And why a couple of days?

I don't have this game on my computer anymore.

Thomas Torquemada, aka Thomas Torquemada.

10/10 Lizard. I wonder, did you find this information online or do you know it from personal experience?

Regarding Mr. Torqve, I know from personal experience (I've played PvD countless times). As for Mr. Torquemada, I've only heard of him; he's a fairly well-known figure. All that's left is to figure out who, besides a slightly unhinged paladin, could be named after a famous inquisitor (or whatever he did). P.S. On the King's Bounty forum, which shut down 4 years ago, they were, as far as I remember, engaged in "identifying" characters. Question: You have sacks of gold coins in front of you (the number of sacks and coins doesn't matter). One of the sacks contains fake gold. The weight of the real coins is 100g, and the weight of the fake coins is 101g. You need to use scales (and weights of any denomination) to determine which sack contains the fake coins. You can only use the scales once! How do you determine the sack with the fake coins?

And is the number of coins in each bag the same? Although this is probably not important, as you can take one coin from each bag and weigh them...

Ah, yes, of course. We take one coin from the first bag, two from the second, and so on. We put them all together and weigh them. The bag number equals the weight of the coins minus (their quantity multiplied by one hundred).

It was guessed pretty quickly... It's Ment again.

Question

After learning that her husband left her nothing, the heroine of an English anecdote told someone to add the words "until I get back" to IT. What words originally made up IT?

Didn't leave anything behind as an inheritance? Then rest in peace.

Yeah, it's an easy question. Uran, you're up.

According to a certain story, in the 19th century, a station attendant, who was also a passionate chess player, surprisingly realized that it was easier to win without a queen than with one. What happened a few days before that?

He played chess, where the pieces were containers filled with alcoholic beverages (the size and/or strength corresponded to the piece's power). Whoever took a piece had to drink its contents. I understand that at the beginning of the game, a queen was sacrificed...:D Yes, I've heard of that story...

Yashur's version is very interesting, but I will still remind you of a famous KVN joke about the gladiolus.
If the question is why, then the answer is not gladiolus, but because it is a gladiolus.

So, is that not the right story? That's a shame. :( But mine isn't made up either. I read about it somewhere about 20 years ago...

What happened a few days before that?

Maybe he lost a chess game to one of his superiors, and the superior promised him a promotion? ) Lost at chess – won in life.

Isn't it somehow related to Pushkin? Because I've completely forgotten the plot of the story with the same name.
