    Xiaojia is born in 2100, their age is irrelevant.

    Flaming $ 50, tree has $30.

    She said "you will eat me". Which if Knoc eats her it would be true, in which case she should have been cut open and her blood drunk. Knoc can't do a thing -lol

    the money question and the knoc-bb question is correct...

    My apologies for the Xiaojia-taxloss question, I've written the wrong names on the wrong spots lol, let me re-write it :p

    I remember doing this one, but if memory serves, Taxloss should only be getting 1/9 (instead of 1/6). In which case, assume that there is one extra, invisible piece of diamond, making the total 18 = 17 + (1). If anything, you read the instruction for dividing upside down and Taxloss still gets only 1/9 -lol

    Xiaojia gets 1/2 = 9
    flaming gets 1/3 = 6
    Taxloss gets 1/9 = 2

    Total up to 17, and chi_man can keep the invisible diamond -tongue2

    Easy version: Stand on top of each other on the bed... OR...

    I decided to call some water and flood the cell -devil Hope xmichelly knows how to swim... -lol

    I remember reading this weird thing back in highschool... Something about its spelling. It was a bonus quiz or something to kill our time...

    ETA> No 'e'!

    HER girlfriend?!

    Knoc didn't tie the other end of the 15 meter rope to anything... So Black_bear can run free -devil

    It cannot be solved = paradox.

    If S1 is true (in stating S2 is true = S2 is false), S2 is false = error.
    If S1 is false (in stating S2 is false = S2 is true), S2 is false = error

    Two wrong/false doesn't make one right... so it's a paradox.

    X = age of Xiaojia (at death), T = age of Taxloss (at death), B = year of birth of Taxloss

    1980 - X = year of birth of Xiaojia
    1980 - X -120 = year of death of Taxloss
    1980 - X - 120 - T = year of birth of Taxloss = B
    X + T = 100
    1980 - 120 - (X + T) = B
    1980 - 120 - 100 = B
    B = 1760

    Taxloss was born in 1760.

    #17 False. Cos they are in contradict and cannot exist in totality.


    #19
    Taxloss born in 1760.
    Taxloss died 120 years before xiaojia. Let a and b be the number of years Taxloss and XJ were alive respectively. a + b = 100 years. So, Taxloss was born 120 + a + b years before XJ died, which is 220 years. Since XJ died in 1980, Taxloss born in 1760.

    lol.. if i knew hiake was ard.. wouldn't hav taken sweet time ans.. haha.. wasted..

    so.. what is the definition of incest in your qn? or is there totally no relationships of any kind close to incest in the ans?

    eg.. in laws.. are they consider? cousins from mother's side of the family tree?

    #17 - contradictions can't appear in logic

    #18 - hmm this one was interesting. 2 widows have a son, each widow married the other's son and had a daughter.

    #20 - Use the dirt and rubble from the tunnel to stand on to reach the window.

    Looks like everything's answered except for this.
    Two widows each had a son, and each widow married the son of the other and then each had a daughter

    To answer Xiaojia's query
    the brother/sister comes from a son + the other couple's daughter (ie half brother/sister)

    and maidens = the 2 daughters (unmarried)
    Fearless' gf was pregnant, and died of childbirth. The stranger was the baby :p

    Son A is the son of widow A
    Son B is the son of widow B
    widow A married son B and had daughter A
    widow B married son A and had daughter B

    2 grandmothers, with their 2 granddaughters,
    widow A is the grandmother of daughter B
    widow B is the grandmother of daughter A

    2 husbands, with their 2 wives,
    Son A is the husband of widow B
    Son B is the husband of widow A

    2 fathers, with their 2 daughters,
    son B is the father of daughter A
    son A is the father of daughter B

    2 mothers, with their 2 sons,
    widow A is the mother of son A
    widow B is the mother of son B

    2 maidens, with their 2 mothers,
    the daughters are maidens and the widows are the mothers

    2 sisters, with their 2 brothers,
    son A is the brother of daughter A
    son B is the brother of daughter B

    paradox is correct, the xiaojia/taxloss is wrong though even if the calculations were smart :D

    nope, #19 is wrong! #17 is correct but hiake was faster. too bad :p

    you can just answer every question on the first post... there is a chance that the previous people have given the wrong answer and if you just post behind them, and you got it correct, then you win :p


    both are correct :p

    the bro and sis... like the two widows each had a son and then married each son, and had a daughter. So each widow had a son and a daughter -> sis and bro

    as for the maiden part, the two maidens are the daughters and the widows are their mothers


    WILL UPDATE IN THE NEXT HOUR, i need ot eat :p

    No that makes them father and son, not brothers.

    I remember doing this question before... something wrong here. :p
    If it's the same one, I think you should phrase it : Taxloss died 120 years after Xiaojia was born.

    And you missed my post #73!

    In which case, Taxloss was born in 2000.

    T = Age of Taxloss at death
    X = Age of Xiaojia at death
    in fact, both are irrelevant, but necessary as variables.
    Bx = Year of birth of Xiajia
    Bt = Year of birth of Taxloss

    (1) X + T = 100
    (1a) X = 100 - T

    (2) Bx + X = 1980
    (2a) Bx = 1980 - X
    - substitute (1a) into (2a):
    (2b) Bx = 1980 - (100 - T) // Bx = T + 1880

    (3) Bx + 120 = Bt + T
    - substitute (2b) into (3):
    (T + 1880) + 120 = Bt + T
    - remove T from both sides:
    2000 = Bt // Bt = 2000

    ^Wow, you can't wait to grab points huh? :p

    Do we get extra points for correct motivation/explanation? LOL.

    Explanation:
    There were 120 years between the birth of XiaoJia and the death of Taxloss but since their ages amounted to only 100 years, there must have been 20 years when neither existed.

    This would be a period between the death of Xiaojia @1980 and the birth of Taxloss @2000.
