freeztar Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's a whole number. Not 9 though. As a hint, it's not 1, 2, or 3 either. :smilingsun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 How about this one for some funI'm thinking of a number from 1-10What number am I thinking of then? One? :bouquet: When "then"? :smilingsun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeztar Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 All righty thens; what base have you used this time? :bouquet:Â Â When I was formulating it, I considered making it a binary riddle, but thought it might be too obscure for most. So, it's in base 10. Â Remember everyone, it's a riddle so things are not always as they seem. :smilingsun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Remember everyone, it's a riddle so things are not always as they seem. :bouquet:Â Mmmmm...but as a binary riddle the answer can't be a whole number (unless it's zero :smilingsun:), by either common definition of "whole number", so by "not always as they seem" you mean a sneaky snake trick. :D Turtle down!!

freeztar Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 11 ;)Â That's close, in a way. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Mmmmm...but as a binary riddle the answer can't be a whole number (unless it's zero :)) Or 1. ;)But, like I said, this riddle is in base10. by either common definition of "whole number", so by "not always as they seem" you mean a sneaky snake trick. :eek: :D Turtle down!! ;) Well, I'm not sure what exactly a "sneaky snake trick" is but I'll go ahead and say yes. :DI looked up the definition of a whole number just to be sure and of course wiki lists 3 different definitions. So, to avoid the semantics, let's just say "integer" instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REASON Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I still think the answer is -9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I still think the answer is -9. :) Sorry, Reason, I must have missed your post in the flurry. Yes, -9 is the answer. What is assumed to be a hyphen is actually a minus sign. ;) Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ok Here's one I just conjured up. Good luck. I come from blue faces in the depths. In the east they say I came from heaven.I come in many colors. but only two types.If you know the nature of me, you should also know me. What I’m I ?
