Before you is a test of 8 riddles, all have been deemed solvable by me. You must try to answer the riddles as best you can. Each of you has given me a correct answer, but I will accept other logical answers. However, the winner of this challenge may not be the one who scores the best on the test; instead, it will be the one whose riddle is the hardest. To clarify, I mean the castaway who submitted the riddle that received the least amount of correct answers will win Immunity. It is possible to tie, and all those who tie for first place will receive Individual Immunity.
You have 48 hours to submit.The Riddle Test wrote:Riddle 1 wrote:
above you see four dwarves. They may not move, nor talk, and unless they scream at the top of their lung what color hat they have, they will be shot. Unfortunately for them, none of them know what hat they were given. They know however that there are 2 black hats and 2 white hats. The wall (between Dwarf A and Dwarf B) isn't transparent or reflective. Also note that while the image doesn't show it well, D can see both dwarves in front of him.
Which one can save himself?Riddle 2 wrote:Picture an empty wine bottle with a cork secured at the top in the usual way. Inside the bottle a metal ring hangs suspended by a string. How is it possible to make the metal ring drop to the bottom of the bottle without touching the ring, the thread, the cork, or the bottle?Riddle 3 wrote:Because you can't smoke an entire cigar, each leaves a discarded cigar butt when finished. A hobo who collects cigar butts can make a fresh cigar to smoke out of every four butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 26 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?Riddle 4 wrote:A man has apparently been murdered inside a windowless room. There is only one entrance. The entrance - a door - has been sealed with duct tape so that if it were to be opened, the duct tape would tear. The door has also had a chain lock applied to it that can only be set from the inside of the room. The room itself is divided into three sections: a bathroom, a closet, and a main bedroom. A floor plan is available here. All possible suspects have been sealed in two rooms in another corridor. The rooms both have one window and one door. The rooms are sealed with duct tape that would tear if the sealed object were to open. Persons A, B, C, D, and E are sealed in room 1. Everyone else has been sealed in room 2. There are nine people in the two rooms. Three other murders have also apparently been committed in other rooms, one body to a room. They have been similarly sealed. The question is this: you have arrived to investigate the murder. You remove the duct tape, which has been untampered, snap the chain, and walk in to the main bedroom. You repair and replace the chain on the door as you walk in, resealing the room. The body is missing. You walk into the bathroom, and the body is not there either. Finally, you check the closet, and the body is not there. Ultimately, this means one thing: the body is no longer in the room. Yet the door had not been opened when you arrived. How did the body escape?Riddle 5 wrote:An old king is about to die and he has no offspring to inherit the crown. So he summons the three wisest men from his kingdom and puts them to a test. He tells them that he is about to put them in a room and have his aide put a hat on each of them. Each hat may or may not have a dot on it, but at least one hat will have a dot. They may not touch the hats, nor communicate in any way. The first one that correctly identifies whether his hat has a dot will become the next king. If he is wrong, or if he breaks the rules, he will be killed. Then he sends all three wise men into the room.
The king then tells his aide to put dotted hats on all three.
A few minutes later one of the wise men returns and announces proudly that he has a dot. How did he know?Riddle 6 wrote:WHAT TEN LETTER WORD:

I can aid you in organizing things.
Sometimes I'm expensive, and other times I'm cheap.
I've been around for as long as you can remember.
