Riddle 16
One morning as Paul was getting his newspaper, he noticed on his new house something that needed to be fixed. Heading over to the hardware store, he spoke to the manager, describing his problem. The manager said, "I know just what you need". He led Paul down some aisles and stopped in front of some bins. Digging down into some of the bins, he set something up on the shelf. "I saw your house when it was built", the manager said. "Here's all that you'll need and how much it'll cost... five will be 15 cents while fifty will be 30 cents, 250 will be 45 cents, while 2507 will only cost you 60 cents. One lady, about 20 blocks from your house, bought 30247 and only paid 75 cents! These are black, but they also come in gold and silver." What was the manager selling?

Btw.....no one got the husband dead riddle yet?......I knew this since middle school.....

I have no freaking clue!!!!!! LOL t: Good riddle.

EDIT: Ohhhhh house numbers, well done Halcohol, that's great! I still don't know the elevator one lol. t:

All the bags have the same amount of coins. As many coins as you want.

Do I have a lead penny to measure, or a gold penny?

I would measure a lead penny, and times it by the number of coins in the bag. Any bag with a different weight is the gold one.

Whoa, was this one answered? You guys can't post anymore until the other ones are solved.

A bird watcher by day and museum watcher at night, Joe is sent to jail when one of his guarding artifacts go missing. The owner of the museum was furious. The reporters found it funny and a crazy man, obsessed with patterns, watched as Joe was being taken away. It is a shiny necklace that had gone missing. A jeweler down the street watched with thoughtfully. A butcher down the road was laughing at Joe. Joe was not the culprit but he know who it was. The culprit attacked him and took the necklace. When his Lawyer showed up, Joe's throat was so cut up he couldn't talk. He sat across from his lawyer with a pen and pencil and wrote down the culprit. 7MO. Who did it?

Riddle #15:

You're in a room filled with sacks. As many sacks as you like. Each sack is filled with the same number of coins. As many coins as you like. In one sack the coins are made of solid gold. All the other sacks are filled with coins made of lead.

The gold and lead coins look exactly the same and all the coins are the exact same size. The only difference is that gold and lead coins don't weigh the same.

There is a penny scale in the room, but you only have one penny. How do you find the bag with the gold coins?

Put one on, place the other on at the same time, then remove the first one. Repeat. The lightest bag is the bag of gold. This way, the weight never fully leaves the scale and it never requires another penny due to deactivation.

I would measure a lead penny, and times it by the number of coins in the bag. Any bag with a different weight is the gold one.

The penny is just a regular penny so the scale will work. A penny scale is like a vending machine. You put a penny in, it weighs what's on the scale, and prints out the weight on a piece of paper.

answer to elevator one

Spoiler

her husband is on life support and the power to the elevator light was off.....no power....no life support.....

 

[Spider-Fan]

Guys, post no more, we still have a few unsolved ones.

 

[wiegeabo]

Put one on, place the other on at the same time, then remove the first one. Repeat. The lightest bag is the bag of gold. This way, the weight never fully leaves the scale and it never requires another penny due to deactivation.

Once you put the penny it, it weighs what's on the scale and prints it out. You only get one weighing.

 

[wiegeabo]

Guys, post no more, we still have a few unsolved ones.

Which one's are open?


And I forgot, we need to wait until the riddle owner tells us an answer is correct.

It'll take a while for us to get into a rhythm, then things will calm down.

answer to elevator one

Spoiler

her husband is on life support and the power to the elevator light was off.....no power....no life support.....

Oh wow! That's excellent! That's so hard to guess though. I guess it would have been easier if you said the elevator wasn't working. But hey, that's a brain teaser. t: Well done!

 

[Spider-Fan]

We still have the mueseum one, and was the elevator one solved?

 

[Carcharodon]

Once you put the penny it, it weighs what's on the scale and prints it out. You only get one weighing.

...use the penny to scratch the gold paint off the lead coins?

 

[batman11]

We still have the mueseum one, and was the elevator one solved?

Yeah the elevator was solved. See like 2 posts above, it was spoiler tagged.

 

[wiegeabo]

And my penny scale one. D'oh, I thought the elevator one had been declared solved.

 

[TNC9852002]

The elevator one is solved. We need to get to the one about the museum theft. I don't think I've ever seen that one.

[wiegeabo]

...use the penny to scratch the gold paint off the lead coins?

Heh. Not bad. I guess I shouldn't have used lead. Let me change that since it's really not part of the brain teaser.

The attacker was a 7 month old bird, maybe?

 

[TNC9852002]

OWL = 7MO!!

[Halcohol]

Owl!!

Niiiiice.

 

[batman11]

Owl!!

-TNC

It would make sense. Owls are NIGHT birds. So he wasn't watching them.

 

[TNC9852002]

Not yet. Assuming Owl is right for the museum one, I think it's the only open riddle.

Oh yeah, the lifesupport one needs to be confirmed.
