The quasi Official "Stump Rilla Thread"

[dalai007]

[quote="Greedo017"]What would you expect to be the major product formed when 2-pentanone is heated with benzaldehyde at 80 degrees in 5% NaOH solution.

This is an aldol condensation reaction. The NaOH deprotonates one of the alpha hydrogens of the pentanone to form the enolate which then adds via nucleophilc attack to the highly electrophilic benzaldehyde to form the beta hydroxy intermediate which then (at 80 C) dehydrates to form the alph/beta ubnsaturated product (a substituted styrene big ugly iupac name which i am too lazy to look up). The tricky part of this is which alpha hydrogen gets deprotonated as there are three on the methyl of the pentanone and 2 on the alpha methylene. My guess is it is the kinetic product (due to the vigorous conditions) so the proton would e predominately from the methyl group. Am I right? Greed?

I just realized that my riddle is indeed flawed! If rilla can figure out how, then I will give him a star.

You can not travel north on the north pole, every point is South, West, or east of every other point.

'Rilla actually hit the answer in his original post - to get the guy to come to the funeral. Even though there is no evidence to suggest he will, as his association could have been work, school, etc, the sister can only associate meeting him with a death event.

The question actually came from a psychiatric evaluation I had to take as part of a job interview process.

They were testing to see if you are a serial killer (I hope you didnt get the answer). I have heard of this question and apparently all serial killers get the answer instantly and since this was 'rillas first thought...

I actually did get it right away - to be honest, I thought it was the pretty logical answer. After answering the woman administering the test told me that we would talk about the answer later. It was later that I found out that indeed if you answer it correctly in under one minute you have characteristics of a mind similar to that of serial killers.

[Yeldud]

Here is another question from the same test - worded differently, but you will get the jist. I did not answer this one correctly.

A person puts your dick and balls in a vice, closes it, and welds it shut. They then put a sharp knife within your reaching distance and proceed to lite the buidling on fire. Do you cut them off and live; or die in the fire?

Discuss.

If you have it, you want to share it, but if you share it, you don't have it. What is it?

Yah, that's wierd. It is the first thing that popped into my head becuase it made the most sense. And once it's in there, it's hard to get out (without mercilessly killing people).

Living is correct, but your reasoning is flawed. Hint - the "text book" answer has to do with your confidence - and nothing to do with vice knowledge or artery/vein knowledge.

Use the knife on a different locale.... you should be dead before the fire gets to you, which would be a horrible way to go IMHO. Though having your manhood clamped in a vise wouldn't be a picnic either.

[Grand_MasterB]

did you say that this balls and knife one was actually from an interview too? that would be the weirdest interview question ever. Imagine if it was a hot chick interviewing you and she starts talking about your dick and balls...oh man interview over!

[boost]

Well, first I'll tell you why I feel its fine but not optimally worded.

It says he stalks to bear but does not say in which direction. I assumed this meant you needed to focus on how a certain color bear moves. Like rivers flow south, this bear moves west. For it to truely be optimally worded, it would have needed to say that the bear moved X miles in X direction so that I would be forced to focus on the movement of the hunter north not as a constraint but as the riddle.

-'rilla

rilla, creative wording makes the riddle more fun. Its like those math problems back in 4th grade that had information that was not needed. Hell I coulda just said This guy walked south then west then north all equal distances and ended up in the same place, where is he? But thats not a fun riddle. And whether he walks off of his original path while stalking the bear or not doesnt matter. As long as he goes north he will end up back at his cabin.

Haha, that is very funny. Personally, that answer didn't enter my mind at all. I assumed that the man must've been married to his sister or something, and she found this out after the funeral. Or she killed her sister for some other reason (her sister inhereted all of her other sister's riches).

I guess normal people think that killing your sister must require some great motive, while sickos like you and Rilla think that its a good way to meet people.

dalai, I actually got this question on my final (it was on an old test), and i got it wrong. i'll figure out the explanation sometime soon, my last final is today.

Yes it was (worded differently), it was part of a Psych. evaluation. The text book answer has nothing to do with using the knife or letting yourself get killed in the fire. The answer they were looking for is that you would never allow yourself to be in a position in which the General was in a vice.

So long as you are on the North Pole, you can not travel North - you are at the furthest point North. For example, if you build a house on the North Pole, all four walls technically point South. In your problem, you have the hunter walking "North" - which is not possible given their location.

the house is on the north pole, so when it says he is returning home he is going north.

In the riddle he travels "due South" first. Once he moves off the North Pole, he can again move North.

(It's not totally clear what "due South" means when you're on the North Pole. I guess it is any direction at all.)

All of those riddles are very clever and keep your head warm in the cold, but this one is actually important, 'Rilla:

What exactly is nog?

And are there any other kinds of nog other than "egg"?

Please be quick, as I have my balls in a vice and can't take them out until I know the answer.

I'm an engineer major, I see this joke on T-shirts all the time.

But for those of you behind the learning curve, here it is:

Girls require time and money,

Girls = Time x Money

Time is money, my friend.

Time = Money

Money is the root of all evil.

Money = (Evil)^.5


Girls = Time x Money
Girls = Money x Money
Girls = (Money)^2
Girls = ((Evil)^.5)^2)
Girls = Evil

Further refined:

Taking square of the sqrt of any non imagninary number will yield a non-negative value or the absolute value.

Girls = ((Evil)^.5)^2
Girls = |Evil|

So, when not dealing in some imaginary plane, Girls are absolute evil.
