Good job I didn't use riddle 786 then. Keep going, if you must

.

Though I may not be around by the time you finally reach the right riddle.

i will find it, then you'll be sorry, YOU'LL ALL BE SORRY!

Uh, why?

I'm enjoying myself far too much at the moment. Must be how Grimey felt when everyone was trying to get his fish riddle.

And don't mangle cliches. Find the right time and place.

*looks at watch* Still waiting.

Still cold.

At least you've discounted 469 possible answers. *evil laugh*

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:40 pm

About time.

Did I say anything about cash rewards?

I'd give you £99 but...nah! I don't want to do that.

Well done, pk.

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:42 pm

Hmm... I think I'll keep hold of my money.

Want another riddle?

penguin_king · Post by **penguin_king** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:59 pm

no thanks, i'm trying to sort out my msn. i forgot my password and i can't figure out the reset thingy.

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 3:03 pm

It shouldn't be that difficult. Security questions and stuff like that.

Anyway, I'm going now. Good luck with MSN. Talk to you later.

[QUOTE=Ravager]There is a two foot long plastic boat in the bathtub, the boat is filled with metal nuts and bolts. The boat tips over, dumping the contents into the water. With the nuts and bolts in the water, will the water level in the bathtub rise, fall or stay the same as it was when the nuts and bolts were in the boat?[/QUOTE]

You did't actually ask about why, Rav

Yes, but pk already answered the riddle. Well done anyway.

I might have done somewhere.

By all means, Nar, go ahead - tell me why?

Nar · Post by **Nar** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 4:11 am

Because the boat is lighter, so it makes less pressure on the water in the bathtub and when there is less pressure the boat is immersed less, therefore water level is lowered(especially considering small size of nuts and balls).

I must admit, that more difficult than the riddle was translating this ^, because we are not (unfurtunately

) taught physics in English

.

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 4:14 am

Hmm... I'll have to find more scientific riddles

.

The answer I was given: Due to the weight and construction of the nuts and bolts the water level lowers.

Well done, again, Nar. They obviously have good teaching methods where you are...
