Brain teaser / puzzle corner (part 2)

Solve this damage dice eqution for 1 mineral!!!!

(7)(12)(93)

Tell me the minimum and maximum damage...

 

uh im not sure how this works.

do you mean each die has either 7, 12, or 93 sides?

is it added or multiplyed or what?
never played a game with damage dice....

doesent that boost my ego hehe

uh 1 and 7812

EDIT: heres a new puzzle for you. 200 minerals it is worth
Create the number 24 using only these numbers once each: 3, 3, 7, 7. 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.

 

Tweak!!!

After much pain and calculating i have your answer 

7 times (  3 divided by 7 plus 3 )   or    7(3/7+3)

because 3 times 7 is 21 ... close ... and 3/7 times 7 equals 3  put it together... 21 and 3 is 24

YAY my first one!!!


is it right?

 

We need to break out some Blaine the Mono

Here's one for 150 minerals:

Feed me and I live, Give me water then I die. What am I?


Straight from the train's mouth Good luck.

 

Needcatscan

is it a fire? you feed it wood and if you give it water it dies?

 

you know i have to look up riddle to post all the ones i do right? i saw this one yesterday the answer is

fire

and gah? redo the math. that doesnt come out to equal 24
+ you can ony use each number once when you wrote it (the one that would work) you used 7 three times

 

You are fire.

 

noooo 12 secs too late i shouldent of responded to gah with his incorrectness. UGH

 

A baby? or maby fire? or maybe Gingerbread Man?

 

no tweak... when i said

"because 3 times 7 is 21 ... close ... and 3/7 times 7 equals 3  put it together... 21 and 3 is 24"

i was just explaining how i did it, notice it says put it together, as in the two parts of the equation...i know there are 3 sevens in there but I used the correct number in my answer which does equal 24

obviously if you have 3x7 and (3/7)x7  you can combine it into (3/7+3)x7 which equals 24 and has the right number of numbers      what is wrong?

do you want more parentheses?  like    ((3/7)+3)7=24    better?

 

???
hmm mabey i should start figureing out the answer to my puzzles before i post em.

ill think about it.

so it seems gah is correct, and those xtra () did help by the way

Also heres a new puzzle.
Elf+
Elf=
Fool

works the same as the qwert puzzle and this one is worth 250 minerals
e=? l=? f=? o=?

 

if you follow the order of operations, the first 3 would be divided by 7 before the other 3 was added to that.

but i will admit they did make it more understandable


OOOOOO ive done that ELF one before!!!!!

 

Well two numbers of three digits can only make a four digit number below 2000 so the F must equal 1

If F is 1 then L must be 2 because F + F = L  (1+1=2)

then L + L = O so O = 4  (2 + 2 = 4)

finally 1442 divided by 2 is 721 thus E = 7

E=7  L=2  F=1 O=4

 

ur evil gah! fine take all my money!

heres one you wont get!

for 500 minerals:
13 dudes have this chest that contains a stack of dirty magazines (lol) now you see they want to set it up so that if the majoraty wants to see them they can but if its only a minoraty they wont be able to.
so they get this lockmaker and he puts a certain amount of locks on the chest. and each of the horny dudes gets a certain amount of keys: the question is what is the minimum amount of locks on the chest and the minimum amount of keys each horney dude needs to carry if any majoraty (7) of them want to open it?

hehe that will stump u also you get 2x owerup:

for an extra 500 minerals label the keys that each dude has (a, b , c....)

rules: no edits, no google, (but can u tell i de-googleized it?) and first to post correct wins, both for part one and part two

 

you may have me there Tweak! ;D

that sounds realllllly tough

hmmm...

 

whoa this aint no puzzle thread anymore. its more of a math quiz show.

lol. where? from the other thread?

 

alright heres a riddle for 200 minerals

The dude who invented it doesn't want it. The dude who bought it doesn't need it. The dude who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

same rules as always.

 

coffin. lol.

 

see thats why i dont do riddles that much they get solved sooooooo quick

heres another 50 minerals.

In a marble hall white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal-clear
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in to steal its gold.

 

nah. i did an honest answer. no google i swear. my mom is a witness on how i answered it. lol.

hmm, im guessing your riddle is a metaphor.
