Riddle me this!

The husband? lol :P

Hahaha!

Well I am glad someone answered my riddle! ;)

Okay...

Toss me out of the window,
You'll find a grieving wife,
Pull me back but through the door, and
Watch someone give life!

What am I?


Wow... so far i am clueless... hmm maybe a dog or something? lol :)
 
Nope

Toss me out of the window,
You'll find a grieving wife,
Pull me back but through the door, and
Watch someone give life!

What am I?

Oh! I got it, I think.

The letter n. Window -> widow (what gave it away). Door -> donor (that took some thought).

Ok new one:

The Sultans Choice:

The sultans advisor dies and he has to choose between his two successors.

He invites them into his throne room and when they get there they see two black disks and a white disk on the floor. He blindfolds them and sticks a disk onto each of their backs.

He puts them in a room together and tells them the first one to come out and tell me what disk is on their own back is going to be my new advisor, and their first job will be to execute the one who failed. If you come out and get it wrong then the oposite will happen where he who comes out will be executed.

After a minute one comes running out and shouts I have a black disk on my back.

How did he know?


Edit (Incase someone doesn't read my post below): Both candidates did in fact have black disks on their backs so the one who came out was correct.

It seems that there are 3 disks but 2 candidates...If one saw the white disk still on the floor, since there are 2 black disks, he knows that one is in his pack, and the other is in the other candidates' pack...

A good point but due to my bad explanations it's not correct.

  • Both candidates were blindfolded until they entered the room
  • The one who didn't come out had a black disk on their back too
 
well the probability of having a black disk is twice as high as a white disk so it's more likely that you'd have a black disk than a white.

Would you risk your life on a probability?

That's not the answer

I always thought the answer was a bit risky but the guy who comes out is sure of what colour he has.
 
What cannot be used until broken?

An Egg?

I have an old one if that's right.

correct :-S
Scarecrow, what's up with the :-S face? :P

Well I would have answered it as a walnut/peanut (anything with shells) lol.

If the probability is 99.99% ;) I would have really bad luck if I die because of the 0.01%

Is the room crowded with a full audience? Maybe he heard someone saying it? lol

Most safety critical aircraft hardware has a probability of 10^-9 of failing per hour. That's one-in-a-billion. Aircraft still crash.

And they're alone in the room. :p
