puzzle/riddle thread
 

this thread is for people who have puzzles to share. whoever answers the puzzle or riddle correctly gets to ask the next riddle or puzzle.

Also, please put one hint in invisitext in the puzzle.

At McDonalds, they sell chicken mcnuggets in boxes of 6, 9, and 20 (we're ignoring 4's for now) What is the greatest number which can not be formed using some combination of those?



HINT: it's between 30 and 60

45? Is it my turn now?

i think you meant: "is the answer 45? here is my riddle"
the way it is now is asking for yellings from shiney

if you can demonstrate how you would get the next 6, then you are right. If you can't, then you are wrong.

i am not saying whether the numerical answer you state is right or wrong until you prove it

Well, I wasn't sure if I was correct.

And I don't think I was as I can't figure out the combination for 47....

44 - 20+9+9+6
45 - 9+9+9+9+9
46 - 20+20+6
47 - 9+9+9+20
48 - 9+9+9+9+6+6
49 - 20+20+9

Answer is 43.

Riddle will follow, maybe, but I'll be away for a few hours (Have to leave right now) so someone else can take my place.

Edit: Alrighty, a stupid one...
If you have six men and they each had six baskets. Each basket has six cats inside and each cat has six kittens. Assuming all are whole and healthy, how many legs are there?
Edit again: Oh yeah a hint: Add up the number of cats and people first. It's a stupid hint, but the question is easy.

6 men *6=36 baskets * 6= 216 cats * 6 = 1296 kittens = 1512 felines

6 men = 12 legs
+ 1512 felines = 6048
----------------------
6060 legs


Okay 3 men are driving cross country they stop at a motel. The motel owner says it's $30 a night for one room. Each man pays $10. Later on the hotel owner starts feeling guilty for charging them full price when they all had to share one room, so he gives the bell hop $5 and tells him to take it to the men. The bell hop knowing the men couldn't evenly split the $5 keeps $2 and gives each man $1. Therefore each man paid $9. 9*3=27 plus the $2 the bell hop kept equals 29. What happened to the extra dollar??

Edit:
Hint:This is a problem of a faulty equation. Find the correct equation!

Think of it like this: they have to pay 30$. Each person pays 10$, or 1/3 of the total price of one room. The shopkeeper however, lowers the price to 25$, but the belhop raises it again to 27$ by keeping the two dollars. Now each man has paid 9$, because as stated before, they each paid one third of the total cost of the hotel, which equals 27$, not 30$, so there is in fact no discremenancy whatsoever. *ShaZing*

Okay, you probably already know this one, but here goes: In a kingdom, a peculiar king decides who is guilty in a trial by putting them in an arena with 2 doors: one with a lady, the other with a tiger. If you get the lady, you get to marry her and are set free; if you get the door with the tiger, you are mauled to death. On each door is a sign: The king tells you that one of the signs is a true statement, and the other is a false statement (you do not know which is true or false). The sign on the door to the left says "This room has the lady, the other room contains the tiger." The sign on the door to the right says "One of these rooms has a tiger in it."
WHICH DOOR, SHERLOCK?

hint: Think logically/use deductive reasoning...

Okay, I'm going to take a stab at this.

One of the notes is true. The one on the right says that there is a tiger in one of the rooms. Since this is most definately true then that means the left note is false.

So, basically the right door is the right one to take (No pun intended).

I don't have a riddle, so it's up for grabs if I answered the last one correctly.

Sorry to step out of line on the riddle things, but that answer is incorrect. The problem is not how much the cost of the room is, but accounting for the original $30. So this riddle is still unanswered.

just a little hint. it was never said the kittens were any where near them there for they do not count in the riddle. dont think mathimatically its a RIDDLE thread not a math prob thread.

in other word the anwser is 880 legs. and im tired and in a bad mood so sorry in advance.
