No... here's the solution. Spoiler: The Answer! Okay, now here's on I found online... "You are the ruler of a medieval empire and you are about to have a celebration tomorrow. The celebration is the most important party you have ever hosted. You've got 1000 bottles of wine you were planning to open for the celebration, but you find out that one of them is poisoned. The poison exhibits no symptoms until death. Death occurs within ten to twenty hours after consuming even the minutest amount of poison. You have over a thousand slaves at your disposal and just under 24 hours to determine which single bottle is poisoned. You have a handful of prisoners about to be executed, and it would mar your celebration to have anyone else killed. What is the smallest number of prisoners you must have to drink from the bottles to be absolutely sure to find the poisoned bottle within 24 hours?" This one's actually quite easy; if you think about it carefully. |

Ahhh, Toungetwisters. I invented a tounbgetwister that I am very proud of, mainly because Not even I can say it properly yet. Bob bugs big bugs, big bugs bug bob. ( Keep saying that really fast without a break inbetween. It's funny what the result is! ) |

Steven amd Carol are walking to the store. They hear people screaming, and see people running away. They get nervous, but keep going. When they get to the store, there's a murderer there. He pushes Steven and Carol to the ground next to the other 15 hostages. The murderer is going to kill Steven and Carol first. But he is a fair murderer, and tells the two that they have 5 minutes to escape. If the doors are locked, and Steve and Carol only have a glass fragment and a screwdriver, how can they escape. Here's the map: Doors=e Murderer=• Spoiler: My messed up map |

Post subject: | Re: Riddles, puzzles and other general tricks |
Obvious answer: Pretend to be fiddling with the locked door near the murderer to aid escape then BOOM! IN THE NECK WITH THE SCREWDRIVER/GLASS SHARD! Heroic praises for them both Other answer: Glass shard from a window? Use the screwdriver to poke out extra pieces of glass and escape cut free. |
