I'm trying to drum up some good ones!

It's tough to find the time when you unemployed!

Ok, you've gone snowmobiling with some friends and get separated. Your sled runs out of gas, so you find yourself cold and lost. You come across an old rickety cabin and manage to get inside.

You find a candle, a kerosene lamp, a box of matches containing only 1 match and a woodburning stove with wood/kindling and paper.

What do you light first?

Is this some sort of word trickery? You can only light one of those things - the match.

The pressure was on for me to come up big after I got owned last night. hahaha!

I would have called my friends with my phone to come get me. If I didn't have a phone I'd set the cabin on fire, that would attract attention.

Ah yesssssssssss...

Ok, here's another...wise guy!

You've got a juice glass, a dinner plate, water covering the bottom of the plate, a match, and a lemon wedge.

Get the water into the glass using only the match and lemon and NOT TOUCHING OR MOVING THE PLATE.

Purplegrasshopper · 05-28-2009, 04:47 PM

Stick the match into the lemon wedge, so that it would stand straight. Then lite the match, and put it in the middle of the plate with the lemon. Then place the glass upside-down over the match. As the flame uses up the oxygen in the glass, it will create a small vacuum, which will suck in the water through the space between the glass and the plate. Thus, the water will be "in" the glass without you touching or moving the plate.

this thread reminds me of the part in Knights of the Old Republic, when you get sucked into the mystery box and engage the Rakatan prisoner in a game of riddles

I had to take a phone call while this one was going on...friggin' work...

This one is borderline riddle, as you need to know physics and such to make it work.

Purple got it right, though.
