ok, i understand the answer to the monk question, as long as i don't think about it too hard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Well done, Rincewind! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wuhoo!! I had the riddle of the monks correct!! Hurray for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />.

For those who like riddles, you should try net riddle. link => Net riddle

You win all the money if you complete all the riddles, I tell you it is very hard. But still very pleasant. You will need to make an account first, and then you can start to play, I just started again with net riddle, and i'm stuck at 1.3.

If anyone starts with it, good luck

That's a famous one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> There's a variation on it though, which is quite a bit tougher. I'd have to look up the answer myself, cause I've forgotten it and I don't feel like trying to figure it out for myself again. Btw, I never found it myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

So you thought the monks were difficult eh?... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


You are in a room with four people, of which two always lie and two always speak the truth. You have to find out which of the two are the liars, and which are the truth-tellers.

You may ask exactly two questions, each addressed to only one person. They have to be yes-or-no questions. It doesn't matter who you ask your questions to (you may ask the same person two questions if you want), or whether you ask two different questions or twice the same question -- do as you please.

Also, each of these people knows from the others whether they are liars or truth-tellers.


You're not allowed to kill these people out of frustration when you don't find the answer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> (that last sentence is not part of the riddle <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> )

you ask 1 guy if hes a guy
Then you ask the second guy if hes a guy
Then you need one more question <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Whoa, you got it! No wait, you don't.

(For the record: this was not a hint! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> )

I sort of guessed I was wrong <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Don't know that one kejero, and i don't want to think about it for now, still thrilled from the monks riddle. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Playing net riddle i'm stuck on this one:

I own two time pieces. They both serve a special purpose, for one has the least number of parts, while at the same time the other time piece has the most number of parts.

One's for showing the hour, and one's for showing the minutes?

So far it's looking impossible. Two binary questions to provide one of six results?

Ask two of them "Will you answer 'No' to this question?"

Liars will answer "Yes".
Truth-teller's heads will explode trying to answer the question.

Doesn't provide an answer, but it's fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I don't even get the question <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> What's a "time piece"? And is that the full riddle? Cause I'm missing a question mark somewhere <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> And what are "parts"? Did I mention I don't get it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Sorry i forgot to paste the last sentence too, this is the full riddle:

I own two time pieces. They both serve a special purpose, for one has the least number of parts, while at the same time the other time piece has the most number of parts. To continue your so far rather short journey you must tell me the two in that order below.

why don't u make an account too on net riddle and start playing yourself, it's free <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, we can help each other further in the game. the link stands in one of my previous messages.

This riddle is quite literal. A "time piece" is a device used to keep time (eg. a watch or clock). Think of different ways of keeping time. Which one has the least number of moving parts and which has the most?

[color:"#324372"]a grandfather clock and a sundial?[/color]

You've got the second one.

whats a sundial?

@jvb: Een zonnewijzer

@meren: -> [color:"#324372"]probeer eens "sand glass" (zandloper) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Misschien anders vertaald, maar meer "parts" dan al die zandkorrels ga je niet vinden in een "time piece" denk ik <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

(edit: spoiler color <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

I can't read German or Belgian (assuming that's what your writing), but I do know that that's the other answer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What he means to say is: "try 'hourglass' for the time piece with the most pieces." (it's not 'sandglass', Kejero, it's 'hourglass' <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )
