Alright guys this is something I've been tossing around and decided I want to do it.
Rules:
Whoever wins has to be willing to do the same thing. If you win you will be the next contest holder. So please participate only if your willing to hold another contest.
The contest holder can decide on what their contest is. Example: a riddle, or a number btwn 1-100. Feel free to get creative.
If issues come up new rules will be placed to accommodate the issues. I would like a couple reasonable people to help me with these if they should happen.
Time limit will be 24 hours. If no one guesses the correct answer it will go to the closest contestant.
1 guess per person.
The previous contest holder cannot participate in the next contest. The current contest holder will pm the last contest holder the answer so there are no discrepancies.
PRIZES- must be worth a total value of $5 or more. It would be unfair to get $20 worth of cards and then offer up $2 worth of cards. The prize will be 5 RARES and a possibility of a mythic.
My turn will be rather simple. I want to see if this game gets some traction before it gets more complicated.
Ok so here's my turn....
I'm thinking of a number between 1-100.
42? Also, I vote this moved to the Art section.

Incorrect. Art section? Why the art section?
And will the winner get rares or something? Also, because it just seems like a contest like this could be very artsy. I dunno.

Yes the winner will receive 5 rares with a possibility of a mythic or 2. I could see it in the arts forum, I actually didn't know where to put it originally but figured it'd get moved here if I posted it anywhere else lol.
I am going with 13:)
I will say 3. Cause I always say 3.
11

Three, is the magic number
I like it being in this category because contests are meant to be fun
69
My gf says 23
Well that was silly cause I'm pretty sure it's three.

And-or Borderlands, which of course derived the achievement name from Spinal Tap, lol.
No one as of yet. Maybe next time it should be a little more of a mind game? A riddle or a magic puzzle or what card am I?
And how does everyone feel about the prize. Should it be a mystery or should I post it?
50
Mystery!
I'm torn on whether I should post it or not. One side of me thinks I should bc my prize is pretty excellent but the other side thinks the mystery of it will be more fun.
Post the prize after someone wins it
I will be announcing a winner soon since I won't be on when the time limit is up.
Anyone else willing to get in on this please post a number soon.

Thanks for playing and I look forward to your contest double-o-scotch!
Quote from: Taysby on July 24, 2013, 12:22:41 AM
This is going to be an awesome thread with prizes that big.
Please note that min prize value is $5. We could make it $10 if that's what the majority wants. Not everyone can afford to do this, especially if the prizes are this size. I want to point out that this isn't where the bar is set. Double-o-scotch just got lucky he won my kick off contest.
INDIVIDUAL card price or TOTAL?
Have fun double-o-scotch in hosting the next contest. Good luck to everybody in that contests that follow! :)

Total. It'd get pricey otherwise.
I can't accept this victory. It's not fair. I was just as wrong as everyone else. I thought for sure it was three. Confidant. I was wrong. Wrong. I gotta think about this. It had to be three but it was 5?! What is wrong with the world? With me? With 3? I'm out.

Well...I didn't expect that. Would you prefer I come up with a riddle instead? It would be alot easier to pick a clear cut winner. The same cards will be the prize.
872?
Ok since that didn't go over well ill restart with a riddle. I'm not very good at this but I gave it a shot. Here we go.
I am but a man.
But I'm more then a man.
There are many like me.
But not quite as earthly.
Guess if you will, who I may be.
What i see in my mind I bring to reality.
Jace?
Magician??? :P but I think jace is right.

Brain, tree, :P

Ding ding ding. We have a winner! Wasn't it easy though once your mind went in that direction? Idk how you guessed batman first tho....lol pm me your address so I can mail out your prize. Start coming up with a contest of your own. I'm interested to see how this turns out :)
Buck Futter!
I wanted that doubling season
No you don't. It's a horrible card. Wouldn't work very well with scion either. Yup bad card, forget about it...lol
I'm working on cutting W/B out and running dragon token pumpers
The irony of all of this is I have been wearing a green lantern shirt all day. Didn't cross my mind once that that was the answer.
So it wasn't me after all! It was you!
I thought {doubling season} wasn't reprinted because of planeswalkers
Give me a bit to come up with something. Not gonna be a riddle, but I'm gonna look for something unGooglable.
I'm gonna post my contest. But, I'm gonna suggest that, just like the riddle game, the previous person can't participate, and that the current person should PM the previous with their answer. With that said, here it is:
I'm looking for the nearest WHOLE number. Be sure to pay specific attention to the wordings. You must show what numbers you used. There will be no other hints given. Prizes tbd.
12000th prime number * number of US states / total magic cards(not counting basic lands) / number of boroughs in Alaska * number of levels in Super Mario Bros. + number of counties in Louisiana = ???

Questions - which Mario there is many and what's a borough
Every time I see a math problem I see...if you had 11 icecubes and 6 Jell-O shots how many gallons of grapefruit does it take to paint the roof?
The answer: purple because everyone knows aliens don't wear hats!
Quote from: BcBudds on July 25, 2013, 08:26:36 PM

But there is only one Super Mario Bros. As for borough's, well, Google is on your side.
Time is almost up... no one?
24 hrs is up. Do I post the answer?
Quote from: prayos on July 26, 2013, 05:53:26 PM

I'd have to say no unless you want to come up with another contest
128189 x 50 / 12983 / 19 x (8 or 32 if you view sublevels as levels) + 0 (64 parishes)
So either 207 or 832 based on how many levels

Close. Just a few numbers off.
What numbers?
How about closest wins if that's the case? Lol
And if you can't win, you can just {obliterate}
lol

Just like in 6 player EDH when you get everything you have as blockers returned to your hand or tapped by 1 player and then attacked with a {Master of Cruelties} by the next player. Of course I Obliterate. Lol
Quote from: KILLERBEE on July 27, 2013, 04:36:03 PM
What numbers?
If I said which, I'd give it away. But I'll tell you... 3 of them are wrong.
128189 x 50 / 12737 / 18 x (8 or 32) + 0 = 895 or 224
Okay, I suppose I'll give a hint. Use the Advanced search on Gatherer...
I think this thread is gonna die unless we get a new contest/riddle. Nobody can get this one

How on earth can you calculate how many cards there are?
I've spent like 20 minutes in the Set section and my calculator derped out. It was above the 10,000s.
I'm thinking up a new one. WIll post the previous answer when I get one. Give me a bit.
I contacted starcitygames and they couldn't even give me a number
He said around 13000
New riddle:
You can't see me
But I am there
You need me to live
What am I?
PREVIOUS ANSWER:
12000th prime number * number of US states / total magic cards / number of boroughs in Alaska * number of levels in Super Mario Bros. + number of counties in Louisiana = ???
128189 * 50 / 13482 / 20 * 33 + 0 = 784
For total magic cards, if you go to Gatherer, and click Advanced, there's a drop down by the Type. Choose NOT, then type in basic. This gives you a list of all cards not basic lands, thus 13482. See this link (http://tinyurl.com/lr6q34h). There are 20 boroughs in Alaska. 19, plus 1 Unorganized. There are 33 levels in Super Mario Bros. 8 worlds, with 4 levels each, plus the Negative world.
Air?
Oxygen
Time?
Quote from: KILLERBEE on July 30, 2013, 04:11:37 PM
Oxygen
HAHA, I just realized, I didn't put the rest of it, so, we'll go with this. Seems good. When I get home, I'll look through my stuffs and find a prize and post it.
Is air wrong? Cuz i said that first.
Quote from: DrainCleaner on July 30, 2013, 04:52:08 PM
Is air wrong? Cuz i said that first.
True, but yes, air is wrong. Oxygen is essential in the breathing aspect.
So what do I do now? ( <-that isn't a riddle)
come up with a contest, let me know the answer so that i can't participate, and then reward the correctness
Throughout time, what is known to be the middle of nowhere?

Ok in doin it a bit different this time...I'm disclosing one card from my prize... {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}. Because of this I will be working on a more difficult contest. I'm camping right now with my entire family so it may take a while.
Well.... I was thinking of hopping into this thread anyway, but now I really want to lol
Sorry I took so long...
Happiness comes and goes.
Is it this way for everyone?

Wolverine lol
Dante - Devil May Cry
Not even close lol
Harry Dresden? lol Or am I the only one who has read that series? :P
Haha I guess I'm better at this riddle thing then I thought. No correct answers so far.
If you like reading check into Jonathan Mayberry. His rot and ruin series and joe ledge novels are great reads. This has nothing to do with the riddle.

My prize is a foul Hellrider and 4 surprises lol anyway my contest it name the card:
From a dark expansion comes a creature so limited that it is unplayable. You better hope your opponent has the correct colours bc if they don't you paid a lot for a defender and this card isn't worth being played as a defender.

Yep so PM me your address and the answer so I can't participate :)
Here goes!
For the chance to win my {Aurelia, the Warleader} and four more rares: Who's armor makes a cameo at the Golden Saucer?
I wish I could say yes :c
Lol
Bump bump
Isn't the {golden saucer} out of FFVII?
Yes sir! But there's an {easter egg} in one of the game rooms in the {golden saucer}.
Is it Mog's Armour?
No sir, here's a hint! It's from an anime.
Is it from the anime Tower of Druaga?
Because if its from ToD,then it was the armor granted by the God Anu to Gilgamesh before he ventured to the Tower.
Valiant guess, but in afraid that isn't it either! D:
If no one gets it by the time I'm up, I'll post what anime it's from.
Please do.
Hint: The anime the owner of the armor that makes a cameo in one of the rooms of the golden saucer is Neon Genesis Evangeleon. Going to bed now, good luck! (Though it's only a matter of time now before it's out of characters 😉)

Never heard of it..
In the future can we not make these contests specific to people who know a certain anime or video game? This started out with riddles that took thinking to figure out so anyone could win as long as they tried hard enough. This is no fun with these specific questions that nobody can know except for certain fans of a video game that most of us have never even heard of.

Pm me your address and keep this rolling
My math added up to about $8ish... A little short of $20 :P
Guys come on...the rules clearly state the prize value only has to equal $5. Some can't afford to give away big prizes. Please don't give someone a hard time for giving away free cards. Thanks.

i even misread tasbys post. I thought he meant wacka was giving away $20 worth of stuff... Looking back, my comments made no sense whatsoever...
It's ok. I don't want people to be discouraged from playing bc they can't afford it. Lets move forward and continue the game...when the next contest is posted of course haha
Oh poop, I wasn't expecting to win that...
Uhhhh... Don't worry guys, my prize won't be that great either 😉
SO for a chance to win a {Worldspine Worm}...
What rank was I when I got released from active duty in the United States Marine Corps and what was the cutting score I had to pick up that rank?
Good luck 😁
Lance corporal (E-3). That's about 30.00%
Quote from: Thetrufflehunter on August 29, 2013, 02:33:05 AM
Lance corporal (E-3). That's about 30.00%
Nope! 😉
I wasn't a .poop.bag!
5 star general
Supreme Ruler of the Universe?
Private
None of the above! Here are a couple hints, there are only two ranks in the Marines that use a cutting score for promotion! Also, I was only enlisted for 3 years and 1 month!
Sergeant?
Nope!
A stormtooper?
A Civilian
Corporal (E-4) - 29,578 (19.2%)
Correct, still need to guess the cutting score I picked up with! .. Is that huge number your guess or the % of corporals in the corps?
I'm pretty sure the cutting score numbers much closer to 1800
Cutting score for corporal across all the MOS' I've seen range between 1300-1700
Quote from: gtfotis on August 30, 2013, 04:20:16 AM

I was closer then 29,578 :P
I have no idea what I guessed, i saw it somewhere
In the marines they give you a numeral score for pretty much everything you do. The cutting score/composite score is all of your scores added up.

Haha, they wanted me to be an E-3 ;)
You can still guess my cutting score! Both answers is what wins the prize!

Corporal E-4 1452
I can't believe how close you are! You've got 3/4 of the right numbers!
Corporal E-4 1454
64
Corporal E4 1435
Hint: 1xx2
It's E-4 1542 or 1452.
Corporal E-4 1542
Either the 4 or the 5 was wrong and the hint is 1xx2. (xx) could be anywhere between (00)-(99) with the exception of either (04,14,24,34,40-49,54,64,74,84,94) or (05,15,25,35,45,50-59,65,75,85,95). The fact that I made 2 lists due to not knowing if either 4 or 5 is the wrong one, the answer is in one of these lists.

Have you made any trades over iMTG yet? I don't see you on the trusted traders or any feedback on your page so it could be an issue with the address the cards are being sent to?
I honestly sent it however long ago you won my contest, but I'd be willing to send you another five cards if you really haven't received them.. but not receiving two people's prizes seems fishy when you don't have any trades that I'm aware of!
Sorry you haven't gotten your prizes yet, but know that it wasn't done purposefully.
Ok.

Looks like this got thrown to the wayside... The questions just got wayyy too hard, when vampyvrous originally made it, he said fun riddles and things of the sort and a time limit of 24 hours. I believe the questions got too hard for people to answer because they are questions that people would not have to think about and have nooo clue what the answer would be, instead you get 3 pages of random guesses, the original person has to give all kinds of hints... Idk it just seemes like that's kinda the reason why people have lost interest in this thread... Idk just my 2¢

I tend to agree. It was also supposed to be 1 guess per person...as the rules state. Which also means the contest needs to be reasonable enough to be answered correctly.
Sorry, forgot to give a new hint. Ill come up with a riddle instead. For those of you who cared:
Tenderfoot
Swimming,
Cooking,
Fingerprinting,
Climbing.
Friar Luke is the steward of the abbey. Very economical, he recycles the stubs of used candles to make new ones. He is capable of reconstituting a candle from three candle stubs which he melts together. How many candles can he make from 9 candle stubs that he recovered this morning in the Abby's chapel?
Prize 2: {golgari grave troll} (DD)
3?
Nope.
1
Nope!
9
Nope.
As many as he wants under 9?
Nope. It is under 9 though.
1
2
3
4
Not exactly the most fair, guessing everything, but 4 is correct.
It works tho!!! :D
How about I mail you each 1/2 the prize (ill make it 3 cards each), and then you roll a d20 for next contest?
Quote from: Taysby on September 28, 2013, 10:29:49 AM
Don't you only get 1 guess every 24 hours? So my guess is 4. Mlerner is disqualified for this round. ;)
That was only Bcbudds contest tho! That was never in the OP!
I'd have to agree. I did post in the rules that players can only guess once...this rule was violated and disqualification seems the only right way to fix it. Sorry mlerner

Here is my contest. First prize is a {prophet of kruphix}. (Better stuff to come)
An object falls from 1 mile above the earth's surface. What is its velocity when it hits the ground?
Can we google it?
582.7 feet/second, or 177.6m/s
wasnt sure which you wanted, so i gave both.
My work:
1 mile = 1609 m
x=.5at^2, a = acceleration = 9.8, x = displacement = 1609
1609 = .5(9.8)t^2
t = 18.12 seconds
v = at
v = 9.8(18.12)
v = 177.6 m/s and then i converted to feet.

My dad doesn't know this, I'm out on this one
Quote from: Taysby on September 29, 2013, 07:35:11 PM
That's the average. I want the instantaneous velocity when it hits the ground. You need to use calculus.
its not average, its the velocity at that time, which is the moment of impact. Just because i didn't use calculus doesn't mean i'm wrong, i just did it in a way i find easier.
Average velocity is total displacement over total time, yes? If I take displacement, 1609 m, over total time (18.12), I end up with 88.8, which is half of my result, the signifigance of which is not lost upon me, but I will explain it if I must.
It's velocity is 10
Is it within .1 or larger?
Quote from: Taysby on October 01, 2013, 09:48:38 AM
He is within 20. I'm not going to give a very specific amount, because that wouldn't be fun. I'll give this contest 12 hours longer then give it to the closest person because it seems no one knows calculus. :(
Sounds fair 😜
Ohhh.... My... Gawd.... Holy .loving. .poo.
Pardon my language, but that is the most rediculous prize I have ever seen. Unless of course you mean just the ftv20 FoF, and not the entire thing, which makes more sense :P
Woohoo! i think my mistake was in changing from miles to meters then meters to feet, but regardless, here is a logic puzzle, not math!
I have 11 identical coins and 1 that looks like the others but is either lighter or heavier. using a balancing scale, what is the minimum steps required to find the different coin? list each step.
First prize is a {Shardless Agent}!
Only 1 post per person?
1 post per person per 24 hours.
So 12 coins total?
1.
You use Google.
Quote from: Mlerner12 on October 02, 2013, 03:43:47 PM

They're coins who cares you take the 12 coins and buy a snack :D
Quote from: Taysby on October 02, 2013, 03:42:24 PM
Is it the minimum with everything going just right? Or minimum to make sure you will get the right coin? This is not a guess, could I go measure one against another, have one of those be the lighter one, then switch one of the coins, if the scale balances, it's the one you took out, if it still is heavier on one side, it's the one that you kept?
Minimum to be completely certain. You can measure however you want but you don't have weight per se, only comparisons
7 is wrong, sorry
12
Similar to a previous guess but:
1. Divide into 4 piles of 3
2. Weigh them and find what pile of 3 is off balance (like 2 piles will balance the other 2 won't.
3. Weigh one of the unbalanced piles with a balanced pile of 3 if they weigh the same you know that the other pile is unbalanced.
4. Now knowing the unbalanced pile of 3 weigh them against each other until you know what one is a different weight (max. 3 tests)
For a total of 4 steps and 6 weigh scale tests
6 scale tests is too many
Dang :(
Hint time! Thefirst step is to divide the coins in to 3 groups of 4
Nope, but you are on the right track
4
1) divide into 6 groups of 2
2) locate the pair that does not match with each other. One of those 2 coins is the culprit.
3) switch both coins out with 2 other sets. The one that is makes the other unbalanced is the coin.
3 is the answer.

That is using the scale too many times
Divide the 12 into 2 groups of 6
Take the group that doesn't match and make 2 groups of 3 then weigh each against each other and you find your coin
Divide into 3 groups of 4. (Step one, no scale use).
Balance A against B. lets say they weigh the same. (Step 2, one scale use).
Split C into to stacks of 2 and A into to stacks of 2 (step 3, one scale use).
Balance C1 against A1. (Step 4. 2 scale uses).
If they weigh the same it's in C2, which we will say is true.
Divide C2 into A and B, each one coin. (Step 5, 2 scale uses).
Weigh either of those against any other coin besides the other one. (Step 6, 3 scale uses).
If they weigh the same, (A and something else) then B is the odd one. If they are different, A is the odd one.
6 steps, although could be condensed due to wording, and 3 scale uses.

You are about to be interrogated under torture. The torturer does you a favor: "you can make a final declaration that will determine the manner in which you will die. If your affirmation is false, you will be drawn and quartered. But if it's true, you will be burnt alive!" Not finding either of these alternatives appealing, you seek to make a declaration that will get you out of this dire situation. What should you say?

You are walking down a path that splits in two directions. You don't know which direction leads to your desired destination. You see two people standing there. You know that one of them always tells the truth and one of them always lies, but you don't know which is which. They allow you one question. What do you ask them to find out where to go?

No problem. I think it's better to wait a bit then make a good riddle/challenge compared to a random question that people can only guess randomly to win.
Alright. Ill have a new challenge posted today sometime
Cool. Looking forward to it!

I think some one should do another question.
Sorry guys, just got caught up with midterms. Ill make this easy though. You are alone in a cold dark room with a lantern, a stove, and a torch. Thinking to warm up the place, you decide to use your only match to light a fire. What should you light first?

this is a tough one: Using scientific evidence, is Sonic the Hedgehog able to run (answer all of these)
- Fast as the speed of sound?
- Faster than Mario in bothnofntheir first games?
- The fastest character in his most popular games? If not who is?
Yes
Yes
No , shadow is faster

One or more of these is incorrect.

No, shadow is faster
No, no, no shadow is faster
Quote from: DimirOverlord1300 on October 30, 2013, 10:10:24 PM
No, no, no shadow is faster
And someone is faster than Shadow. Someone you'd never expect, but using actual science, someone is faster.
No no and no metal sonic is faster.
Yes no and no metal sonic
That's true. Ok I'll try again tomorrow.
I said that I'm sorry for guessing multiple times, well I am going to post my final answer tomorrow unless some one beats me to the punch.
Is it Sonic the Hedgehog from "Matio and Sonic at the Olympic Games"?

Let's say actually his fastest speed possible, but only in the games Doctor Robotnik are in, because the game's he's in Sonid isn't the same.
Is it Knuckles?

- Fast as the speed of sound?
- Faster than Mario in bothnofntheir first games?
- The fastest character in his most popular games? If not who is?
- Yes sonic runs faster than speed of sound of AVERAGE
Of course he is faster than fat Mario, sound is faster than Mario. And sonic is faster than sound on average.
But sonic is not the fastest in his games..
there is super sonic.
But then again is super sonic, sonic? Yes he is
So Im going with yes yes yes
http://www.comicvine.com/forums/battles-7/sonic-vs-superman-640147/
This supports super sonic (who is technically still sonic) being faster than sonic
Sonic is much faster in his games when he is super sonic (who is still sonic)
Sonics speed has been described as "unparalleled" in a DS game also. So that refutes other characters in his universe being faster than him.

That's funny, the contest I won was hosted from the same person, {Mlerner12}. And I still have not received my cards, this is now close to a month ago, he claims he sent them out but now you say this... I'm starting to get a feeling he is collecting cards from contests and then not sending his end out... I have all the PM's between me and him....
Sorry, it's even hectic recently and I'm sending today.
So are we getting another hint another contest or are we going to have to wait again?

animate dead?
{Time Walk}
{Black Lotus}?
Any card in alpha
Nightmare from alpha
There are a few guesses in the right direction :P
Pandora's Box? It's the only thing I can think of that sounds similar >_<
Just read through a few pages of guesses...my last guess is wrong D:
Is the answer Chaos orb?
Is it {Circle of Protection:______}?
No to all. The answer does not reference what the card does but describes it at the time.
{illusionary mask}
Is it Lhurygoyf?
Meek stone?
chaos orb?
Millstone?
Rare that is trash and appeared in alpha.....
Uthden troll
{Jade Monolith}
{teferi's puzzle box}?
This riddle gave me a headache >_< I have been here since the beginning, whenever people opened me, misery ensued, I was worth the least: You're referring to an Alpha Booster pack. Unopened, it's worth a lot, but only because of the chance of pulling one of the Power Nine...which is remote. I am the rarest of these, I was worth the least, at times I was placed to deceive: You're referring to Alpha dual lands. Since the alpha dual lands didn't require a loss of life or coming in tapped, a player could play them as a regular land and give the illusion of a multicolored deck. Since they're also the most common Alpha rares, they're also worth the least. Therefore, the answer is Alpha Dual Lands...and if that's wrong, I give up xD lol

Until previous winners receive their cards I will have to hold off giving hints or completing this as it is unfair to continue a game where it is not going as its supposed to.

Bump. You will not die,
What not even. No I just like this subject it was fun. I want to bring it back.
Noooo, Skyshadow has betrayed us!
I betray no man. I just use my wisdom to guide myself.
I finally got cards from him so the contest shall go on.
We had close guesses and on track but not there yet. It has something to do with a "rare" you could pull in alpha that would make you a sad panda.
{Vesuvan Doppelganger}
I feel like I should get a prize for defusing most of the riddle :P
Any of the ante cards? Namely, {Demonic Attorney}, {Darkpact}, and {Contract from Below}? I'm kind of guessing here, since it seems they might not be that rare. But I would be a sad panda if I pulled one of these. Especially {Contract from Below}, which deceives you by looking so good. "One {B} for seven cards? Count me in!" Then you see, "then ante the top card of your deck," and you are sad because that phrase makes it illegal in every sanctioned format.

He gave me an Emrakul! And me being new to the game all I had was a foil Hellrider but (I think) Otis appreciated it and it got us talking. I really enjoyed this thread and I'm sad that people tried to rip others off it really makes me sick :(

How do you fit 10 horses into 9 stalls.
Rules:
You can't put 2 horses into the same stall
My grandfather told me too!! Lol is that a guess? With the letters or just a thought?
Put on letter into each stall. Just to sum it up more concisely.
Quote from: GlowackAttack on January 21, 2014, 10:59:46 PM
Yeah I'll make the guess. You have to order the letters of Ten Horses into 9 "Stalls" .Ten horses has 9 letters, so it fits. I think that's it...
Like this.
T1
H2
E3
H4
O5
R6
S7
E8
S 9
It's supposed to be tenhorses not thehorses but I guess it's correct?
Since you just did one I don't think that you can win again so should I just redo a challenge?
Ok Truffle PM your address and start a new one
Sorry, I'm thinking. Should have it up tomorrow! Sorry for making you wait!
The abbey's paschal candle has gone out and Friar Benedict is charged with re-lighting it as soon as he receives a signal from one of the three monks located in the crypt beneath the abbey's chapel. But Friar Benedict is a bit deaf from ringing the abbeys's bells, and only one of the three monks of yelling loud enough for Benedict to hear him. The abbot, who's is also in the crypt, wants to know which monk can do this. What must he do to find out which monk Friar Benedict can hear, if he only goes upstairs to the chapel once?
Note: the abbot cannot be helped by anyone else and he cannot see into the chapel from the crypt.

Has them yell while ringing the bell to see if they match the sound? This is a tough one... I've never been good at these though, so..
Does he see which monk is the fatest?
Benedict can hear them at close range, just not from the crypt.
Have them all shout their names whilst standing in their current positions.

Still no cards from Draincleaner from October, and I know he's gotten my several PM's...
Not a good feeling is it?
God damn. I understand how it feels, I've been scammed before, way before I got on here. And just because they got their cards a long time late that doesn't give Drain a free pass to cheat me out of my cards.
I never said it did. Feel free to open a trial.
I'm not really a huge fan of that. Being on the recieving end twice, I know how it feels and it did not help my severe depression one bit.

I'm sorry about that snarky comment. You paid your dues and made amends and I was not a victim so I have no ground to stand on.

Nothing to be sorry about, I expected worse.

I think it's time for a new question. I think I've got a good one.
A man finds a small iron coin dated 154 B.C., what's it worth?
154 billion dollars
Nope
Trick question, there were no iron coins in 154 BCE.

You said pay attention to the wording so I read it and thought "The man dated a coin 2168 years ago? What is he? Mr Krabs?" And also the coun is worth whatever the man spent finding it

Not sure if this was right but he said something about it being dated in BC. He says that doesn't really make sense.

DINGDINGDING!!!! Correct. The coin is fake, the dating system that uses B.C. and A.D. wasn't created until the year 525. So it is essentially worthless. That husband has quite the head on his shoulders :)
He just kind of thought that it wouldn't make sense if it was dated BC. I'll tell him what you said though

I have no idea
The duke of Clarence's cook is preparing a pheasant that his master has brought back from the hunt. He wants to accompany it with a wine sauce that needs to be reduced for exactly 9 minutes. He has 2 hourglasses, a big one allowing him to time 7 minutes, and a little one allowing him to time 4 minutes, What should he do to time the 9 minutes?
Sorry for taking so long!
Only one guess?
I think he should just look at the clock on his wall instead of being a wuss and using crappy hourglasses
Count to60, nine times
Gah! I know the answer, but I can't prepare the next one. Can I pm you the answer?

here's what happens. He flips them both over at the same time. Whenever the little one finishes he flips back over both so that the larger one will drain for three minutes ( 7-4=3 of course a horse). Whenever the larger one finishes it's three minutes, the small one will have a remainder of one minute in it. He drains it 3 times for a total of nine minutes. (4+4+1=9)

I believe it to be {Nicol Nolas} or maybe you as the player right after you finish your EDH deck and you want to foil it out
Well, you're getting close...
Tezzeret?
The gold part isn't right, but I think that you may be into something..,
Not on the line of Tezz or foiling out an EDH deck. Sorries.
Yawgmoth?
It can't be Mishra, my first life????
{Jhoira, of the Ghitu}?
Why does everyone assume it's from the multiverse?
