Puzzle: Resurrection. . . PART I

Good thing I didn\'t send my answers in, or else I would have won.

Troglodyte, I think the problem is that you don\'t give us enough time.  I usually see the thread, look over the puzzles, then say, "Hmmm, these will be fun to do tonight at like 3:00 am."  By the time I start doing them, the contest is already over.  Make each contest like 3 or 4 days long so everyone has a chance to see the puzzles.

And I disagree with the answer to number 10.  
Q: "Two horses were born at the same time, travelled the world, and then died at the same time, but did not live to the same age. How was this possible?

Wrong Answer: "One always walked West, getting younger ; the other always walked East, getting older"


Nomatter which way the horses traveled around the world, their bodies would still age the same.  I can\'t travel around the world backwards and stay 18 forever.  Now for the real answer:  One of the horses would need to get into a jet and fly around the world.  It has been proven that the faster you are moving, the slower time goes, and the slower you age.  Now that brings up another problem though.  If the super speedy horse is younger, then how can it die at the same time as the slower, older horse?  The solution is simple:  The younger horse either got shot or fell out of the jet and died when the older horse died.

I see your point , but for the sake of they puzzle they mean your age based on the days and months, not how old your body is.

Well the contest was open for 2.5[/u] days.  

The other "Puzzle"s were only up for 24 hours, and I had plenty replies from them.

About the horse thing, I was measuring time with the sun, not a watch.  On one horse, lets say it walked as fast the Earth revolved, and always had the sun on its back, never saw the sun set.  The other horse, let\'s say he also walked as fast at the earth revolved, but in the opposite direction.  He\'d see the sun set twice as much as someone who just stayed in the same spot.

You\'re right that in "real" time they aged the same, but to the horses, one never aged a day, and the other aged twice as much, \'cause all they had to go by was the position of the sun.

How\'s that for dodging around an answer?

Anyways, I\'m sorry you thought that 2.5 days wasn\'t long enough to figure out a few simple puzzles. :rolleyes:

well although i came in last i could have gotten some of the eariler ones but i had no idea what they were asking as i had not the time to go back and search the old threads]

oh well it got me thinking though and i needed that

thanks for the game Troglodyte

Yeah.  I haven\'t been in on any of the games yet because I don\'t check in every 4 minutes.  God forbid being gone a day or two from the board and you don\'t get to partake.  

Although I probably only would have gotten a couple anyway.

2.5 days is more than enough time to do the puzzles, but it is not enough time to start doing the puzzles.  Give us a couple days to see that there is a new contest, then give us a couple days to actually do the contest.

Alright, I give in.  I\'m only doing this once more!  And I\'ll give you an entire week to do it.
