Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 You have 2 bags: a plastic bag, and a paper bag. You have contents in each: The plastic bag has onions in it, and the paper bag has rice in it. Suddenly you realize: The paper bag that you put the rice in defiles any type of rice if it is contained in it for 3 minutes! Realizing you have very little time to solve this, you think very carefully: You dont want the rice to touch the onions You want the rice in the plastic bag, and you want the onions in the paper bag. You cannot tough either food, nor use any tools to touch the food. How do you do it? (Remember, a riddle isn't fun if you cheat! If you know some answer is not correct, and you say it anyway, that isn't very nice. TRY!) (Note - if you dont know and you actually think it is the answer, then go ahead and post it.) HAVE FUN!

0 Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) You can eat the onions in under 3 minutes, pour the rice in the other bag, hit your uvela (roof of mouth "punching bag"), and throw it up in the paper bag. (idea struck me because people throw up in paper bags all the time), And you eat the onion with your mouth not touching it, because touch is really for hands only and feel is for everything in the body. This may not be what you're looking for but it surely fits. is stomach acid a tool? Edited October 2, 2009 by Artem1620 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Do we have any other things that we could use as a container (temporarily of course)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Only works if it is a large plastic bag, but tie off the top of the plastic bag and flip it inside out. Pour the rice into the newly inverted plastic bag and carefully untie the knot on the outside of the plastic bag to release the onions into the paper bag.

0 Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Divide the plastic bag into two compartments with the onions on one side and space for the rice on the other. Use the paper bag to pour the rice into the empty compartment and then grabbing the onions through the plastic move them to the paper bag.

0 Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) If the bags are less than half full then tie (or twist a few times) the onion bag halfway and pour the rice in the top. then rip a hole in (or untwist) the bottom of the onion bag and let them fall into the paper bag. Already answered oops. hey at least i got it though! Edited October 2, 2009 by Chewbacca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
You have 2 bags: a plastic bag, and a paper bag.
You have contents in each: The plastic bag has onions in it, and the paper bag has rice in it.
Suddenly you realize:
The paper bag that you put the rice in defiles any type of rice if it is contained in it for 3 minutes!
Realizing you have very little time to solve this, you think very carefully:
You dont want the rice to touch the onions
You want the rice in the plastic bag, and you want the onions in the paper bag.
You cannot tough either food, nor use any tools to touch the food.
How do you do it?
(Remember, a riddle isn't fun if you cheat! If you know some answer is not correct, and you say it anyway, that isn't very nice. TRY!)
(Note - if you dont know and you actually think it is the answer, then go ahead and post it.)
HAVE FUN!
