Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) The only thing I don't like about this is the 7, since I haven't had past success with that number. The answer to this is very funny. It's even funnier if you know where I got it from. You have no control over me. I am a prefix to the cons of the sum of a series. I am almost a tent.

0 Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Well i think my girlfriend lol There are seven of me. week? Nope. I've done this one a bit weird. I probably could have worded it better and I just realised I made a mistake.... NOTE:There should be a : after to and a , after series. I guess I was a bit clumsy when I typed this. So it should look like.... You have no control over me. I am a prefix to: the cons of the sum of a series, I am almost a tent. There are seven of me. Some guidance: everything, except the first line, in each part of this riddle gives you a hint to the letters/parts of a word to get the answer. That doesn't mean discard the first line. I'll say there are 5 parts, cause I don't think it's stated clear enough in the riddle. The fifth emphasises parts 2, 3 and 4. I think that's all I have to say for now.

0 Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I could be on the completely wrong track, but let's see. The prefix to a colon is the letter 'C'. The cons of the sum of a series is the constant of Integration (the sum of an infinite series)... and sure enough C is the constant of integration. I haven't figured out the tent part, but the are seven C's or 7 seas... And noone can control the sea. I think the answer is the sea. Now, explain the tent section if that is right please. =D Also, if that worked... I am surely Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't thinking sum to infinity, so it's not C. Think of the simplest sum of a series. Sum to 'n' might be more clear?

0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) You have no control over me. -you've already said it; this is the hint. I am a prefix to: the cons of the sum of a series, - the sum of the series is limit or finite? but it said that CONS of it. it must be its opposite. so it's either UNlimited/INfinite? I am almost a tent. - I don't know how to squeeze the answer out to this one. There are seven of me. - there are lots of things that numbered to seven.. it may be week (like what ive said), or dwarfs, continents....? wait a minute... is it continents?!

Gee, you seemed to be hard at work there. I must say you almost have the whole word. The last line sums up from the the cons to the sum of a series to a tent. I think the hardest part is the control and prefix.....and you got the wrong idea with cons and the series. However, you did get the prefix part but I don't know if you meant it. But good work in getting most of the word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the idea from Monty Python. When I worked out what it meant, I couldn't stop laughing. Can you make out how I came up with the 2 middle lines?

0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 oh yeah and it's pretty much easier than your 8th riddle. I dont know who monty python is ( ive made a quick search), and you almost look like one... I mean getting those ideas. youre funny. i should have known this: You have no control over me im a med stude! Pity me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 This is classic. I don't know how you could never have seen this, and yea, I think I need to make my riddles a lot harder.

0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 OMG! O.o At that moment watchin that clip, I experienced bein one of those guards; And if laughing is an offense, I could have been killed. I am a prefix to: the cons of the sum of a series, --It's obviously IN is the word you referred to the prefix.. did you meant to include blantanly the words "the CONS" into your riddle? I really cant explain how you came up to include it. But the sum of a series is finite. I am almost a tent. ---inconTINence or inCONTINENT.. TIN/TINENT is almost TENT?

0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) You have no control over me. You already got that. It's referring to the : below. I am a prefix to: the cons of the sum of a series, You got the prefix, IN. I was thinking INto. I meant to blatantly include cons. I was thinking sum of a series as in the formula(what I learned in maths) Sn=a + (n-1)d. The thing I was hoping to get there was the Sn. Sn is tin on the periodic table. I am almost a tent.I literally meant almost a tent There are seven of me.And this pretty much gave it away Then you add it all together to get in con tin ent (I wasn't thinking incontinence, but that wouldn't have made it any easier). The last line, as you can see, spells continent Edited October 30, 2008 by runder_1111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 So the SUM OF A SERIES you're preferring to the formula itself. I didnt think of that. Nice line. it's kind of confusing, though. next riddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I got a whole heap of ideas. I just don't find any of them really interesting. I'll post another riddle that I heard now. It's a maths one but its gotta be one of my favourite ones. I just hope it hasn't been posted before. I couldn't find it so we'll see.
