what is THE question?
[been watchin hitchhikers guide to the galaxy if explanationh is needed]
6x7? :lol:
How many billions of years old will the universe be when it finally ends?
Ohh this reminds me of a riddle: (or 2) :
May hundreds of years ago there was a man travelling to far away lands, on his travels he came across a phynx, to pass it he needed to answer but a simple riddle: What has 4 legs in the morn, 2 in the day, 3 in the eve.
Whats is the answer?
Many thousands of years ago another traveller came across the same phynx, who knew all and everything. To pass the traveller had to ask but a simple question. One the phynx could not answer.
What is the question? Andalus go away! :P I know you know
I won't say, I know the answer too. :P
Aww man!
its in Terry Pratchett- Pyramids so i know
Oh so NOW im told its in a bloody book....
First one to post the answer wins!
Human - crawls as a baby, walks as an adult, uses a stick when elderly.
the first is used in soo many things, it is really old, from Greek mythology to my knowledge.
(ooh wikipedia has it) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx#The_Riddle_of_the_Sphinx)
for the second one I think the question is 'what don't you know/know of?' or something along those lines, because to answer would mean you do know it hence the answer you give would be wrong.
Not even close stormcloud, sorry.
Ok the first one to answer right gets a cookie ^^
is it 'why is your name spelt wrong?'
sphynx is a breed of cat, the mythological creature is the sphinx
Nope, think simple. I mean 6 year old simple
And sorry about the spelling mistake, Its supposed to be the one you said.
If I do know, I can't remember. :blink:
Incidentally, this is a Greek sphinx. It is a female winged mythological creature and asks a riddle of passers-by.

This is an Egyptian sphinx. It is a genderless statue that is the guardian of the pyramids and doesn't care how many legs you have.

Remember that now.
Who wants me to put up the answer!
What is my name?
You got the first 2 words right.
I guess so
What is the time.
wait what?
I demand an explanation
I demands explanation 2!
the only way I see that working is with special+general relativity
which is not 6 year old simple
It works like this, you ask the time. But you cant say the true time because by the time you have said it, the time has changed.
Oh...
By that reasoning there are other questions that could be asked; the exact position of an electron, for example.
Or the exact position of your mum. ^o)
Yes but then, no-one knew what electrons were
Admit it, that question was fail.
Nevar! >=D
it was too, and anyway you could give the answer like the speaking clock, or the exact time at which they finished the question, there are lots of ways to get around your conundrum. Now Jubal has the right idea, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle FTW
