 * Train A leaves station 1 at 3:00pm going 4 miles an hour west.
 * Train B leaves station 2 a half hour later going 3 miles an hour east.
 * The stations are 65 miles apart.
 * A fly starts at station 2 at 3:30pm and flies at 5 miles an hour east.
 * The fly continuously flies back and forth between the two trains until it is crushed between the trains.
 * At what time is the fly crushed, and how many miles has it flown?

That is awful, lol. I guess I'll have to figure it out now. Thanks a lot. Bluemilkman 21:48, 9 July 2007 (CEST)


 * There are 45 birds on a wire (long wire I know)

Not sure if this one is a little too hard, but what the heck:
 * If you use a certain formula on 13, you end up with 7. Under the same formula, 2352 becomes 16, 246 becomes 14, 700 turns into 16, and 1030 becomes 14.  What would 9304 become?   [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  00:24, 4 August 2007 (CEST)

And, how 'bout a riddle?
 * Eight and five, last name and given,
 * We are one six six six even;
 * The first in cow, the last in oxen
 * Three in damsel, three in vixen.
 * Question: What are we called?

Fun, huh? *Defiant Elements*  +talk  00:24, 4 August 2007 (CEST)

And, just one more:
 * Add a letter to the following three letters to make a word containing ten letters
 * DIS

I'm surprised it took someone this long to find that. I never said I made them up, and it's nice to have a year's worth of brainteasers without trying that. When I get around to changing them, I'll take them from MindTrap cards. Bluemilkman /Talk To Me 12:39, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

Create the number 64 using first 4 fours, then 3 fours, then 2 fours.

You may use the plus/minus/divide/multiply signs, parentheses, factorials, and the square root. It is tricky with 4 fours, ridiculously easy with 3, and incredibly difficult with 2. Post only if you have all three answers. As an example, here is 19 with 4 fours.

 * 64(4) = 4 * 4 * (√4 + √4), and 64(3) = 4*4*4. Pretty sure you can't do 64(2) without more operators than -,+,/,*,√,,!. - PANIC!  [[Image:Panic_sig4.png|50px|18px]]  sexiness!  07:33, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

 * Wait a minute you didn't say we could use exponents. I sat here for an hour trying to figure that out, and I specifically made myself stay away from exponents. Oh well, I don't know if I would've gotten it anyway. That was a good one. I had the other two, but that one bested me. Thanks. Bluemilkman /Talk To Me 15:46, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

 * Ok, so I was right; you can't do 64(2) with only -,+,/,*,√,,!. Try not to post impossible questions, thanks. - PANIC!  [[Image:Panic_sig4.png|50px|18px]]  sexiness!  15:13, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

 * gj. Heres an easy one: Create the number 24 using the numbers "1", "3", and "5". They can be manipulated in any way u want, however u cannot have powers unless its 3^5 or something similar, but taht uses the numbers 3 and 5. there are two solutions. Ill give the first one: ((1^5)+3)! [[image:IAmJebus_sig2.jpg|19px]] * Jebus  *   Is    I  15:12, 25 July 2008 (EDT)
