    here is another riddle for 100 minerals

    Create the number 24 using only these numbers once each: 2, 3, 10, 10. You may use only the following functions: +, -, *, /. This is not a trick question; for example, the answer does not involve a number system other than base 10 and does not allow for decimal points

    also
    whats up with that? i gave good minerals for that riddle.
    also
    mc2 u gave ez questions, just i wasent awake when u posted or i woulda got in 5 secs

    same rules as always.

    3-10 = 7

    7x2 = 14

    14+10 = 24

    Edit: Er, i mean 10-3 lol.

    you can always ask mc2 for minerals to post riddles for,

    sc2forum will give you minerals too but less likely (gave me 3000)

    wow the coin one is hard.

    oh and it is now worth 700 minerals.

    edit: alright i figured it out now. this is really hard, i dont think you guys will get it.

    flipping a coin infinitely would result in an infinite amount of tails and heads... right? infinite = infinite so 100% chance for an equal amount?

    I'd love to know the answer to this one xD

    ok i finaly figured it out,,,, took 30 mins and also 5 calculators open at once, ive messed up like 3 times with this but i re-evaluated it 5 times and im sure im right now.

    by the way its not an even % so if you can tell me between what 2 whole % it is the prize has been uped 1 more time,

    700 minerals and 2x :powerup: for the correct answer.

    okay since i now have enough minerals for prizes, here's my puzzle for all of you to answer.

    this is for 750 minerals and a  :powerup:

    during a war, 3 men were captured by enemy soldiers. they were gagged and brought to their hideout. the captain of the platoon wishes to test the three men of their intelligence, so, he ordered his soldiers to tie and blindfold each of them up on chairs. once done, they alligned and made to face one direction and took off their blindfolds. here's how they look:

        h          h          h
      guy 1    guy 2    guy 3

    take note that those guys are facing this way ------>

    oh yeah. the "h" stands for their chairs.

    when they have done this, the captain showed the three men 5 hats, 3 of which is white and 2 is black. he told them that he's gonna place 1 hat of random color on each of their heads and they would try to guess what color of the hat they're wearing within 1 minute. any one of them may answer, but if they answered incorrectly, moved a bit, talk or ran out of time, they will be shot. so they were once again blindfolded and he began putting hats on each of their heads. when the blindfold was removed, the soldiers took aim on them preparing to fire once an error occurred.

    after 59 seconds of sitting quitely, the man in front (that's guy 3) answered. the captain was astonished because he got the right answer so they were set free.

    what was the color of the hat of the man in front and EXPLAIN how he got that answer.

    okay rules are:

    1. the answer of the color and full and clear explanations is required.
    2. first one to answer correctly wins
    3. no edits
    4. okay here's the tricky part. i will provide 3 hints for those who will ask for it but i will deduct 50 minerals per hint given. also, if you wish for me to answer the right color for you to just explain why, i will deduct 100 minerals. well, that goes for everyone.

    let the game begin!

    oh yeah one more thing, this will not involve math, just logical and deductive reasoning.

    ok guy 1 see the guys ahead and because he doesent speak up we atomaticly know that 2 and 3 are not both wearing black hats otherwize 1 would speak up therfore at least one of the hats is white, guy 2 knowing this he must know that if guy 3's hat is black then his must be white, but he also does not speak up, therefore guy 3 automaticly knows his hat is white.

    ive done this one before.

    hehe took a while to remember the logic tho.

    His hat was white. All of their hats were white. He figured this out since the captain's wording could be taken to mean that they all got the same color. Since they all have to be the same color, it couldn't be black since their are only 2 black hats.

    EDit: WOW tweak! Nice logic.
