Indeed sir! (Though I find milk to be more effective

If it has a quart capacity, how many pennies can you put into a empty piggy bank?

AlterFrom · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2008, 09:14:21 PM »

I'm expecting a trick, but by my math, using a standard US mint penny and the US quart volume, you can put:

2142.9387238684194587659747023948

Pennies into an empty 1-quart piggy bank, assuming you achieve a packing efficiency of 100%.

Well, I'd say 125/7 (exact) or 17 (whole pennies). Quart is 5/7 of Quarter and there are 25 pennies to a quarter.

DetectiveJabsco · « **Reply #24 on:** May 19, 2008, 09:24:21 PM »

nope. Its a riddle not a math problem.

Nox_Noctis · « **Reply #25 on:** May 19, 2008, 09:26:16 PM »

Which is why I looked at the word "quart."

DetectiveJabsco · « **Reply #26 on:** May 19, 2008, 09:27:25 PM »

Ah, well let me know if you want a hint.

Nox_Noctis · « **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2008, 09:28:45 PM »

One. Once you put a penny in, it's no longer empty. Now that better be it.

If not, I need a hint.

DetectiveJabsco · « **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2008, 10:17:02 PM »

That is it indeed!

Long and slinky like a trout, never sings till it's guts come out.

Cannon?

Rifle?

Nox_Noctis · « **Reply #32 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:01:51 PM »

I'll give it to you, Jabasco. It was a gun (and a cannon is essentially a big gun).

I am sometimes strong and sometimes weak,
But am nobody's fool
There is no lanugage I can't speak
Though I never went to school

Echo?

My first is foremost legally.
My second circles outwardly.
My third leads all in victory.
My fourth twice ends a nominee.
My whole is this door's only key.

That one was the reason for a TPK.

Love?

I'm fairly certain thats right.

My tines are long.
My tines are short.
My tines end ere
My first report.

Tshern, by the way, you were correct. I'm not sure why Joda never confirmed that. Alas, that has passed now.
