You mean you make funny posts?

Well miaow. That cat scratches

Kieran Child

I'm dead chuffed now.

Another one of these old puzzles being exploited is:

1) Can you link all the dots with 4 straight lines?
2) Can you link all the dots with 3 straight lines?
3) Can you link all the dots with 1 straight line?

Kieran Child

I find the whole thing kinda cute.

Kieran Child

Imagine you're the last guy along. You can't speak because the bobble of cunting silencing is in plain view. So what to do......... Try and communicate the colour of the bobble guy's hat with a complicated series of winks and eyelash flutters like a low-tech Stephen Hawking. Or, you could just mout...

Kieran Child

as of yet, I have never given you up, let you down, run around or deserted you.
I've also never taken my time or said goodbye. But that kinda just makes me seem a bit rude at the end of conversations.

lol. Though maybe this would have been better suited for this forum:

He used the letter 'I' 14 times. That's a fairly big clue that he's talking about himself.

Kieran Child

OK ON THA 7TH U THINK I'M DEAD YET I'M REALLY ALIVE

Kieran Child

your mu.... DAMN THAT JIMMY.

Kieran Child

The wall is pretty well built for a couple of bandits in quick construction. I'm surprised they don't make a legitimate living that way.

Kieran Child

nice idea Gavin, but not the one I was aiming for. If their eyes are at the same level then I don't think it's possible, but you never know.

5 can see the despair in 6's eyes... and the twitch in his nose as an itch develops.... and....

Kieran Child

Many words are anagrams of other words.
But my question is, can you think of a word that's an anagram of itself?
2 possible answers.

Kieran Child

You haven't listed all of the things that 3, 5 and 6 can see.

Also, I must remember to set myself up with a "Bobble of Cunting Silencing".

That actually made me lol, thanks.

Kieran Child

nor do I.
Just imagine your each of the people buried in turn and soon enough you'll get it.

Kieran Child

Nope. One of them knows, within a few moments, the colour of his hat, and is basically certain he's correct.

Oh the hats are stuck onto their heads with no more nails.

Kieran Child

Yeah sure, why not.
They saw the bandits bringing over some bricks and one of them said "my my, that's a lot of bricks" and the other one said "yeah, we're going to need two walls for this one".

Kieran Child

It's not google-able. I made it, so as to give something new to the brigade of people who would think "I know this puzzle and the answer already."

Kieran Child

It is genuine. Kai knows the answer but that's cos I told him.

Kieran Child

I'm scared of bubbles.

Kieran Child

In round 7 he said 'doctered' in said of DOCK-TORE-D.

Frankly I'm surprised the producers didn't take him off the stage and shoot him immediately.

Kieran Child

I asked an American to tell me what 'irony' meant. He looked all smug and said 'ferrous'.

Kieran Child

I don't think people would mind either. Jason is class. I'd love to see his critiques. Also, I found this. Dunno if it would interest Jason.

Kieran Child

on red hot pawn, I'm "doodinthemood"
About 1600 I think. But I haven't played correspondence for yonks. I just used that site for the nifty puzzle forum.

Kieran Child

I'm rated 150. I play on chess.com I was always much more interested in using chess for puzzles though. Here's a few I made http://www.chessvideos.tv/bimg/3bsqei683xkwo.png White mates in 5.

Kieran Child

Was going to say that, but then thought, maybe he means "14 rounds where someone got a max" which is true.

And Phil has done the second numbers.

Kieran Child

Centre of 'eire' is IR = voltage.

If my memory serves me correctly, an ickle year 9 solved that first

Kieran Child

how girl get pragnent?

Kieran Child

Hehe. Thanks guys.
But to be honest, 4 large is the only thing I can do on that show with any decency at the moment, and even with that, I'm not quite up there

Look forward to seing todays show with my parents this evening. Sounds like a goodun.

Kieran Child

Not seen the show yet but looking at the comments on the numbers above, if nobody on the show got it, I wish I'd have been on. Got it in about 7 seconds:
75+9=84
50x3=150
84x150=12,600
12,600+100=12,700
12,700/25=508

Kieran Child

I'm done too, though I appear to be the last one. Will help people in PMs too but I have a tendency not to notice them there

Oh wait, wrong show.

Or is it the wrong show?
"2 large and 4 from the third row" was heard yesterday.

Kieran Child

Ah yes, forgotten about this.

Electrical centre of Ireland = Voltage.

Kieran Child

The fact he's only had two nines so far means he must be 'due' some.
I predict 5 today

Kieran Child

Americans are so cute.

Kieran Child

They say it in America (I assume). It's been on two American 'comedies'. It was also referenced by Ed Byrne.

Kieran Child

The people who say "I saw your face before. It was in the dictionary under 'stupid'"
Use their dictionary. It has pictures. You don't need to know any words.

Kieran Child

Some of you may know the atheist busses: "there probably is no god" And a few of you may know that they were countered with christian busses: "there definitely is a god" And both sides complained to the Advertising Standards Authority accusing the other of incorrect facts. This l...

Susie went "wow" with a boxing glove?

She did if you pressed the red button.

Kieran Child

I'm afraid you lost me at "instead of cumming in kirks face"

Kieran Child

She talked about peeping tom.

Kieran Child

If I knew what chris offered I'd remember.

There was "lettice" and "inport" around then.

Kieran Child

"If anyone is still flipping when it gets to september, then they'll probably just be one of those dodgy apterous users."

Wait until you see what glavanize is scrambled as next.

Kieran Child

I was never going to solve it. Had I been buried by bandits and given a hat like in the following diagram http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2085/sillyb.jpg then asked the question. I would have died of starvation before getting it. And I think that had the other people buried been other forum members...

Kieran Child

Aren't all puzzles 'elitist' in that their aim is to filter off those who can solve it.

Kieran Child

The weird thing is that after the fact interpretation isn't even necessary in this case, because the earth has probably been known to be round for over 3,000 years. The writers of the bible would have quite easily known the earth was round, but they didn't bother saying it.

Kieran Child

Matthew Green wrote:What a lame trick, I'd love to see him do it with the boxing gloved on display throughout.

For the record, the boxing glove could have been on display throughout.

Kieran Child

Point Jon. Damn being used to all those

What he said. Are the clues algebra or substitution?
If A was 3, would AA be 9 or 33?

Kieran Child

quadrahead

Kieran Child

I would guess any form of external help - computers, solvers, other uncreditted people. That sort of thing.
Here is the wikipedia page on aids.

Kieran Child

Yup. Longest to shortest (though not strictly), apart from the first one, which is randomly out of place by being one of the shortest in the book. Also, because the readings mohammed gave were longer, the older he was, the Koran is vaguely reverse chronological. Like the film 'memento'.

Kieran Child

could anyone copy this in? cheers.

Kieran Child

Fun little quiz trivia factoid thing:
The koran's surahs are ordered in which way?

Kieran Child

I'm never much interested in the point. Says it all. Well the point is the least important bit. If all the facts are correct and the argument is logical then the point should follow naturally, and most people would be able to work out the conclusion for themselves. The actual meat of the argument i...

Kieran Child

No Muslim would think that the Koran was compiled by one person, because the story of the compilation of the Koran is known, but every Muslim believes that it is the word of a god. You will not be able to find a Muslim who does not think that Surah 21, Passage 33 has, at some point, been spoken by ...

Indeed.

very much so.

This may have already been solved, but ah well, I just thought about it and it gripped me. The question is: what's the longest word that can be declared in countdown, but never be a max? For instance "dens" will never be a max word because of deans, denes, dunes, snide and nosed. Longest a...

Kieran Child

GAH! I was really hoping for "unairable" to be in. As in "Susie's comment at the start was almost unairable"

No luck though

Chris has been unlucky with so few 9s available so far (maybe 0? I've not checked)

Kieran Child

Nice. hehe. It also leads to another curious bit of religion that there's decent evidence to suggest the initially intended number of the beast was 616 not 666.
