There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

[The Unforgiven]

startling
remove the l, and the word becomes: starting
remove one t, and the word becomes: staring
remove the a, and the word becomes: string
remove the r, and the word becomes: sting
remove the other t, and the word becomes: sing
remove the g, and the word becomes: sin
remove the s, and the word becomes: in
remove the n, and the word becomes: I

[Saint Louis]

[The Unforgiven]

No, I knew it from a riddle contest I held on Chimera's game chat.

What can see a bright red target in total darkness, a tiger, an owl, or a man with night vision goggles.

[Saint Louis]

Tigers cause night vision is green and owls use hearing?

[Apollo's Knight]

I dont know. Im gonna guess and say none. Has to do something with the color and each one of those creatures outlooks.

Maybe Ill look into it later. Doing physics :( Hard stuff.

[The Unforgiven]

Apollo's right.

[Apollo's Knight]

I still want to look into it.

I know for the nightvision it cant......nightvision is all green baby. :)

EDIT: "Owls are not capable of seeing and interpreting a broad spectrum of colors."

There ya go for owl and im guessing something similar for the tiger. :)

~new one.... (actually my homework but i hope you guys can solve for me)
This is actually is a paper handed out to us to solve over the weekend.

"The Samovar"

Three Elderly ladies share an apartment in the south county area of St. Louis. Helga is the tallest and has a slight limp when she walks. Olga is rather short and plump and has difficulty hearing. Natashka is thin, but retains some of the beauty she had as a youth. Each of the three ladies was born in Czarist Russia and immigrated to the United States in their teens. Unfortunately our three ladies argue with each other constantly. But, when it comes to their old Mother Russia, the tears come to their eyes as they recall youthful memories. The one thing they cooperate in is the decorating of their apartment with furniture and other items that remind them of old Russia.

One day Helga tells the others that she saw Samovars (russia tea urns) for only $30 at famous barr in south county shopping center. The three decide to join together and purchase a samovar the next morning when the store has its annual "No Tax" day (store pays the sales tax). The next morning the three ladies arrive at famous barr and go at once to purchase a samovar for $30. The sales clerk is astounded over the constant bickering between the tree ladies. Finally each of the three pays the clerk $10 each in one dollar bills. The clerk is happy they paid her the exact $30, since she had just opened the cash drawer and had no change. Still arguing with each other the three ladies pick up the samovar and start to leave the store. Suddenly, the sales clerk remembers that the store was having a one day sale of samovars for $25. Quickly she took five one dollar bills from the till and started to chase after the ladies to refund the overcharge. But, how could she divide the $5 equally between the ladies. She knew they would argue and drag her into the fray. so, she decided to tell the ladies that the samovar was on sale for $27. that way she had paid back each of the ladies one dollar and kept two dollars for herself.

Now wait a minute, originally each of the ladies paid ten dollars each for a total of $30. But each of the ladies had a $1 refund, which means that each only paid $9 or a total of (9 x 3) $ 27. Now that $27 plus the $2 the dishonest sales clerk kept equals $29 (27 + 2 = 29). But, the original ammount was $30. So where is the missing dollar ( $30 - $29 = $1) ?

lol, wtf

[Saint Louis]

i know thats what is said when my teacher handed them out...

[Slusker Svensson]

depends on how you count...
I think you can see it like this:

they paid 10 each.
that's 30 dollars. 30 dollars was in her cash machine... she takes 5 dollars (25 dollars left)
they got 3 back.
She gets back and puts the 2 remaining dollars in there, wich makes 27 in the cash machine....
That's the price, ( "she decided to tell the ladies that the samovar was on sale for $27." ) and that's correct.

the ladies walk away with 3 dollars and she has 27 in the cash machine....

Their calculation makes it all wrong... :P
that's the thing

[Saint Louis]

here is the worksheet my teacher handed out :

http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2342/riddlelc0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[Saint Louis]

I think your right slusker... all that work that they tell you just trys to mix you up... but if you think about it in your head.. then it works out right...

But it also sounds right when the worksheet solves it out... I'm confused...

[Slusker Svensson]

yeah... taht's what i'm telling you... :P
Now you just gotta think of a way to formulate that for your maths teacher...
Mine is a start you can work from.

If you really look at the worksheet and think about wtf they are doing it's not right...

[Saint Louis]

actually my earth science teacher gave it out :p

He's a weirdo...

[Slusker Svensson]

Well i think i'm right, and i'll stop posting here now...

[LiptoN]

An alarm clock :P

1.What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?

2.A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. The man says, thank you and leaves. Why?
Hint: Think about why someone would want a glass of water at a bar
Hint: Think about why the man say thank you after the bartender points a shotgun at him
maybe im really late :P but could it be a water pistol? :P

[Saint Louis]

Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Who am i?

[Slusker Svensson]

The reaper? (if that's the word)
tall guy, black hood, big scythe in his hands?
ye w/e

[Saint Louis]

close.

[Saint Louis]

hint: Rolling Stones.


It's been like a week and no1 has got it...

[Stoffs]

The Devil

[Saint Louis]

Woot

We have a winner!!

[Kewl Chill]

May i say one? :rolleyes:
Or do you have to have one correct ?:hehe:

[Saint Louis]

you can go ahead Kewl

[Slusker Svensson]

What gets bigger and bigger the more you take from it?

(Easy one)

[Saint Louis]

an atomic bomb?

When u seperate the atom, it gives off a huge booom!!

[Lotta]

The hole. :P

[Slusker Svensson]

Saint Louis, u're creative.:yeah:

Lotta is right.

[Lotta]

I'm not sure I know any good riddles..

Who killed 1/4 of the Earth's population?

[Leetiz]

Adolf Hitler? :o

[Lotta]

No, he may have killed a lot of poeple. But not 1/4 of the population.
The answer is not logic if you believe in Darwin. But let's say you don't. ;)

[Forumtroll]

No, he may have killed a lot of poeple. But not 1/4 of the population.
The answer is not logic if you believe in Darwin. But let's say you don't. ;)
God maybe?

[Tttt]

nvm

[Lanan]

No, he may have killed a lot of poeple. But not 1/4 of the population.
The answer is not logic if you believe in Darwin. But let's say you don't. ;)
The time? most people doesn't live out their full age.

[Lotta]

No, it was a person all right..
I guess you need some knowledge of religion to figure out the answer.

[Scratcha]

Well, it's not impossible that you mean all religions except Judaism. You know, the Jews owns 75% of all earths economy (That's 3/4). And everyone knows that Jews has a special passion for money. So if you put it in this way; The Jews maybe claims that the money that they don't own (The remaining 1/4) belongs to "killed" souls. And that will say that the Jews may think that 1/4 of Earth's money (population) is killed because that the money isn't in their hands. :yeah:

It doesn't really make sense, but I wasn't very serious.

And actually, I don't know a shit about Judaism except from the materialist part. u.u

[Lotta]

Guess you allready know that you are wrong :P

[Lotta]

Since no one gave the right answer, I'll tell you know. It was Kain, he killed his brother Abel when only those 2 and Eve and Adam lived.
