Unfortunately, Discedo, I seem to have very little to offer regarding pleasant conversation topics, so have another riddle or two, instead~

1 | Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. How is this possible?

2 | Three lawyers rent a hotel room for the night. When they get ( Read more... )

you do not see the mood, in limbo, not trolling for once, proxyless, lack of plot moment, missing tv so damn much, hee hee~, it's finally getting to him

1. There is a grandfather who is a father to the father who is the father to the son. Three people.

3. Three apples.

4. None, because then you would not have an empty basket.

5. Once, because then it is no longer thirty.

6. "e"

8. Age.

9. US? What currency is that?

10. Meat.

Your answers are correct, save for 4. It has the same answer as 5, for similar reasons.

The US probably no longer exists in your world. It is a country like Japan, only on the northern continent of the opposite hemisphere. To quote the explanation I gave to another regarding the question: "a dollar is a paper bill representing 100 cents, and 'change' refers to coins that represent 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents. In other words, what is the highest sum one can make from values of 1, 5, 10, and 25 without the sum of any combination within making an even 100."

It would no longer be an empty basket, correct? It's just wording.

It may never have existed. What continent is it on? And I see... It's simple math. Wouldn't it be three of the 25 amount, 4 of the 10 amount, and 4 of the single amount?

Placing something into an empty basket means it is only empty prior to the placement. Therefore, one.

North America. And yes, that is correct.

North America... That's Britannia in my world.

Oh, fascinating! Was it ever referred to the United States in your timeline?

[locked] locketdangle August 29 2009, 04:07:32 UTC

Not unless you're referring to the United States of Japan, and that was only recently established.

[locked] holyjesusbeams August 29 2009, 04:20:28 UTC

I'm not, no. Well! It seems like your world is even more different from my own than initially thought.

[locked] locketdangle August 29 2009, 04:37:26 UTC

Probably.
