MA 06-08-2009 09:09 AM

WoF is right.

OddjobAbe 06-08-2009 09:10 AM

Your name

MA 06-08-2009 12:59 PM

correct.

'he' has 1 and a 'person' has 2,
a 'citizen' has 3 and a 'human being' has 4,
a 'personality' has 5 and an 'inhabitant of Earth' has 6.
what am i?

Mojo 06-08-2009 01:11 PM

A vowel.

Mac Sirloin 06-08-2009 02:08 PM

Vowels.

MA 06-09-2009 07:04 AM

so very close and probably possible, but isnt the answer i'm actually looking for.
think along the lines of Charades.

OddjobAbe 06-09-2009 07:34 AM

A syllable. I think, anyway, though I may be wrong.

MA 06-09-2009 08:18 AM

thats the one.
so far;

OddjobAbe: 4
BM: 1
ArtemisPanthar: 3
MA: 4
Kastere: 7
MeechMunchie: 1
Laser: 4
Mojo: 2
Wings of Fire: 1

this one's piss easy;
you have a barrel, filled to the brim with water, which weighs 150 kilos. what can you add to it in order to make it lighter?

OddjobAbe 06-09-2009 08:19 AM

A lamp?

MA 06-09-2009 08:22 AM

sorry, i put the question across the wrong way. i mean lighter in weight.

if that was an intended joke, then i am a dunce. ha.

MeechMunchie 06-09-2009 08:23 AM

This was a while ago, but Mojo was right with 'a hole'.
Has anyone answered Kastere's 'coming with food' puzzle correctly yet? 'tis a hard one that.
Oh, and is the answer to MA's one heat?

MA 06-09-2009 08:25 AM

he hasnt let on yet. i though it was foliage.

That was an intended joke. But let's use "imbecile" rather than "dunce". It makes you feel worse about yourself.

MA 06-09-2009 08:29 AM

good answer MeechMunchie, but the real answer is much simpler.

IMBECILE.
but then i dont get a hat. i may actually suspect myself to be a buffoon.

Air.

MA 06-09-2009 08:44 AM

not the one.

you'll kick yourself when you hear the answer.

Mojo 06-09-2009 10:47 AM

Balloons filled with helium

MA 06-09-2009 10:58 AM

the answer is quite trivial. dont take it too literally when it says to 'add' something.

i am really surprised no one has got it yet, unless they have and are just enjoying the answers coming up.

I'm assuming its a hole?

shaman 06-09-2009 02:29 PM

Fire?

Mojo 06-09-2009 03:25 PM

A comma, somewhere in the 150? either 1,50, or 15,0 kilos?

That example of lateral thinking deserves my rep even though it should be a period.

Mojo 06-10-2009 04:09 AM

Euro FTW :P. He mentioned kilos, and that's metric :p. And most countries that use a period, don't use metric system :P.

MA 06-10-2009 06:31 AM

ArtemisPanther is correct, a hole.
good show Mojo.

this one's easy;

each morning i appear,
to lie at your feet,
all day i will follow,
no matter how fast you run,
yet i nearly perish in the midday sun.
what am i?

OddjobAbe 06-10-2009 06:33 AM

Shadow.

Mac Sirloin 06-10-2009 12:38 PM

What smells like burning plastic if you burn it?

OddjobAbe 06-10-2009 12:40 PM

Plastic.
