    If they are pictures (such as JPEG, GIF, etc.) you can upload them to ImageShack, and then after uploading them, using the "direct link" URL, you can then insert them into posts via the "Insert Image" tool, when writing your posts/threads. Hope that helps, random7

    lol, that's funny

    Ooooooooh, I see what you mean. Edit: I already said that earlier. So disregard this post.

    Ok, last try before admitting defeat, as I mustn't know the answer (which I thought I did).

    Damn it, beaten to it. The answer is:

    You can if you want... But keep in mind that you have to draw solid lines on the paper (ie. not broken) ... (I'd be quite impressed if you found a solution this way though, so do try it)

    Ok... This thread isn't doing so well, so I'll post a hint... I'll probably be posting clues regularly, since I don't think this thread is going to improve in posts...

    This is a twist on this puzzle "Somebody please help" posted by magicmike (also, this thread has a nice little pictured solution that compliments that puzzle: "Don't Cross The Lines") Firstly, on a piece of paper, draw the three houses and utilities as boxes (or what ever shape you want) such that they are positioned as follows: Now, connect each house (by drawing solid lines) to all three utilities, without crossing lines, and without going through houses/utilities (unlike in the previous puzzle). In this puzzle the houses/utilities are considered as nodes. As usual, I will let you guys ponder for a day or two, before posting the answer in a spoiler. Please use spoilers, and yes, it is solvable. Enjoy

    It's just like any other puzzle (creating Math Limericks)... I was going to set the challenge in this thread... But I think some of you are tired of this thread... For example in this case, the composer started with "dt", "three"... "Cosine" and "nine"... And went from there... The reason for using "e" as the final line, is that the log of e to the power of anything, is that power... So it gives the composer the freedom to make the left hand exp​ression what ever he wanted... And he just has to raise the e to the answer to the left hand side... And to make it a nice equation... He used 3pi/9 in the cosine to evaluate to one half, if it were a sine in the Limerick, he would have used "three halves of pi on nine"... But it is seen that using cosine is neater and shorter (ie. fits the Limerick structure better)... What I'm getting at is, the composer used logic and math to create it... And I believe you all have it in you to create your own... Here is one more for the road: A dozen, a gross, and a score Plus three times the square root of four Divided by seven Plus five times eleven Is nine squared and not a bit more

    Ok... I think you've had enough... Here's the answer:

    Very good!! Steeleman23 knows the answer... The above hint will be sufficient enough to help most people... I'm proud you guys are getting it so quick I will post the "exact" answer (and explanation) in a spoiler tomorrow (it's 12pm here)...
  13. The simplest paradox is this: "I'm lying!" But any single declaration paradox would suffice. You can't have something that takes two or more declarations to arrive at the paradox, for the attacker will kill you for the first declaration. Silence would "technically" just delay the inevitable, and running or fighting would possibly end in death (he didn't say anything about NOT killing you if you did anything else!) But if you don't like the "I'm lying" statement, then the one used in this post ("You will kill me with the knife!") is very appropriate, since it is something the attacker can easily relate to...

    This is actually something from Wikipedia, so it's not my own: What is special about this mathematical expression? I'll give it a few day's before posting a spoiler (or the straight answer). Hope you all have fun with this one...

    Chuck Norris Jokes

    And to turn this joke into a brainteaser: How did I get Google to say that? (NB. this picture isn't doctored, it is a print-screen/screen-dump) Does anyone think this is worth posting as a brainteaser in new puzzles? (I'm sure a lot of people would detest this notion)
  16. I believe that OP and savagegamer90 have it wrong. It should be: Jim, where Tim had had “had had”, had had “had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher. A relatively equivalent statement: Jim, where Tim had put “had had”, had put “had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher. Or: Jim, where Tim had had “had”, had had “had had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher. A relatively equivalent statement: Jim, where Tim had put “had”, had put “had had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher. Hopefully this thread isn't too old, and hence no-one will read this... I'm new to this forum...
