They're chemical elements. Group II in the periodic table. The answer is ra that stands for Radium.

No one line crosses the other so must be correct.
This puzzle is same as one with a gas plant, a water plant and an electric plant and have to suplly each of three houses with each utility with no utility crossing another.

Good eye Seko.

Delgrad, that means going though your neighbor's house... treat the house as a point of size 0 and you can no longer go through it without crossing their lines.

Yeah, really good. I suck at those too. Unless they are really obvious of course.

Ok. Time to get things rolling again.

Here is another "Who wants to be a Millionaire" question. It is a $2000 question this time. Just like before, you get 3 lifelines. Please PM me the answer. You can ask for lifelines here though. Just do not post the answer here.

Bonus: You will get 4 points if you do not use any lifelines. I will minus one point for each lifeline you use or wrong answer you get.

I would like to acknowledge Spider who got the answer right first, but does not want to participate and would rather someone else answer the question because he does not want to have to post a new question so...

The winner is Cantrlady!

The answer is B.

Well...here goes a riddle.

How could a cowboy ride into town on Friday, stay two days, and ride out on Friday?

Nakranoth · Postby **Nakranoth** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 7:15 am

That's a very easy thing to do... but then I've heard it before, so I'm not sure it's fair... I'll let someone else post the answer

My guess would be he is riding a horse called Friday.

Sparkle · Postby **Sparkle** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:07 pm

Yup. Guess it was easy. lol

A new one for those that are interested:

A father, a mother, two sons, two daughters, a cop and a thief are standing nearby a river. They all would like to cross the river on a boat, but:
1) No more than two people can go on the boat at any time.
2) Only mom, dad, and the cop know how to control the boat.
3) When dad is with one or both of the daughters, mom has to be there too.
4) When mom is with one or both of the sons, dad has to be there too.
5) When the thief is with one or more members of the family, the cop has to be there too.

How does the group cross over? (The boat crosses the river 17 times).

And sorry for any spelling mistakes I might (still) have made

..Buh?

Most likely meant mom for one of those. And I've seen a version of this, a Korean Flash game, though it had more people and it was bloody hard. The people were always beating each other up.

I have corrected those errors. Do you have any idea about the answer?
