Hi all...

Thank you so much Courtney... you did a fabulous job... ~Greebo gives Courtney a huge huggle~

On to todays question...


"If the puzzle you solved before you solved the puzzle you
solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you
solved this one, was harder than the puzzle you solved after
you solved the puzzle you solved before you solve this one,
was the puzzle you solved before you solved this one harder than this one?"

*gone to greet newcomers*

Yes, the puzzle before THIS one was harder... I think...

*drifting off, trying to catch GB in welcoming newcomers*

No (Just in case Titania is wrong )

*But honestly believes there is no puzzle harder than this one.*

Then I will say they are the same, then all the answers are covered.
*still holding my head*

How can the same puzzle be harder than itself?

I'm not!

- yet

Glad you did all the answers so I don't have to think of this. It's a little too puzzled!!!


But look at that scoreboard!

I'm pretty sure I've never solved a harder puzzle than this one is to understand, but apparently the one before was harder, so my answer is Yes.

The more and more I look a this question, the more and more dizzy I get. Darnation for only living in 2½ dimensions

*Still saying that the questions are one and the same.*

No, I know the real answer: Greebo is a sadist!

(TheDormouse looks around her teaparty for some stray aspirin)

No, the puzzle I solved before I solved this one was easier than this one, because I didn't have to write anything down to solve the last one.

It depends.

As the question contains the words, "before you solved this one" it is all hypothesis because until I have untangled the sentence I haven't solved this puzzle yet, so there can't be an answer.

I think the puzzle can be solved simply by refusing to solve this puzzle. By refusing to solve it, there is NO puzzle solved today, therefore any other puzzle would necessarily be harder, making the solution to this puzzle "yes."

/* Thinks for a moment */

Drat. A conundrum.

Puzzle, WHAT puzzle?

What I'd like to know is....where is ~today's~ question?
When it's my bedtime?
Well I have spent most of today looking after my grandson
*yawns*
Oh, well....goodnight all.
*Knows she will be off the top by the end of the week*

yes. you have to delete the bits that cancel out. for the first part you get:
"If the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, " because the puzzle after the puzzle before this one is this one. you can start from the end and work backwards like in the math logic problems i am so good at . go back(before), go forward(after) and end up in the same place. for the last part you do the same and get: "this one," so the question is: "If the puzzle you solved before you solved this one was harder than this one, was the puzzle you solved before you solved this one harder than this one?" so the answer is yes.

Wouldn't they be the same puzzle? If so, then it can't be any harder, right?

My brain hurts...

*wondering when Greebo will post point for Sunday and question for Monday?*

and Tuesday?
