[old.Tohtori]

and you've stayed up all night farting about with matchsticks havent you old bean eh? before you knew it it was 5am and you sat there looking like emmet brown having just discovered the flux capacitor probably yelling "Great Scott!!"


now your work here is done and you can finally get some rest..... but wait, are you sure its right?

Yeah i was up all night and making sure it worked! And see how they disregard my genius work and just go with some silly "it's not actually a shape" thingy?!

The flux capacitor is wo...i mean...my match theory is valid, but people are too narrowminded to think in a multidimensional way! Bah i say! BAH!

 

[Neffneff]

can i write it in a different language?

 

[elisera]

Good question. Yes

 

[tris-]

i just cheated to find the answer.

[elisera]

You never know, it seems people are thinking along the right lines alot quicker for this one that they did for the last one

And shame on you for cheating tris!

[elisera]

selles, french for stool?

The word is specifically Footstool

Very good try though!

 

[Neffneff]

Well its not french, Italian, spanish, dutch, german, purtugeese, russian, greek, binary, or hexadeciaml, i may have to concede soon.

Gratz

There now I will leave you all alone and stop pestering you with nasty puzzles

 

[Neffneff]

i might get withdrawals though

 

[elisera]

Well no matter what I probably won't be on again until tomorrow at the earliest, Monday morning at the latest so you will have to decide between now and then if you want any more.

Glad you like them though.

Given 4 matchsticks of equal length, can you make a triangle and a square at the same time with the resulting shape having less than 7 corners?

Piece of cake. Matchsticks have to be Swan Vestas to work. 1 up each nostril, one in your mouth and one up your arse. Put your head between your legs and look at yourself backwards in the mirror. Not only do you get a square,a triangle and 7 corners, but if you look closely there is a perfect parallelogram too.

 

[Neffneff]

I've got the shakes roll on monday!

 

[elisera]

Just for you Neffneff

In one room there are 3 separate switches that are connected in some order to three light bulbs in a second room which you cannot see into from the 1st room. Is it possible to determine which switches control which lights from visiting each room only once? If so, how? (You may not use a screwdriver or unscrew light bulbs to gather clues).

 

[Thorondorito]

I knew this 1, so to me is an easy answer
