yes i was a bastard and left out an equation i'm sure that made it harder to solve in a traditional sense. i guess you are supposed to have three equations to solve for three variables. but being as it was a riddle, and sort of a poem, things had to fit together a certain way.

This is an abstract one.
Where does 59+1=100?

Easy one :D

Nothing is something. But why?

there are 10 types of people in this world, the ones who dont understand it, the ones that understand it, and the ones that think they understand it then wonder why there's three clauses.

Anyway thats just too easy

wheeler99 · May 08, 2010, 08:27:30 AM

ha, very easy, i've seen it before. xeal just added the extra bit on the end and forgot to change it to 11.

Nah, he probably means the ternary system, I thought my post made it too obvious

zaphod77 · May 08, 2010, 09:25:53 AM

Clincher, is of course correct.

10 being 3 in base 3.

Bah. i need a good riddle.

i'm assuming a non-decimal system is used somewhere, but maybe that's the wrong approach altogether. i really have no idea on this one.

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]"How do you know if you're behind a tree?"[/div]

When it tells you to stop looking up its arse, nosy ****.

Joking. Trees have a rotational symmetry as part of their 3D fractal nature, meaning that they have no back.

jujube · May 08, 2010, 08:49:25 PM

yeah, trees have no back. something tells me there's more to it than that though.

it reminds me of another riddle.

how far can a dog run into the woods?
