I'm especially interested in the last two. Reason is, I've forgotten what they are. See if you can get them before I remember....

May and Moe want to see the numbers 1-6, using dice. They adopt different plans: May uses six dice; Moe uses only one. They roll their dice at the same time: May rolling her 6 dice, Moe rolling his single die. They repeat this process until one of two things happen: May sees all six numbers on her dice at once. Moe keeps track of his numbers, and finally his sixth number appears. Who gets there first?

Nope.

oi has it. Good job.

Did that make sense at all? Makes sense, but it's a red herring. The words could be listed in any order. These are harder than the first set ...

Yup. Which only proves there is a cliche to back up any position.

We might look for the answer here. But it takes a credit card.

Also it's Big Daddy, not Big Mother Hen.

Grayven can use the square ruler as a straight ruler, since It's calibrated according to the length of its side. But its utility as a square comes into play by setting it in the box corner, and expanding it until it touches the edge of the circle. That ensures you are measuring along the box diagonal.

Professor #1 stated on the first day of class he would cover the course material in one of three ways: It would be in the textbook, It would be in the lecture notes, or It would be in the final exam. Thankfully he winked. Professor #2 sketched this on the blackboard and asked: If the figure on the left is a centimeter, prove the figure on the right is an erg.

I've credited the solvers in the OP. Three to go... 11. MHMLW but TMCSTS 12. TPOPO 13. TAFBEM

I had fun creating my square ruler and you guys had fun figuring out how the heck it worked. Credit to woon to point out that it was the side, not the diagonal, of the ruler that was asked for. nobody, FOTH and PT in that order, eventually got it. Nice work. woon and xucam got close, by methods I may have misunderstood ... apologies if they got it right. But grayven's post gets honorable mention for most complicated approach and the bonanova Humor award.

No bigger than 1ft x 1ft.

Following Alex's advice, I made a single measurement with my square ruler and found the radius was exactly 3 feet! Editing OP to make that clear.

I just bought a circular glass top for my coffee table and I wanted to measure its precise size. I grabbed my measuring tape; but alas, with use all its numbers had rubbed off, and it could not be read. I also have a calibrated square whose side is finely adjustable from arbitrarily small up to 1 foot. With the square, I determined the diameter was greater - by several multiples - than 21/2 feet: the square's largest diagonal length. I thought for a moment then, on a hunch, I speed dialed Morty's and described my problem to Alex. Well, he said, do ya still have the box the thing came in? Yes, I replied, and that would give me its diameter; but if I could measure the box, I could certainly ... Ahem! I heard over the phone, as if I was not supposed to speak while Alex was thinking. What I was going to say was ... Following Alex's advice, I made a single measurement with my square ruler and found the radius was exactly 3 feet! What was the reading on my [square] ruler?

I find these to be fun. This is similar to a previous one, but the chain is now longer. A gold chain of 119 links is to be used as currency. That is, at any given time an arbitrary number of links - from 1 to 119 - must be available to close a transaction. What is the minimum number of links you would need to cut, now, to accomplish this?
