Actually if you want to get really technical about the English here, can November actually have days?
-
That's just semantics and still follows my logic. If I ask how many days does November have? And you say 28 or 3, then those are not correct answers.

But he says 'with each move you advance half the distance to the door' not half of 8 ft. or half of your starting position.
-
I get the answer of 'all of them' but is it really correct? If I ask how many eggs are in a dozen, and you say 8 or 9 or 1 then none of those answers are correct. If I ask how many days are there in November and you say 28, then that is not correct.

Why can't you say to travel 10 miles you first need to travel 7? 1? or 10?
-
I'd be Solid Snake though, not Tom Cruise...
-
You get anywhere by not following the logic of only moving a half the distance at a time. If your house is 10 miles away, then travel 10 miles.

Nice

The statement that follows the question...

This one should really test your knowledge of mythology: Nestor, Perseus, Hector, Aeneas, Achilles, Odysseus Which names doesn't belong and why?

ash013: Here's some more clarification on the naming of Earth: "The name Earth originated from the 8th century Anglo-Saxon word erda, which means ground or soil. In Old English the word became eorthe, then erthe in Middle English.[106] Earth was first used as the name of the planet around 1400.[107] It is the only planet whose name in English is not derived from greco-roman mythology." http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_named_earth The Earth was named way before we realized it was one of the planets. Therefore, there was no attempt to name it in a similar fashion to the other planets.

Here's your answer for Hades: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades As for Gaia, perhaps I misspoke or wasn't clear enough. Earth is not directly named after a God. Earth is a modern word derived from many sources. I accounted for this in a hint I posted to clarify this exact question. If you call the Earth Terra, then you are 1 in a million.

old paradox. makes computers explode.

Well putting aside the oddity of a train track on a remote island. I'd have to say that the bi-monthly train passed by and had an open car full of large metal pipes. Some of the pipes got dislodged, but didn't fall from the train. They just poked out just enough to smash through the only nearby house. Juliet was sipping a glass of water and Romeo was reading a book on the bed nearby when the pipes came crashing through the wall and killed them both. Incidentally, in the neighboring room, their fish were knocked over by the crash and died on the floor

I get the point of the riddle, but looking at it a bit differently, it will take until you arrive at arm's length to reach the door.

Another answer:

I think you're giving cops too much credit. Do you really think they can follow a carrier pigeon?

How is it referred to by a name of death?

Nice job everyone I'll throw in a few comments to clarify some things. 1) There is a meaning to the order I picked. They are in Generational order: Uranus Cronus Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Aphrodite Ares, Hermes I chose this order to help (with Uranus) and to confuse (for the last 2) 2) They don't have to represent the Greek versions of the planets. They are actually intended to be the Greek names for the planets. Not only is Pluto Greek, but so is Uranus which doesn't have much of alternative name except for Oraunos (spelled many different ways apparently) 3) I used the original solar system because the current 1 gets too complicated with all the dwarf planets which Pluto is now a part, and what is and what shouldn't be classified as this or that... 4) Also, a case could be made to include Gaia, so I added a hint that said she didn't meet 1 of the criteria. Her Roman counterpart is Terra. There is no Greek God that actually is corresponds to the name Earth
