Brainteaser/Puzzle Corner (Part 5)

Sorry for double post

Question on the word one, may you remove or add a letter or must you only change an existing letter

Also, does the equstion one have to do with redefining addition?

 

Well If bizzaro can do it once so can I, sorry for tripple post

The palindrome riddle. If you write the word on a clear strip of plastic and roll it up to make a ring so that the F and L formed an E you would get EOOTSTOOE. The first E may actually be an F but because it overlaps the L it looks like and E and when you get to L it also Looks like an E because it is overlapped with the F. You are still starting at the same place and ending at the same place as before, if just looks different.

 

for the number one

when you can't do math?

 

The answer to the word one is a follows

Krone

Baht

Kuna

Guilder

Peso

Cedi

Rial

Dong

The theme is currency

 

150 minerals. No googs. Not a movie, famous comic / speaker.

"I can imagine a perfect world. A world without hate, A world without war. And I can imagine us attacking that world because they'd never see it coming."

 

Quick guess

Woody Allen

He's a comic and that sounds pesemistic enough to be him

 

No my friend. keep guessing.

 

I'll take one more crack at this and then I'll leave it for someone else to figure out

Al Franken

 

Yes they do.

Explain for which country.

 

Krone is used in Denmark or at least it was, they might use the Euro now

The Thai use the baht

Croatia uses the kuna

Netherlands used to use the guilder but I think they use the Euro now

Peso is used by alot of Latin America

Ghana uses the cedi

Rial are used in the middle east, I know Iran uses them

Dong is the currency of Vietnam

 

That is correct Quanta. 150 minerals to you. :good:

 

the hell, sounds like google



FOOTSTOOL is a palindrome when using wingdings 2

 

It's absolutely ridiculous that you were able to figure that out. You're insane.

Anyway, I figured out the FOOTSTOOL one. There's actually two plausible answers...

#1 - It's a palindrome in American Sign Language. Obviously, the OOTSTOO part of it is palindromic in and of itself. "F" in ASL is made by holding up your middle, ring, and small fingers. The "L" is made by holding up the opposite, by holding up your index and thumb. So if you flipped it backwards, it would make the same word.

#2 - It's a palindrome in Morse Code. Again, the OOTSTOO part of it is palindromic in and of itself. "F" in Morse Code is Short-Short-Long-Short, or Dot-Dot-Dash-Dot and "L" in Morse Code is Dot-Dash-Dot-Dot.

So the whole word would be...

Dot-Dot-Dash-Dot (F) Dash-Dash-Dash (O) Dash-Dash-Dash (O) Dash (T) Dot-Dot-Dot (S) Dash (T) Dash-Dash-Dash (O) Dash-Dash-Dash (O) Dot-Dash-Dot-Dot (L)

I'm gonna get to work on that math one now. I was wondering if you could tell me if they were actually numbers, or if the numbers were representative of something else, sort of like my original guess of them representing calendar dates? Of course, if you think that makes the riddle too much easier, I'll just make do without.

 

The equation is true if you put it in a computer that denotes even numbers by 1 and odd numbers by 0
16 + 53 + 3 + 27 + 7 = 14
1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1
ja?

 

No one knows? the answer is Jack Handey. SNL quote legend.

 

The answer is correct. And the numbers represent something else.

 

i've my own quote for 100 minerals

"Come into my parlor."





so uh...for the numbers, does it use any special base?

 

Quote for 250 minerals. Amazing movie, no googles, I doubt few here havent seen it.

"Take off that stupid bunny suit." "Take off that stupid man suit..." "...Take it off."

 

@Hadean

That quote is from Donnie Darko if I'm remembering. Ummmm all I can remeber is donnie said it, I dont know who he said it to though.

 

Correct. Next one is good. 200 minerals:

"Can I get you anything?" "A peach. Come here, sit. You know, I can eat a peach for hours."
