anyone know any good riddles?

Sure. MODERATE:

I just pulled up to your house in my new car. I walk up to your door, hand you a ruler and tell you to go estiamte the weight of my car.

How do you do it?

NOTES: No, you can't look it up online. No, you can't look at the door jamb, the doors are locked. No, it's not figuring out the spring constant for the axle springs and measuring the deflection. Yes somone actually said this to me.

Well?
 
SIMPLE to MODERATE. matters who you ask. Usually stuimps aot of people even though the solution is simple:

There are threee light switches outside of a closet door. One and only of them turns the light on. You are allowed to open the door once and tell me what switch turns the light on.

hwo do you do it?

NOTES: No, you can't see the light on throguh the cracks on the door edges.

since the word estimate is in bold, I'd think the answer is something like "I estimate your car is heavier than the ruler." wtf is estiamte? 😉

Forgot that note. "How Close?" is a typical question. I usualyl say within 10%. Tehre is a real way to do it. I tested the theory out on my truck.

Way too simple. Did you write it correctly? Open the door, flip the switches on one at a time. When the light goes on, you know which switch does it.

I'd launch it into space, then I'd tell you its weightless!

Wow, a friend of mine just asked me a variation of this like half an hour ago (he's not an AT member).

He said that a friend of his was asked this in a job interview. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

To clarify:

You cannot just open the door and flip the switches to see what happens.

The door is closed and you are outside. Once you open the door you can't mess with the switches anymore.

That is how the riddle is supposed to be done. However, that isn't what was asked above. That is why I asked if he wrote the thing incorrectly.

This one is still quite simple though IF YOU ASSUME THE SWITCHES ARE LABELED ON/OFF CORRECTLY. Turn off all switches and wait a while so that the bulb cools completely. Turn on the left switch for a while (a minute should be plenty). Then turn it off. Immediately turn on the middle switch. Open the door. If the light is on, then the middle switch is the one that controls the light. If the light is off but warm, then the left switch controls the light. If the light is off but cool, then the right switch controls the light.

You left out part of it.

EDIT: Didn't see dullard already addressed it.
 
Ahhh riddles... = fun 🙂

The cyclinder can was a good one. I should have thought of the answer.

So you cannot use the spring constant?... interesting. Because doesn't weight matter by actual material. Can you assume made of all steel and that the steel is not displaced by other materials?
 
there was 2 menz that had sunny beers on in august an one fell down and the other waz standin at the thing with sunglasses. REMBERZ PREERSPECTIVES FOOLZ! I will givez the answerz soon or maybe not cuz I"m a dumbazzz!
