Help with a riddle Q_Q

OpenStudy (shamil98):

What riddle?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

The wizard awaits.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

JUSTICE SHALL BE DONE

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

If there were 3 of me, I'd be able to eat 3 apples in 3 minutes If there were 100 apples and 100 of me, how many minutes will it take me to eat them all? I'm stuck .-.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

HELP ME WIZARD

OpenStudy (shamil98):

well that's 9 apples total in 3 minutes cause there are 3 of you

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Mhmm These powers

OpenStudy (shamil98):

100 of you, 100 apples so 1 minute o-o

OpenStudy (shamil98):

cause you can eat 3 apples in 3 minutes 1 apple per minute

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I tried 1 Q_Q

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I tried 100 too HUE

OpenStudy (shamil98):

try 11

OpenStudy (kainui):

If there are 3 of you, and you're eating 3 apples in 3 minutes then that means it takes 1 of you to eat 1 apple in 3 minutes right? So as long as everyone of you has an apple and is eating independently of each other, 100 of you eating 100 apples should take 3 minutes.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i agree with Kainui. answer is 3 minutes ^_^

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

THREE WAS THE ANSWER I can now find out the meaning of this Alice HUZZAH

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Thank you Q_Q

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

OH WAIT THERE'S ANOTHER ONE DANG IT

OpenStudy (shamil98):

it should be more clear "I'd be able" it should say the three of me or something instead

OpenStudy (kainui):

Haha no problem, just have to sort of imagine what the scenario actually looks like and if you see three kids eating 3 apples surely that'll get you to the right answer.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

It took 3 of me 3 minutes to eat 3 apples What's the minimum number of me it takes to eat 100 apples in 100 minutes?

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I know Sham, it's one of those games that play with your mind Q_Q

OpenStudy (shamil98):

1?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

so many apples tho

OpenStudy (kainui):

So if we already determined it takes 1 of you 3 minutes to eat 1 apple.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

o-o

OpenStudy (kainui):

It will take 300 minutes for one of you to eat 100 apples. So that's not quite right.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

so 3 of her then

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

So it can't be 300 I tried 100, 1, 0, and 10, no luck >.<

OpenStudy (kainui):

Stop guessing and think about it.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I just wanna know what happened to Alice I wouldn't have guessed if it was homework LOL It's a game, a rather confusing one Filled with riddles and your playing with a character who lost their memory o-o

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

It's not 300 like you said Hmm...........

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

@Kainui So if it takes 3 of me 3 minutes to eat 3 apples, that means 1 of me takes 1 minute to eat 1 apple right?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Nope, why not?

OpenStudy (kainui):

|dw:1385269271682:dw| three of you eating three apples. This takes 3 minutes.

OpenStudy (kainui):

|dw:1385269318788:dw| Now there are only 2 of you eating 2 apples. How long does it take the first one of you to eat an apple? It doesn't matter how many other ones of you there are, so this also takes 3 minutes for 2 of you to eat 2 apples.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

It's so confusing >.< I'm bad with riddles

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

So 3 people eating 3 apples -> 3 minutes

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I got that

OpenStudy (shamil98):

33 of you?

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I think it's 30!

OpenStudy (shamil98):

34 of you

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Not 30, not 33 Just got killed once again Q_Q

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

DANG IT SHAM IT HAPPENED AGAIN

OpenStudy (shamil98):

i just downloaded the game time to beat u

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

LOL It takes a long time Sham, you'll probably not reach me until hours O-o

OpenStudy (shamil98):

i'm a fast worker :) *cracks knuckles*

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

DANG IT

OpenStudy (shamil98):

what's the goal of this game anyways? o.o

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

@shamil98 You find out what the teacher was hiding, and you get Alice's memory back ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the presence of more people does not make you eat your apple faster. they are saying it takes 3 minutes to eat an apple 1 apple - 1 person - 3 minutes 3 apples - 3 people (1 apple each) - 3 minutes

OpenStudy (shamil98):

hm

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

@Euler271 I tried 3 Q_Q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer IS 3

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Tried it again, died .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. there is a second question! thought you were still on the first one.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

LOL NO! xD

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

It took 3 of me 3 minutes to eat 3 apples What's the minimum number of me it takes to eat 100 apples in 100 minutes?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

im some guy named allen

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

@shamil98 That's Alice! Soon you'll meet the Rabbit and the boy who cried wolf and snow white and so much more ^O^ You don't know who they are though HUE HUE HUE

OpenStudy (shamil98):

da fork

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

@Euler271 Do you think that you would be able to solve it?

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

@shamil98 LOL

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

IT WAS FOUR DANG IT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 3 again, lol for this one too. try 4

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

I GOT THE KEY! HUZZAH

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Thanks Euler :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh Wow....... its all because its a fraction of an apple

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

LOL

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Riddles, you just don't know what to expect ~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a bad question though. answer should actually be 3. they expect you to throw out 2/3 of the apple and start a new one

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

EXACTLY! It's a trick question that even I don't understand I just guessed LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 person - 1 apple - 3 mins multiply time by 33.3 1 person - 33.3 apples - 100 mins they expect you to round down to 33.0..for illogical reasons so really 1 person - 33 apples - 100 mins answer for people is 100apples/33apples = 3.03 people since you can't have a fraction of a person, you have to round up to 4. but this is the worst riddle ever

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

It is .-.
