Codammanus-2014

I follow you.

The only way to tell is to buy one and open it up.

In any case,

P.S.: You Wrote "Keep in mind the ACCUTRON logo". Remember on witch Forum we are writing here, then Keep in mind the Rolex Crown on my Seadweller i just ordered at Eurotimez !

I'm lost. this is "Other Brands" right? I dont get it.

Name that Magician

While I have a few people working their brains at figuring out another brain-teaser of mine, which you can find here: (RWC Off Topic Brain Teaser from Codammanus)I was invited here to give it a go. I must warn you, that I am a bit rusty since I last came up with THESE, so I ask that you bear with me. It's been a while. If the answer is difficult--good. If it's EZPZ, well....I told ya so.

Here's a story about a magician. Can you figure out his name?

The Magician

There once was a magician who could make things, really anything, appear out of nowhere. He was good. Buildings, people, watches even, he could make it materialize.

Right before your eyes.

One day someone asked a question: How do you do that? (Not the first time he was asked this).

He said, :

I'll give it a shot.

I'm waiting for my pizza though. And my Noobmariner (untraceable) and my jet.

So I can let this anxious solution fly.

It might be a bit boring though, because I stopped writing and formulating these things. I used to do it Here but I gave up when I realized you can't sell what you give away for free.

Not much of a market for these things anyways, but---hey.

I made an earlier post about spatial thinking!

Love the art though.

So they are bogies?

The seller Cyber Tiimes Zone introduced them RECENTLY as new releases. Singapore based co.

So they are either fakes from an old era, when Bulova fell on hard times, or not fakes. Which one?

I'm referring to THESE:

Keep in mind the ACCUTRON logo.

You are so close, that i can't talk much.

Except for the Pythagorean Theorem. And the square is also visible as well as the triangle. No manipulation or moving necessary. Now, you might say "How was I close then."

Oh yeah, you're close. If you combine that with another answer here.

YOU WILL HAVE IT. I give it about another hour.

Hey, is my jet ready? And my pizza?

I also need a vet and a parapsychologist for my dog Lenny. He has one eye and tells me he sees reps that arrive DOA.

Just so I'll know where on the same page,

The object below has six (6) corners. I'm not counting "external" corners. Anyone object?

I thought it would have been figured out by now.

I'm holding the solution hostage. I want a large extra-cheese pizza, a fully fueled plane ready to take me anywhere in the world I want to go, and a Noobmariner---untraceable.

I will save you a slice.

Another first!

That was cool.

I knew posting this here would be interesting!

Am I anywhere near 50?

lots of new and amazing th ings happening - Controlling photons i.e. bending light -

Wasn't that the theory in the movie paycheck. They were able to bend light to such an extent that they could see the future.

That's not it either.

But if I could give you a pat on the back, you'd need surgery afterward.

Edit: P.S. That is not a bad thing.

Are we at 50 already?

I will give what I said I wouldn't. A Hint.

However,

WARNING: This hint may actually make the problem more difficult, or take you straight there to the answer.

Hint: If you can both draw a triangle, but also get involved in one....

The above hint does NOT change the nature of the answer. It is still a figure to be DRAWN.

Cut out a paper triangle. Curl its bottom two corners forward, toward you, until they touch. Looking down on it, you have formed a cylinder. Now curl the top corner down and forward, toward you, until it touches the junction of the first two corners.

Viewed in silhouette this is a square, when the shape of its initial triangle is adjusted correctly.

Having curls instead of folds, you have not introduced any new "corners."

Nice Work!

But too much work. No cutting or folding required.

I beg to differ The figure was drawn , that's why you can see it. If I didn't draw it, it wouldn't be there.

You may have a different answer, but I won't concede that mine is a wrong answer!! (I'm pig-headed like that )

And for good reason. However, the answer to this question, when drawn, does not have to be manipulated, moved, or viewed from any other angle.

You are right though. It is actually drawn. I stand corrected. Your two-dimensional drawing where the square is showing (that's important) does have more corners.

One answer only.

I am impressed. (No one ever presented that before)

I must say, that is the most clever answer yet. But since this is a drawing exercise, and the figure would have to be drawn...

Too many corners. In 2-D. And the ENTIRE FIGURE should be visible without manipulation

And I am baffled as to how you even conceived that answer. Good one, but not quite. I think I might mention that in addition to being a drawing exercise, it is also a thinking (not necessarily spatial either).

The answer will likely stump you too. Then upset you. Then perhaps...I don't know.

Too many corners. I count 6 in the first figure (Ken's) 13 in the one after. (FxrAndy)

Both EXCELLENT though.

That actually sounds interesting. Not quite though.

Sounds good, but I need photo documentation. Remember, this is a drawing exercise. Where can I find a photo of this figure?

Remember the hint, a link will do also. For example,

My answer is : Unless, it is simpler understood in writing.

Ubiquitous,

That is one BEAUTIFUL specimen. If I had that, not only would I be proud to say it's a replica. I would have to call it something "special-sounding" like a "Custom-crafted [or "Custom modified"] timepiece. Which is what it is.

Ladieeeeeees aaaaand Gennnntlemen!!!!

Step right up to your keyboards and make me look like a fool. (Other than what I already look like).

I have a "simple" drawing exercise for any who venture to answer. I guarantee that I can get at least 50 wrong answers from the audience (If I can get 50 people to reply), and possibly 100. This is a problem which I have proposed to many people for YEARS no one has been able to figure it out.

I want to give it a try with a more technical audience with an international flavor.

Now,

Please understand that NOT an exercise in arrogance or intelligence (mine, nor yours). It is an exercise in thinking. More than that, of diversion, so have fun. and Don't be bashful about your responses

The question is:

I'm drawing a figure in my head. It is a square and a triangle that are conjoined, but this figure does the impossible. It has LESS THAN FOUR CORNERS.

What does that figure look like?

There is a catch. The catch is this: No questions!!!

The only hint I will give you is this:

You can find a picture of this figure on the internet, so you only have to draw it in your head once (no scans necessary).

Take care.

In case it's not been mentioned recently, this is a pretty damned good list:

I've contributed a few grabs and suggest you do the same.

Absolutely. Snatchies!

One of my favorites is Ben Affleck's Chopard L.U.C. tonneau, which he has to take off and leave before checking in a facility. Later he switches it for a digital watch just to help him escape.

The make? CHINA.

Seriously. These are sold by Chinavision, but I don't know if they need a make. Even the models, such as Shenzhen Adragon Digitek, come right back to.......

Chinavision (they wholesale, and probably make 'em too. Or know who does).

Coda.

This is a real wristwatch. Reportedly the WORLD'S LARGEST.

But No ice drippin'

I'm putting a chain on this.

(This is actually a piece of art. Not that I consider it such, but it is). REAL SKULL REAL SIZE REAL DIAMONDS. (Ironically entitled "For the love of GOD" as in, for the love of God, stop wearing watches like that).

How apropos!

I thought I saw it all, the "GOON" with ski mask and eyes?????

These guys make diamonds look bad.
