During WWI, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland. Nobody from Germany was allowed to enter Switzerland, and nobody from Switzerland was allowed to cross to Germany. A guard comes out of his tower every 3 minutes to see if anyone was trying to cross the bridge. If he saw anyone, he told them to go back. A woman in switzerland desperately needed to get to Germany, but knew it would take her at least 6 minutes to cross. But she managed it fine. How?

Not sure I get this one.

No, now I get it. :D

[Glenn.]

Your google results were obviously too slow kizzy :idc:

[Roy Mars III]

Magic is always the answer

[Benjamin]

Is she not German or Swiss?

[Marsh.]

She is Swiss.

[Benjamin]

It has something to do with the six minutes surely?

[Roy Mars III]

She started to cross the bridge when the guard went into his tower, got halfway across, and when he came back out she started to go back to Switzerland, the guard assumed she was coming from Germany and told her to go back to Germany.

the answer

[Marsh.]

Correct.

Edit - about the six minutes. Roy can just... :idc:

Mr. Black, Mr. Gray, and Mr. White are fighting in a truel. They each get a gun and take turns shooting at each other until only one person is left. Mr. Black, who hits his shot 1/3 of the time, gets to shoot first. Mr. Gray, who hits his shot 2/3 of the time, gets to shoot next, assuming he is still alive. Mr. White, who hits his shot all the time, shoots next, assuming he is also alive. The cycle repeats. If you are Mr. Black, where should you shoot first for the highest chance of survival?

[LemonJam]

...neither of them?

[Shaun]

He'd shoot himself because there's only a 1/3 chance he'll die?

[Benjamin]

Nope.

[Ramsay]

Deliberately miss so that Gray goes for White because White has the biggest chance of getting a shot and then its Black's turn and he has a 1/3 chance of surviving

[Benjamin]

Deliberately miss so that Gray goes for White because White has the biggest chance of getting a shot and then its Black's turn and he has a 1/3 chance of surviving

Pretty much yes, he'd shoot at the ground/in the air.

[Ramsay]

That fried up my brain :laugh:
I only caught on when the end of your question said ''where should he shoot'' instead of who
Although LJ pretty much got it first lol

[Josy]

Anyone got any new riddles?

You approach two talking doors.
One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars.
You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which.
The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth.
You want to go to the City of Truth.
What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth?

[Creggle]

You would ask one of the doors what the the other door would say and then tale the opposite one.

[Benjamin]

What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters taken away and still retain its original pronunciation?

[Marsh.]

You would ask one of the doors what the the other door would say and then tale the opposite one.

What?

[Benjamin]

What?

You would ask one door what the other would say.

So if you asked the lying door (door a) what the truth door (door B) would say the lying door would say the truth door would say A (because he is lying). But if you asked the Truth door what the lying door would say the truth door would say the lying door would tell you to take door A. (he is telling you the truth)

So you would take door B.
