---- The ultimate MATH enigma thread! ----

It said right after, meaning after he left the forbidden road thus not breaking any laws?

Nope, the policeman caught him when he is going in the wrong direction.

driving in reverse doesnt make u go in the right direction lol...

+1
Direction is where u advance in a road, not where the head of the car directs

[tedtwilliger]

Well in that case the taxi driver was in an emergency situation where driving in that direction is allowed. Such emergency could be driving away from someone chasing him, etc.

Or the policeman forgot his badge and ID thus has no proof of his authority and cant arrest him. Or the policeman too made a mistake and risks being arrested himself if he arrests the taxi driver.

[NuclearSilo]

Oh really, someone chase him but he stopped a while to chat with the policeman
I've stated that the policeman did well his job, so no such thing as forget ID or card or gun...

I repeat the last time: use only events describe in the riddle, dont imagine and add thing like "wife in hospital, emergency case, bribing..."

[ThiefzV2]

maybe because he was being anal raped by a criminal in the car?

or maybe he was carjacked so the police stopped the vehicle, chat with the taximan, and beat the living shit out of the crook?

[crazyskwrls]

i definitely got the right answer

Enigma #24
Type: Medium

A taxi driver is in a hurry, he goes in a small road in a forbidden direction. But right after, a policeman stopped him. They discuss for a bit and the policeman let him go. How did the taxi driver manage?

(sorry for the English translation, try to understand)

Um..
Is it because the taxi driver was walking?

[NuclearSilo]

Damn, wrong editing...
Enigma #25
Type: Medium

[ThiefzV2]

40?

[NuclearSilo]

no

[Burningwolf]

10?


i know i fail

[ThiefzV2]

no

oops 35

since some of them overlapped

[Asheru]

Bah i got to 35

[ThiefzV2]

*bump*

35 nukelear?

[NuclearSilo]

yes 35

PS: Asheru got the right answer first. U wrote 36 then edited to 35
(yeah, i read it )

[ThiefzV2]

i know, i mistyped it... i fixed it before u revealed the answer.

[Asheru]

ahh nice

[ThiefzV2]

no more?

Enigma #26
Type: Medium

U have 10 bags with n pieces of gold (n>10), each pieces weigh 1g. There is only 1 bag that contains only fake gold pieces which weigh 2g each.
U have a balance. It will shows the weight of the objects put on it.
How to determine the bag contains fake gold, using only 1 time the balance (1 weighing)?

[Nocks]

math for fa-ggits?

Look how many gold pieces are inside both bags

That's the typical reason why the image of the turks turns more and more bad.

yup

haha anyways:

you have bags 1,2,3,4,5...10

take 1 piece out of bag 1, 2 pieces out of bag 2...so on, 10 out of bag 10.

place the pieces from 1,2,3,4,5 on one side
place the pieces from 6,7,8,9,10 on the other side

side one should be 15g and side 2 should be 40g

depending on the deficit of weight you can find the number of fake coins on the scale
eg. if side 2 is 35g heavier than side one, we know there are 10 extra gs of weight meaning 10 fake coins, since we took 10 coins out of bag 10, then bag 10 has the fake coins. and so on for any other combination of deficits

[NuclearSilo]

nope, it's an electronic balance with 1 side only

[sunny rays]

oh well easy then:

just do the same thing and figure out what the weight should be, then find how much the total is overweight and use the same method to find which bag it is.

Q: Where's the father?

whoa, confused here, "has 21 years old more than her son", does this mean she is 21 years older than her son or what, weird English.


and, the question, wheres the father?, are you trying to say, how old is the father or what?

[NuclearSilo]

yes, 21 years older
no, where is the father is asking for his location

[Sylar]

yes, 21 years older
no, where is the father is asking for his location

is there a secret code or so :p ?
