1 + 1 + 1 = 142
Make the statement true... Keepin in Mind...
x Doing one change (and only one change) to the problem
x Never Changing the =142 Side.
Hint- each single Number is ONE Change (so 23 is two changes .... 2 and 3)
lets see if anyone will get this! No Kanji tricks this time!
I bet it involves the + signs.
Well, maybe...I don't know...

Tingle, if I've learned anything while here at FKL, it's that math is never fun.

1 + 1 + 1x = 142
That x can be anything, thereby making this an operable statement.

I've seen this before but had forgotten the answer.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is 1 + 1 + 12 = 14, but that changes the equals sides... so bleh.
And Meira has it, now that I think about it.

How can you be a male hare and a girl??? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif
And...Do we get another hint?
Sayara
Jun 9, 2004, 11:28 AM
Hmm a Hint... Someone said an answer already.
And it doesnt include X's at all.
Lets go back to 2nd grade math

I seem to remember it involves merging the plus sign with one of the 1s, making one of the 1s into a 4...

turn the second + into a 4 by adding a line.
1 + 141 = 142
ombres
Jun 9, 2004, 11:58 AM
heheheh thanks mix could not get the grab on the anwser till you say that
then 1+1+1=142 become 141+1 = 142 change the first + with the 4 or even puttint a line in the plus to make him a 4.
Nice one go more?
WTF!
I didn't think changing it meant adding something to something that's not even a number!
CURSES!!! I'll get you for this Sonic!!!

Is an Old Hundred Dollar Bill better than a new one?

I dunno in what context you mean, but...
If it's for paying for something, a fairly old bill could work just fine, but wouldn't necessarily be better.
If it's for collector's value, then an old bill would certainly be more valuable than a new one, provided you could prove its authenticity.
If it's for snorting cocaine, you'll want a new one, for certain.
*flies back*
Didn't something happen to the old bill?

Ah, but the older one may have some cocain left over from the last owner, which means you would get more cocain.

I didn't feel like making another thread, so I'll just post a riddle here... an easy one:
A guy is lying in the dessert [the sandy kind], dead. He has a ring on his finger and a backpack on, how did he die?

erm...oops
anyhow, Meira is halfway right, because it's in the dessert! Such as the Saharah dessert, I even put "the sandy kind" to point out the type of dessert I was talking of. OF course, it could have all been in sarcasm >.>

I'm thinking that the ring is from the ripcord, and the backpack is the parachute that failed to open when the ring broke off. *splat.*

That actually happened, once. A helicopter snagged him up while getting water from the lake to douse the fire.

eh, no, there are no malfuntions from any machinery within harm's range.
He died of a heart attack...Or stroke.

you are close, it's the heart attack, but how did it happen, and what is the connection with the finger? Note that their is NO BLOOD despite his finger fell off.
My guess is he was digging around and had leprosy?

Ah, but when Luke's hand was severed there was none.
It is obvious that Vador cut off his finger before using the force to give the man a heart attack.

no, but I'll give you guys a friggen hint. The finger is synthetic, and it still goes along with the riddle's grammar because it is a finger, and it is owned by the guy. It like how the guy had a backpack and ring on his finger, but you never say the two are connected by a string. [see first riddle]

grr... it's not that hard! When you have an amputation, your liable to a blood clot that can give you a heart attack if something is done wrong (and on the rare occasion when it's done right)!!!
