Note: my previous riddle still hasn't been solved.
----------------------------------------------
Dr. Parnacious was called called in to investigate some symbols on a broken tablet believed to be left by aliens. Since these symbols were not part of any known language of hieroglyphics, some scientists smugly believed this to be irrefutable proof of an outside intelligent life-form. However, after looking at the symbols for only a minutes Dr. Parnacious was able to determine that not only were these not alien symbols, but could tell the scientists what the next symbol in the series was. How was he able to do this and what is the next symbol? (symbols shown below)

You ask one guy:"Which way will the other guy recommend me?"
Then you ask the other guy:"Which road leads to the school?"

If the first one says: "He will recommend you the right way.", but the 2nd guy recommends you the left way, you know that the first one is lieing and so the 2nd ones speaks the truth --> left way leads to school

If the first one says: "He will recommend you the left way.", and the 2nd guy recommends you the left road, you know that the first guy spoke the truth, and the 2nd guy was lieing --> right way leads to school.

I guess that's the right answer Razz

He wasn't in a car was he?

The one question is "Which way would the other person tell me to go?" You then go promptly the opposite direction.
Explanation: if one of them always lies, then no matter who you ask, you will end up with the wrong way. If you ask the one who lies, than he will say the opposite of the right way because he is lying about what the one telling the truth would say. If you ask the one who tells the truth, he would truthfully tell you that the other one would tell you the wrong path, and tell that path to you. Either way you get the wrong path and so you go the opposite direction.

"Which road would the other boy recommend?"

1-1: Right side is school, asking boy who lies -> A: Left
1-2: Left side is school, asking boy who lies -> A: Right
2-1: Right side is school, asking boy who speaks truth -> A: Left
2-2: Left side is school, asking boy who speaks truth -> A: Right

So in either case you just negate the answer you get.

well done you two :3

now post more riddles

**Evisto** Sun Dec 05, 2010 6:12 am

New Riddle:

If u halve 12 it equals 7...How is that possible?

It's quite easy :3

**Bragdivald** Sun Dec 05, 2010 6:20 am

time for more numbers! what should be instead of the "?" (very easy)

7......5.....10

........3

?......2.....4

IGNORE THE DOTS! they're just there to line up the numbers right

**Evisto** Sun Dec 05, 2010 6:43 am

I got it:
7-3=4 (diagonal from left up to right down)
5-3=2 (middle up to middle down)
so it should be 1-3=? (diagonal right up to left down)
That means the ?=7
:3

Riddle:
An old man is sitting at a bar. A police man came over to him and asked "Are you new to this town?". The old man said "Yes.". So the police man told the old man to see the "village idiot". When they got to his house the police man set a quarter and a dollar on the door mat and rung the doorbell, then hid. The "village idiot" came out and took the quarter. The old man and police man stop hiding and the old man said "That man is no idiot!". Why?

**Bragdivald** Sun Dec 05, 2010 9:52 am

the reason he takes the quarter : if he takes the dollar people will stop giving him money

**willrocks** Sun Dec 05, 2010 12:29 pm
