He who is not a magnet can be magnetized with a magnet.

You seem to be the closest. Anyway, this is a tough one, and I didn't know the answer myself. I found it in some book, but I don't remember which one. A magnet has its maximum magnetic field strength at its poles. As you move towards the center of the magnet, the magnetism weakens, and at the very center, its value is zero. Therefore, if in a "T-shaped" connection, the bars stick together, and the magnet is the bar that touches its end face.

Imagine one disabled person has $12.50, and another (also disabled) has $12.50. They decide to pool their money and buy boots for $25. When they buy them, the store owner feels sorry for the disabled people and tells the saleswoman to give them a $3 discount. On the way to the disabled people, the saleswoman puts $1 in her pocket and gives the rest ($2) to the disabled people ( $1 to each). In the end, with the discount, they bought the boots for $23, and the saleswoman has $1 in her pocket, totaling $24... where is the other dollar??
Is it a paradox or a riddle? If it's a paradox, explain it; if it's a riddle, solve it.

What a salesperson, she robbed a disabled person.

yeah, I guess so.

Midgard is my home.

You'd get hit with Gungnir for saying that.

You'd get hit with Gungnir for that.

Svarog's chainmail negates any incoming damage (including Demi-God spears) for 3 turns. Mara's Scythe ignores the enemy's defense + deals additional damage to the Forsaken (fire element).
You have simply no chance in a fight with me, sorry Bro.

First, decide whether you are Mara or Svarog.

I'll be a Moriar, what about you?

One said:

“My name is Vegtam,
I am Valta’s son;
tell me about Hel,
and I will tell you about the world;
for whom are the benches
covered with chainmail,
and the floor
beautifully strewn with gold?”

I was just joking about Moriar. It’s good to know that there are still people who can somehow resist the modern Akhenaten and the delusions of Darwinists. :smile20: I’ll repeat the puzzle: Imagine that one disabled person has $12.50, and the second (also disabled) has $12.50. They decide to pool their money and buy boots for $25. When they buy them, the store owner feels sorry for the disabled people and tells the saleswoman to give them a $3 discount. On the way to the disabled people, the saleswoman puts $1 in her pocket and gives the rest ($2) to the disabled people ($1 to one and $1 to the other). As a result, with the discount, they bought the boots for $23, and the saleswoman has $1 in her pocket, totaling $24... where is the other dollar? Paradox or Riddle? Paradox - explain, Riddle - solve.

Paradox or Riddle?

It's a puzzle. You wrote it that way yourself at the beginning.

What's there to figure out? Just like in the first problem, $24 is a completely arbitrary number.

It's not fun talking to you, Lord Mortulus. Okay, you can't handle numbers... Here's a puzzle to rack your brains with. It's one of the most controversial ones. The condemned man was thrown into prison on Saturday with the following words: "You will be hanged at noon on one of the seven days of the next week," the judge said, "but you will not know which day until the morning of the execution." The judge always kept his word. The condemned man was delighted, as he realized that the sentence could not be carried out. The prisoner reasoned as follows: the next Saturday is the last day of the week when the execution is possible, and on Friday afternoon I will already know that I will be hanged on Saturday. This contradicts the judge's words. Therefore, they cannot hang me on Saturday. Consequently, Friday remains the last day when they can hang me. However, they cannot hang me on Friday either, because after Thursday there would be two days left: Friday and Saturday. Since Saturday cannot be the day of execution, they must hang me only on Friday. But if I find out about this on Thursday, the judge's word will be broken. Therefore, Friday is also ruled out. Thursday is also ruled out, because if I survive until Wednesday, I will understand that the execution will take place on Thursday. In the same way, we exclude Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, and Sunday. He was warned and hanged on one of the days. Where is the error in his reasoning?

Strange prisoner. But it says "on one of the seven days of the following week," which means all the days of the following week, including Sunday.

Is the evolution of the game nonsensical? Well, we'll see.

The puzzle is simple again. He starts talking nonsense right at the beginning because he learns about the execution not a day before, but on the same day.

And this too, although I thought there might be some kind of ERROR here.
