    feathers?

    @Drafter

    well, okay.

    okay, i'll add more quotes. meanwhile here're the other left unanswered.

    for 100 minerals:

    "if you wear this woven band, you hold the city in your hand"

    for 100 minerals:

    "if God wants to be glorified, why did he make me so small and weak?"

    for 100 minerals:

    "gentlemen, though you deserve to be champions doesn't mean they're gonna give it to you. sometimes, you gotta take what's yours."

    for 100 minerals:

    "i'm terrified, petrified, mortified, stupified by you."

    and here's another one.

    for 100 minerals:

    "...fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate... leads to suffering. i sense much fear in you."
    same rules, state the character and movie.

    burkid was right about it being food, i said starving city twice for emphasis. i was going to make him tell me why, but i decided not to

    for 300 minerals

    You have two ropes (or fuses, or whatever). Each of them requires one hour to burn completely. However, they may burn irregularly, such that half of the rope may burn in more or less than half an hour; you don't know the burning time of anything less than a full rope. How can you measure 45 minutes accurately with these ropes?

    Light both ends of one rope and one end of the other. After 30 minutes, you will have burned 30 minutes' of rope from each end of the first rope, or thus one hour worth of rope -- the entire rope. When the flames from the first rope get together and extinguish themselves, light the other end of the second rope. 30 minutes of rope will remain, but this will burn in 15 minutes when burning from both ends.


    It's an old trick ;)

    Wow he didn't even tried to modify the text.. he simply removed the "Initially"

    I say he doesn't deserve the mineral.

    and he took the answer from the same website where you took the riddle.. (I clicked on the question to actually see how it was asked...)

    anyway.. this is pretty funny.. I guess we caught a googler hehe.

    Power down for -|LT|-
