Below you will see six glasses. Three of these glasses contain orange. Moving only ONE glass, can you arrange the glasses such that those containing the orange are together?

[weeder]

Of course I can. The orange one on the end, moves left to become #3

You'd have to move two glasses, the end one to #3 and the one that's already #3 elsewhere.

Ahh... I get it. You need to use the word "pour" in your sentence.

[Bruv]

Glasses ?

[Nomad]

I do not have to use the word pour. Move will suffice. So go ahead, finish it off.

All I see is a little red x inside a little white box.

Me? It was Weeder's answer - The orange one on the end, pick it up and pour the contents into #3, then put it back where it came from. One glass only gets moved.

[Bruv]

I see nothing.

[Nomad]

Name an ancient invention, which is still used in some parts of the world today, that allows people to see through walls.

What can this be?

[Bruv]

Windows ?



I can see the glasses now.....still don't know the answer though

[Nomad]

The question is somewhere in the grid.

No cigar ?

[Nomad]

Youre really putting me on the spot. If I give you a cigar someone else will want a washing machine.

[along-for-the-ride]

Okay...I can see the glasses now. I'm thirsty. Let me go get a drink of water and put my thinking cap on.

One philosopher had a clock, which he had forgotten to wind up. He had no other clock, watch, radio, TV, phone or any other device telling the time. So when his clock stopped he went to a friend, stayed there the whole night and when he came home, he knew the right time.

How could he know?

It was his birthday. When he went to visit his friend, he friend gave him a birthday present. It was a watch. He partied at his friends house until late. His friend invited him to spend the night in his guest room since he was a little tipsy. He woke up with the watch on his wrist and went home.

How could he know?


He started the clock. He noted the time as he left the house and the real time when he arrived at his friend's.

He noted the real time when he left his friend's and the alleged time on his clock when he got in.

The difference in duration between the two clocks is the time his walk there and back took. Assuming each way took the same time, halving it is how long it took to walk home. Adding that to the time when he left gives the real time when he arrived back. That's what he sets the house clock to.

What fun is it when you look it up spock?

[spot]

Looking it up wouldn't have been at all fun, it would have been cheating.

[Nomad]

Thats almost word verbatim word as the written answer but ok I trust you.

Good job.

Logical thought, I would assume, tends to run along parallel lines when solving a problem.
