Well the trick is in that people say Adam.
Well we are all Gods children and Adam was conceived on Earth so I think it would be Adam unless you mean the first person to be born from another person then it would probably be Eve (made from Adam's rib) but if you mean someone conceived the traditional way then yeah it would be cain, he was also the first to murder someone.
We are all God's children, it is true, but even though I am a Mormon I don't recognize the Genesis story (either of them: there are actually 2 creation stories in there) as being literally true. I'm too much of a scientist to believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. So as far as I am concerned, TPH's question can be answered in the context of the religion of your choice.Quote:

Nothing, if i remember this right.

No, of course, how would that happen?

Yeah, what happend? I'm getting confused here.

Division by zero.

When you are doing "modular arithmetic"? :D

Fill a 5 cup and pour ower to a 3 cup until the 3 cup is full. It's 2 gallons in the 5 cup. Do that one more time with another 5 and 3 cup. Pour ower the liquid from one of the 5 cups to the other.

Place a different number of books from each pile on the scale. Myltiply the total number of books by 0.9 kg and see how much it differs on the scale. Divide the result by 0.1 kg and thats the number of books you took from the pile in which the books wheighted differently.

He remembers he has forgotten the keys in his appartment and there is no way for him to answer the phone, because the door to the building is locked and it can only be unlocked with a key. He lands safetly on the lawn two meters down outside the building and grumbles as he walks away.

It requires energy moving yourself up but moving down releases energy so he loses energy, and warmth = energy, hence he gets cooler?

You make a good move and the other person give up. :cool: As my grandma always use to do.

Mount Everest, that's for sure.
> 16)My favorite: "Napolean invites three smartest people in the world to prove they are the smartest. The people are Artistotle, Newton and CaptainBlank. He blindfolds everyone and places a hat on their head. Eveyone either has a black or white. Napolean announces that all 3 cannot be white and removes the blindfold. CaptainBlank sees Aristotle having a black and Newton having a black hat but he is thinking what do I have? Eventually after many hours he stand up and scream,...'My colour is...'. What was the color and how did CaptainBlank know?
Hehe, funny :D If he has a white hat, the others must be thinking "if I got a white hat to, then the one with the black hat must have figured out he can't have a white hat as well, and he would have said a long time ago he has a black hat, and he hasn't done, so I must have a black hat". Now, anyone hasn't said so yet and a long time has past, so CaptainBlank must be screaming "My colour is black!"
> I got hunderds more.
Bah, you stole the one riddle was gonna post! ;)
I hate it when you say a riddle and a person says an answer in a question form. Implying he did not solve it, because if he did then it would make sense and he would not be required to ask but say.Quote:

Correct. The purpose of the riddle is based on this. God can do anything. Then he can destroy himself. But God cannot be destroyed. Contradiction. The error is assuming that God can do everything, he can do anything which is related to His universe, such as stoping time, removing gravity and mastering the universe. However, He cannot win the game of chess in one move simply it is impossible. Or express the square root of two as a rational number or square a circle. This shows the faulty assumption that people make that God can do everything. Now since the destruction of God is an absolute impossibility, just like winnging chess in a single move, it cannot be achieved.Quote:

A possible answer but unlikely....Quote:

The man was the only surviving human on earth. He was unhappy of that fact seeing everyone dead and wanted to kill himself. As he jumped out of the window he realized that he was not the only one but rather someone was calling him, another human. And he realized he made a mistake.

The answer is that the all the men did not know it was poison. But the poison was the ice cubes. The only man use survived was the one who drank quickly before the ice melted and gave the poison. The rest drank too slowly and induced poison invetibly dieing.
It was a Snowman which melted away.Quote:

Think of this. A man is 10 feet tall another is 5 feet tall. The 5 feet tall man is standing on top 10 foot stairs. He is higher but not taller. Mt. Everest is the same analogy. Mount Kea (forgot the exact spelling) in Hawaii is 36,000 feet tall. But it is submerged.Quote:

Mount Everest, that's for sure.
