How can you tell what's there? You didn't say there was any light in the room.

[Kamog]

Well, if there is no light, you can tell that the objects are there by touching them, but you won't know that the mirror is a mirror.

[Suicide Junkie]

If there is no air, you will die fefore you can do much of anything.

As a ghost, you can then pass through walls, no problem.

[Ragnarok]

I will simply use my handy communication device (stored in my back pocket) and contact the Enterprise and they will beam me out of the room. Rather simple if you ask me.

A mounted Falconer."

Pretty simple. A falconer is someone who trainers falcons. so you have:

Falcon: 2 wings, 2 eyes, 2 legs.
Person: 2 eyes 2 legs
Horse: 2 eyes, 4 legs

Total: 2 wings, 6 eyes, eight legs. Exactly as asked.

mac, if the mirror is the solid surface of part or all of one of the walls or top or bottom, you simply throw the table through it, then exit.

Phoenix, didn't get the horse.

six answers that fit.

one medal for Kamog,
four medals for Jack,
and,
*gives a medal to Phoenix*

A bit off the beaten path now, but congrats on figure out the riddle I posted.

You would not believe how many people could not figure that out given its obvious 3rd grade solution.

The riddle works to confuse people in much the same way a good illusionist makes you look at the right hand while the left hand conducts the switch.

By placing the thought of ADDING the $2.00 to the total and not subtracting it, the person is led down the path of suggestive thought. They assume that what they have been told is correct and do not question it. Therefore the ingima becames a riddle. Most people that are capable of free independant thought and have even the most basic problem solving skills can solve the riddle in little under five minutes.

I was working as a process tech IV at the time and bidding on a supervisor job when a friend passed the riddle out at the lunch table where 12 people were sitting, including the manager who was responsible for filling the open supervisor position. They all tried to figure the riddle out but could not. I came over to ask how the interviewing process was going, digging for info, and was presented the riddle by one of them. It was so basic to solve that IIRC I did it in less than a minute. I nearly laughed when I was told that they all had been working on it for over half an hour. And these people were all college graduates who thought they were the smartes among the entire work force.

I got the supervisor job.

A woman is sitting in a chinese restaurant, waiting for her meal. Suddenly, a duck comes up to her with a single red rose in it's bill. It drops the rose before her and then says "you are the most beautiful woman on earth, your hair is like sunlight and your eyes are like diamonds."

The woman immediately calls the waiter over, saying "I ordered aromatic duck..."
