    alright heres a hard puzzle for 300 minerals and 2x :powerup:

    its all math so be ready

    there is a crazy guy who likes to open doors
    so the asylum puts him in a room with 100 doors
    the man starting on door 1 opens all the doors (1-100)
    then he comes back to door 1 and closes every 2nd door (2, 4,6...)
    then he comes back to door 1 and opens/closes every 3rd door (3,6,9...)
    now say this continues for 100 rounds

    how many doors are left open?
    what are the door numbers of the opened doors?

    hehe that should keep u guys busy
    and i de-googlized it so it wont show up
    same rules as always no edits no google first correct post wins

    also my other riddle is still unsolved.

    opened numbers:
    every odd number except ones which are multiples of 3, and all even numbers which are multiples of 3

    wrong power kickass i think you are assuming that this only happens 3 times like i displayed thru examples but he also opens every 4th door every 5th door,...... all the way to every 99th door then every 100th door.

    oh and 1 more puzzle

    a man flips a coin an infinate number of times,
    what is the chance that during his flips that there is an equal amount of heads and tails?
    assuming an exact 50% heads 50% tails probability

    also more math this one will get you 50 minerals.

    i have no idea what you're talking about there but you tend to have difficulties explaining your puzzles properly....(to me anyways lol)

    i think it usually loses meaning during your transition from googleable riddles lol

    oh and at your other question: 0%

    EDIT: ok you can let some other people post stuff now :p

    The probability of such occurence goes -> 1 (100%)

    I think i solved it, but I'm not too sure...There should be 10 doors left open and they should be Doors 1, Door 4, Door 9, Door 16, Door 25, Door 36, Door 49, Door 64, Door 81, and Door 100 because everytime he starts over, all those doors that he closes he reopens. Like for example when he is doing the 2x Doors, he closes 2,4,6 etc. but then when he does 4x, since its been closed from 2x he opens its back up. Same thing with when he does it 3x, he closes the door 9 but reopens it when he does 9x etc. etc.

    This is a very easy one, 1st member correct gets a power up
    In a horse race, you just overtook the 2nd horse, what place are you in now?

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This next one is slightly harder, 1st member correct gets 500 minerals

    In a 100 meters sprint, runners A, B and C started at the same time.
    Runner B arrived at the 90m mark when runner A arrived at the 100m mark.
    Runner C arrived at the 90m mark when runner B arrived at the 100m mark.
    Where was runner C when runner A arrived at the 100m mark?

    Runner C was at the 81 m mark.

    Let's say A ran 100 meters in 10 seconds... so A ran 10 m/s. This meant B ran it in 9 m/s or 90%. C ran it at 90% of B. So C ran it at 8.1 m/s thus 81 m. <--- Easier for me to visualize... I mean you don't need to convert it to speed. ^_^

    For 250 minerals:

    Y  Y  H  L  Y  E  Y  T  R ? ? ?

    Hint 1: Each letter has to do with a word. (i.e. each letter represents the 2nd letter in each word)
    Hint 2: It's sequential
    Hint 3: Count how many total letters there are (missing and given) (there are 12 letters ;) )

    I doubled the amount of minerals and gave another hint. Somebody is bound to get this now... haha  ;)

    you know sometimes a hint will tend to make the question more confusing. ???

    yea these hints arent really that confusing.

    this is much much easier than what tweak gave with the "A F I L N ? ? ?"

    I think I know how to do it xD (probably not correct though)

    the trick?: for each number from 1-100 determine the amount of numbers it can be divided by and if it's uneven then it's open (e.g 42: 3 14 6 7 2 21 42 1 -> 8numbers so it's not open) so 16 is open (1 16 2 8 4)

    can't be bothered to go all the way with this alexei

    ow never mind peter.hong already solved it xD
