#36300003772 07/21/2006 15:10:19 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought
Sorry Zeac, incorrect.  I am looking for what the number three represented a union of, not what it stands for.

Represented the union of union and diversity.

Finally found the answer here.

Because of multiple conversions of the Greek history, All who posted with worthy answers will receive the info.  Fault equals mine.  Next questions will be more concrete.  Congrats to Regulus and Zeac.
#36300004076 07/22/2006 00:22:15 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought
Regulus post is correct.  0 does mean nothing, as the greeks did not count it as a number.  What I was looking for, was 1 = male and 2 = female.  1 + 2 = 3.  3 being Masculinty.  Male + Female = Masculinity.  So the union of men and women = masculinity.  Reg's link is the same thing, just a different translation.

I decided to go with a riddle this time.  As trivia is just a google away. 

I am alone,
I am bright,
Yet I am surrounded by black.
I am alone,
And I miss my family,
Yet I am surrounded by my Kin.
I am alone,
With no one to talk to,
But humans are all around me.

#36300011141 07/30/2006 13:53:36 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought
Kivo, post your ingame name or send me an e-mail that I can reply to with your info.  Because I don't know where to send it.

New riddle:

We know that Liars always lie about everything, Knights always tell the truth. and Knaves strictly alternate between lying and telling the truth.

Let us define a new category, a Coquin, who is a renegade and will answer the questions any way he sees fit, but taking good care not to be mistaken with a Knight, Knave, or Liar. (Thus, a coquin will never make just one or two statements; he will always make three or more.)

Five workers (a blacksmith, a fisherman, an orange picker and two shepherds) are engaged in conversation. Two of them are Knights, one a Liar, one a Knave, and the other a Coquin. They say:

EIDNAS:
1. The Orange Festival is the most important event of the season.
2. The fisherman is the youngest amongst the five of us.
3. I am the Blacksmith.
4. Vaileres is not the second oldest among us.

GNIDNATS:
1. I am not the orange picker.
2. At least one of Eidnas’ statements is true.
3. Inopmas is not the fisherman.
4. I am not the oldest amongst all the five of us.

INOPMAS:
1. Vaileres is the oldest amongst us.
2. I am the second oldest among us.
3. Picking oranges requires great skill and I do it well.
4. Gnidnats is not a Knave.

PITUSLON:
1. The blacksmith is the third oldest amongst us.
2. Eidnas’ statements are not all false.
3. I am the older of the two shepherds.

VAILERES:
1. I am the oldest amongst the five of us.
2. I am a shepherd.
3. Pituslon’s second statement is true.
4. I am not the fourth youngest amongst all of us.


Determine who are Knights, who is the Liar, who is the Knave and who is the Coquin. What is the job of each person and what is their rank in age?

With answer, please post your in-game name you wish the info to be sent to.

The poor have it.

Sorry guys, I didn't get moved into my new place as fast as I had hoped.  I just got the internet running today.

A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him.
Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?
#36300018562 08/07/2006 10:32:23 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought

The rope isn't tied to anything but the horse so it does not restrain him?

Anyway, you asked what my ingame name was before. You're most likely to find me on Krog.

#36300018691 08/07/2006 12:58:45 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought
Its a really big horse? SMILEY
#36300018714 08/07/2006 13:17:35 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought
Pick a horizontal axis and place the tree at any given point.  The horse is, at the end of his rope, 15 feet to the right of the tree.  The hay lies 25 feet away on a point 10 feet to the left of the tree.

Sorry that I am being slow with riddles right now.  Tis my birthday this weekend and haven't been johnny on the spot.  But here we go, this one is worth the 500K info.  Keep posting on the college one from sureshot thought, I want to know the answerSMILEY

Fingulfin was visiting some friends, and noticed that there were nine children watching television in the basement. As a kindly gesture, he offered to buy them two extra-large pizzas for them to share. The children were overjoyed, because pizza and children go together like rollercoasters and vomit. Fingulfin then made the mistake of asking, "What would you like on your pizza?"

BORIS: I want green olives or black olives, but no pepperoni! NEILDA: I want mushrooms or black olives, but neither green peppers nor onions! CHAUNCEY: I want green olives or green peppers but no mushrooms! JORETTA: I want green peppers or pepperoni but neither black olives nor ham! EDSEL: I want black olives or onions but no green olives! BLANCHE: I want sausage or ham but neither mushrooms nor black olives! ORRIN: I want mushrooms or green peppers but no sausage! NORWOOD: I want pepperoni or onions but neither green olives nor green peppers! ALEJANDRIN: Anything is fine with me. Fingulfin makes the reasonable assumption that if someone says "sausage or pepperoni" that means they would be happy with sausage, pepperoni, or both. He orders two different pizzas, and each child is able to happily eat pieces from at least one of them. What are the toppings on both pizzas?
#36300024489 08/14/2006 18:40:03 Re:Trivial Trials Testing Total Capacity of Thought
first off, skeptic was correct on sureshot's bonus one to my knowledge.

now, for yours:


one pizza had mushrooms, black olives,  and pepperoni, and was enjoyed by Neilda,Joretta,Edsel,Orrin, and Norwood.

the other had Green olives and ham, and was enjoyed by Boris,Chauncey, and Blanche.

Alejandro, of course, couldve picked either, but logic dictates he probably ate from the second one.

i know i didnt have to state which child ate which, but i did anyway so sue me SMILEY

I forgot to post that you needed to show who ate which pizza, so the sue-ing will not be doneSMILEY.
Although, your post here has a flaw, and is infact, incorrect.
