I’ve just had my first puzzle published on Tanga.com. It was an Easy One Word Wonder. Can you figure it out? The solution to this puzzle is a single word. Let me know if you need any help.

Here’s an old, but still tricky question of probability. You will find it discussed many places on the Net, but give yourself some time to think about it before looking elsewhere. Be warned that looking elsewhere may only lead you to differing conclusions anyway… Imagine you are a contestant on a game show. You [...] I just bought this. Can you guess what it is? Earn prestige and honor by flaunting your superior knowledge. Does anybody know what the crayon was used for in the original Dungeons & Dragons set by TSR in 1981? You know, I’m talking about the white, unmarked crayon that came in the little bag of dice. I’ve been wondering about this for 25 years and it’s about time I found out.

It really is amazing. As [...] I’ve come across a thought experiment that SHARPLY divides people. The funny thing is that there is only one right answer. Physics dictates this to be so. Here it is: A plane is standing on a runway that can move (a conveyor belt). The plane moves in one direction, while the conveyor moves [...] It is a mathmatical certainty that at least two people on the Earth have the exact same number of hairs on their body. First find an acceptably larger number. ie.. overestimate. Nobody on Earth is 100 inches (8.3ft) high and nobody is 100 inches around. 100 * 100 = 10,000 square inches of skin.

Here is one that I came across recently on Usenet: The King and the Poison In a far away land, it was known that if you drank poison, the only way to save yourself was to drink a stronger poison, which neutralizes the [...] |
