dragonlord Report post Posted October 1, 2005 "If a brick weighs 3 pounds plus half a brick, how much does two bricks weigh?" It would actually cycle forever... 3 pounds + half a brick = 4.5 pounds. But then half of the brick would now be 2.25 pounds. So the brick would weigh 5.25 pounds. But now, half of the brick is 2.625 pounds. So the brick would weigh 5.625 pounds. So on and so forth. 203715[/snapback] BUT YOU DONT DIVIDE THE 4.5!!!!!! ITS ONLY TELLING YOU THAT ONE BRICK EQUALS 3 LBS PLUS ONE HALF OF 3 LBS!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atreyu Report post Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Dragonlord it's a paradox. Get it through your head.. I will find some proof, I swear to God. Already searching for "brick riddles" on google. Answer to my "What am I?" riddle: Nothing. **Just fill in the blanks for each one with "nothing". I'm more powerful than God. Nothing is more powerful. I'm more evil than the devil. Nothing is more evil. The poor have me. They have nothing. The rich need me. There is nothing they need. If you eat me, you'll die. You will die if you don't eat anything. What am I? Nothing.

gilthanas Report post Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) anyways, what is the answer to the 3rd riddle? @ dragonlord, if you meant this definition of paradox a self-contradictory statement that at first seems true then why did you defend it saying that it is true?

Atreyu Report post Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Err I said the answer a few posts back to the What am I riddle.. And dunian I beat you to it, I had answered in my last post on page 3.

dragonlord Report post Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!!! THE FULL MATHEMATICAL ANSWER!!! Just edit some of the numbers like "1" to 3 and you have it... How Heavy is the Brick? Date: 11/15/97 at 02:16:08 From: kylie malligan Subject: Brick The question is, "If a brick weighs a kilogram plus half a brick, how heavy is the brick?" I think that the brick weighs one and a half kilograms, but I'm not sure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 11/25/97 at 11:49:09 From: Doctor Allan Subject: Re: Brick Hi Kylie, You should try to make an equation out of this. What happens if you call the weight of the brick x? You should be able to get the following equation: x = 1 + (1/2)x Do you see why? You just need to find the value of x in order to answer your question.

Dunian Report post Posted October 1, 2005 Here, I'll give an easy one: Three dwarves were arguing about how many friends the fourth dwarf had. Dwarf 1: He has at least 50 friends or more! Dwarf 2: He doesn't have THAT many... Dwarf 3: But he has at least one. If only one of the dwarves is right, how many friends does the fourth dwarf have?
