Logic, IQ, and Lateral Thinking Problems.

A splinter.

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.

N.B. - The answer to my riddle above was actually MEMBER, which loses the M to become EMBER. "On fire" is two words, so is actually incorrect. Sorry PKMKII.

IS this a crap on there are only three words in 'The English Language', in which case the third word is 'The'.

[Ham Nox]

The English Language

Err, wouldn't the third word be language?

1. The 2. English 3. Language

Everyone uses language every day

[Roland Deschain]

That is correct, Ham. Your go to supply one.

I know that was a poor one. I promise my next one will be better.

Hah. I was gonna answer that, too, but I assumed the other one worked.

[Roland Deschain]

Bonfire is an elegant answer, yes. It also has a related meaning, so is more than acceptable.

and onfire is likely to be a word soon, given that backyard and everyday are now considered words by everyone except me.

Everyday is not a word. Wtf.

Backyard isn't, really, either, and I don't remember if I use it or not.

Ugh.




What does this equation simplify to?

(x - a) * (x - b) * (x - c) * ... * (x - z) = ?

[ET, the Extra Terrestrial]

Zero.

Gimme a minute to come up with something.

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can.
What did the wise man say to them?

[Ubi Dubius]

"Big Brenda has a 2 for 1 special, today only."

[Ubi Dubium]

Nah. He had them trade camels.

[Scott the Pirate]

Damn! I was going to answer that one!

[Ubi Dubium]

Yarrr, too late! But you could ask the next one.

[Scott the Pirate]

I'd have to think of one that won't take forever to post from the phone... am i mistaken or is Zank up there nazi-ing grammar already?

Old habits i guess...
