A bookworm eats from the first page of an encyclopedia to the last page.
The bookworm eats in a straight line.
The encyclopedia consists of ten 1000-page volumes and is sitting on a bookshelf in the usual order.
Not counting covers, title pages, etc., how many pages does the bookworm eat? Including the first and the last page.
Follow the yellow line, please
That isn't from the first page to the last.<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

It's from the first page of the leftmost book to the last page of the rightmost book, because the way that books are arranged on a bookshelf, the first page of a book is on the right, and the last page is on the left (check and see). But books are typically arranged from left to right: for example, an encylopedia's "A" volume would be farthest to the left and it's "Z" volume farthest to the right. So when books are placed in a bookshelf in this fashion, the pages in a book increase in the opposite of the direction in which the books are ordered. How foolish I feel for not realizing that!Originally posted by Lemmy

I thought I must be missing something, because the problem seemed too easy. But I guess that it's one of those things most people don't think of, which is what makes it a good riddle. Still, even thinking that this was probably a trick problem, I couldn't figure it out...

Here's an easy one
Ten people wrote down their names on one slip of paper each. Then everybody put the slip of paper with their name into a hat. Everyone then drew one of the ten pieces of paper from the hat. What is the probability that exactly 9 people recieved the peice of paper with their name on it?"You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

OK its been ten minutes so I'll go ahead and post one. SD should still post something, though, so I have something to solve.
square root(x+sqrt(x+sqrt(x+sqrt...)))=2
find x
If someone could make a neater version it would be appreciated. I don't know how.
Hint: the answer is not messy."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran
