They weren't good












they were great

 

[Skeeta Olly]

So much nostalgia.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

A Digimon.

How good were they?

They were good until they died.

 

[Beerfish]

Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?

As weak as piss if you can't handle a little water.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

What if it's an oil fire? Water aint doing shit to dat.

 

[Burzum]

If there's a riddle, the answer is always fire.

What if it's an oil fire? Water aint doing shit to dat.

Was gonna say the exact same thing.

Fire is the obvious answer to that riddle.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

If there's a riddle, the answer is always fire.

Or ice.

What has teeth but no mouth?

Put 1 of the first sheik's coins, 2 of the second sheik's coins, 3 of the third sheik's coins ... 9 of the ninth sheik's coins and none of the last sheik's coins on the scale.

If it weighs 45 ounces, the tenth sheik is the guilty one. If it weighs 44.9 ounces, the first sheik is guily. 44.8, the second. 44.7 the third. 44.6 the fourth. 44.5, the fifth. 44.4, the sixth. 44.3, the seventh. 44.2 the eighth, 44.1 the ninth.

Good answer. I was thinking "look at the coins and it will be obvious", which made me think you couldn't take the coins out of the bag or it would be too easy.

Here's my favourite 'brain-teaser' of all time. Caused a major shitstorm in the US when it was published, lol.

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car, behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat. He says to you, "Do you want to pick door #2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?

No, because the host never tells the truth. Door 2 has a goat, door 1 is a 50/50 chance to be a car

Hang on, you watched one of pp's videos?

 

[Kong]

Never.

Annoyed that he persists in posting them.

 

[eth-dog]

Got this off a mate: When one does not know what it is, then it is something; but when one knows what it is, then it is nothing. What is it?

 

[Kong]

A walking clock?

 

[eth-dog]

Incorrect.

It's not 'nothing' again, is it?

 

[eth-dog]

It's not 'nothing' again, is it?

No, actually. And don't bother with the Yahoo answers ones, all incorrect. This is quite perplexing
