    EDIT- 3. Re or Ra. Ra-Hokakhty, "Horus of Horizon" and Atum "All".

    Though, Atum is refered to when talking about the god who created the world out of chaos, i think.

    It's all about frame of reference. You said every sense, so I assumed you meant from the perspective of all time and space. Meaning is solely a function of the people who seek it. The universe doesn't care about it's own meaning and therefore has none.

    There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. Everyone knows what the third one means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.

    What is it?

    Aces, that riddle was tough. I had to think about it for a while and it was just hard to picture. I ran through 3 answers before finally getting it, I think.

    Woops. Using the restrictive 'that' makes your riddle implode. There are, in fact, zero words in "the english language" that end in "gry".

    I think it's usually written:
    'Hungry' and 'Angry' are two words that end in -gry. There are three words in the english language, etc....

    You're playing Russian Roulett. The villian places 2 bullets in adjacent chambers. He spins and shoots first, CLICK. He hands the gun to you and tells you that you can spin the chamber if you want. Should you spin and why?

    I'll take it.

    No. If his shot was empty, there is only one position which would get you in trouble out of 4 possible. You are at a 75% success rate here versus the 66.67% you get from a random spin.

    Obviously, the n00b answer is spin again (Since this is being presented to me as a riddle, the obvious answer is always wrong). The theory behind it being that you're getting 2:1 instead of 3:2. So clearly, it's wrong.

    I suppose you'd go again becuase the bullets are next to each other act as "one chamber" since the second one is sort of neglected (you'll never get to it, since the first bullet is in the way) So it's like you've got 3:1 (3 open spaces and 1 filled out of "4" remaining)

    1) So they can sell more bun packages.

    2) So they can lock the doors when they are closed. Just becuase they claim to be 24 hour gas station does not mean they will never close. Or alter their policy. Or get shut down.

    I didn't have to search for anastrophe but Tiger is when I busted out my google skills. The egyptian one I couldnt find on google so I asked a friend and googled his answers. Fnord's riddle I sorta infered the answer and backed my way into the reasoning. That -gry one I figured was a trick question from the word go so I tried to take it as a trick question. Aces' took me a while.

    Jeff - The monster was a Rancore or something like that.

    You're a genius, Rilla. At first the answer to this question seemed to obviously be the speaker himself, but as I tried to write out the reasoning to this answer in a reply chastising your mistake I realized that I couldn't be right, and then worked my way to your answer. Perhaps you similarly tried to write out something different, as I found it difficult to picture as well.

    It becomes easy once you realize that you can replace the words "my fathers son" with the word "me" in the riddle.

    Yes, my second "answer" was him. That's what I thought the trick was. But I just did a quick doodle to visiualize it since my brain wasn't puttin it together too quickly and I got the right answer.

    I'd spin - the weight of the bullets should mean they have a tendency to be at the bottom.

    Now you see why I'm dropping CS as my major. I've been trying to study for my final for literally 6 hours and learned nothing. And I know close to nothing. I think I need at least an 80 for a C in the class.

    If two identical twins are separated and one is sent away for 10 years at the speed of light time dilation says that in each mans frame of reference the other will appear to have aged more slowly. When the brothers are reunited which one is older?

    3 prisoners are in Jail. They have to past a test. If they got it right, they are free, if they got it wrong they die, if they do not answer, they continue to do there time in jail.

    There is 5 hats, 3 reds, 2 blues.

    The 3 prisoniers are put in line, one behind another. They get there eyes covered, then somebody put a random hat on there head. Then they get there eyes uncovered.

    The last prisonier, seeing the first two in front of him, couldn't know for sure what color was is hat. So he decided not to take a risk and decline to guess. The second prisonier (in the middle) see the guys in front of him and couln't guess it either and didn't try it. The first prisonier in front, very confident, tell that his hat is RED, and got it right.

    HOW?

    Legend my monkey friend, have 4 years of physics taught you nothing?

    Time dialation says: it's physically impossible for somebody (i.e. a body with mass, i.e. one of the twins) to travel at the speed of light.

    So your question isn't even a question, it's a lie

    Now for a real question:

    A gentleman is walking along a road, trying to get home. But oh heavens! he reaches a fork in the road and does not know which is the correct route to take.

    For reasons unexplained he knows that one route leads pleasantly to home, whilst the other - for further unexplained reasons - leads to certain and inescapable doom. However will he get home?

    Fortunately there are two people at the fork - one stood by each road. The troubled gentleman may ask one question to one of them (his choice as to which person he asks). That is to say one question may be asked in total.

    A well placed sign very kindly points out that one of the two people stood at the two roads will always, always, always tell the truth. The other one is a habitual liar and will always speak the opposite of the truth. Alas, the problem is that the sign does not say which of the two people tells the truth and which one always lies.

    Furthermore, the sign states that the two people waiting to answer the traveller's question may only answer yes or no.

    So given this flummoxing situation, what is the question that the person trying to get home should ask to enable him to get where he's going?

    Good luck, answers on a postcard.

    as i understand it, the limits of particle acceleration are being pushed higher and higher all the time. of of these days the speed of light might be a reality

    It's possible to get very close to the speed of light, but never quite reach it (unless you are a massless body)

    Which is the situation Ash meant to speak of, but worded badly

    The solution is to ask one indian to ask the other the question. When he give you the answer, do the opposite.

    If the white feets ask the question to the black feet, the black feet will liet to him. The other way, the black feet will lies to you.
