What is the next ODD number in this sequence? 9, 3, 2, 7, 6, 1, 4, 4, 2, 6, ... Yeah, I'm back.

Suppose the electrical wiring overheats and gives off smoke? Don't assume the OP is incorrect - find a solution that fits the question. That's a word to the wise for riddleteaser, too.... <_<

Hats on a death row!! One of my favorites puzzles!
bonanova replied to roolstar's question in New Logic/Math Puzzles
In the spirit of the OP, though, using 20 colors would only mean each hat could be any of the 20 colors. Whether there are "two colors" or "twenty colors", all the hats could be black, for example. That is, not all the colors need be used. Check here for a multi-color method that makes no assumptions about using all the colors. -
Nice job.

Who said anything about coins? Do you want to re-word the OP? "What non-forged coin currently on display in some museum displays the earliest palindromic date?"

Hi Asdfgh Zxcvbn, and welcome to the group. Here are a couple of tips that might be helpful. The OP does not say a girl came first. Before you call Instead of calling people names, suggest to yourself that you might not have understood the question. And if you want to keep your membership at BrainDen, you might want to consider showing respect - even in those cases where you might turn out to be right. <_<

Yes, three colors can be done. Good question ... what do you think? -

Don't know what you mean by offset, but the hole is drilled though the center of the sphere. Does that help?

5 posts or 500 posts, you're both ignoring the guidelines and the kind advice of your fellow members. Don't ignore mine. <_<

Well now it's Monday night and I'm still getting precious little social action. So I make another list of a dozen words - well almost a dozen - described as follows: alternate fuel bogus chilling sight can't tell where can't tell who quite enough not a stiff splish splash sporting event tune makers zoo things Again I let my pencil wander down through the list, twice, thus dividing each word into three pieces of lengths 1, 2, 3 and 4. For good measure, I divide one of the pieces again. Now one of the words has four pieces!

Three nevers: Never eat at a place called Mom's Never play cards with a guy named Doc Never bet against a guy with two potatoes. Yeah, you all basically have it http://brainden.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png' alt=';)'> KoP may have been the first.

Surface. No cuts. Yes, he picks which one to draw the first curve. All good questions...
-
Nope.
-
This guy walks up to you and says, give me any two potatoes, and I bet you that I can draw a closed curve on one of them, a curve that divides the potato in half, and then draw exactly the same curve on the other one. Do you take the bet? By "same curve" he means it has exactly the same three-dimensional size and shape.

Really ... ? How will the first to speak know his color? -
Results so far: Triangle - Yes=2; No=0. - good reasons given by several. Square - Yes=2; No=0. - pretty self evident Pentagon - Yes=2; No=0. - imran says possible, but not regular; woon gives a method. Hexagon - Yes=2; No=0. - with a nice description of how by woon Seven+ - Yes=0; No=3. - proof given by Jaod997. Does everyone agree with the consensus? Anyone care to venture other reasons for [or against] the pentagon? Try to do this using logic and symmetry, and not with sketches.
-
Yup! Good catch.
-
You slice a cube with a plane and examine the new surface you've made. Is it possible for this surface to be an equilateral triangle? a square? a regular pentagon? a regular hexagon? a regular polygon with more than 6 sides? Give intuitive reasons.

Hi arakis, welcome to Brainden. You have it. Nice job.

You find an old bottle, like the one shown, partially filled with liquid. The bottom part is a circular cylinder, and the neck is tapered. The bottle is corked, so you can't alter its contents. Can you, using only a ruler, determine its volume?
-
Clarify that * and / are performed first; then + and - so it would be [b*Y] + [K/H] - [R*J] + Q*G*G = 3051.4 -- correct?
