I know it's been allowed. If everything that's been allowed was ok, we wouldn't be having this thread.

And once again, it's not my definition of the rules; it's time you realized that.

What is actor/producer/comedian Jerry Seinfeld so obsessed with that, besides him, appears in every single episode of his show "Seinfeld"?

Statue of Liberty
Superman
Donuts
Japanese tourists

i wikied this and saw no mention of this being in every single episode, i used to wach seinfield and i dont recall the recirring theme either

A) Gamow was Russian
B) Gamow's work provided support for the Big Bang theory, but he is nowhere near responsible for it.

You could count him as an American - as that was his adopted country - but in any case still not English.

Anyone care to tell me what I'm supposed to do with this question?

put the correct number. 1, 4, 8, 13, ...
21
18
19
24

1+3=4
4+4=8
8+5=15
15+6=21

But the question should be "What is the next number in the sequence: 1, 4, 8, 13?"

This question is a standard Mensa type IQ test.

Looks similar to the Fibonacci sequence starting from the 8,13,21.

Googled the whole lot and found this: http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/29418.html

LOL It is simple! 1+3, +4, +5, +6, +7 etc so the sequence is 1, 4, 8, 13, 19, 26 etc

Quote: MartinBV - 2010.12.20. 22:54:46

sequence in your explanation is 1,4,8,15 while is his is 1,4,8,13.
I guess your 8+5 should=13 as well?

I understand it is the fibonacci sequence, but the question makes no sense with what you are supposed to do with it. In fact, it's not even a question, it's a command.

It is not a fibonacci sequence

You're supposed to use your Super Chaotic Evaluator powers to reject it.

All numeric riddles are solved with finding the key. In this case number is just too small but it should work on a way that you sum next number in line with number of of letters in same number.

1+ (one- three letters=3) 3=4
4+ (four=4)= 8
8+( eight=5)= 13
13+ (thirteen=8)= 21 etc...

As Friendly cheesse wrote it could be simply addind next number to previous sum, it can have multiple answers.

Fibonacci sequence uses sum of last two numbers to get next one.

In chess, when/how many times can a pawn move more than one square?
On the first move <----------
Always
Never
When three squares+one to the side from another piece

Pawns can always move 2 squares from their starting position.

dark, that is how I remember solving these now. Thanks. I'm now having flashbacks to 6th and 7th grade

to ImLittleJon: I love your reply. It made me snicker.

Quote: dark22 - 2010.12.21. 01:24:58

Thats what the answer means, ANY pawns first move.

1.e4-e5

That is the first move.

2.d4-ed4

That is the second move.
It is not phrased right.

When was Julius Caesar murdered?

44BC <-- marked as correct
45BC
34BC
54BC

I thought that questions about dates were not allowed.

This has happened more than once to me...

The question had to do with "what was budgie..." I answered correctly "Helicopter" but then received this after clicking submit...

Wrong answer! The correct answer is: Greeks

I'm guessing something is picking up my answer (clicked circle) for the next question. It doesn't happen often but it's annoying!

Quote: stekkos - 2010.12.21. 06:28:45

That's not really what the answer says though... Yes, it can be interpreted your way; but Dark is right, the answer should change to "when the pawn is making its first move of the game", or something similar.
