|
In Light of the Jokes thread, it's inspired me to create a Riddles thread for people to test their solving abilites agiasnt one another. And since I created this thread, I supposed I can start off a riddle. This ones a warmup, fairly easy, and I think it's a classic?
I am greater than the Gods, More evil than the Devil, Rich need me, and the poor have me, if you eat me you die.
What am I? ^_^

Quick fact, Sir Masaya, more elementary school students guessed the answer correctly to that riddle than college graduates. I think that says something, but I don't know what....

Elementary students think simple while college students look for equations to everything. Kids have a fresh and uncomplicated view of things.

| 2. The way I see it, the first case is the same as the second case, therefore it could be any day. If it's not I'd like an explaination cause I've working my brain overtime to think this one out... |

Loking at the calendar, i would assume that you are talking about Sunday or Saturday.
But i suppose that you are talking about the actual question: What is the day after this day?
The day after this day(today) is tomorrow. So that's my answer. It might not be right. It was complicated to me, being a college boy right now. But forgive if i was being stupid and got it wrong. :oops:

You are talking about today, right?
I'm only guessing today because it is the only thing that makes sense to ma little mind. |

Well when the day is tomorrow, it will be as far from Wendesday as yesterday. What is the day after this day...
It's gotta be Thursday, because tomorrow and yesterday have to be 2 days apart (equadistant from Wednesday).
That or the question "What is the day after THIS DAY?" refers to the day after Thursday, then it's Friday. Either way, I'm done with this riddle and I think we all agree. Brain is starting to hurt. Let us know the answer soon, please.
