Where would you be if you were inside a 'camera' on a 'piano'?

Mushi.. 'The Photo' is not the answer I'm looking for. What's the relevance of the piano?

Your riddle is very interesting... is it because he's still holding the fish in one hand and the weight makes him topple over the cliff?

Hmm, interesting...

Anyway, a little easy math:

How much heavy is one brick if it has weight 1 kg and half brick?

The brick would then weigh 2 kgs...


Neil I think thats a trick question :P
Anyways I might have some sorta guess, dont ask me about it if its wrong... You would be giving a concert of some sort on a piano... :punched:


Here's a classic :P
In a certain town, Kevin the barber shaves all those and only those who do not shave themselves. Who shaves the barber?

Good one. :thumbsup:

Your classic riddle has no good answer. Both possible statements:

1. The barber shaves himself.
2. The barber does not shave himself.

are incompatible with riddle.

I think it calls in Math like Russel's paradox. :)

Jonas... my riddle isn't a trick question... you have to think about where exactly you would be if you were inside a camera on a Piano... where in the world and in what sort of place?

Gosh... this is intriguing!

Although I've always been pathetic at this type of thing. I couldn't even get JKRowlings riddles on her website... :lol:

Neil... I will NOT be able to figure it out... I'll have to wait until someone solves it. Or you could PM with the answer?! :w00t: :lol: I'm kidding!

Allison... you're the voice... try and understand it! If you do want a PM I will, but I'm sure that someone will guess my riddle shortly... especially if they speak another european language other than English or French... the clues I'm giving here!

Yeah, in a room on the floor it would seem. I checked a Italian Real Estate site...tons of Cameras and Pianos, all over the place!

Dave... you got it! The Italian word for Room is Camera and a piano is a floor, but not all floors, more the 'floor' or 'Floors' of a hotel, like ground floor, mezzanine etc... so, you'd be in a room on the floor or you would be in an Italian hotel room...

Yeah, it was always used as if more a synonym for 'Storey', 2nd storey bedroom etc...referring to the level and not the actual floor.
And Jonas got it 12 minutes before me =)

I've always liked this one and found it raises debate sometimes:

You're On a Gameshow and given a chance to win a Night out with Lindsay...
All you have to do is pick from door A, B, or C and if she's behind it you win.

You pick door C to start with, but before it's opened the Host steps in and opens Door B, showing that there's nothing behind Door B.

The host now gives you the option, You can stay with Door C, or switch and pick Door A.

Statistically Speaking, which Door has a better chance of Lindsay being behind it?
Door A?
Door C?
or is There no difference?
And explain your answer.
