Any help?

Riddle:

These Letters 49 a perfect square :- igiutlbfusmheoyrouevroeusreeudttbrdftyeeo!ihoicr!

Mothman · Post by **Mothman** » 11 Nov 2004, 16:06

this could help

ok, theres 49 letters with a negetave sign before it, so basically all those letters are in some kind of crytology, or code, convert them into decimal and then mayby the number it gives is a perfect square?

po10cy · Post by **po10cy** » 11 Nov 2004, 16:10

okay after i typed all that out i saw the 'bored' bit afterwards so ignore my poste, because mine suggests that there is no letters in the answer at all , eish

Post by **Y0da** » 11 Nov 2004, 16:12

The square root of 49 is 7. Thus if you count seven letters back from the given letters you get the correct letter.

Thanx but thats the part we already figured out. thats the way we got the word bored!!

Post by **Y0da** » 11 Nov 2004, 16:26

If you figured this out you must either be clever or bored!!

Hehe...it'll cost you half that meal.

Dude, very well done!! It took us hours to figure it out, we just got the answer a few minutes before you. but no Streers for me, somebody else got it

Dead men, Dead men swinging in a tree
How many dead men do you see
Tongue gone blue and
face gone grey
watch them as they twist and sway
The first one killed the butcherman
Then cooked him in the frying pan
Served him to his hungry guests
And gave them seconds on request
The next one with a smile and sweets
Stole poor children off the streets
To men who dressed unsavory
He sold them into slavery
Breaking into a home at night
The thief he had a nasty fright
Filled his foolish head with ale
Woke in the morn in the county Jail
The artist with his daunting skills
Tried his hand at painting bills
But caught in rain he was undone
When the ink he used did start to run
With promises of great return
Taking gold he did not earn
Bundled it up out of sight
Quietly slipped off into the night
Three houses into ashes burned
The sheriff with no place to turn
Did spy a stranger to his town
Locked him up and beat him down
Dead men, Dead me swinging in a tree
How many dead men do you see
Six feet long and
Six men wide
Around their necks the noose be tied.

A slightly morbid riddle IMHO, but nicely written though....

Post by **maxxis** » 27 Nov 2004, 12:42

Sounds a lot like something hannibal lector would write.

As lazyonion said its from Silent Hill 2.

NealeDeadlyAlien · Post by **NealeDeadlyAlien** » 27 Nov 2004, 23:57

OFF TOPIC! @ NealeDeadlyAlien

What does it matter wether your HI-FI is old or new?
I use a brand new set of headfones to listen to what my fish are trying to say! But the older ones work better~ They say so!

Dom · Post by **Dom** » 28 Nov 2004, 11:53

Of course the riddle comes from SH2... I wonder why I couldn't recall the room with the 6 hanging corpses? I only played the game last year and all.

This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.

There is a man that lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining!

thanks BigBear!

He could smoke and the smoke detectors could go off!

someidiotsa · Post by **someidiotsa** » 17 Jan 2005, 19:46

I only got one word that is going through my head right now..

The word is = HUH

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 17 Jan 2005, 19:56

Then it would be raining!

He is too short to reach the top floor button but on rainy days he can use his umbrella.

WiK1d · Post by **WiK1d** » 17 Jan 2005, 20:03

Thats good!!!

Rayne · Post by **Rayne** » 17 Jan 2005, 20:04

Maybe he just likes walking the rest of the way.
