And many have been known to fall in it,
In tennis, it's nothing, but it can be received,
And some have been known to win it,
Though not seen nor heard, it can be perceived,
Like bees and princes, it's in clover,
The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle,
And without it, you cannot start over.

You have been given the task of transporting 3,000 apples 1,000 miles from Appleland to Bananaville. Your truck can carry 1,000 apples at a time. Every time you travel a mile towards Bananaville you must pay a tax of 1 apple but you pay nothing when going in the other direction (towards Appleland).

I take an alternate route. by

The Appleland-Bananaville oligarchy has expended a lot of manpower to put up checkpoints every mile along the road between the two cities. Each checkpoint will need at least two shifts of at least two guards each; more likely it'll be three shifts. Actually, add a fourth to account for holidays and weekends (though I suppose those power-hungry plutocrats may not allow their guards to take holidays). Thats eight thousand guards - and eight thousand salaries - along a single road.
So I'll be taking the back-roads, on the assumption that they can't have done such a ridiculous thing on all the routes.
Actually, since Top Gear is off the air again, I'll borrow their music and modify my truck using common objects (readily available in Appleland) to make it suitable for off-road driving. Then I'll go through the countryside.
ALTERNATELY: I start a revolution. The military-industrial dictatorship of the A-B government is not going to be popular in the cities - not if they impose such heavy taxes on any transshipments within their own country. The fact that they've seen it necessary to create such a massive 'guard' force (really, who believes they're anything but professional solders? You've already told us they'll shoot people who try to get a basic education on sight!) is only further proof of this. I trade one whole load of 1000 apples around (fresh food is going to be rare, with those ridiculous transshipment 'taxes'), create a core cadre of dedicated revolutionaries, and spark off a mob riot. While the 'guards' - of which there are doubtless many in the city, to match the ludicrous numbers along the road - confront the protestors in their usual ruthless fashion, the cadre will raid their stations for weapons.
Actually, we might be better to take the mob up against the mile-checkpoints, instead. We know they're fairly lightly-manned, and we can get at least two guns from each. Heck, I'll even transport the revolutionaries in my truck - gives us the advantage of surprise.
Down with the Appleland-Bananaville dictatorship! Power to the people! Fresh fruit for all!

Well done! There may be some brains in the PPC after all! Shall we play again?
I have trapped you in a room, which only unlocks for one minute every 45 minutes. Try to open the door before the time, and you get electrocuted. However, I have left you with two ropes and a lighter. Each rope takes exactly one hour to burn. These ropes are not identical, nor are they uniform, meaning it does not necessarily take half an hour for half the rope to burn. With only these two ropes and a way to light them, how do you measure out the 45 minutes? -
Right, let's do this. by
on 2015-03-28 15:55:00 UTC
Reply
Obviously, the Riddler's suggestion that we time 45 minutes is a false lead: we don't know when the door last unlocked! So what we do instead is this:
There are two methods by which we might get electrocuted. One, and the simplest, is that the door handle is electrified. The other is that the floor of the room electrifies if you try the handle. Both of these can be avoided with reference to one fact: rope does not conduct electricity.
(The two other methods are non-starters. Electricity can't be transmitted wirelessly in such a way that you could electrocute someone, and a wired tazer system would need cameras for aiming - which are easy to break)
So: tie one rope around the handle in such a way that we can use it to check whether it's locked. The best option is if we can apply constant pressure, but pulling it every so often is fine too. If all else fails, we'll take the rope apart and wrap the strands around our hand to make a shock-proof 'glove', but that's probably unnecessary. Depends on the design of the handle.
The second rope we coil up and stand on, to insulate us from the floor. We know it's either long or thick enough for this, because it takes an hour to burn! That's quite a lot of rope.
Then, protected from electrocution, we cheerfully test the handle until we find the door is unlocked.
Then we find something flammable and set fire to the Riddler's stronghold. After all, we have to use the lighter for something. ^_~

Take the first rope and light both ends on fire, also lighting one end of the second rope on fire. By the time the first rope has been burnt 30 minutes have passed. Then light the second end of the second rope. When that rope has been burnt 45 minutes have elapsed.
And now you have engaged in kidnapping and false imprisonment. You might want to check on those guards again, before they are all incapacitated. -

Believe me, I am in full control of the situation. I am most certainly not currently scrambling to make sure my traps are all primed to take out the Batman.
Speaking of the Batman, let me tell you a story about him!
The Joker and I had managed to kidnap Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash. Joker, being the psychopath that he is, wanted to kill them off as soon as possible. I, however, am a reasonable criminal. I always give my victims a chance. So, I cut them a deal: I would let them go, if they could solve one of my riddles.
I lined all three of them up one in front of the other, all facing forward, like so: The Flash > Batman > Wonder Woman. Then, I put hats on their heads. I informed them that the hats were either green or purple, and there was at least one of each color. They could see the colour of the hats in front of them, but not their own. I told them, they were not allowed to communicate in any way between each other. If one of them could guess the color of their own hat, all three were free to go. If they couldn't, I let the Joker have his fun.
They are given 30 minutes. No one said anything for the longest time, when at the last minute, Batman figured out what his hat color was! True to my word, they were all freed, and the Joker and I were sent back to Arkham.
How did the Batman do it? -

Here is how it goes. Wonder Woman can see both Batman and the Flash's hat, as she is last in line. Flash and Batman must have different color hats or else Wonder Woman would have been correctly able to guess her hat. Now when time has nearly elapsed Batman now knows that Wonder Woman has not called her color. Ergo, his hat is not the same color as Flash. He can see Flash's hat and knows that his must be different.

If ever you should be seeking a job in Gotham, I have several openings available.
Well, seeing as you have bested all of my riddles so far, I have to try something even harder.
Riddle me this, riddle me that: can you sole one that stumped the Bat?
There is an island with exactly 201 residents, 100 with blue eyes, 100 with brown eyes, and the island leader (who has green eyes). To leave the island, one must know their own eye color. There are no reflective surfaces on the island and no on can communicate with each other other than the leader to the residents. No one on the island knows how many of each eye color there is. Every morning the leader gives anyone a chance to leave the island by guessing their eye color. One morning, the leader gathers all 200 residents to make an announcement, he says "at least 1 person on this island has blue eyes" How many people leave the island and in how many days after the announcement? -

Because you are right again.
Let us try another story.
A king has 1,000 barrels of wine stored in his cellar. Unfortunately, the guards found an assassin that had snuck in last night and poisoned exactly one of the barrels. Even 1 drop of poisoned wine would be enough to kill a man, but the poison takes 30 days before becoming fatal, give or take a few hours. The poison is colorless, odorless, and victims show exactly 0 signs of being poisoned in the 30 days prior to dying. There is absolutely no way to detect the poison.
In 31 days time, there will be a grand feast in which the king will need as much of the wine as possible. He has 10 prisoners on which to test the wine. His first idea is to give each prisoner a drop from 100 barrels of wine, and then when 1 prisoner dies, throw out all 100 barrels of which the dead prisoner drank from. However his jester speaks up and explains a solution that will pinpoint exactly which barrel is poisoned using only the 10 prisoners.
What was the jester's solution? -
If my small-scale test is sound... by

First, divide the barrels up into groups of ten, numbered 1-10. For each group, each prisoner (A-J) drinks from two barrels, sharing one with the prisoner to his left and the other with the prisoner to his right. Rotate who drinks from what barrels; for instance, in the first round, A drinks from barrels 1 and 2; in the second round, he drinks from 2 and 3; etc. When this can no longer be done without repetition, switch up the order of the prisoners so that they're sharing with different people.
If my mind hasn't gone completely off the rails, it should be possible for only two prisoners to share the poisoned barrel, and assuming the scribes have done their jobs, which two it is that die should pinpoint the barrel.
It works for up to 100 barrels before I stop being able to visualize it... at least, I'm pretty sure it does. Probably. Definitely works for ten men and ten barrels, at the very least. >.>

Number the barrels 1-1000 in Binary. Give each prisoner a number equivalent to one of the positions in the binary number. Each Barrel if it contained the poison would leave a different combination of prisoners dead as each Binary Number is unique. So ultimately they go and see which prisoners are dead. That would correspond to a 1 in the binary code. That would give what the binary code looks like and you can find the barrel that way.
And I do not know. Should you be concerned? -

I had to start by making a little diagram with ten barrels in a circle inside a circle of the ten prisoners and drawing a little guitar-pick shape around each groups of prisoner and two barrels. It ended up looking like a flower. o.o
Then I was like, okay, if I do this ten times over and rotate everyone one space clockwise for each new group of barrels, I can get at least 100 barrels covered, so it definitely scales...
And I knew I could get new combinations by changing the positions of the prisoners...
So I just took a leap of faith from there.

Or build another boat - the fact that there's both missionaries and cannibals present implies we're in some kind of 'primitive' society, which suggests the cannibals know how to build boats of some kind (that being a pretty important skill).
Or side with the cannibals and just let the missionaries get eaten. Down with cultural imperialism!
Walk upstream until the river is narrow enough to ford. This clearly isn't a meticulously-planned journey, since they didn't have a way to cross the river sorted in advance.
Track down the person who owns the boat and ask if they have another. I'm shocked that these missionaries were planning to steal it!
Tie a rope to the back of the boat and have the four who can't fit in hold onto it and be towed across.

Distract the person setting the rules and turn the cups over while she's not looking.
Using a hacksaw, cut the 'bottom' off Cup B, and slide a piece of thin wood covered in glue under it. Wait half an hour, and ta-da! It can now hold water.
Point out that Cup B can already hold liquid - it's got a reasonably watertight seal against the tabletop.
Point out that the starting conditions break the rule that 'all three cups MUST be right-side up'. Modify the starting condition so that this rule is met.

The Emperor of China decided to test his staff to find the wiser ones, so he put them into two groups. Both groups were put in separate rooms, and both received a wide round table of the best food and drink, but the catch was that each man had to sit three feet away from the table. This was because they all had to eat the food with chopsticks that were three feet long.
The Emperor told them he would come back in an hour to see how much food they had eaten. When he finally returned, the first group was angry, frustrated and hungry. On the contrary, the second group was happy and well-fed. What caused the difference? -

The first room was dark.
In the first room, one of the men quickly threw a tantrum and tipped over the paper.
The Emperor didn't sort the people at random: the people in the first room were the ones with allergies. Guess what the food was.
The first room had a table big enough that they couldn't do the feeding-each-other thing, because they couldn't reach.
The men in the second room cheated. ^_^
The first room's food was soup.
The men in the second room, quite sensibly, snapped the excess two feet off their chopsticks.
The men in the second room ordered in pizza and, since it wasn't included in the original edict, ate it with their hands.
No-one bothered to tell the men in the second room the rules.
Honestly, I think 'the first room was dark' is my best one here. Though I do like the cheating, too.

It was all a ruse. Assuming you chose to subscribe to Wicked's interpretation of the events.

Fire. If one throws wood (food) on a fire it will grow. If one throws water (drink) it will expire.

If you throw water on one of those? BOOM.
Anyway, what five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it? -

On average, 'board'. by

It becomes 'boarder', which is only 28.5% tall letters, rather than a full 40%. ^^
Also, 'elope'. Add x and d, shuffle the letters around, and watch it explode. Guarantee it'll end up shorter once the bits hit the ground.
I'm still trying to find a chemical which has five elements in it, and is only two atoms shy of an explosive chemical... no luck, sadly.
Oh, and also the thing you're thinking of, which is a nicely out-of-the-box answer. ^^

Okay, say I have three crates of fruit: one apples, one oranges, one apples and oranges. BUT, the labels are mixed up. Reaching into ONE, and ONLY one box, how do I solve the problem of which label goes where?
And don't ask why you can't look inside all of them, because reasons. -

Which doesn't even bend the rules as stated.
Weigh all three boxes. Since you haven't stated that they're all the same size, I'll also measure them and calculate their volumes. From their masses and volumes, I can calculate their density.
Apples and oranges are roughly the same size; we can therefore assume that they will pack in 3D space in virtually the same way, and that a mixture of the two will do so as well.
Apples and oranges have a different density. Therefore, our three boxes will have three different densities: the one in the middle will be apples+oranges, while the most and least dense will be homogeneous.
I suspect that the apples will be densest, but we don't need to make that assumption: take a single piece of fruit from the densest box. The least dense will be the other variety.
And that's how a scientist would go about it. ^_^

You never told me I couldn't, just that I can't REACH into more than one.
Alternately, I throw two boxes away, and check to see what I've got left.
I shake all three boxes. One of them will make a horrible squishing sound as the apples smash the oranges. I then check one of the other two and label all three correctly.
I leave the crates for a week and sniff them. Rotting apples and rotting oranges smell totally different.
I slap the labels on at random. Well, you never said you wanted them on the corresponding boxes at the end.
Ehm... given that you've implied the labels are currently on the boxes and are all 'mixed up', that suggests no box is correctly labelled. I check one box. Let's say it's apples. I take the label off the box that's labelled apples and stick it on there. Then, since I know that the labels are all wrong, I take the remaining label off its box, stick it on the one I just cleared, and stick my spare on the last box.
I make up three labels saying 'FRUIT', stick them on, then reach in and have myself a snack. ^_^ All this labelling is making me hungry! (Man, I hope it's an orange...)
