Anthropic Principle (or Anthropic Coincidences) What do you know about them?

Started by PITT_HAPPENS10 pages

JIA, I have a riddle for you. I have to coins totaling 55 cents and one of them is not a 50 cent piece, what are they?

This is not just a simple riddle but a test in the way you think, I would like you to try and answer this without trying to look it up.

That is a false play on language.

Hey! The first time I heard that one, it stumped me too. So, what are you saying. 😠 😆

I'm saying its perfectly correct grammar to interpret that phrase in a manner in which it would be totally unsolvable.

The "solution" relies on gramatically incorrect interpretation of the sentance.

A better question to test JIA's intelligence in a simple math problem.

2(A+20)/120=(A-9)/2

I just realized there is a spelling error on it.

Corrected:

I have two coins totaling 55 cents and one of them is not a 50 cent piece, what are they?

I know! I know! Teacher! Teacher! Pick me!!!!

being totally unwilling to think it through, I'll fess up to not knowing 😛

PM me if you know or want the answer. This is a test in how JIA does some of his deductive reasoning.

Not really. The solution is grammatically implied actually.

Uh-oh. You're gonna do a "Coulda had a V8" forehead slap when you find out.

Now this...this I'm unwilling to think through. But it looks like the "New Coke" formula.

It's not hard really, just annoying numbers.

In a minute if you want me to.

[edit] I take it back, excellent numbers.
