Brain teaser

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Is one of them pregnant?

Are you giving us the whole problem? Is there a bit of background that comes with it. Because a problem with only one sentence allows too much leeway to conjure up any type of solution.

This isn't so much a teaser as a frustration test because there isn't enough info or background to clarify a single answer. Because all the answers already said are solutions to your question, they're just not the one you're looking for. There's something you forgot or aren't telling us to help single out the right answer. As it is we have too many solutions to your problem and not enough brain teasing.

If you want to see a great example of a brain teaser look at zlo's post in the middle of page 5 on Electric Brain's sticky thread "The Comical, Amusing & Nonsensica Threadl"

That took some brain power to find the ONE correct answer possible.

That was silly.

There's only two types of people who play Freelancer:
-Those who think the Sabre is the best ship;
-Those who are wrong.

I know that one. You spell ten with the toothpicks.

I have one for you guys.

You just stole three gold bricks. You're being chased by the law. You get to a bridge, but the bridge can only hold the weight of you and two gold bricks.

You can't leave one behind, and you can't throw one. What do you do?

do you *have* to get across the bridge? why not go some other way.

Post Sat Sep 27, 2003 5:55 am

Smash the officer's brains in with one of gold bricks. Then proceed to take two across then come back for the third.

This is all assuming the person is very strong and can carry all three bricks at a time while running from the law, who fat on donuts must be much slower to not catch him.

As for the bridge not being able to support his weight with three bricks means it's most likely a foot path bridge to merely make crossing a stream easier for normal hikers so he could just wade in the water to the other side.

If all that fails, hire a Leer jet to take you to the other side.

Or just tie your shirt around them and drag them across so as to distribute the weight of the bricks. A shirt will last long enough to do that.

If you want to get technical, gold doesn't come in bricks, they come in bars so the man stole worthless gold decorated building bricks.

If you're a nice guy and don't want to smash the officer's brains in, then leave one brick behind so he will pick it up as evidence and take it to the lab for fingerprinting, and hopefully the lab is on the other side of the bridge and if you're ballsy enough you can go get it. Who would ever think you would hijack evidence from a police lab?

Or you can do what kimk said, find another way.

Or does it all come down to your using the word "You" which implies the reader and I know I have never stolen 3 gold bricks so I wouldn't ever be in that situation, problem solved.

Or is it perhaps the case that I inferred incorrectly being chased by the law meant by an officer. It could be that the "law" chases criminals for criminal acts, but not physically because it is just words on paper, so the culprit could take his time in getting across the bridge without the fear of being chased at that particular moment by officers.

go through the river.

Post Sat Sep 27, 2003 7:51 am

Yes, you have to cross the bridge. There is no other way, you can not leave one behind, you can not kill people, and dragging them across on a shirt will not work because even thought the weight is distrbuted, the entire weight of the bricks and you is still on the bridge. And you can not go though the river as you are...lets say 100 feet up from the river and there are rapids and skarks.

Good guesses however.
