bah

The best shooter has the best chance of surviving IF he goes first.

If they all go at the same time, there is about a 50% chance that both the best guy and the medium guy will die right off in the first round.

Okay, I'm answring the riddle of the two doors.

Answer(1): You ask a a door - "If I were to ask the other door which door leads to the city of truth, what would he say". You pick the opposite door of what he tells you.
Answer(2): Ask the door - "If I asked you which door leads to the city of truth before, which door would you have told me?" (negative and negative = positive, positive and positive = positive). and you choose the door that it directs you to.

This riddle confuzzled the hell outta me.

Anyway, I've got another...

The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gadsby, walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's

The city of lies would tel you the other door would say the city of lies. The city of truth would tell you the city of lies would say the city of truth. Clever. My answer was a hell of a lot more simle though.

The best guy would shoot at the medium guy, The two others would shoot at the best guy, Best guy dead, And next round the worst guy would shoot at the medium guy. His 1/3 plus the best guys 2/3 equal 3/3. Hes dead, worst guy wins. Am i right? For somereason i think i got how the shooting in the rounds wrong. idk wtf really. How would you tell if he hit his 1/3 chance or his 50% chance or his 2/3 chance? too many unknowns.

bah

It is all knowing, all powerful, and all seeing.
It creates and destroys gods, yet creates nothing.
It can solve and create every problem known and unknown to man.
Yet it is limited to the one who wields it.
It is the most powerful tool man has to use.

Idk think the human mind is all knowing, all powerfull, and all seeing. But thats just me.

And we seem to make more problems than we solve.

Adding that last part gave it away. The answer was our imagination. Our minds are limited, but our imagination is boundless. Good job Mr. no e.
