Anyone like riddles? I heard this really good riddle recently

There are of course no solutions to these riddles.

However, you can figure out which boxes to lift by sawing the legs off the table, and then set it on one leg and see which way it tips, moving the leg around until it is balanced. From that you can deduce the distribution of the tools, since they're the only things in the boxes with mass. The nothing and the death in the other boxes don't weigh anything.

How do you saw the legs? You have no tool.

Ahhhh. Youve comitted one if the thre classic blunders of all time. The first, of course, being never get involved in a land war in Asia

Wow, stupidly successful troll by the OP. From the stupid-but-plausible setup, to the useless "hints", to the bogus "solution", this was truly a 10/10 effort.

With a rock. You can sharpen it with another rock.

How so? He made more posts than anyone (wasting his time the most) and just ended up looking like an idiot. Unless you consider him trolling himself?

I have a 3-year-old nephew. His "jokes" follow the format: "what do you call an X with a Y?... A Z!" where X, Y, and Z are all just whatever random object/word happened to pop into his mind ("what do you call a frog with a pencil? A crayon!"). I was reminded of this while reading the thread.

You are correct. This is exactly what LDOPA does to those not familiar with him. He invents a nonsensical "riddle" (it's really just a ridiculous fact pattern with no answer) and then provides misleading "clues" along the way. Eventually after 100 or 120 he makes up an equally nonsensical answer which he will thereafter defend with further nonsensical reasons that will conflict with the original fact pattern. He likes minatours. Technically he's not a troll, he's just a lonely weird bored dude with a low IQ. Feel sorry for him mostly.

He ignores the boxes (which does not "cheat" to find what's under them), leaves the room (which the riddle doesn't forbid like it does living in the room forever) and wanders the maze until he finds a way out (which the riddle says is possible with the tools, but doesn't say is impossible without them) thus escaping, satisfying the requirement of "death or escape."

That solves the riddle TO THE LETTER, buddy. No changing it this time.

But what happens if he encounters a henway whilst happily wandering the maze?

I guess we solved the riddle, but what's a henway though?

about 4-6 pounds.

Technically the table is lifting them... or gravity/inertia... so one of those two must be destroyed

Thank god, it was worth skimming the thread after all, just to participate vicariously in the satisfaction of that long-delayed payoff. Good patience, sir!

Bad move. You really need to stay in character, all you did here was prove him right and disclose your motives.

But I've got a riddle for you - what do you get when you cross a village idiot with a rock that weights less then 60kg but more than 45kg. Then take that thing (Idiot-rock cross thing) and cross it with a chicken who wears pants sometimes but not always? Oh, also the chicken is really dumb but thinks it's a smart chicken, because it sometimes wears pants. The chicken is also terrified of minotaurs due to a seizure it suffered as a chick causing it to lose his beak.

Stumped? Its you, the poster LDOPA. Get it? Hahaha. So good, right? Classic. Obvious when you have the answer. You can use it if you like, it's about you anyway.

I have gone to get my mail on a Sunday when I just didn't get around to it on Sat.

The maid is innocent!
