once?

 

:confused​

 

Yes, it is.

 

The boy walked in from football, showered, sat down, looked at it, told me how it works then went swimming. Smug little rat.

 

And now that you know how it works, you can trick it. It didn't read my mind correctly at all

 

So, I was duped? I thought it really was psychic. Oh, what a fool I've been. :cry

It's still pretty good, though.

 

I could PM you all the answer --- It's simpler than that.

 

i was either seeing things, or there was a riddle.
how many times can you subtract 5 from 25, was the riddle i saw...

i think.

 

Have you tried the link again? I've checked it and it seems OK.

 

It didn't work for me, and I wasn't trying to dupe it.

 

i think it was a post from red death. either that or im going crazy.
your link is fine though.

 

what was a post from me

 

"I will be boiled in water."

 

you either googled it or found the thread but yes

i like my answer better though i wouldnt say a thing if i dont say naything it cant be judged rofl

 

No, I've heard the riddle before. But I figured it out the first time I heard it, too. Just takes a bit of logic. Also, something very similar happens in one of my favorite movies--The Laberynth.

Your answer works, too! Until they get too impatient, anyway! LOL

I'm still trying to figure out the flash mind reader, though... even with a website that tells how it works, I'm confused!

 

nvm i googled it

 

ok the way i figure the flash mind reader is that its a matter of odds and if you look at the layout of the numbers its set for max possible compatability if i trick it ill let you know...lol scratch that just did rofl

 

It's a simple math formula guys. No matter what number you choose, the correct answer has the same picture you see.

this is an unusual paragraph.i"m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? it looks plain enough youd think nothing was wrong with it!in fact nothing is wrong with it! it is unusual though. study it find anything odd. but if you work at it a bit you might find out! try to do so without any coaching!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you subtract the sum of the two digits from the original number, it will always be a multiple of 9.

 

roflmao Thanks, Collinsl. Just what I needed to kickstart my morning.

Is it that it only contains one letter 'e'? But it might have been more interesting if it contained none at all.

Here's one that's not too difficult.
A man is travelling with his family in a car on a mountain road. He realises that he has got a puncture in one of his tyres and gets out the car to fix it. He removes the punctured tyre and lays the four wheel studs on the ground beside him. As he is carrying the spare to fit on the hub, he kicks the four wheel studs over the mountain side and into the canyon. He looks despairingly as the four wheel studs disappear forever into the ravine which stretches thousands of feet below him. He explains what happened and his wife says, "Don't panic, I know what we can do to get us moving again." Ten minutes later they were mobile again. What did his wife suggest?

 

Depending on how you perceive the question, there could be three possible answers:

1) As many times as you want.

2) Only one time.

3) Five times

Literal, figurative, or linear? Do any apply?

:-D

 

Remove 1 lug nut from the other 3 tires.

 

tux air is wrong
snake is right
yo-yo is right
mississippi river is right

A guy buys something for 30 cents and pays with 2 american coins. One is not a quarter. How is this possible?
