IHMN #1 - 9:00 PM.
dglove #2 - Nobody came in or out, meaning no people. But an avalanche came in just fine.

Here's an old one:

You walk into a room and the door locks behind you. There are two other doors there. A piece of paper hung on the wall informs you that one of them leads to certain death and the other leads to safety. It also says that there are two computers in the room, one programmed to give true facts, and the other to give lies. It doesn't say which computer is which. You may ask one question to a computer.

How do you escape?

Ask either computer what the other would say to the question, "Which door leads to certain death?" Then, since that will be a lie either way, go through that door.

You take out your GPS and figure it out.

GPS might be able to tell you where you are, but I doubt it knows what a death-trap is. Anyway, MD got it...in reverse. I think he likes sending people to death-traps.

Yeah, I think he meant to say 'go through the other door.'

Hehe.

Raylene got #1 right... The rest are unanswered

(I had to try these out before I went to bed)

IHMN:
#2 is Heroine(s), isn't it? (I would say the "Heroines" but that would make it 8 letters)

#3 is a bomb, the "flaxen" tail is the rope the burns

#4 is a telephone wire perhaps?

IHateMakingNames · 01-14-2004, 11:16 PM

2) No

3) No

4) No

Was I even close? Are you looking for the SPECIFIC answer, or would you take something that is basically the same thing? Just curious... I like riddles and it drives me nuts if I can't figure one out

;; heheh.
