No idea.

Only thing that comes to mind is something along the lines of "Fast track to Success" but that's just a random quote that seems to fit a little bit.

[Ratty]

Hint time, probably.

Two of them are 'good news' stories, one of them is bad. Check the speed at which they are associated with.

[Goto]

This almost certainly isn't the answer, but I felt I had to post it anyway.

“Nothing travels faster than light, with the possible exception of bad news, which follows its own rules”

Anyone who knows who said that is awesome.

[Ratty]

Bad news travels fast. Close enough, goaty. =P

New question when I can be bothered.

I see I lost my half a point...

Ohmagawd, sorry. xD

It's not the first time i've buggered up the scores.

Can you discover the missing number in this series?

42, 6, 33
17, 8, 80
72, 9, 54
61, ?, 34

[Ratty]

Bump much?

[JGJTan]

Woah, if only I actually remembered this thread lol.

Ain't too difficult, the digits add up to be the number... so the missing number is 7.

[Rylkan]

I sort of forgot about it too. ^^;;;

CODE

A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

[Zziggywolf5]

He waits until night and leaves through the magnifying glass room.

[Rylkan]

I agree with Zziggy, BUT for an alternative, I would open both. Now, assuming the two doors are incident with one another, I would have the dragon blow fire in so it can go and enter the magnifying room, where by principles of both refraction and reflection of light, and the properties of solids, wait for the light to be sent BACK to the dragon with enough intensity to kill the dragon, and for the glass to be melted. That way, no matter what the evil insane god who put me in such a situation has chosen next for me, I have again two options to choose from.

And there are other ways that you might be able to kill off the dragon with the other room if they're not incident, but less likely you would make it out of those alive, sadly.

[Zziggywolf5]

You just got to complicated thing, huh?

[Rylkan]

It does make things more fun to think about how to defeat both at once, though.

Although, my way of killing the dragon without incidence is harder to work out. See, if you open that door, some of the intensity will spill into your room, thus heating it. Now, we are talking instant frying. So that is some serious intensity. Now, if we open all the doors and take cover and wait, you may be able to cook that dragon, ESPECIALLY if you get it to use some fire first, increasing the temperature. Now, how to survive yourself is tough. I was thinking of the good old wet your clothes and remain motionless to conserve your energy and wait it out in a corner. But not a very good chance there.

Though, I also was wondering, depending on the properties of that magnifying room, it could hold on to heat a long time, I wonder if it is even safe to go at night.


Just some thoughts.
