L$3,000 goes to the first person who can answer the following riddle correctly:
I get wet once a day
Although on this I have no say
If my roof is bright and teal
I can enjoy a nice light meal
What am I?

The Earth?
A part of the Earth, like a continent? - every day it rains somewhere on the Earth - if the sky is bright teal (or... blue...) the sun is shining on it... (a light meal) _____________________

I guess Maerl'll have to win... I was thinking more a house plant... Maerl, see me in world.
Ok guys, here's a 1,000 dollar one: You can never know what I am And you never want to find me Sometimes you come awefully close Yet still you defy me All know me All fear me Some look forward to what I hold Yet still no one is in no rush Some imagine burning fire Some imagine land so lush I can never come for you, Only you for me, But when you do you can't turn back What am I? _____________________

Ok, I'm not as rich as Darwin so L$100 to the first person to answer this riddle correctly:
Ok, so one day you're walking around in SL and you come to two teleporters in the road. One will teleport you to a hellishly laggy sim running some ancient version of SL, the other to a brand new lag free sim running 1.1 There are also two Lindens standing here that know which teleporter is which. The problem is one of them always tells the truth and the other always lies. You don't know who is the liar and who is the truth teller. You're only allowed to ask one Linden a single question. Can you come up with a question to ask that will lead you to the lag free sim? |

Can you come up with a question to ask that will lead you to the lag free sim? "If I asked the other Linden which teleporter leads to the lag-free sim, what would he/she tell me?" Note that the answer in either case will actually be the lagged sim, so you take the opposite one. Note: I've seen "Labyrinth" _____________________

Point to any teleporter and ask either Linden:
"If I ask the other guy if this goes to the 1.1 sim will he say yes?" No matter who you ask, you will get told "no" if you pointed at the 1.1 sim teleporter, and "yes" if you pointed at the lag sim teleporter. You now know which teleporter you are pointing at, so you can pick the right one. Edit: Bah I was bested _____________________

For $500.

I hardly remember that movie... Yup, as I recall, it had to do with two gargoyles on a door. "Certain death, or not certain death?" -- or something to that effect.
