<insert ebil maniacal laughter here> ^_^ Haha! I'm giving you more work now! So, now... eep What is your name... Pae What is your quest? To do stuff. What is your favorite color? 00CC00 just about Did you recongized the previous three questions? :P How long 'till 9.00? too long you are a prisoner in a foreign land. your fate will be determined by a little game. there are two jars, one with 50 white marbles, and one with 50 black marbles. at this point, you are allowed to redistribute the marbles however you wish (e.g. swap a black marble with a white marble, etc.): the only requirement is that after you are done with the redistribution, every marble must be in one of the two jars. afterwards, both jars will be shaken up, and you will be blindfolded and presented with one of the jars at random. then you pick one marble out of the jar given to you. if the marble you pull out is white, you live; if black, you die. how should you redistribute the marbles to maximize the probability that you live; what is this maximum probability (roughly)? I'd take a folded piece of card board, jam it in the jar, spread it out so that it divided the jar into two sections, scrawl something on one side, pour the white marbles in that side and the black ones the other, then I'd just feel for the scrawled part and pick a marble from the bottom of that section. willywutang is hanging out on a heavily forested island that's really narrow: it's a narrow strip of land that's ten miles long. let's label one end of the strip A, and the other end B. a fire has started at A, and the fire is moving toward B at the rate of 1 mph. at the same time, there's a 2 mph wind blowing in the direction from A toward B. what can willywu do to save himself from burning to death?! assume that willywu can't swim and there are no boats, jetcopters, teleportation devices, etc.. (if he does nothing, willywu will be toast after at most 10 hours, since 10 miles / 1 mph = 10 hours) He learns to become fireproof. You are an archaeologist that has just unearthed a long-sought pair of ancient treasure chests. One chest is plated with silver, and the other is plated with gold. According to legend, one of the two chests is filled with great treasure, whereas the other chest houses a man-eating python that can rip your head off. Faced with a dilemma, you then notice that there are inscriptions on the chests: Silver Chest Gold Chest This chest contains the python. One of these two inscriptions is true. Based on these inscriptions, which chest should you open? Neither, since the inscription on the gold chest would be ironic, while the silver chest could just be lying anyway. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck....shoes... none So, you're a gecko? What about me? What am I? A mage or a Genie? genie-like mage? Take into account, if you say I'm a Genie I'll use a bat to whack your conciousness to China. ^_^ So, that's about it, please don't cry my absence. Yes. I know it's hard. Here, I lend you my shoulder to cry for a bit. *snuggles* .. .... ... ..... ... *nibbles dots* Enough time! Bye bye! *waves*
