Konnichiwa… :D

Err, lemme rephrase that: こんいちわ (is that right?) :p

EDIT: (I didn't use Google, I'm just experimenting with SCIM for no particular reason; I don't know Japanese or anything)

I'm quite amazed that this thread is still going. I created this thread as just a concept to see how many posts I could get within a few days, at MAX. Proved my theory wrong.....

I wonder what's the solution to the riddle Jeebiz posted? Does he know the answer or did he post the riidle to get solutions?

Well, the king never said there would be an equal number of each color hat.

I think that the last prisoner must gamble, because nobody knows the color of his hat (unless there are the same number of each color). I think he should say the color of the hat in front of him. The next prisoner will know what hat he has on, so he can save his own life, but if the prisoner in front of the second to last prisoner has on a different color hat, someone will have to die.

There is no way to save all of them, because there is no way to communicate effectively.

I really don't know, but I am just wondering what you guys would come up with. This was floating around in my workplace so I thought it might be fun to see LQ users take a crack at it.


Thats true, there is no real way to save them all. At least one person most likely will die, but then again even that person has a sporting 50/50 chance :p.

…which will become significantly lower when/if they realize that their fate is already spelled out for them (causality), and the only reason they think they have a "chance" is because they don't/can't know what their own future is going to be…

Sorry to be depressing in the LOLWTF $RANDOM thread, but I don't think SRS BSNS should be totally outlawed…

Philosophy might be a b*tch most of the time, but that doesn't make it any less telling. :(

More like こんにちは or コンニチハ :)

I had to give you rep for that.... LOL

LOL…all I did was literally type "konnichiwa" and that's what SCIM came up with; like I said, I don't know Japanese :p (but lately I've had a fascination with language in general for some reason, e.g. see this thread in Intros :scratch:).

+1 rep from me, too. :D

EDIT: Also, this thread's funny bone can apparently take a hit and recover in an instant…it went from mildly depressing back to its usual LOLWTF in nothing flat.

Yeah, surprisingly it did.....

You really need to get out more MrCode.

I think the same..... Or at least drink a beer. (Only if of age.......)

:rolleyes:

You're almost there, right? ;)

I'm coming up on 20, so yeah…just about another year to go and I'll be "legal". :p

…and for the record, I was virtually eyerolling at both your comments (i.e. H_TeXMeX_H's, too).

…must…get…off…LQ…
