+ Show Spoiler + Q1: If I ask is there a car behind 1 will you light in blue? Q2: If I ask is there a car behind 3 will you light in blue? This way the answers will always be the same no matter which color means yes and which no. Car at 1 - Blue, Yellow Car at 2 - Yellow, Yellow Car at 3 - Yellow, Blue Edit: Blue, Blue - There are 2 cars behind 1 and 3  ))Ofc, it could be for cars at 1/2 or 2/3 or goats behind 2 door combinations or yellow instead of blue, it doesn't matter. | ||

If you had to choose whether they land "same" (heads/heads or tails/tails) or "different" (heads/tails) which would you choose and why? PS This is a pretty easy riddle. answer below: + Show Spoiler + "same," because at worst, "same" is 50%, while variantion in anything, wind, coin, whatever, can cause "different" to be less than 50% | ||

It's no paradox, you're not asking it what will flash for your current question, but a specific simple question, so there is a sure answer. | ||

There are 4 possible outcomes: 1- heads, heads 2- heads, tails 3- tails, heads 4- tails, tails so you have a 1/2 chance of getting the same, and a 1/2 chance of getting different. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + it does matter, as you are not accounting for the possibility that the coins are not perfect | ||

+ Show Spoiler + We want a set of questions where there are three unique answers that are independant of the watches settings. Consider the questions: Is the Car Behind door 1 or 2? and Is the Car Behind door 2 or 3? C = car, G = goat. Doors are presented in order from 1 to 3 Case: CGG Yes, No GCG Yes, Yes GGC No, Yes Now, for our questions to ask the watch, use the following: Is the answer to the question "Is the car behind door 1 or 2?" blue? Is the answer to the question "Is the car behind door 2 or 3?" blue? Blue = Yes, Yellow = No cgg Blue, Yellow gcg Blue, Blue ggc Yellow, Blue Blue = No, Yellow = Yes cgg Blue, Yellow gcg Yellow, Yellow ggc Yellow, Blue We get the same results irregardless of the truth values of the watch. If Blue, Yellow pick door 1, If the answers are the same pick door 2, If Yellow, Blue pick door 3. | ||

I just changed the wording a bit and cleaned it up, because my english needs some work The question was for a car at one and a goat at 2, but it didn't need the second part anyway, it was part of my previous attempt at finding solution, so I removed it, because it doesn't matter. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + It will most likely be Heads/tails or Tails/head H = heads T = tails also | means arrow down and in the second throw the first two arrow downs are from the "H" in the first throw and the 3rd and 4th arrow down is from the first throws "T".. its so damn hard to sketch something  First throw | .... | H....T Second throw |...|..|..| H T H T you see that there are 4 possible outcomes now. it can be HH HT TH or TT. So HH has only 25% chanse and TT has also only 25% chanse.. this means TH and HT has 25% each and together they ahve 50%... | ||

So what, you won't think about whether it works but instead choose to ridicule people who are correct when you're too dumb to figure it out yourself? | ||

The same will be less than the different, because one coin may land in the extreme on it's edge, albeit they're both still close to 50/50. | ||

First off, you didn't say the quarters are identical, so one could have a bias to heads while the other to tails. Because the bias could be either way on either coin, there's no reason to even consider this. Secondly, you say they are randomly flipped, but then you bring up factors like wind. So, say for the average height of a flipper, this wind is causing a large distribution of 29 rotations. So what? They were randomly flipped, so if they started on heads, they're more likely to land on tails. Because they are randomly flipped, there's a 50% chance they will start in either orientation, and therefore your wind bias makes no difference. So we have coins with random bias starting in a random orientation. No matter what outside bias you put on that system, it's going to be random. Your answer of "same" doesn't make sense to me at all. | ||

they are both quarters and are identical coins, its just that not heads or tails is necessarily 50% chance to land sorry if i was unclear... if all quarters were uniform, but you were unsure which side (heads or tails) lands more often, "same" would be correct | ||

4. A man is in a rowing boat floating on a lake, holding a brick in his hands. He throws the brick over the side of the boat. The brick sinks quickly. Does the water level in the lake go up or down? Explain. + Show Spoiler + The water level of the lake does not go up or down. The brick going into the water does not displace any more water than it did when being supported by the canoe. | ||
