togas in this solution and tie them around their wrists. As the sun rose, traversed the sky and then set, the treated cloth would change color, and by glancing at them his men could tell the approximate time of day. They called it Alexander’s Rag Time Band.

  33. With a tip of the hat to @BMAD for his interesting puzzle. For your amusement, here's an interesting spin on this genre: One night you encounter a two-hour traffic delay due to an accident (the tow truck had difficulty clearing the road.) So, for a time interval 13 of two hours you were constrained to travel at 0 mph. You called home and said, sorry dear, but I'll be two hours late getting home. The next night, for some unimaginable reason, you were also constrained to travel part of the way at 0 mph, this time for a distance of one inch. What do you say now when you call home?

  34. I was cruising the TV and I came across the Beat The Clock TV show from 1950s. There was a challenge That looked like this:Two small ballsEach on its own 18" string suspended from a wooden barThe balls were 18" apart.You had to put 2 smoking pipe in your mouthYou couldn't use your hands after you put the pipes in your mouth.The ball rested on top of the hole, but did not go in.You had to get one ball in each of the smoking pipesHow do you do it?It wasn't solved on the show I watched.Now, if you get the first ball in and then try for the second, the ark of first ball means you couldn't get to the bottom of the second ball to put it in the pipe.------If you know another site that solves these things; post it here.

  39. HTML alone is not enough to create website that evaluates correct quiz answers as far as I know. You would need some scripts for that. Or you could use easy online solutions which help you to create the quiz without coding: http://www.surveymonkey.com/ http://polldaddy.com/
