mike is right, and yes sputnik, i forgot to say you had to do at least one from each trick

well, another one then?

there are 1000 gnomes and a giant. the giant has locked up the gnomes in a cave. he said: i'll let you go one by one in another room. you may not talk and you have to stand in line. you will all get either a red hat or a white hat. when you're in line, i want all red hatwearing gnomes next to eachother and all white heatwearing gnomes next to eachother. so a 1000 gnome long line of first all red hats and then all white, or de other way around. when you enter the room, you have to pick a place in the line and may not change again.
then the giant ties the arms of all gnomes so they can't point where to stand. (these nots can only be untied by the giant)

as already mentioned the gnomes may not talk and have to stand still after they have chosen a spot. how do they solve this problem to get their freedom?

[SeBaS]

if i understood right, the first gnom goes all to the left, the second all to the right and so on till theyre all in the right positon
it would look like this

1,3........4,2

[Sander]

sorry, i forgot to mention that the hats are placed randomly, the order which the gnomes go in room nr 2 is also random

heres an easy 1 from me,in fact very easy.

every1 runs after it and when he gets it he kicks it away

I like the drawn up ones.

I like the drawn up ones.

I will draw you a new one once this one has been solved :thumbsup:

@Sander: I don't really understand this one, could you please make a little drawing to
make it easier to understand?

please don't post any if the old one hasn't been solved.
btw, the answer is "football".

[TAHA95]

oops sorry i didnt knew one was going on and +1

[SeBaS]

mmm i dont really get it  :down: :down:  make a lil drawing like sven says  :biggrin:

[Sander]

okay dudes, but please wait for tomorrow, i've got no time now, i'm going to sleep now

[moby]

i would stand in the middle and make head gestures to each gnome

[SvenF]

okay dudes, but please wait for tomorrow, i've got no time now, i'm going to sleep now

gogo I want to understand how this riddle works  :dontknow:

[Sander]

okay the paint does not really work for me, but i shall explain clearer

room 1: 1000 gnomes are here with either a red or a white head (random) they do not know what they have themselves
the giant pickes randomly a gnome and let's it enter room 2
the gnomes may not talk, point, or make any other attempts for communication (anywhere)
room 2: the gnomes have to stand in line once they enter the room, when they have taken a spot in the line, they may not switch anymore
one half of the line should have all gnomes with the red hats and the other half the ones with the white hats (doesn't matter which side is red or white)

so the question is: explain how the gnomes have to solve this problem
