It would still be 14 1/2 degrees since the angle wouldn't change with the size he's seeing it at?

Correct.

I'll leave with one last question though:

Q11: Shadow approached Sid Shady and said, "I have reason to believe you are the man responsible for the holdup at the 'Salty Dog Tavern' two hours ago. You fit the description given by several witnesses. They described a man who had been drinking heavily before robbing several customers and fleeing the scene." "Of course I'm drunk. I happen to be a professional wine taster and I've been plying my trade for the last five hours." Shadow studied Shady and questioned, "What time is it now?" Shady replied "It happens to be 7:30 p.m." Shadow continued, "Tell me then, what time was it when you started working?" Shady looked at his watch and replied "2:30 p.m." "You're obviously lying," accused Shadow. Why?

Because he needed to look at his watch to know what time he was supposed to start working (if what he said was true). If he really was working since 2:30 PM, then he didn't have to look at his watch.
Complete the cycle!

Might be something silly like: Shady knew the time (7:30) but had to look at his watch to know when he started working. How could he have known he had been working for 5 hours if he was so drunk he had to look at his watch tu substract 5 hours.

That's rather odd, he had already said it was 730 and he had been working for five hours. He doesn't need a wristwatch to do math.

Yeah he said right now it's 7:30 without looking at his watch. So there was no need to look at it to determine five hours ago was 2:30.

why would he need wristwatch to determine when he started working, but doesn't need it to determine what time it currently is


either that, or the watch was one of the watches that he stole o.o

This is the correct answer.

Professional wine tasters would never allow themselves to get drunk because it would mess up their judgement. They don't swallow.

I'm not liking this quiz card game already... if you stand the log up and make 5 equally placed cuts along the diameter you have 10 equal pieces.... argh...


he forgot to mention that the log isn't circular but rather an oval

Without specifying how the log pieces should be shaped or cut 5 would be the most logical answer.

This can only be achieved by stacking different pieces of log on top of each other.

For example, if you made the 1, 2, 3 and 4 cuts, there would be 5 pieces of log. The 5th cut would require the 5 pieces of log to be stacked on top of each other. Would you consider 'cut 5' one cut or five different cuts because you are cutting 5 different pieces of log?

I consider it 5 different cuts, therefore, a total of 9 cuts are required.

it doesnt matter SearingShadow. the riddle doesnt specify, so as long as that single wooden piece becomes 10 equal pieces, it's correct.
