A famous space explorer has just discovered a new planet and landed on its surface to investigate it further.

During his three-hour investigation, he counted 379 male Octopleans, 439 female Octopleans, and 125 that had the features of both male female Octopleans.

So right now, how many aliens are there on this new planet?

How could you ever make a square with a three dimensional object? A square is by definition a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. Polygons are by definition flat and two-dimensional.

If you know the answer, it's easy to see what they were doing (the arms on one are the legs on the other, the blue petticoat is the other's dress, etc), but it's obviously not something that anyone would be able to just guess naturally.

A square is a two-dimensional object. You can make a lot of squares using a three-dimensional object.

The worst one I've seen is that 'draw a line to cut the object in equal halves' or some shit.

That's nonsensical. The object in that picture is neither a square, not is it a cube. It's a fucking rectangular prism. And even then, one tile is enough to make a rectangular prism -- you don't need to stack them!

The radii of the circles describe a 20x20 square. Inside that square there are four fourths of a 10-radius circle. So 400-pi*100 is the inner odd shape, and you add a circle to it, so 400.

Please explain how?

It says what can go up the chimney but not down. How does the umbrella get up the chimney at all? The space is to small to properly throw it and it would most likely just get caught in the bricks and be to big to go up, it's way easier to throw an umbrella down.

It's guesstimation.

We can only assume that's the answer because it's the only one that seems like it might be true to do our association of similarity/pattern to equivalency.

Basically, it's clever, but it's not that fun of a puzzle. If your puzzle solution requires you to guess or assume that something else is true makes it less of a logical puzzle and more of a logical leap.

No, we KNOW that one of the dolls is identical. So the puzzle is figuring out how that could possibly be true. The only answer you can come to is to flip it, and then it's just a matter of matching the feet/hands and the skirt ruffle. There's no magic, there's no guesswork. It's the only possible answer.

Well you have to think about how it's possible for two things that look different to be identical. Imagine playing around with the doll; you can imagine the dress would be movable. Then you have to make the leap that if you move the dress, you can basically flip it upside down.

>less of a logical puzzle and more of a logical leap

This. We're working from both ends of the puzzle and are missing information you would normally have.

1. One doll is exactly the same
Final. It must be Doll [A, B, C]

turns to

1. One doll must be exactly the same
2. Check for similar qualities (C has same dress frill)
3. ????
Final. Must be Doll [C]

Logically, though, you'd see
1. Dolls must be exactly the same.
2. Doll C has same dress frill
3. Doll C has opposite socks/gloves, dress is different, and is a cat. Therefore, cannot be Doll C.
4. Can't be Doll A, everything is different.
5. Can't be Doll B, only the gloves match.
Final. No answer???

The best straight logical conclusions I can get are:
1. One doll must be exactly the same
2. Same quality is C has the same dress frill
3. Gloves and socks are opposite color, maybe they're inverted qualities?
4. Arms and Legs are the same shape, so maybe this is true
5. C is still the best option, C must be answer
Final. Must be Doll [C]

More generally the answer can be found by finding which pair of sides gives the smallest number in the following formula:

lcm(s1, s2)/gcd(s1, s2)

and we can easily see that

lcm(100, 5)/gcd(100, 5)=20,

while the other two pairs of sides gives 24 and 30 respectively.

But you can drop it down the chimney if you flip it around.

Your brain seems to only work on one level, it also never says the item has to be in tact the entire time. You're just creating a list of arbitrary guidelines.

First of all, how the fuck do you even get the umbrella up the chimney? Is it magical? If it's magical then it can surely go down.

I'm glad you see the bullshit then, and glad you explained it that way. I think it's a clever answer, but the way they present the puzzle is horrible. If there was some sort of hint that eluded to an invertible nature then it might have been better, or at least had a better visual clue or hint.

I guess I'm just frustrated with there being legit logic and math based puzzles and then seeing puzzles like these.

In his defense, you can get it up the chimney using wind.

'Course, the answer someone had above of "smoke" is also correct to the questioner's specifications. Any gas lighter than air, really, would do it; release it from the bottom, watch as it floats away. If you try to release it from the top, it'd float away. If you pumped it in via a hose, it'd stick to the ceiling. You'd have to pump so much in that it fills the chimney then starts to leak, and even then the chimney is still full of it.

any number of ways. throw it well enough. tie a rope to it and pull it up. fire it out of a bow. doesn't matter how it goes up, as long as it goes up the chimney while down.

>Other ways to solve problems, it's called problem solving dumbass.
yes, if the thing you repeat over and over actually solved the the problem that'd be fine. but you keep stating and restating a 'solution' that does not follow the stated criteria. a closed umbrella going down a chimney has not gone down a chimney up.

This. I honestly can't think in terms of km/h or meters or anything of the like. I can convert and figure it out, but imagining the stuff is tough. I wish we all just used metric units.

If you wanna go that far, I can add in my time zone to it or we can do what China does and use a single time zone for everything. Seriously, they don't use time zones.

i hate riddles.

i can generally solve them but mostly i just think they're dumb

it just tends to be "how easily can you get your brain to stumble across where the trick/wordgame in this question is and then it's fucking obvious"

and then half the time there are additional acceptable answers to the riddle but they're not 'THE' answer so LOL U DIDNT GET IT

Squares can only be theoretical, tiny bumps and measurements of micrometers cause the perfect square to not exist
The only thing that is square is the perception of the square
There using my /v/ powers what is in fact a rectangle will now look like a square so 1

Not that anon, but what is the make up of the puzzles in terms of ones that require pure logic to ones that require guessing or thinking outside the box? Because I can't stand ones that make you have to assume stuff.

Every puzzle makes you assume things. You know English or whatever language it is being spoken in for one.

Like the tile question

20 and 5 are right.

You can make a cube with 20 or a flat square that is 0.2 inches think with 5

The riddle assumes you pick the first one for no reason what so ever

Well 5x6
10x12 inches

If you lay them out flat in a 5 x 6 pattern tile wise you get a square.

5x12=60
6x10=60

That's a true SQUARE

See, they make a cube and that's what's retarded. The writer of the riddle is hoping that you can decipher by square he means cube.


Now you can also just make an arrangement of 4 or cut 2 inches off like a normal person but again the riddle is just a forced linear answer that makes you assume things.

He doesn't mean cube by square. He means square.
Two of the sides of your "cube" (that is not even a cube, by the way) are 10 x 10 squares. You make those.

10 -15 = - 5
-5 = Negative Five.

FAGET, referencing UR A FAGET
UR A FAGET is exactly 8 letters long.

If 8 is subsituted for child. (8+10) + (8+15) = 41.

41/24=1.7083333 = 17:08

This is one way using 5 tiles. They never said the faces have to match up did they?

Then again like already pointed out, you can make it using 2 by that logic.
