    First of all, i have to say that this question kinda a bit bias since some of us never saw these advertisement, being in asia (specifically malaysia) and i have to resort to checking the internet for the answers. which i think defeats the purpose of a riddle since you can simply googled the answers. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    As per Question on 16th/05/07 : Brainteaser Game
    ANSWERS :
    (A) NO ONE TO BLAME
    (B) EXTENDED FAMILY
    (c) TUNA FISH
    (D) WALK IN THE PARK
    (E) PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD

    I apologise that i did not explain the answers clearly. Please refer to below :

    (1) No one to blame : There were NOTHING at point (1) = No One, and 2 Blames at point (2), therefore the precise answer is NO ONE TO BLAME.

    (2) Extended Family : Okay, there were many different answers to this question, but the MOST PRECISE answer is Extended Family. 2nd Closest is Big Family. However in refering to FAMILYYYYYY, we are still focusing on the Word "Family", by putting a BIG in front is taking away the focal point, this apply to WISE family. We are not focusing on "Y" NOR "BIG".

    I concluded this as a Family that drawn out or stretched, make longer spartially = Extended, elongated, lengthened or prolonged.

    (3) Tuna Fish : This gave a very direct hints. Two "na" and "one" fish. The reason why that Tuna Fish Sandwich is NOT acceptable is because, THERE IS NO CLUEs on the word "Sandwich". Same as the reason, why Tuna Fish Burger or Tuna Fish Bread is unacceptable.

    (4) Walk in the Park : This is very simple. Just rearrange the words back in sequence and make a sentence logically. Therefore = Walk in the Park

    (5) Pen is mightier than the Sword : The word mightier can be replaced by intensifier, i believe mostly have seen this example in movie or book.


    The Reason why only the EXACT ANSWERs will be given points is because to be fair to those who has answered precisely. Please take note that, all the answers given ARE AT MOST ACCURATE, within acceptable limits from a standard. This is to protect the Questions with the granting of exclusive right to publish, as well as to share and to refer. Good Trying for ALL :)

    Thanks for mentioning. This makes a lot of SENSE, as i do realise about this. As research done IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to answer ALL FIVE CORRECTLY.:D:D Therefore, points will be adjusted. However, the Question will NOT be cancelled as the objective of Riddles / Guessing Games is also about public knowledge for all. Honesty is needed :)

    i agree that the riddles games is about public knowledge but i believe the questions should not discriminate in any way. be it the location or the culture of a participant. example, the advertisements in the current question. as the advertisements are mainly for US and i think Europe public, it is unfair to ask for honesty from asians who have not even heard of some of the products let alone watch the advertisements. i like the questions that anybody from anywhere can honestly answer without resorting to googling because they can really think of the answers for themselves. like the pictures riddles. and the word riddles. all you have to do is think about it and you can get to an answer. this way, honesty can play a part. :) just my two cents. thanks for the riddles anyway. i love riddles. glad to participate.

    Please give the most logical answer by using MATHS in your most humorous way for story below:

    Why do you rarely find mathematicians at the beach, How does a mathematician support himself and to win a war easily?

    Answer:
    1) Because they have sine and cosine to get a tan and so they don't need the sun.
    2) With brackets
    3) By putting the enemy in close brackets

    i suspect that izzy's answers are correct but, i still want to be creative on my own. he he he he.

    a. because in all PROBABILITY a mathematician does not have the time to SUM up his energy to go to the beach due to his EXPONENTIAL need to bury himself in math problems. :D :D (assuming the mathmetician is a guy, it could very well be a girl :) )

    b. a mathematician supports himself by LOGICAL use of his maths talent to MULTIPLY his AVERAGE income and find ways to increase his salary to the POWER of ten. ha ha a ha ha ha.

    c. by calculating the exact LOG they need to catapult towards their enemy and making sure the target is reached by ensuring the right DEGREE of angle with the right LATITUDE and LONGITUDE though they know in their heart that war is a big SIN. :D :D :D

    Well, there are no standard answers but let me try:
    (i) They are sick of all kind of TRIANGLES (bikinis).
    (ii) By selling their LOGS.
    (iii) By MULTIPLYING the enemy with ZERO.

    I'm quite a humour-less person but I'd give this a try nevertheless:

    (1) because the mathematician cannot resist the temptation to count how much sands on the beach?
    (2) by feeding only on "pis"?
    (3) by calculating all the probabilities of enemy's attck options and then precisely work out every trajectory angles of own's bombs and bullets that they never miss?

    You see, I told you I am boring.....
