Sven's Official BrainTeaser Thread !! and Sander.

Well done, guys! I'm guessing you used some kind of calculator?

I'ma take Sputnik's as an example:

100/(100/8+100/6-100/4)=100/(100(3/24+4/24-6/24))=1/((3+4-6)/24)=24/(3+4-6)=24

This only proves 0.999...=1 :banana:

Eventhough you calculated it, I'm going to show you guys how I did.

V = volume, t = time

t(V/8+V/6-V/4)=V

where V/8, V/6 and V/4 just calculates how much volume/minute the different pipes can pour/drain.
Doing the equation should give you t = 24.

If someone has a brainteaser, post it. If not, I can post another one.

VG; You'd also get 24 minutes exact if you hadn't rounded off too early.

okay, now one by me again.

Adi is on the 22th floor leaning on a window. Suddenly the glass breaks and Adi falls through the window. Miraculously Adi is unhurt. There was nothing that could catch Adi or make his fall slow down. How come?

[Onas]

Your an inmate in a prison your planing an escape, there is only one entrance and one exit and its the bridge that takes you to the mainland (Freedom), it takes 45 minutes to cross the bridge. You are only allowed to exit or enter the prison through this bridge if you have a special pass. There is a guards room located exactly in the middle of the bridge. The guards will send back to where you came from if they catch you trying to cross without a special pass. Fortunately they are playing a game of Chess and will only look up to see if any one is crossing the bridge every 22 minutes, they look at the whole bridge and then they go back to the game. You do not have a pass, how do you make it off the prison.





Remember even if you run your fastest you can't make it in under 45 minutes and there is no where to hide on the bridge.

Also no hanging off the bridge, no jumping off and swimming to safety, no killing or bribing the guards if they discover you and all other types of shenanigans.

Hope you understand I tried to make it as understandable as possible.   

Lol, u have internet in the prison?  :lol:

because theres nothing between the 22nd floor and the ground

@ lis: there is nothing that can slow his fall down.
@ sputnik: it's a normal flat so there are at least 22 normal levels (i just picked 22 as a random number, it is not essential for the riddle)

[Mike]

Define "something that can catch him". I'm guessing a balcony is a catcher and thus not the answer to this question. The ground could be a catcher as well, you know. By catcher you mean there is nothing that he hits before he hits the ground?

Maybe the looser had a window inside his apartment and he simply fell through that one and on to the floor.

lol. yea,  my bad. didnt think it would b that easy.
ill leave it 2 the pros :P

[Sander]

off course he falls on something, he can't fall forever, but i just meant there's no cushions on the ground or bungee or parachute etc.
and he doesn't fall through a window inside the building, it's really a window where you can see outside through

[Mike]

I don't know the answer, but I do wanna know it. Not knowing is annoying :boxing: . It seems like no one's gonna break it, so either you give a hint or you just spoil it now, biatch.

[Gustav]

a pool maybe ?

[sputnik]

question seems a bit vague. for instance a perfect answer is, hes superman. or something gay that isnt the right answer.
