Non-Weekly Quote:
(Updated when the fancy strikes us)
"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything." - Nikola Tesla

Umm, mostly for Nick, but here goes:

Can I hold a competition (18th, maybe?) that will have riddles, etc.?

I can't really specify too well about what the riddles will be like, but it should be a good, challenging thing.

Just lemme know

======================================

Planning Area

======================================

Welcome to the 18th Competition! I am glad to host it, and it will push your mind to the extreme. I hope you enjoy it, and try hard to win some prizes! Please PM me all of your answers. I will only accept them ONCE, so make sure you are done when you send it. Credit for some items to websites that I will publish after the competition is over.

The competition will comprise of answering riddles, figuring out a secret code, and a small scavenger hunt. Hence, the competition will be divided into 3 branches, each with different point categories. Questions will be worth 1-3 points, depending on difficulty.

Section 1
Mind Benders

1- The Age Paradox

A youth said: "The day before yesterday I was fourteen. Next year I'll be seventeen."On what day was he speaking and when was his birthday?

Points: 1


2- The Proverbial River Journey

On one side of a river, there is a farmer, some grain, a chicken and a fox. The farmer's boat can only hold himself and one other animal/item, and he needs to be in it to drive it. He needs to get it across the river, but can't leave certain things with others. These things are:

Chicken-Fox
Chicken-Grain

Describe what he takes each trip.

Points: 2

3- The Lost Traveler

A lost motorist came to a fork in the road. There was no signpost so he had to ask at a house which was the correct fork to take him to his destination. In the house were two brothers, one of whom always told the truth and other who always lied. When one of them (he didn't know which) came to the door he could ask him only one question. What is the single question he could ask which would ensure he found out the right road?

Points: 3
