EA to give all C2k4 users a full refund

And now I've got your attention. Following both Squiz and Zim's example I'm going for a catchy thread title and some riddles to celebrate my 3000; 20 rep points per riddle if you solve them: (starting easy getting harder)


1. A bottle and a cork cost 11p altogether to make. The bottle costs 10p more than the cork. What do they cost each?

2. A man has a portrait on his wall. A visitor asks him who the portrait is of and he replies:
Uncles and brothers I have none
But that man's father is my father's son
Who is in the picture?

3. A man is in a room and there is nothing but three light switches and a door. In the next room are three lightbulbs. The man must find out which switch corresponds to which bulb. He is only allowed to go into the room with the lights on once. There are no windows, holes in the door etc How does he do it?

Congrats to you Colin! Maybe I will reach 2000 and then 3000 one day, if posts in the news forums didnt count I would have much less than I actually do anyway! Whats your favourite post out of the 3000..and why?

I have the same problem as Zim in that I can only search the last 500 which only covers the last 3 weeks!
Probably some of the initial editing ones when I was working with Tom on the GD Kit Replacer.

This is worse than my riddles. How on earth do I do that?

Well I think I have stumbled across Colin's first post back in March 2003 here

Looking at it, he doesn't seem to think much of the admin here , so how come he is one himself now?

In light of this, perhaps he should be put under mod review until he apologies unreservedly for ever doubting this site, one that his own site merged with

1. As strange as it sounds, the bottle is 10.5p and the cork is 0.5p

2.It's his son

3. Turn on the first switch and wait 10 minutes or so, then turn it off. Turn on the second switch and go into the room. The light that is on is the second switch. Touch the other two bulbs, the one that is warm is the first switch.

LOL! I just don't recall when/why that thread happened..pretty strange. but I agree with you, now that colin's past record is out, he should be on mod review, with 1000 rep deducted (most of them gathered illegally) and as for me, I'm going to close this thread

btw just what did I wrote originally?? : and remember we have no need to impress anyone!!!!

PS what happened to that Sonic guy?

 

[duffarama]

Well done barmyarmy. I believe you have done yourself proud by reaching 3000 posts.
It is a sight to behold.

Welcome to the 3k Club Colin and as promised:

What will I be then? I'm only 200 away...

How about I make you my executive in charge of recreation? No, better yet!
My prank monkey!

You're my new prank monkey!

You guys blew that one big time. I was going to start posting properly but someone from Warriors posted something and there was then a response from Shailesh which was then edited (only I saw it before it was edited). I was so ****ed off that it was edited and then denied that I assumed you guys were just as bad.
I didn't appreciate being lied to the first time I posted.

IIRC Moshin's post was edited and Shailesh then changed his. Seeing as Moshin's post was clearly edited, denying it was a bit strange.

Intelligent answers!

Congrats Colin.

How do I find what was my first post?
