I had enough of this place.

if this is aimed at me atall, im sorry, i like riddle type things, so i posted some of my own, im very thankfull 2 you for tryin 2 help me fix my comp and stuff when its broken, an ive ive offened u in any was, im sorry

[Fazz]

2 jawfin (rly shud have put all these 2gether)

1. you dont need 2 take any out, u no u have 15 blue socks and 15 green sock, which is 7 pairs of blue, with 1 left, and 7 pairs of green with 1 left, but seemin u no u got them, you dont need 2 take em out 2 prove it, lol

2. the 1 in the middle knows the answer, as he knows that as the person behind him isnt answerin, he must have a different colour hat 2 the guy infront, so say the guy in front has a blue hat, it means hes got a red hat and vise versa

3. they dont meet in the middle

[jawfin]

Sorry for my lack of explanation.
1. You want a pair of socks to wear, you must take them out of the drawer. So how many socks should you take out of the drawer to ensure that you have a matching pair in your hand?

2. Yup correct.

3. The snails do met in the middle in that imagine the sqaure a baseball diamond at the four points of the compass. That is to say, the north snail is looking at the East one, the East snail looking at the South one, the South snail looks at the West one, and the West one looks at North one.
As they all start moving they continually change their direction so that they always looking at the next snail. In this manner they each will describe a spiral path an moving at the same rate, will meet at the center. From when that start moving they will begin to inch off the line thay connects one base to the next. Get 3 mates with you on a base ball field and try it! The question is though, how far do they travel (obviously relative to the size of the square) until they meet.
BTW, is the pitchers mound in the immediate center? And is a baseball diamond a true square? Either way, out snails are on a true square.

I have no clue to home Melissa was reffering to, however hijacking (and it was, unintentionally or not) someones thread deserves a response along those lines.

No I am sure she wasnt referring to you or Darko

I shall relay your message to her Fazz although it migh not be for a few days
edit for clarity she aimed it at hawk I am very sure, as he made an idiotic comment and when she made a clever joke back he go soar

[Fazz]

1. then the answer is 3, cant be asked 2 explain, it just is


and ty for info richard

[Chantelle]

"If it causes just disdain why bother posting."

"U guys are makin' 2 big a deal out of 1 post IMO. Just saying that this trick gets old isn't really that bad that u start a little battle against it Yeesh...
"

"yeah okay maybe they over reacted a little to your post"



Seriously? :-s


This on all serious note why I do not spend alot of time here at all these days. Whether your having a chat or trying to help someone or just making conversational post such as this, there always seems to be someone looking to be rude or have a snipe..

When this is thrown into question either all hell breaks loose or you get a bad reaction like you have to accept it or your in the wrong etc.

I get the feeling some people enjoy the conflict and take every opportunity to post neagtiveley.

As someone above said

If you give it

Take it!!

[Darko]

1. then the answer is 3, cant be asked 2 explain, it just is

So basically you found this riddle while Googling... saw the answer.. posted it here..and cant explain how the answer is 3 because you don't know how to do it either...

omg, its easy 2 know how, its basically the same as the question after it, pick 2 sock, u no u might have a pair, but u cud have 1 of each, so u get another sock out, so then u definatelly have a pair, with 1 sock left over

[saunby]

Yeah but what if you picked out a pair of blue and another seperate blue one?

[jawfin]

Then you still have a pair.
The ans is 3. We don't care what color the pair is, as long as we have pair.
Note; these puzzles are usually just verbal ones, quite simple so solve, but when asked out loud, the usual instant response is something like 16 or 17, but is then solved quite quickly. Just a bit of fun.
I have some seriously complex puzzles if some care for them.
One in particular I had to write a computer progam to solve!

[saunby]

Ohh yeah I get you now, I must have read that late last night and been a bit tired.

It all makes sense to me now

[Fazz]

jawfin, can u send them 2 me plz?

another 1 (i wont take credit for it, but i did solve it, [smily face])

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

Godammit!!!

I heard this just the other day seriously! And I cant remember what the answer was...

I think it was something like agry? I cant remember what it means though.

Either that or I remember something about the "g" "r" and "y" having to be in that order in which case you could have something like energy


I cant really remember though lol

[Darko]

The word is something that everyone uses every day.

Its a trick question theres no real answer, only uncommon and obscure words in the English language end with gry. Most of us have never even heard of them. Thats why this riddle has no answer.

[Fazz]

ok, saun, wtf u on about, compleatly wrong, and darko wrong aswell

[Darko]

Fazz its a known fact this riddle has no answer. If you want me to google it and quote its history for you i will.
Its like, one of the most common riddles, Because you can never get it right.

[Fazz]

erm no... google it if ya want, but i promise (wtf how u spell that) i know the answer

[Darko]

Also wikipedia has this answer in a different wording.

Apart from 'angry' and 'hungry', what other common English word ends in '-gry'?


You are told wrong! There isn't one!

This 'riddle' has been circulating in email for years now, in various forms of words, and had appeared in print media before that. Dictionary and reference departments the world over have been plagued by questions about it. It seems to have originated as a trick question, but the wording has become so garbled in subsequent transmission that it is hard to tell what was originally intended.

The most probable answer is that, in the original wording, the question was phrased something like this:

Think of words ending in -gry. 'Angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language? You use it every day, and if you were listening carefully, I've just told you what it is.

The answer, of course, is 'language' (the third word in 'the English language').

There are several other English words ending in -gry which are listed in the complete Oxford English Dictionary, but none of them could be described as common. They include the trivial oddities un-angry and a-hungry, and

* aggry: aggry beads, according to various 19th-century writers, are coloured glass beads found buried in the ground in parts of Africa.
* begry: a 15th-century spelling of beggary.
* conyngry: a 17th-century spelling of the obsolete word conynger, meaning 'rabbit warren', which survives in old English field names such as 'Conery' and 'Coneygar'.
* gry: the name for a hundredth of an inch in a long-forgotten decimal system of measurement devised by the philosopher John Locke (and presumably pronounced to rhyme with 'cry').
* higry-pigry: an 18th-century rendition of the drug hiera picra.
* iggry: an old army slang word meaning 'hurry up', borrowed from Arabic.
* meagry: a rare obsolete word meaning 'meagre-looking'.
* menagry: an 18th-century spelling of menagerie.
* nangry: a rare 17th-century spelling of angry.
* podagry: a 17th-century spelling of podagra, a medical term for gout.
* puggry: a 19th-century spelling of the Hindi word pagri (in English usually puggaree or puggree), referring either to a turban or to a piece of cloth worn around a sun-helmet.
* skugry: 16th-century spelling of the dialect word scuggery meaning 'secrecy' (the faint echo of 'skulduggery' is quite accidental!).
