Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

You can, but people won't like you very much.

Well.. I guess the answer was more you don't, or should'nt bury survivors, but.. Killcreek's close enough.

Re: Solve this Riddle!

Survivors don't get buried, only the people who hadn't survived do.

New Riddle - My last riddle's answer times Chuck Norris's roundhouse kick divided by 0 to the square root of Apple Pie plus F.A.G.G.O.T. to the power of infinity.

Hint - It's secretly not an equation.

How many squares are there altogether?
What if I had a 6x6 grid instead of the 5x5 grid above?
Generalising, what if I had an nxn grid?

Re: Solve this Riddle!

The black lines make it a bit awkward, but for a start the whole thing is one big square. There are other squares of different sizes in there too.

Nope. Approach it systematically and you'll get it easily.

Close, but check again the number of 3x3 squares.

Close, but check again the number of 3x3 squares.

After recounting, I got 10 3x3 squares, so:

    25 1x1 squares
    16 2x2 squares
    10 3x3 squares
    4 4x4 squares
+ 1 5x5 square
_______________
    56 squares

Hm?

EDIT - Alright, after realising my failhardy mistake after you told me it was 55... gah..

Re: Solve this Riddle!

For what it's worth, if there's an n x n grid, there will be
(n(n+1)(2n+1))/6
squares, which is just a neat way of expressing the sum of the first n square numbers.

Re: Solve this Riddle!

.. seems there is no riddle.

Ten men's strength; ten men's length, ten men can't break it, yet a young boy walks off with it. What is it?

AZarlak = correct.

What is as round as a dishpan, as deep as a tub, but the ocean can't fill it up?

this is wrong, you divide before add/subtract, so you'd get 3

a proper answer to the question is (2*2/2+2-2)/2
To answer flare's question: a large sieve.

Re: Solve this Riddle!

Alex, that's not fair, you were in the unofficial IRC when I gave away the answer. -_-

What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?
