You are stuck in a room with two doors. The first door leads to a room with a magnifying glass that will use the suns rays to fry you into cinders the moment you walk into it. The second door has a dragon who will flame you to death the moment you open the door.
How do you escape?
And more importantly, how did you get stuck in a room like that anyways? :-)
A sun clock would have the last. It is just a chunk of metal with a stationary pin in the middle to cast a shadow over a number.
ReplyDeleteI would say either a water clock or an hourglass would have the most. (each individual grain or molecule if that counts.)
Since the riddle changed...
ReplyDeleteSimple... Walk out at night (Since I walked in at night)
You caught that, huh? I had hoped I got it fixed quickly enough that it wouldn't be picked up.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who didn't catch it, I had posted an old riddle asking which time piece has the fewest and the most moving parts. I have posted that riddle before and had accidentally posted it again this morning.
I attempted to fix it immediately. Apparently, I wasn't fast enough.
Sorry about that.
My explanation was longer than the puzzle. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, karnov got it right. Walk out at night after the sun has set through the doorway with the lens.
You were also right about the time pieces. A sundial has the least and an hourglass can have the most.
