    2008-10-03 03:12:06.0

    Gah! Somebody added this to a whiteboard in class a few days ago!

    What a coincidence! Tongue out

    2008-10-03 05:42:22.0

    *knows it*

    *walks back to bash his head against TRTETA again*

    2008-10-03 07:41:49.0

    i guess i know it, too.....

    hey red wolf!

    **waves**

    long time no....no see.

    2008-10-03 10:06:33.0

    *waves* yeah, I went back to take an other class, so busy busy busy. I'll be around thou.

    2008-10-03 12:29:29.0

    I know it too

    *steps aside*

    2008-10-03 16:37:50.0

    I googled it

    *steps aside* :P

    2008-10-03 16:38:28.0

    *can't step aside as there are too many people in the way*

    2008-10-03 16:39:11.0

    So... everybody knows it already... hm...

    2008-10-03 18:00:16.0

    Yep!

    *runs to find an outsider who doesn't*

    2008-10-03 23:02:48.0

    okay, everybody knows it. 2 bad, but I'll let it stand 4 now!

    2008-10-03 23:38:39.0

    Well, since nobody wants to give the answer, lets just slap on a '(unsolved)' and call it done.

    2008-10-04 02:32:04.0

    That way, when someone new joins, we can send them here for the easy point (to that person: no offense intended)

    2008-10-04 02:32:54.0

    It'll be like a welcome gift!

    2008-10-04 03:37:54.0

    'Free point when you join, subject to status and while stocks last'

    2008-10-04 03:45:44.0

    Don't forget "terms and conditions apply" :P

    2008-10-04 05:17:41.0

    we can put that in the really small print.....along with a 'must buy everyone a doughnut' clause.

    2008-10-04 10:42:27.0

    don't forget the coffee...

    2008-10-04 17:30:24.0

    What if they somehow read this (even this last part of this discussion) before anything else?

    2008-10-05 11:27:29.0

    mm, i dont know it. i unfortunately have no time to solve it right now though.

    2008-10-05 11:44:35.0

    LOL@all.of.you
    I just Googled this. This ain't a riddle, it's a messy acronym that nobody ever can figure out without Google. This isn't even "solvable", it's just "Googleable".

    2008-10-16 23:44:30.0

    You are wrong Wink (from now on, instead of just giving me the answer, I'd also like to know how you got to the answer).

    I solved this one on a blackboard without internet. Its a classic (50 years old or so)!

    2008-10-17 00:52:01.0

    If you're a teenager, you should be able to figure this out pretty quickly. It's in our entrance exam.

    2008-10-17 05:45:26.0

    I have absolutely no idea where to start on this one.

    2008-10-17 09:39:58.0

    why would you need a computer to figure this out?

    2008-10-17 12:53:21.0

    ... you don't...

    2008-10-17 14:26:45.0

    ok....good..

    it was pretty simple to me..

    just read a jr high year book.

    2008-10-17 14:44:46.0

    Uhm.... I never said anything about computers...

    *d'oh!* You were talking about Nat!

    2008-10-17 14:49:16.0

    There's a sign in a pub in the Northern Territory (australia) that is a mega-long acronym. It's at least 30 letters or so, and we tried to work it out forever.

    You can pay the publican $50 for the answer, but for safekeeping and tradition, they don't give it to you while you're there - they mail it to you.

    Generally, because this pub is 200km in the middle of nowhere, it works out well, because by the time you find out, you have nobody to tell in your travels anyway..

    2008-10-17 23:35:50.0

    Oh, I forgot to mention, you need to prove your address - they send it to your house, so generally whatever's listed on your drivers licence.. that way its almost guaranteed secrecy!

    2008-10-17 23:39:57.0

    (trying to dig up a picture of it somewhere)

    2008-10-18 00:22:08.0

    LOL! That's cool!

    I wanna go visit it just by hearing abt it!

    2008-10-18 06:54:19.0

    Nice, I want to do that myself! YCNFTUEWAM!

    2008-10-20 07:55:20.0

    You can never figure this underwater elephant wants a mule

    2008-10-20 18:43:29.0

    I thought this was an easy one, but i bet i was wrong.

    2008-10-20 20:52:01.0

    Methinks it is easy...

    2008-10-20 22:43:55.0

    Knowing nat, its probably just a bunch of random letters that actually mean nothing at all

    2008-10-21 06:06:01.0

    Read the letters out loud to yourself, one at a time. That'll get you part way there.

    2008-10-21 07:48:27.0

    um.... still completely random to me...

    2008-10-21 08:49:03.0

    Bring yours over, SK :)

    2008-10-21 08:49:20.0

    It's too easy!

    *hits self with wooden plank, Montypython-esque*

    2008-10-21 15:13:16.0

    Umm... nope... lets stop dragging this out, somebody please put me out of my misery

    2008-10-22 05:27:51.0

    Nope! Sorry Tongue out

    2008-10-22 10:15:47.0

    I'll throw a small hint: devide the message in 4 to solve it correctly like this: yyur yyub icur yy4me

    2008-10-23 15:21:45.0

    umm red... I know that one.... It's nats stupid nonsense I'm trying to figure out, and Synth keeps making fun of me!!! Cry

    2008-10-23 23:40:23.0

    Morgan K.: It's not. drdec WAS ACTUALLY close.

    2008-10-24 05:12:16.0

    ....Ohhh....... I'm sorry.... I thought you were trying to figure out the yy's riddle still! Undecided

    2008-10-24 05:14:56.0

    the "yy" in the last part don't match with what I reada on Google.

    "If you're a teenager, you should be able to figure this out pretty quickly. It's in our entrance exam"
    I AM a teenager. In SWEDEN!

    2008-10-24 05:15:04.0

    Huh. That's the only way I know it.

    Does living in Sweden make you more qualified as a teenager, or something? 'Coz today I'm from Bouvet Island.

    2008-10-24 05:18:41.0

    Yes. Or something like that. We are at least geekier here. Well, the geeks here are geekier than the average non-Swede geeks.

    2008-10-24 05:28:19.0

    That's it, I'm changing my nationality to 'Asian/ Pacific Islander', STAT!

    2008-10-24 05:35:20.0

    Umm... sweden isn't in the pacific, you know that right?

    2008-10-24 07:04:32.0

    Ja, but Europeans have lower test scores than Asians...

    (Will cite soon)

    2008-10-24 14:16:43.0

    I think thats true

    2008-10-25 01:40:52.0

    No, No, I got an image from my friend that looked like it was from wiki a few days ago... lemme see...

    No offense, Australians, but I'd be talkin' 'bout Indigenous people here.

    2008-10-25 08:34:57.0

    What are those maps showing?

    2008-10-25 09:18:33.0

    The first one is a spoof...

    The second shows the average IQ of people indigenous to that country.

    2008-10-25 09:27:28.0

    There, took off the offensive one. Obviously made by a Sweed Tongue out

    2008-10-25 09:28:21.0

    I'm honestly writing this unbiased, but I think that may be wrong. Do you have a reference?

    2008-10-25 11:13:52.0

    Nope, but google worldwide average IQ. There are a bunch like this or similar. The only surprising thing was Australia, unless they only tested Aboriginals in a language other than their native one...

    Tongue out

    2008-10-25 13:12:02.0

    I wouldn't be surprised at that statistic... You have to live here to understand.

    2008-10-25 18:53:17.0

    Meh. I wouldn't want to. It's too confusing-- The Australians pretending to hate the New Zealanders (and vice versa) just for tourists.

    See, Americans eat fast food like crazy no matter if there are tourists around or not. Also, Italians lick leather and all Mongols pillage villages. I could go on, if you want.

    2008-10-25 19:12:29.0

    No no, that's fine.... given I have no idea what you're on about

    2008-10-25 22:35:55.0

    Yeah... since when do tourists have anything to do with it?

    2008-10-25 23:18:18.0

    People in Australia of British descent might aswell have been tourists....

    It's not use trying to defend your 2 am logic.

    2008-10-26 14:05:46.0

    "There, took off the offensive one. Obviously made by a Sweed Tongue out"

    1: "Swede", not "Sweed". 2: No, I didn't make it. Did never see it either.

    2008-10-28 07:28:23.0

    Aww... You know I was just kidding because of you previously declaring your Swedom, (lol!) nothing personal against... well... however many people live in Swedeland.

    2008-10-28 15:04:04.0

    "Swedeland"!?!?!?! GAAAAH!!! *Throws tomatoes*

    2008-10-30 08:05:35.0

    Is it too wise you are, too wise you be, i see you are too wise for me? If it's not, then I just wasted about ten minutes of my life.

    2008-11-01 20:40:19.0

    YES! FInally!!!

    w00T!

    2008-11-01 20:42:35.0

    (solved)?  oh, we need Red Wolf for that.

    2008-11-01 20:47:41.0

    "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might
    appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise
    than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."

    -the Duchess, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

    2008-11-01 20:49:30.0

    Now that needs an explanation....

    2008-11-01 20:51:46.0

    Oh do i need to explain...

    Well there are 2 y's hence too wise and if you sound it out you should get it.

    2008-11-01 20:53:00.0

    Oh, hahaha no no, I meant Duke Jake's quote that he put up there:)

    2008-11-01 20:54:14.0

    The Duchess is spouting some 'wise sayings' (morals) i.e. 'and the moral of that is--'...

    She starts off with "the moral of that is--"Be what you would seem to be"--or if you'd like it put more simply--"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise ..."

    and then Alice responds, 'I think I should understand that better,' Alice said very politely, 'if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.'

    I know I can't understand it even if it is written down

    2008-11-01 20:58:48.0

    Yeah, it's a pretty convoluted way of saying it...

    2008-11-01 21:02:22.0
