[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You are locked inside of a room, the walls, ceiling, and floor are 20 foot thick concrete. There are no doors, windows, trap-doors, or anything. The only other things in the room are an axe and a table. How do you get out?


***Hint: There is no logical answer!***[/font]

you know i dont like these "how many left" riddles because there is always a twist to the answer!
its never a mathematical logic. :confused:

see in this case the real answer would be 2 but i know its not :mad:
ok i will say none are left...... becuse the other 2 flew away?
plz say its rite i was trying to think of a possible twist. ;)

Sr 3washey you were right Masha'Allaah - I was only saying that this answer is more common sense than some of the others, hence it came out quickly! I only added the extra details just to add some meat onto it lol.

Tagrid:
You chop the table into half. 2 halves make a "hole"....there's your exit :)

Re: Tagrid's riddles thread!

zAK, you know that 1/2 + 1/2 = 1.
Therefore 2 halves make a whole i.e. 1.
whole = hole.
Its just playing with words.

Tagrid:
Only one person is going to St. Ives since he only MET all those ppl on the way.
Btw, that halves one is probably one of the oldest ones I know!

it is his nephew
cus ur nephew's dad is the son of your dad. i.e you are his (that man's father) brother and he has a son therefore the son in the photo is your nephew.

however! you stated that he dont have a bro so therefore he must have a half brother for my theory/answer to work.

I agree with Osman, it's his son.
 
Re: Tagrid's riddles thread!

Ohhhh yes yes yes i had to talk it over and out loud....
yes its HIMself he is talking about himself! comeon it has to be ... ok i am getting confused... but i say he is talking about himself
 
Re: Tagrid's riddles thread!

OK lets think about this...
"That man's father is my father's son"

My father's son = himself
so he is the father of the man in the picture.
Must be his son.

Cant be grandad since that would have been something like:
"That man's son is my father"

Half brother?
Hmmm, "my father's son" could refer to a half brother but I think that would still be counted as a brother. It doesnt sound right.
 
Re: Tagrid's riddles thread!

Assalamu'Alaykum

ok lets see break it down.
lets just say/assum the right answer is son.
but it has a flaw.

Firstly though, lets see whats right about it. If its his son in the pic, then the man in the pic father is in fact himself (the man who is looking at the pic). So then he'd basically be saying I am my fathers son, which makes perfect sense in a way.

But the flaw i see in it, is it fails to explain why he said brothers and sisters have i none. If it was his brother in the picture, it couldnt be right either, because his brothers father is his father, but his father is not his fathers son. How could man be his own father? or his own son?, Therefore this answer completely chops a line out of the riddle. :thumbs_up



now let me explain my answer as to why it should be himself. :)



this man's father is my father's son->
this mans father = my father's son
-> substitute son as the answer
(your son)'s father = my father's son
-> since my son's father is me
me = my father's son
-> and my father's son is me (or my brother)
me = me

so the answer is
It's Himself! ......

Assalamu'Alaykum

yes 90% of the time this is the right answer but considering what i said cant be the right answer everone has heard this riddle before, and thats why i am saying it cant be and looking for another altrenative answer. like i said there is a flaw. in the answer being his son. :D so whoever says "Son" is saying this because we were told this was the right answer. but if whoever said its "Son" thorugh reason, i have just proven a flaw.
 
Re: Tagrid's riddles thread!

Asslamu'Alaykum


:) yes ur right u caught me :p i was trying to cause confuion , i dont care for this riddle anymore since i have heard it many times before and the answer is always "Son" so i guess today i refused to accept it as answer.
