Reply to Weekly Riddle #2 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ok, you guys are all wrong... Go back to the start. What was the chance you had the right door? 1 in 3. In two cases out of three you would have picked a goat. That holds true whatever. Then the host helps you out by showing you that one of the other doors definitely has a goat behind it. So, in fact you should always change your choice to the other door that wasn't opened. That way there's a two in three chance that you win. If you think abou

You've won through to the last round, which is a game of chance. There are three doors - all you have to do is to choose which door you want to open - Door 1, Door 2 or Door 3. Behind one door is a Ferrari. Behind each of the other two is a goat. Let's assume that you are n

As none of you know I LOVE riddles. Because many of you also may like riddles, I have decided to enact a Weekly Riddle Foundation, asking riddles. This is open to everybody. The person to correctly answer first will get a nice pat on the back. So, here's #1: A ship is sailing in the pacific ocean. Over the side of the ship is a rope ladder. Each rung of t

Darn Telemarketers in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My family recieve hundreds and hundreds of telemarketing calls every year (typically 2-3 right during dinner). In order to avoid this, I suggested to my family that we sign up for a national do not call list. Debating that this would be a company which leaked our phone number out to the world, I thoroughly read the privacy policy, and found no such scam. On top of that, the site has a suffix of .gov. After about 15 days, the calls started getting rarer

Reply to .9 (repeating) = 1 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

After thinking about this thread all night long I've come up with the conclusion that the doorknob thing is wrong. "The distance between me and the doorknob can always be cut in half." That statement is completely true, except for the fact that when I'm normally traveling toward the doorknob, I don't cut my distance in half. I travel at a near-constant velocity. If I
