OSHA requires there be 1 ladder every 25yds in any hole/ditch that is higher than 6 ft deep

If a hole is 100yds in length...and is 7 ft deep how many ladders are needed?

Ignoring the width of the ditch, then 3.

I beat Crimson Room, but couldn't beat Viridian Room. Haven't played White Chamber yet.

why do women have such small feet

so they can stand closer to the sink

Tops* · 01-27-2008, 11:23 PM

This riddle will probably leave some stumped like a tree in a rainforest.

What is the search tab used for?

Answer: Searching.

you are in a brick building with two seperate rooms and and a hallway connecting them. there is only one door leading into the hallway for each room. there are no windows or other means of exiting the rooms and you cannot see into the the other room through the walls or by opening the doors.

there are 3 light switches in one room that work 3 light bulbs in the other. how do you know what switch goes to what bulb?

*EDIT*- you can only enter the room with the bulbs once

thanks yudalicious +1

you flip on a light switch, preferably one on either the left or the right for memory purpose....now you leave that swith on for a couple of minutes then turn it off, immediately flipping the middle switch. and right here is where you run into the other room....if the light is on then you know the middle switch is it. if the light is off then you feel the light bulb. if it's hot wor warm then you know the first switch you flicked was the correct one, if it is cold then you know the last switch is the right one.

so you're in a house. the house has four walls and each wall has one window. each window has a southern exposure. a bear walks by. what color is the bear and why?

Does it have anything to do with the fact in your original statement you said "...higher than 6ft deep..." it just seems like a weird adjective to use there. You're gonna make me stay up all night...

LOL - what if I were to tip toe on top of the green dotted line? Anyway, your question was asking something different though - it says "1 ladder every 25 yards" is required, which is different from "you must be within 25 yds distance from a ladder at any given time," which is what your scenario is. Now I can go to sleep, all is well. Someone take a shot at the quarter placing riddle.

What word can you write foward, backward, or upside and can still be read from side to side ?

The word... I.

Someone explain the Devil/Quarter. And if it's some dumb shit, like you place a quarter, then flip the table over, I'm gonna be pissed.

knives got it, but I guess I works too.

trust187 · 01-28-2008, 11:19 AM

I start with the letter "E". I end with the letter "E". I usually contain only one letter, yet I am not the letter "E".

What am I?

Tops* · 01-28-2008, 11:35 AM

I just don't know how this one works.

It's a visual trick. Watch the image carefully. The first triangular segment that's cut away is 8 wide, 3 tall (this is the upper left segment). The upper right segment is also 8 x 3. The lower segments each consist of a rectangular piece that's 3 x 5, and a triangular piece that's 2 x 5.

The key here is recognizing that the slopes of the triangular pieces don't actually match up. The upper segments have a slope of 3/8; the lower segments have a slope of 2/5. 3/8 <> 2/5. For the pieces to actually fit together the way they do in that picture, the slope of the upper segments (which is 3/8) would have to intersect perfectly with the corner 5 blocks over, 2 blocks down. It may appear to in the image, but it doesn't.

It's just a trick - if you were to do it on a gridded paper, it would not work out as the GIF shows.
Here's a hint for the quarter placing problem - think symmetry (and no, it has no tricks, and assume the devil won't screw you over regardless).

SHIFT_*grind* · 01-28-2008, 12:40 PM

Here are my offerings:

1) A detective arrives at a crime scene. The Prime Minister has apparently been assassinated, shot in the head while sitting in his car. The windows are all rolled up, none of them broken. There is no gun, or gunpowder residue, on the inside of the car.

He was alone in the car, with all the doors locked, when he was assassinated, yet there is no evidence of any of the doors having been jimmied or opened at all.

The detective is able to solve the case without trouble. Why?

2) A king enters his castle after a long day of fighting wars. Tired, he goes upstairs to take a long, hot bath. He enters his bathroom and shuts the heavy, airtight oak door. As he closes it, the latch on the outside falls shut, locking him in. He pounds on the door, trying to get someone to hear him, but it's no use; his servants won't be upstairs for another few hours. He figures he may as well take his bath while he's in there, so he turns on the water. After a few minutes, he goes to turn the water off and finds that the taps are stripped.

The room is airtight, with no windows or ways out, the tub is filling up fast, and the rest of the room won't be far behind. How can the king avoid drowning?

He was shot through the sunroof?

1) My first though was sunroof or windshield, but I'm going with his driver/close associate, who has access to the car.

2) Drain.

i dont get what you dont know....the purpose for leaving the switch on and then turning it off before you go check is that if it had been that switch the light bulb would be off when you go check it but the bulb would be hot because we all know after being on for a couple minutes a bulb is pretty hot.

here's another one.

Two days ago, Suzy was 8. Next year, she'll be 11. How is this possible?

SHIFT_*grind* · 01-28-2008, 01:06 PM

I'm terrible at trying to remember exactly how to tell the riddle, but I'll clarify: None of the glass in the car is broken, and the passenger compartment is completely sealed off from the driver's.

And yep, just pull the drain plug
