solve the riddle!

[TAKTAK]

Whited out my answer...

Throw it UPWARDS

aye, but SiMs worked aswell, and i didint think of SiMs, it's just the inverse of yours

P.S. i'm not sending you a prize

[SiM]

my answer is correct because it is easier... throwing it up is harder therefore incorrect

[TAKTAK]

ahh but, if there was a stupid gravitational field strength, then when you drop it it would just hit the floor and stop, thus not reversing direction. admittedly, it would be hard to throw it up aswell :S so you still win

but if there was zero gravitational strength then we both lose, but you lose more, because the ball would be lost forever...

It's impossible for me to lose, as i didn't enter an answer

What was your answer then?

[finlay666]

Thats thrust IIRC

Grrr, shush you. Always proving me wrong

my answer was throwing it up, not that it matters now, because that was the original answer

just remembered my manners.. thanks for posting something for us TAKTAK - sadly i got called away from my computer at the vital moment & SiM got there with what i presumed was the right answer. i was going to say throw against a wall.. half a point?

If there was zero gravity, yours would still work if you threw it downwards.

[TAKTAK]

all right then, heres a riddle for you:

The maker does not want it.The buyer does not need it.The user can not see it.What is it?



and:

What 7 letter word becomes longer when the third letter is removed?

[TAKTAK]

here:

You are magically transported by an evil monkey into a room with no doors or windows. All that is in the room are a table and a mirror. What can you do to excape?

[JK Ferret]

No such thing as magic or evil monkeys

[TAKTAK]

No such thing as magic or evil monkeys

I've been swindled

[JK Ferret]

Damn right you have

Here's a couple:

1)

Jim and Katie, who each measure 1m 20cm in height, were playing the school playground at breaktime. Each held one end of a 2m long skipping rope at the same level as the top of their heads. The skipping rope at its lowest point was only 20cm off the ground, so why did Sally find it so hard to jump over the rope and join the game?

2)

Three red guards, three blue guards and three gold bearers carry the gold around the city of Laguna, each marching three feet apart, in the following fashion:

GGB
RRG (not to scale, of course )
BRB

Only one bearer has the gold, and the guards of one colour tell the truth, and the guards of the other colour lie. When asked whether they were within five feet of the gold, the guards answered (in no particular order):

RED: Yes, No, No
BLUE: Yes, No, No

Where was the gold?
