Right. Darnit. From 50, two groups of 25. From 25, a group of 12 and a group of 13. From 13, a group of 6 and a group of 7. From 7, a group of 3 and a group of 4. From 4, two of two. From that, two of one.

We're assuming WORST case. If we break into a pile of 12 and a pile of 13, we only need to weigh once to figure out which is the light pile.

A woman has a simple bracelet with seven golden links. She needs to spend some time in a hotel and the clerk has agreed to accept each link as payment for one night's stay. She isn't sure how long she'll be staying, so she only wants to pay one night at a time. Therefore, she must cut her...

A pair of tornados born of mother nature? Or are they born of the same GRANDmother?

You split the 50 into two groups of 25. Weighing one of them tells you which group contains the ligh sack. Split that into a group of 13 and a group of 12. Weighing one of them tells you which it is in. Assume that it is in the 13 group. Split it into a group of 6 and a group of 5. Weigh again...

You turn on one switch and leave it on for two hours. Then you turn it off and turn on another one. You don't do anything to the third. Go into the other room. One buld will be dark but hot. That is the first. Another bulb will be bright. That is the second. The third is of course just off...

I can't see any way to do it in less than 6.

Hence why I gave you the points anyway. I should try to come up with more ambiguous wording for that. I need a more effective way to get people on the wrong track without actually stating the wrong thing. Suggestions?

You were correct on all but the first one. The answer to problem number 1 is "50%" or "1/2". That is, 99 of the flips have already been established as heads. At this point we ask what the odds are that all 100 are heads. The odds are, of course, 1 in 2. I know, that one was kind of dirty. :P...

Well now I know to never get a job. @_@

...challenges the drunk next to him to a mental game. He says, "I've got this penny here - a legitimate, properly printed, balanced, U.S. coin with one side heads and one side tails - and I'll wager you one cent that if I flip it, it will land on heads". The drunk accepts the wager. The...

I WAS choosing not to do it in the absence of a reason to do it AND with the reason not to do it that doing it verges on marking cards, since there is a chance that one could determine which was which even while they were face down (cards being raised slightly off the table, etc.) Now that I...

He is considerably stronger than Thestalos. He just requires a little more work. The thing they're trying to counter in this game is the generally reckless attitude that decks tend to have. You summon your breaker; he smashes a spell or trap; you may get one attack in, and then if you don't...

Fallacy of Straw Man. He suggested flipping a coin to determine which is which. You're attacking the idea of just CHOOSING which is which. There is, of course, a tremendous difference.

??????????????????????????????????? Blatant ignorance of logical facts has no connection with young age. If anything, the opposite is true. People are born with an incredible ability to learn and understand, and it is in the first few years of life that people begin to grasp logic and reasoning...

Descension Factor [Field Spell Card] Any decreases applied by other card effects to the ATK or DEF of any monster or to either player's Life Points will also be applied to all other monsters or the other player. Next Card: Retention Tractor

Your daughter has such a cool name. I wish my parents had named me something less ... normal. You know, it would suit me better if it were, I don't know, the Latin word for "Unusual" or something. Oh, yeah, the topic. Well I don't think I get PBS. I never watch TV unless it's Monk or the...

Question reiterated. I had a flashback in my mind of DJ saying "Reading through some of there interpretaions of what is and isn't logic, I find I don't agree with all of it" and it got me curious to see to what he was referring. I find he never explained. Much curiosity fills my mind. And we...

I sure hope it's only Normal Summon. To a creative thinker, it could mean the difference betweeen a very powerful card and a blatantly and utterly broken one. It is as powerful as the Monarchs just with Normal Summon-only tokens. Give it Special Summon tokens and it will need to be Limited...

LMAO! In a despicable, idiotic, useless kind of unproductive way, that rhyme was hilarious. Not as hilarious as the fact that someone wasted eight seconds of their life coming up with it only to try to hurt another person. But hilarious nonetheless. ._. I should show you the BDC some day...
