What is the question? What do U want us to find.I've solved this riddle before wen I was in d Uni but can't remember.Will try to do it again but first of all,what do u want us to find from d info given?

dlex21: 1. nine

2. thursday is the name of the horse

3. when u turn them upside down, the numbers remain desame

4. F

5. coin

Wow!!!! U got nos 2,3,4,5 correctly.That's a 4/5.Very good.First position for u.lolz.

RuuDie: !

"brought the ball to a dead-stop". . .for real!!?

CR7's ball-control before he pulled the trigger was anything but classic; for a pro, almost atrocious - he didn't 'kill' that ball properly and almost lost it in that moment.
Watch Berbatov and you will better understand what "dead-sstop" ball-control is!

Yeah,Babatov controls d ball superbly only that he stays on a spot(around d 18 area)most times,waits for d ball to come,shields,controls and scores.Controlling d ball while in motion,facing threats from running defenders,trying to keep ur eyes on d ball,defenders and at d same time watching d position of d goalie is a difft ball game entirely and only players in d class of Messi and Ronaldo are capable of executing such herculean task perfectly(infact ,the commentator exxagerated it and said ,'only 2 of d best players in d world scores that kind of goal').I hope U realise also that,d time btw d backheel and d scoring of that goal took less than 10seconds.That's brilliant!....Okay,u guy's are yet to even ans d OP's question.

ddippset: lol. how ridiculous can we be. messi's superb freekick was a 50 -50? are you kidding me or what? oh! you didnt see that pique got to the ball first and that if he wasnt probably thinking about shakira he would have cleared the ball to the stands, just as a pepe would? na messi own you come see to be 50 -50. you're wrong brother.

Don't get me wrong.D 50:50 I said was not comparing C Ronaldo's shot to Messi's freekick.I was comparing CR's overall technique in scoring that goal with Messi's single technique and d 50:50 means that it could go either way.It would be difficult for Pique to clear d ball based on d angle d ball was travelling.D bbest he could av done was to put Ronaldo in check and allow d ball to settle,before he could do that,d fast Ronaldo already sneeked a backheel.lmao.

musKeeto:

musKeeto:
1. Four is the owner of the company and Five is the noisemaker in the crowd

musKeeto: 2. Horse's name was Thursday

Good.

musKeeto: 3. the letter e? their spelling

No,that's not d answer.

musKeeto: 4. J F.. it's a list of the first letters of the month.. F's the answer

Very good!

musKeeto: 5. Coin.

Correct!

You scored 3/5. Best performance so far.

Tinkybabe:

Tinkybabe:
1)crowd (it should be numbers tho)P

Wrong!

Tinkybabe: 2)thursday is a horse(Tinkybabe has got some supernatural powers in reality )P

That's correct. I won't mind if I get a bit of ur supernatural powers.

Tinkybabe: 3) yes,I do(answering the question)P

.Okay.so, what is it?

Tinkybabe: 4)It's a word not a letter and the word is 'what'(what is... )P

Lolz

Tinkybabe: 5)He saw a coin and a lion(but he's a brave man,so wasn't scared)P

.Yeah,he saw a coin.That's correct! :
P

Tinkybabe,U scored 2/5.

habayommy: 2. The name of the horse is Thursday

5. He probably saw a coin or a dice. A coin has a head and a tail

1. Four's shareholder and five's multitude

3. Thε̲̣γ are numbers and 2-digit numbers
Am I on track?

U got 2 and 5 correctly.Name of horse is Thursday..and D explorer saw a coin. U scored 2/5. Ur answer to no 1 got me laughing.

I watched d highlight of that match and I will pick Ronaldo's backheel,vision on d ball(he had his eyes on d ball wen it went up),superb ball control which brought d ball to a dead stop before shooting right there on d spot without moving.Messi's goal was very good too as it went behind d wall and curved into d net beating one of d best goal keepers in d world. With respect to technique,it was a 50/50. With respect to time,C Ronaldo had a shorter time to perform his brilliance(he scores higher there).With respect to motion,Ronaldo was on d move and faced a greater threat from oncoming defenders right behind him.The part that got me laughing was when Pique was searching for d ball after d backheel. In all,I give it to C. Ronaldo.That goal needs to be put in d museum if it were possible.Maybe a virtual museum would do.lolz.

Here are some new riddles and teasers.

1)If two's a company, and three's a crowd.
Then what's four and five ?

2) Tinkybabe left on a horse on Thursday , was gone for two days, and came back on Thursday How did that happen?

3) Einstein Knows what 11, 69, and 88 have in common?Do You ?

4) What's the missing letter?
J ? M A M J J A S O N D

5) An explorer goes on an exposition in the jungle. He sets up camp in the middle of the jungle. The next morning he sees something with a head and a tail, but he is not afraid. What did he see in his bag?

Tougher ones coming soon !!!!!!

dlex21: i'm not wicked o!!!
based on minds of gurus wey una get, u were expecting a complicated question...
to me, the question was very straightforward...make una no vex

answer this: what is 2 + 2=

Answer = 4. Am I right?

dlex21: nawa o!!! now that is a complicated answer

Really?
Fasten ur seat belts and get ready for more brainteasers,situation puzzles and maths teasers today.

naturalwaves: Hello dlex,tinkybabe,valiantvaliant and everyone.Here is another brain teaser.Try and solve it.

3 surgeons decided to go for a camp and hired a guide for assistance. Over campfire , they met with an accident and the guide got seriously injured. The guide needs surgery(a minor one). The 3 surgeons decide to operate but they have only two medical gloves. To save the guide , all three surgeons are needed to operate on the guide, in sequence.
How can this be done without any of them being exposed to the blood of any of the others?

The 1st surgeon will use glove A and will pull it off wen done.Glove A will have one clean side and one blood stained part.

The 2nd surgeon will put on glove B and do d same as d first surgeon.

As for d 3rd surgeon,he will put on glove A exactly d way d 1st surgeon wore it.Since he cannot use d blood stained surface on d patient again,he will reverse glove B leaving d clean side as d outermost and then put it ontop of d glove A he is putting on. By so doing,there won't be a direct lay of blood on his palms,d two blood stained surfaces will contact in-between and he will have a clean surface to perform his own surgery on d patient also.

naturalwaves: A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

The man will wait till evening when d sun goes down and then take d door of d room constructed from magnifying glass.

^^^Okay

^^^ Okay. What happened to my 2 riddles?

Tinkybabe: I'm with naturalwaves on it..this just goes on to confirm my observation.Dlex21 is one wicked guy..he framed the question to pose confusion..You must not be an examiner o.lol.

Thanks for activating our brain cells though..It seems you and naturawaves belong to the same league

Tinkybabe,me I'm innocent o.Dlex21 made me skip lunch and dinner cos I could not decipher his question on time. Are U in lagos?

dlex21: i admire the effort u put in but sowee 2 disappoint u...thats not the answer

the question says 5 consecutive numbers that u'll add up to give 22...thats all...no need for long work

Haaaaa......U did not ask d question well. We all thought u meant there are 22 terms in all and we should find d next 5 terms from where u stopped(*hits head on d table*).WTF!... But I will keep my solution anyway and test it on pple. ...Thanks for d compliment. Since I know what U meant now,then d answer is;
9,3,5,4,1. This couldn't av posed any prob.I'm sure others tot d same thing as I did think....u will see what they will say wen they come back.U don enter am today.

[quote author=dlex21 4) Find five consecutive numbers in the series that total 22: 7 3 9 6 4 1 3 7 9 3 5 4 1 7 6 5.....[/quote]The answer is 7,9,3,5,6. Here is d xplanation.
To my solution ;

7,3,9,6,4,1,3,7,9,3,5,4,1,7,6,5 is d given sequence. On a closer look,I observed d ff;

1)There is either an increase or a decrease in d value of consecutive terms with d smallest being 1 and d highest being 6.

2)There are only 7 numbers in d whole sequence which are ; 1,3,4,5,6,7,9

Taking d first number in d series I.e 7 as d 1st term,u will observe that there is a decrease btw 7 and 3,an increase btw 3 and 9,a decrease btw 9 and 6 etc etc. I observed d variation and saw that this is d pattern in groups of 5s xcluding our 1st term I.e 7. Here is d pattern;

D I D D D. 3,9,6,4,1
I I I D I. 3,7,9,3,5
D D I D D. 4,1,7,6,5

Where I =Increase and D= Decrease.

Note: There is only ONE INCREASE in d first 5 terms and it starts from d 2nd no from left.

For,d 2nd 5 terms,it was alternated so that there would be only ONE DECREASE wich starts from d 2nd no from back.

For d 3rd 5 terms,we had 1 increase also but started from d 3rd term from d front.

Now,to decide what pattern we will av for d 4th 5 terms,it will be 1 decrease(alternation) which will start from d 3rd no from d back.

Therefore,our next pattern is;

I I D I I

Observe also that wen a 5 series ends with a decrease and d nxt starts with an increase,we shall add 2 to continue d nxt but wen a sequence ends with an increase and d nxt starts with a decrease,we shall add 1.

Our new sequence starts with an increase and d 3rd sequence ends with a decrease,so ,our first unknown term =5+2 =7.
For d 2nd term,d only possible increase after 7 is 9 so,our second unknown =9.
Our nxt unknown is a decrease and that is d only decrease in d whole term.Anytime there is just a single decrease or increase,we chose d widest diff possible which is 6 .So,our third unknown term= 9-6= 3.
An increase after a decrease in wich such increase is not d only one in d sequence is a +2. Therefore,our fourth term in d sequence = 3+2=5. D only possible term for our last increase and last term of d unknown is 6 since we av already used a 7 in d sequence.

Therefore the answer for d nxt 5 terms is

7, 9, 3, 5, 6. Q.E.D

^^^ Thank U Tinkybabe,I initially used exactly d same approach as urs where I first converted everything to minutes but got lost somewhere in d middle.It was d "TWICE AS MANY MINUTES PAST 10" part I couldn't decipher....was not sure wich of d times Dlex was referring to.

dlex21: 3) How many minutes is it before 12 noon if nine minutes ago it was twice as many minutes past 10 am?

Let d no of minutes after 10 o'clock = X
Then,9 minutes ago,d time = X-9
By 12 noon, 'X' will be = 120 minutes
Anytime before 12 noon = (120-X)


Since d no of minutes b4 12 was 2wice as many minutes past 10 9 minutes ago,

Therefore, 2(120-X)= (X-9)
240-2X= X-9
3X = 249
X = 249/3
X=83. This means that d time is about 83 minutes past 10 and 83 minutes past 10 is d same thing as 11:23 am(wen u add it up).Current time =11:23 am

Amount of minutes it is b4 12pm= 12:00-11:23
=37 minutes.
Ans = 37 minutes.

Welldone Tinkybabe,U beat me to dis one....U won't believe I spent almost 2hrs on it(*covers face with palms*)...d question was a lil bit ambiguous to me initially....I will try and crack d sequence question now.I'm yet to understand d pattern.

dlex21: 5) What is the longest word in the English language that can be produced from the following set of letters?? Letters may only be used once in the word produced...FEUMOPXCTW...

COMPUTE seems to be d longest.Am I right? I got COMPUTE.

dlex21: @tinky...this is specially 4 u

1) 10, 30, 32, 96, 98, 294, 296, ?, ?...What two numbers should replace the question marks??

2) IK has four times as many as CHUKS, and CHUKS has three times as many as GODS-CHILD. Altogether they have 192. How many has each??

1)888,890

2)God's child =12
Chuks= 36
IK =144.

Solution to others on d way.

dlex21: lure the dragon into the other room

The dragon cannot be lured.

Tinkybabe: Naturalwaves,the riddler!

Tinkybabe,The Maths Aficionado!

A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

dlex21: Took some brain cracking though

Yeah,Expectedly.Welldone.

dlex21: Witness: daughter
Murderer: mother
Who helped: father
Victim: son

Tell ♍ƺ A̶̲̥̅♏ wrong!!!

You are absolutely correct! Nice one.

DICKtator: With these "gbaguans" of yours, I think He would come sooner than expected to save mankind before we are annihilated!!!!

.....lmao

walexydon: nope it didnt make it easier

Okay,I will upload d solution later around evening time.Meanwhile U can try d murder mystery case.

Here is a murder mystery case. Who can solve it? Here it is;


One evening there was a murder in the home of a married couple, their son and daughter. One of these four people murdered one of the others. One of the members of the family witnessed the crime.

The other one helped the murderer.

These are the things we know for sure:

1. The witness and the one who helped the murderer were not of the same sex.

2. The oldest person and the witness were not of the same sex.

3. The youngest person and the victim were not of the same sex.

4. The one who helped the murderer was older than the victim.

5. The father was the oldest member of the family.

6. The murderer was not the youngest member of the family.

Who was the murderer?
Who was d helper?
Who was d witness?
Who was d victim?

Tinkybabe: If this is not a typographical error,my answer is:
'Anyhow' since none of the surgeons got injured,hence no blood exposed.

No,the statement means that,blood must not come in contact with any of d surgeon's skin directly during operation.E.g When a surgeon reverses d gloves that's been used by another surgeon,d blood stained part will be all over his palms.U get? Mind U,it is also medically wrong for a surgeon to use d same surface of glove(that's already blood stained) that's been used by another surgeon on a patient. So,ow can they perform d surgery with just d 2 gloves available while at d same time avoiding these two situations of a sirgeon's palms being directly in contact with blood and 2)using d same blood stained surface on a patient? This should make it easier now. Goodluck!

lastpage: Thank you for the compliment, the pleasure is mine.
I hope we can all come together and put pressure where it is needed otherwise (legislative arm of government), "working environment" is just going to get worse.

Lastpage!

Exactly! U've said it all.
