Riddles

[pamela]

are we talking whole numbers here, or do we need the master numer-ator Turtle to lead us:D

9

[freeztar]

It's a whole number.

 

Not 9 though.

 

As a hint, it's not 1, 2, or 3 either. :smilingsun:

[Turtle]

How about this one for some fun

I'm thinking of a number from 1-10

What number am I thinking of then?

 

One? :bouquet: When "then"? :smilingsun:

[REASON]

-9

[Turtle]

It's a whole number.

All righty thens; what base have you used this time? :bouquet: :smilingsun:

[pamela]

11 :smilingsun:

[freeztar]

When I was formulating it, I considered making it a binary riddle, but thought it might be too obscure for most. So, it's in base 10.

 

Remember everyone, it's a riddle so things are not always as they seem. :smilingsun:

Mmmmm...but as a binary riddle the answer can't be a whole number (unless it's zero :smilingsun:), by either common definition of "whole number", so by "not always as they seem" you mean a sneaky snake trick. :D Turtle down!!

[freeztar]

11 ;)

 

That's close, in a way. :)

Or 1. ;)

But, like I said, this riddle is in base10.

Well, I'm not sure what exactly a "sneaky snake trick" is but I'll go ahead and say yes. :D

I looked up the definition of a whole number just to be sure and of course wiki lists 3 different definitions. So, to avoid the semantics, let's just say "integer" instead.

[REASON]

I still think the answer is -9.

[freeztar]

I still think the answer is -9.

 

:) Sorry, Reason, I must have missed your post in the flurry.

 

Yes, -9 is the answer. What is assumed to be a hyphen is actually a minus sign. ;)

 

Kudos!

[Thunderbird]

Ok Here's one I just conjured up. Good luck.

 

I come from blue faces in the depths.

In the east they say I came from heaven.

I come in many colors. but only two types.

If you know the nature of me, you should also know me.

 

What I’m I ?

[pamela]

stalactites and stalagmites?

[Thunderbird]

stalactites and stalagmites?

Nope :)

[pamela]

crystals?
