I've now officially given up on the sequence puzzle. I looked at the thing about the dolls. Saying it out loud is meaning nothing to me. And my brain has decided it no longer wants to try. :-)

Well, after your sleepless night, I can imagine your brain is tired. :) Each line describes the previous one. Line #1 is 1. Line #2 describes that line #1 has one 1, line #3 describes line #2 as having two 1's, etc. Hope that makes sense.
1
11
21
1211

You can make me
You can take me
You can watch me
But you can never stop me... What am I?
OK, I get it now. But even after you explained it, it took me a while to put it together. I haven't looked at the answer so let's see if I'm even understanding it.Quote:

And what's that sleepless night you refer to? I'll you know I almost got 2 hours' worth!
Time?Quote:

Ok, try this one:
2 fathers and 2 sons go fishing. Each of them catches one fish. So why do they bring home only 3 fishes?
I read another riddle just like that so I know the answer. I'll let someone else answer, but in the meantime here's another:
My daughters
I have 10 or more daughters.
I have less than 10 daughters.
I have at least 1 daughter.
If only one of these statements is true, how many daughters do I have?
At least 1?
I know the father/son one too.
I have less than 10 daughters. Zero.
But less than 10 can be 9 or 8 or 7...
Right. Okay, now I have to go find a harder one... either that or go to bed early. Decisions. :pQuote:

It can't be any number between 1 and 9 as that would make two of the statements correct - at least 1 and less than 10.
It can't be any number 10 or greater as that makes two statements correct - at least 1 and 10 or more.
With zero the only correct statement is less than 10.
My vote is for a harder one.
Okay... seems like I'm the only one who never heard of this one... :(Quote:

Or... one father and his two sons bring home 3 fishes, and the other father's sons didn't come, so he went to his home with only one fish?
Truthfully, I didn't know this one, but I've heard too many like it, so it wasn't like a reach.
It's always so hilareous watching someone else solve something. It's kind of like when someone I know is playing a computer game I've already played, and listen to them trying to figure out part of the story or something like that.
Laugh at me! ;)Quote:

Farking fairies.
k.
Tell me what color I'm thinking of.
If you are right, take off your top.
If you are wrong, take off your bottom.
If you are not sure, do both, scoot to the edge of the bed and place a pillow under your arse.
If you are not alty, ignore this message... or convince me otherwise...
I'm not sure. :)
Don't worry. I am. :pQuote:

Susan gave John as many dollars as John started with. John then gave Susan back as much as Susan had left. Susan then gave John back as many dollars as John had left, which left Susan broke and gave John a total of $80.00. How much did Susan and John each have at the beginning of their exchange?
(I'm sure this is still too easy for Morgaine.)
I found the answer (if I didn't make any mistake that is :o).
Spoiler:
Susan: $50, John: $30
JL, anything that is pure logic, with a definitive answer, and doesn't require any "weird" thinking, I will probably be able to solve. (As long as it's not so long and complicated that I decide I don't care anymore.) I posted one in the other thread:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/games/...-493534-6.html
Which is logical, but it requires a bit of interpretation with it as well. I didn't get it (I found a solution, but not the correct one) until some other people started "thinking out loud" and then I finally picked up on the interpretation part. Then I could solve it.
Anyway, came up with the same answer as Unky. I'll leave it for a bit if someone else wants to try.
I'm still trying to find one. I assume you'll figure it out, but just as long as it's challenging it will be fun.Quote:

I have been enjoying all your riddles. The number sequence one drove me potty. I'm normally around when most of you are sleeping so I'll leave you a few as a pressie for morning:
What English word is pronounced exactly the same if you remove four of its five letters?
I travel all around the world yet stay in the corner. What am I?
You can take away the whole yet some still remains. What is it?
I'm a night person. I'm still around. :)Quote:

Still stuck on this one for the moment...Quote:

A stamp!!
Has the father/son one been solved yet?
I am an insect. The first half of my name reveals another insect. Famous musicians had a name similar to mine. What am I?
The musicians part is a dead giveaway.
You mean the one about the 2 fathers and 2 sons and 3 fish? I'm losing track of what got posted or answered or anything. :)Quote:
