General Riddle/Brainteaser Thread

[quote=davidcarl]No new riddle¿ I haven't been here for a month and just about 3 new riddles¿ Fine here's mine. I am one of the 5 survivors in a coalition entering a random town. In the town there were approximately 40 citizens (including us) & it was named C≡N- Hill. 4 of us went camping outside the town after setting up our tents, about 4 kilometers away. While the others are still setting up tents or helping in the construction site. The campsite that was chosen was bad. But since the 4 was exhausted and out of ration, they just tried their best to survive, and improve what they can in the site. Meanwhile at the town, someone died of poisoning. It is now 23:00, the night attack began, the gates have been closed at 22:50. 7 Hours Later, the gate has been opened 216,000 seconds earlier. The 4 who went camping didn't come back at the promised time. They must have been lost at the desert. Q1: What time was the gate opened after the night attack¿ Q2: How many are left of the coalition¿ Q3: What poison did the guy that died of poisoning eat/drink¿[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]1: Midnight 2: I presume 5, since 4 people got lost but are still alive. 4 is also possible, if the person who did not go camping died of poisoning. 3: Took me some googling but it is called Hydrogen Cyanide, or Prussic Acid :P[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]Pretty bad English and hard to understand specially for a riddle.. but I'll try to decipher it. 1. The gate wasn't opened after the attack, the last time it opened was 53h before the attack began. 2. 4, the one staying at in the town got killed with poison. 3. C≡N-H, prussic acid.[/quote]

[quote=davidcarl]Canoas got it all right. CakeIcing only got 2 correct though, almost. Anyways, canoas, that's the point of my riddle. Bad English for confusion, it didn't work on you i guess.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]bad english doesn't really make a riddle better imo[/quote]

[quote=riptide333][quote=Bloofyre] I guess I'll do one... Two men walk into a restaurant. The waiter brings them both beverages. The beverages are the same. One man drinks his glass down right away, and nothing bad happens to him. The other man takes his time and drinks slowly. He dies. Why? [/quote] the waiter gave the first man H2O. then he gave the second man H2O too. chemistry students will get this. :))[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz]Because the guy who drank his beverage fast went to pee, and during his toilet visit a wild cho'gath entered the restaurant... feasting the one who slowly was sipping his beverage.. Riddle solved ! I've actually heard it before so I won't spoil it.[/quote]

[quote=davidcarl]The 1st one recieves water. The 2nd one recieves Hydrogen Peroxide, so he dies.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas][quote=Acid Reigns] Here's a fun math problem N being any number > 2 xN + yN =zN Have fun, and sorry if this drives anyone insane :) [/quote] x = 1 y = 1 z = 2 or x = 1 y = 0 z = 1 or x = 1 y = -1 z = 0 How is that hard?[/quote]

You gave it away by saying H2O Too. I thought "Why not google H2O2?" And there was the answer.[/quote]
