Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I’d like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that’ll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)
What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time, the beginning of every end, and the end of every place?
E, it’s a really mean one when delivered verbally
How easy should it be to solve?
My favorite longer puzzle is “there’s a naked man lying dead in a field with a stick in his hand. Asking me only yes/no questions, tell me why he is in the field and how did he die?”
I’m ok with having some hards! It’s a Board Game Society some of them can like a bit of challenge!
Hmmmm Did you have to fight sir?
No :)
Are you waiting for something?
No, I am dead. I can no longer wait :)
Say, dead sir, can you answer yes to a question?
Yes!
Can you be somewhere else?
Time Flies like an Arrow
Fruit Flies like Banana
But there is not like an Answer to find in that
That’s called a “garden path sentence”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence Has more examples.
You are in a room with two doors. Each door has one guard. One door leads to heaven and the other leads to hell. You have to choose one door and once you choose it, you have to go there. Before you choose, you can ask one of the guards one question. One of them always lie and the other always tell the truth. You don’t know which guard is the liar/truth teller and you don’t know which door leads to hell/heaven. What’s the question you ask the guard?
What’s 2+2?
The guard replies either four or something else. You now know which of the guards is the liar and who is the truth teller. You used your one question and still have no clue which door leads to hell and which leads to heaven. You have to guess 😕.
