unreality

its the use of the word "Nobody". It has a slight change in meaning. right?

2 is "10" in binary, correct? well i dont know how that would help. grr.

the problem with statements like these are 'sets'. You're looking at things like mathematics. 1+1 = 2 and 3-1 = 2 so 1+1 = 3-1 and thats correct but some things arent like that because they categorize into one another: a square is ALWAYS a rectangle, but is a rectangle ALWAYS a square? the square is categorized INSIDE the rectangle, not on an equal level. Note how square also categorizes under kite, or quadrilateral, etc some things can be categorized by two different things like Hard Work... it falls under 'Good For You' but it also falls under 'Stealing Refrigerators'. Just because 'Good For You' and 'Stealing Refrigerators' share something does not mean they are equal

i saw this and a couple other problems u posted on 'riddle.com' or something like that

no it travels at the speed of light

OR the light travels THROUGH the darkness because the darkness isn't some sort of matter, its just air particles that arent lit up, so the light enery just goes thru them, losing a little bit of them to the air resistance or whatever. the darkness doesnt move.

Killing yourself with a small index card and a penny is hard work. Hard work is good for you. Killing yourself with a small index card and a penny is good for you. lmao

it doesnt matter if other ones will come true... this one can come true. or cant. or can. or cant. or can. lol

thank you! i can finally feel good about myself! lol

dVs, ur reasoning is better and clearer than comperr's, I think. i didnt even understand the problem until you gave the answer lol. so that means at least 3 of 5 ppl go free, if they're as smart as you. the other 2 have to guess.

hehe "example omitted" those r good. did u make em up?

so did i. Martner Gardner explained the solution to the faulty logic, too. The lawyer reasoned wrong because you can't even be sure if the VERY LAST DAY is the hanging day, even if all days before it have gone by and you havent been hung. It's explained with this: There is a husband and a wife. The wife's birthday is tomorrow. Her husband says: "For your birthday tomorrow I'm going to get you an unexpected gift. You'll have no idea what it is until you open it... It will be that gold necklace we saw in the jewelry store." The wife knows her husband to be truthful, but this confused her. The more she thinks about it, the more confused she is. Her husband made two statements there: the gift will be unexpected, AND the gift will be the golden necklace. Since both couldnt be true her husband isnt being truthful, he has to be lying. So he might get her the golden necklace. Or he might get her that new vacuum cleaner they need. Who knows. She has no idea. The next day she opens her gift and its the golden necklace from the jewelry store. It is both unexpected AND the golden necklace. Her husband was being truthful all along, and he knew it. She didn't until she opened it though. In this way even if the last day possible for the hanging is tomorrow, we cant be sure if it will happen.

thats gotta be it

that was awesome! genius idea, with the lines moving sideways to show only one part at a time.

is that really possible to 'explode' a room by doing that? be truthful... *devilish ideas spin thru head*

bacteria? germs?

i already posted other answers to this in the other topic you started with the same name and the same problem... there's another one for 2 also: 2^2=4

jousting?

was it a remote control plane? or was it being pulled by the car down the runway or something?

the twilight zone? lol

she was a priest or whatever person performs wedding services at a church or wedding

maybe he's smuggling an old building or something? it could be the bags

i like the last one... i think its called "near miss" because it was just barely a miss

0 + 0 = 0 0 * 0 = 0 0 - 0 = 0 2+2 = 4 2*2 = 4 2^2 = 4
