Ok, very simple one, reward is 10ED. (More of a "who posts first").


You know that Umms (found in Felucca) are a real pain, right? Ok, let's say that every day at exactly midnight, an Umm clones itself. Where there first was one umm, there would be now two. I would place just one Umm in a room in Felucca (where only one creature can occupy one tile). I know that on the 17th day, the room would be completely full of Umms.
But what I don't know and want to find out is, on which day should I come there to find the room 50% full?

Yep, but Blaze got it first (very small fonts contain the answer).


Here's one puzzle from +Rayne :)
Let's make it 20ED reward for now, and if nobody guesses I'll increase it.


ok so you were driving this bus and there were 50 kids in the front of the bus and 47 kids to the rear. Now, there was a flat tire on the left back side of the bus. If 20 of those 47 kids sitting in the back were tossed from their seats, hurling them to the front. the collision caused the driver to suffer severe injury and lost an eye. what color eyes do you think the bus driver has?

I wouldn't think he would have coloured eyes but rather than have one coloured eye as it states he had lost an eye and doesn't say he found it.
So he does not have coloured eyes

Dollar was first to answer correctly. Yes it's a kind of trick question, and since you are the driver it's all about what color your eyes are :)

A buddy of mine reminded me of this puzzle, which I haven't heard since Middle School (Junior High for some). Reward starts at 5ED, which will increase if someone doesn't solve it soon.


You're trapped in a cube, 10ft x 10ft x 10ft, with no doors or windows leading out of it. The walls are unbreakable and the only tools you have are a flashlight, a mirror and a chair.

How do you escape?

Last I checked we live in a 3D world: length, width (or depth), height.
