Re: How dumb are you? (Riddle)
the trip should take 2 hours. 100miles/50mph
half way through is 1 hour = 25 miles completed you must travel 75 miles in the next 1 hour = 75mph

Re: How dumb are you? (Riddle)
The best riddle ever is still the one with the village of 50 couples where any woman has to kill her husband the same day she learns that he cheated on her with another wife in the village. If a wife cheats on her husband with another man of the village she has to visit all other women in the village - but not the man's own wife - and tell them about it. And we know that all men cheated in the past. One day the queen visits the village and tells all the women that at least one man of the village cheated. What happens?

Re: How dumb are you? (Riddle)
You are playing a game in which you and two other players sit at a round table facing each other. At the start of each round, a light behind you will flash either red or white. The color is completely random for each player. You can not see your own light, but can see each of the other two players' lights.
After the lights flash, each player must guess which color their own light was. They may either guess red or white, or pass. If all three players pass, the round is a push. If at least one player guesses and all players who guess are correct, the players win $1,000. But if at least one player guesses and any players are wrong, the players lose $1,000. You can not communicate with the other players in any way during the game. No speaking, no hand signals, etc. However, you may meet with the players beforehand to come up with a strategy. Obviously, if all players pass each round the players will break even. If all players guess each round, all three will be right only one time out of eight (although random chance may swing that either way) and would expect to lose money. If two players pass each round and one player guesses each time, the players can expect to break even. Is there a valid strategy for this game that allows the players to have a positive expectation?
