    Default pevergreen's incredibly hard questions (Game) [Concluded]

    Well done to Sasaki who got the first question correct, 1 point to you, sir.

    Rules: As many guesses as you want, the only infomation you get is what the question has.

    All question come from the game Mindtrap, they will appear in the order i pull them out, so no complaining if 5 hard ones in a row.

    First person to get it right, gets 1 point, most points at the end, wins!

    (ill make nifty little pics for winners)

    As soon as i see the correct answer, i will quote it, say congratulations and then post next question.

    EDIT: Little Clue, these questions require you to think differently:

    Its L shaped so:


    |= wall
    anything else = pipe
    (back to front L shape)
    |
    | |
    | |
    | |
    |-----

    Inside that pipe, a 2 inch diameter ping pong ball is dropped. It stays down there, it doesnt roll along the pipe.

    (The pipe does lead anywhere, its covered by cement at the end, so nothing can come out of it etc)

    You have a shaving mirror, a few paper clips, some string a magnet and a comb.
    Get the ping pong ball out.

    That was the correct answer.

    First Question:
    Shadow watched in horror as the convertible sports car seemed to lose control. It crashed through the guard rail, causing the driver to be thrown out of the car and down a 50 meter cliff. Shadow scrambled down the incline to the body. The bloodied driver was pronounced dead, About ten meters away the car lay on its side. Shadow examined the car and immediately noticed several things; the buckle from the driver's seat belt was missing, the driver's seat was covered in fresh blood, and one of the four new tires was punctured by a large nail. Shadow was certain the driver had not been killed in the car accident, but was already dead. Why?

    He killed the driver? I'm guessing the nail and the seat buckle are red herrings.

    Also, the fact that there is blood on the seat when there wouldn't be any just from the accident.

    Maybe the name shadow has something to do with it.

    Just to make it clear

    Shadow is a detective, Sid Shady is a criminal, Slug is a gansta (most of the time) Shadow is always a detective, always good.

    Ok. I don't know who those other 2 guys are though.

    The driver had been shot? Or stabbed or blunt instrument or whatever, something obviously not from the car crash.

    Default Re: pevergreen's incredibly hard questions (Game)

    Thats close enough to the correct answer

    Answer: Since the driver had been thrown from the car upon impact with the guard rail, there was no chance of his blood being all over the car seat unless he was put there.

    Close enough to end the question, not close enough to get any points.

    Points Tally
    Sasaki: 1

    Next Question:
    Professor Quantum was giving a lecture on "The Life of Aristocracy in the 19th Century". "It was during a large festive gathering of nobility," began Quantum, "when a fairly common occurence took place. The Queen suddenly attacked and killed the King. The crowd watched the entire scene and then casuall continued their party. In what situation in the 19th century would a crowd be so casual about the Queen killing the King?"

    Correct! GH gets a point

    Next Question
    During a world fair a group of scientists were exhibiting their advances in genetic engineering. There were cross-breeds of various bulls, cows, and other domestic farm animals. Featured in the exhibit were several over-sized prize turkeys. One afternoon during the show, a woman walked up to the exhibit, shot the turkeys and then ran out of the building. Although she was known to a number of people, nobody made any attempt to stop her. Why?

    Next Question

    Imagine two bridges that are exactly alike except that every dimension of one bridge is exactly two times longer, its structural membesr are exactly two times thicker and so forth. Which of the two bridges would be stronger, or is their strength the same?

    The smaller one I'd imagine, in the same way that if humans were 20 feet tall our leg bones would shatter.

    And pever, it's just that there's only us two on right now.

    edit: I'd kill GH for getting in before me again but his answer is different :p

    Another point to Sasaki
    The smaller bridge is twice as strong. If a steel girder, B, is twice the size of girder A in every dimension, it will be twice as strong as girder A but it will weigh 8 times as much. The double-size bridge could be so weak that it would collapse under its own weight.

    Points Tally
    Sasaki=3
    GH=1
    (come on! go GH or a newcomer!)

    Next Question:
    The coach of the college baseball team, Buck Knox, was checking the residence grounds to be certain his players were in by curfew. Suddenly, he heard a loud crash and turned to catch a glimpse of a man running into the residence. Buck thought it was his star right-handed pitcher, Art Dodger, but he couldn't be sure. Buck went to Art;s room and opened the door. Art Dodger stood in the middle of the room, his right leg in his pants and his left leg out. Art, looking at the wrist watch on his left arm said, "I heard a loud crash and was just getting dressed to see what happened," he stammered. "Forget the bull," said Buck, "I'm certain it was you who just ran in here. For that little caper, you won't be playing tomorrow." How could Buck Knox be so certain it was Art who had been out after curfew?

    mmm, he turned right at the red light, traveling with the flow of traffic on the one way street but in the opposite direction of his school?

    Next Question

    Ben and Carl were in a 100 meter race. When Ben crossed the finish line, Carl was only at the 90 meter mark. Ben suggested they run another race. This time Ben would start ten meters behind the starting line. All other things being equal, will Carl win, lose, or will it be a tie in the second race?

    Ben will run 100 meters in the time it takes carl to run 90; they will both then be at the 90 meter mark. Ben will run the remaining 10 in the time it takes carl to run 9.

    Next Question:

    Heidi Bush has a cottage situated on a well treed lot in Northern Tasmania. She enjoys keeping her lot in top condition by fertilizing, pruning and removing deadwood and broken branches. However, Heidi has a rather strange habit regarding her little forest. Every once in a while, she'll chop down a perfectly healthy tree and put it in a large pot. She'll water the tree and fertilize it etc. and a short time later when she grows tired of it, she burns it. Could there be any rational explanation for this seemingly strange behaviour?
