Pretty good one. I would never have thought of that.

PS im correct about the 288 one too right?

um... I didnt see you try at #14.... but if it was the "you idiot." then no... the answer is because it is too gross (144 is a gross, so 288 would be 2 gross.) oh, and as for the "fair riddle" on the first of page five..... 1

Albatross Soup:

A man walks into a restaurant, and asks the waiter what the soup specials are. The waiter tells him "Albatross Soup". Surprised, the man orders a bowl, and waits for it to arrive. The waiter brings him his soup. The man takes one sip, savors it, then stops in his tracks. The man then gets up, walks outside into an alley, and kills himself.

What happened?

I will answer all yes or no questions. If you already know the answer, PLEASE don't share it. Let everyone else have some fun.

LUNA I ALREADY GOT IT REMEMBER!?!?! His pet salamander's mother's cousin was once good friends with an albatross. But that albatross betrayed his mother's cousin by stealing the secret wishing rune and selling it to the evil Albatross king. The restaurant owner was paid 439 capatulawoos to hunt down the king and kill him. But the restaurant owner didn't know the Albatross king had swallowed the secret wishing rune, so he cooked the Albatross king in soup. When our protagonist swallowed his spoonful of albatross soup he realized he had just swallowed the secret wishing rune and, racked with guilt, went into the alley and confessed to his pet salamander who was waiting for him in a gutter (the restaurant was still pet-ist and refused service to non-humans). His salamander knew how important the secret wishing rune was to the salamander people, so he convinced our protagonist to kill himself so that the salamander could burrow into his body and retrieve the secret wishing rune. THE END.

Jeez, luna. It's so simple!

[Note: this is an abstract puzzle to get people to think out of the box)

Take the table, snap it in half, put it back together, two halves make a hole, crawl out.

Out freaking standing! I guess I didn't need to give the hint after all. Although, to be more correct you would take what you saw in the mirror, use that on the table to make two halves and since two halves do make a whole, you could then crawl out of the hole.

And yes, the first answer to riddle one is a Mirror!

Actually the thing is that you're not adding 2 to the 27 to get 30, you're subtracting it to get the 25. They paid $25 for the room + $2 tip to the bellboy and got $3 in change ($1 each). They paid $27 collectively and still have $1 each.

It's kind of a fast-talk thing where most people don't catch that you're adding the wrong stuff. When they say $27 + $2 it's completely wrong because the women don't have $27, they have $3, and the hotel guy downstairs has the $25. Ultimately, it's that the 27 already includes the 2, and it doesn't make sense to add 2 again.

Have I explained it yet, or confused the issue further?

Edit: I guess what I mean is, Mudshark is right. There's not a math exception, just a way of twisting words.

heres a hard one....

you are standing in front of 2 doors and a guard infront of each...

one guard always tell the truth and the other one always lies

one door leads to death, and the other to safety.

you can only ask 1 question to only 1 of the 2 guards...

what would you ask to find the right door to safety
