the book says the circle has 2 sides btw the outer, and inner... but tbh its arguable

If that were the case, the triangle would have 6, the square 8, etc.

The book is wrong.

[- English -]

Three Rooms

One day, you woke up in a place you havent seen before. There, you saw three rooms, all bring you to the exit. But, on those rooms, there were notes. It said: 1: room is filled with poison gas 2: room has more than 15 lions that havent eaten for 5 years 3: room is fiiled with snipers that would kill anyone who steps in You have no other choice, but to choose one of the three. Which room would be the way that could get you out without being harmed?

 

[- English -]

What goes up, but at the same time goes down, up to the sky and down to the ground, my present tense and my past tense too, lets go for a ride just me and you...what am i?

Room 2, I suppose lions that haven't eaten in 5 years would be pretty dead

 

[Thorwyn]

I`d chose room 2

The lions should have eaten themselves by now (or they´re in cages, in which case they´re harmless).

Miril´s solution is even better

 

[- English -]

[Miril]

Nah, that was just an easy one
