A riddle for Seer Fox
« on: August 14, 2007, 08:49:06 AM »
The answer is obvious, trust me.

I lay three spoons and a babushka doll resembling George Bush (senior) on a table. One spoon is to the left of the doll, two to the right. In the leftmost spoon I place an egg. Opening the babushka, I lay the next smallest doll between the two spoons on the right of the largest doll. I lay the next smallest after that to the right of the rightmost spoon. I then lay out the remaining sections in the same pattern, leaving enough space between each of them to fit a spoon (even though there are only three spoons). When I come to the last, smallest doll, I put it on top of the egg.
How many spoons have I room for?

Ciat,
Seer Fox
Well I'm not going to quote anything, so...I'll have to hunt down my old sig again.

How bothersome.

Even though I am not Seer Fox, I will answer your question, basically because I like being annoying.

The answer is, of course, Isaac Newton.

Nah, he's more of a spork, really.

If your parents taught you not to play with food, you really shouldn't play with the utensils too... How many spoons do you have? Let's try it

I counted mine. I have 18 spoons of two kinds.

Just for me alone.

3, otherwise you would have laid out more of them.  GET LARGER DRAWERS (sp?)
Unsophisticated players might think that the Letter of the rules is more important than the Spirit - but the Letter isn't liable to sneak up behind you with an axe if you abuse it.

That's the closest yet... ::)

I will give the answer on Friday afternoon if nobody finds out by then. Yes, I said 'find out', not 'guess'.

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say George bush is two faced and theres no room for another spoon cause you can put it to his other right...
To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.

As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
