Title: Attribute Post by maryl on Jun 19th, 2003, 12:49pm All the items in the first list share a particular attribute. The second list is of some items lacking the attribute. A. with: battery, key, yeast, bookmark w/out: stapler, match, Rubik's cube, pill bottle B. with: Rubik's cube, chess set, electrical wiring, compass needle w/out: clock, rope, tic-tac-toe, pencil sharpener C. with: koosh, small intestine, Yorkshire Terrier, Christmas Tree w/out: toothbrush, oak chair, soccer ball, icicle Points to realize: 1. There may be exceptions to any item on the list, for instance a particular clock may share the properties of the 'with' list of problem two, BUT MOST ORDINARY clocks do not. All the properties apply the vast majority of the the items mentioned. Extraordinary exceptions should be ignored. 2. Pay the most attention to the 'with' list. The 'without' list is only present to eliminate various 'stupid' answers. |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by TenaliRaman on Jun 25th, 2003, 2:24pm B was tough B:[Hide] color differentiation [/Hide] C was by far easier C:[Hide] they all have fibres (i am speaking of a general class of fibres which include wool,hair etc..) [/Hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by Sir Col on Jun 25th, 2003, 3:18pm Interesting answers, TenaliRaman, but how does a compass need [hide]colour differentiation[/hide] and doesn't a toothbrush have [hide]fibres[/hide]? |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by TenaliRaman on Jun 25th, 2003, 3:39pm B:[Hide] in the compass i had earlier with me had a needle with its north pole coloured blue and the south pole uncoloured (IIRC).

Title: Re: Attribute Post by maryl on Jun 26th, 2003, 10:38am B. [hide]The day after I posted this puzzle I went shopping and saw a compass partially coloured green. C. A toothbrush has fibers only at one end, I guess this was to eliminate other objects that were similiar. All of the objects are villus in their entirety.[/hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by Sir Col on Jun 26th, 2003, 11:13am Aha, C is very clever! Nice one, Marly. Still not sure about B, though, surely a clock would be coloured in the same way that a compass is? I'll post a couple, if that's okay? D. with: laser, calculator, steam engine, space-rocket; without: astronaut, vase, abacus, nuclear reactor E. with: watch, moat, belt, planet; without: island, glasses, pencil, clock |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by TenaliRaman on Jun 26th, 2003, 12:12pm D:[Hide]associated with heat in one or the other way and they don't have it as their end product... Calculators have LED's,Steam Engine and Space Rockets no mention required and lasing action may be associated with some heat.[/Hide] E:[Hide]The boundaries are usually circular..... as for the clock i have digital ones which are not circular ;D[/Hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by THUDandBLUNDER on Jun 26th, 2003, 12:13pm E: [hide]They all encircle something (wrist, castle, waist, star). [/hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by Sir Col on Jun 26th, 2003, 12:24pm So close with, E, TenaliRaman, but I think T&B stole your thunder. Not convinced of D, surely a nuclear reactor and a steam engine are both associated with heat? In case there is any ambiguity I'll add an extra example to each, D. with: laser, calculator, steam engine, space-rocket, geiger counter; without: astronaut, vase, abacus, nuclear reactor, volcano |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by wowbagger on Jun 26th, 2003, 12:24pm Tenali, as far as I remember, [hide]LEDs[/hide] don't have much to do with [hide]heat[/hide], whereas a [hide]nuclear reactor[/hide] definitely has. As for E, [hide]a belt's boundary isn't circular, and the planet is debatable[/hide]. |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by TenaliRaman on Jun 26th, 2003, 12:53pm Ah! the nuclear reactor !!!!! :-[is D:[Hide] they require some sort of initiator or power source?? [/hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by Sir Col on Jun 26th, 2003, 2:12pm Is Uranium not as much a power source as coal is to a steam engine? |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by TenaliRaman on Jun 28th, 2003, 8:58am Uranium is not a power source meant for the reactor,is it? P.S : [Hide]How does one decrease the size of this typing space? it seems to be large even for short posts![/Hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by Sir Col on Jun 28th, 2003, 9:20am It's because of your avatar, TenaliRaman. I'll add an extra clue to with and without... D. with: laser, calculator, steam engine, space-rocket, geiger counter, telescope; without: astronaut, vase, abacus, nuclear reactor, volcano, Egyptian mummy. |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by maryl on Jun 28th, 2003, 9:45am [hide]Wouldn't D have something to do with specifics, like they all measure by a specific method or have limitations in how they work. The rocket goes straight up, the laser points to a specific target, the calculator only calculates what you put in etc.?[/hide] |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by Sir Col on Jun 28th, 2003, 10:06am Good idea, Maryl, but it's more specific than that. ;D |

Title: Re: Attribute Post by TenaliRaman on Jul 6th, 2003, 2:35pm ok this is a dumb answer! I : [Hide] the with's share atleast one letter with the without's. like "err"or -- co"rre"ction, a kn'o't -- a r'o'pe, a kn'i'ght -- a b'i'shop, a 't'oon -- an ar't'ist, a b'o'ar -- a m'o'nkey..

Title: Re: Attribute Post by NickH on Jul 6th, 2003, 2:51pm That's not what I had in mind, either! Don't forget the general form of the attribute puzzle. All the items in the first list share a particular attribute. The second list is of some items lacking the attribute. |
