Current Events > RIDDLE: A brain surgeon makes a deal with you for $1,000,000

(+) Yeah! (+)

Eliza3 posted...

You go into the brain clinic in central Florida. The assistant hands you a telescope and tells you to find a planet at 12pm. If you can find a planet with the telescope, she says the brain surgeon will give you $1,000,000. Before she leaves, you look at the clock and notice it says 11am. You ask her is this a trick, she says it must be a "real planet." She grabs her umbrella, giggles, and goes on her lunch break.

How can you win this bet?

Bang the telescope on the ground, Earth is found, give me my money.

Looking at all the details and clues why would you ask her if this is a trick before she giggles and goes to lunch break.

So post #33 solved it, at 12pm use Google and naked eye to locate planet. Point telescope at planet. Nothing tricky at all.

Your response was are you sure you can see in the current weather and then give us a solution where you can see in the current weather.

Overall very satisfying solution

Yes a lot of posts were almost exactly correct, using the answer we made for the riddle. And that post almost hit it right in the head, except for failing to take into account the weather element

I am upset by this riddle.

How come? Their answer could've looked at it tomorrow or in 10 minutes since Florida weather changes abruptly and they didnt say it had to be today.

People are taking this badly

Ok new riddle

I posted a riddle for fun on CE
Quickly was answered on post 33
Sadly that answer was not good enough for me
held out for days in hope they would see
the answer most right according to me.
Now on day 5 I set them all free
by posting my answer for all to see.
Now for some reason they all seem to want to kill me.

Who is this riddle about?

Hint - think latterly (grabs umbrella, giggles, and goes on lunch break as it is 12pm somewhere).

Are you sure they can see in the current weather. Think about the details.

All these responses crack me up lol

This topic sure went places but at least TC is a good sport about it :b

I'm a bad gimmick poster
I make stupid topics
I poorly explain my bad riddles
I pretend to be a girl on the internet

Who am I?

Yikes. Legitimately bad riddle and multiple people guessed it.

But the weather doesn't matter in that answer. That's like saying you got the math problem wrong because you didn't show your work.

the weather element? you mean the external knowledge that people were somehow supposed to know going into it, and that wasn't actually relevant to the answer?

Yeah, and in spite of TC saying that every aspect of the riddle was important, the part about it being a brain surgeon was completely irrelevant. It's mind boggling how many levels this topic failed on.

Well for that specific answer, the user didnt mention anything about waiting or purposefully trying another day, which was the crux of the answer to the riddle :). I agree it was close!

Hmm Id still say the location was important. If it was just some random person, you could say why should I even believe him that he has a million dollars to give? At least you know that the brain surgeon is more likely to have excess money for the foundation of the riddle to work.

Uhh easy, take the telescope, look down, BAM, Earth!

Why hasn't anyone guessed this?

TC, it's been almost a week; just give is the answer of let the topic die ffs. Your making my balls blue

This was addressed very early in the topic, but it is an excellent guess and seems really intuitive I agree.

Fair enough, I was warned for a few days for an Xbox Live joke (I swear one of the mods here has been harrassed 1 to many times by 12 years olds on XboxLive) so I missed it.

Still a stupid riddle imo.

I feel cheated

I'm not going to dump on you TC, if you made this up yourself good effort. You've already acknowledged it isn't the best but I haven't seen a single person in this topic that is dumping on you provide a riddle they made up themselves so until they do they have no room to talk.

nah you dont need to make a riddle to know that this topic's riddle (or rather, TC's answer) is super fucking shitty

Okay, so if anyone here still thought there was a chance TC is making these topics sincerely in good faith and not just fucking with us because they like to troll, the TC has just given us proof.

I don't imagine it is easy making new and original riddles, so if you haven't made a new and original riddle that's better than this one than you should probably be less critical about someone actually putting forth an effort to do so.

So then block or ignore them. If an account is making you so irrationally upset maybe you don't have the constitution to see them post, there are tools provided to help you deal with things you are not strong enough emotionally or mature enough to handle.

Exceedingly supple is in their sig. Doesn't that seem a little sus? Does to me.

Like none of the actual CEgals are like that.

None of this would've happened if you'd put her on your ignore lists where she belongs after her first shitty riddle topic.

is this poster trying to trick you into a relationship with them? why does it even matter?
lots of people lie about themselves online, you gonna go around demanding proof that every poster is who they say they are? or only the ones claiming to be women?
