Here's how it works: 1. You send me 10 geos to enter the Progressive Riddle. 2. Once that is done i will send you a number. 3. You can then start working on your answer. 4. The person who answer it correctly will recieve all the geos which were collected from all the people that entered. 5. You do not quote the answer here, you simple PM it to me and if you have not paid your geos you do not win and all the geos are kept for the next Progressive Riddle.

This doesn't stop until someone answers it correctly so it will be worth it in the long run.

Question: The wind eased itself gently through Captain Sheba's hair as he pressed his eye against his spy glass. "Land! At last we are rich!" he shouted to his crew members. They anchored not very far away from the strange little island, rowed toward the shore and arrived safely. "Brethren, we've found the island. From the information we have so far, the treasure is hidden under one of these colored rocks on the shore and the rest of the rocks have a poisonous gas trapped beneath them. Alas, I can't afford to lose any of my crew members. If we could only decode the last part of these writings, we would know which rock the treasure is under. I will give ten percent of the find to anyone who is able to decode this last message!"

At the end of your power
At the beginning of eternity
Blessed is he who finds me
He who still exists after uncovering me
To enjoy my riches forever
My last is in mud somewhere wherever

That's all the writings say. There are four rocks. They are blue, red, white, and black respectively. Which one has the treasure hidden under it?

NOTE: I do not get any geos out of this what-so-ever. Admin's can monitor it and make sure.

I made a mistake by doing this because there are only 4 answers which makes the riddle pretty pointless considering there are so any people in GEwar...

So it has changed.

The new riddle is: If car is driving the wheels, tyres, lock nuts ect. are spinning. Correct? Now the question i want to know is, that if a car is driving and all the above is spinning which part of the above is not spinning.

The rules from the first Progressive Riddle apply here.

I have added 50 geos just to get it started.

The car isnt spinning

The car isnt spinning

I KNOW THAT CAR ISNT NOOB! The wheels are turning/spinning/rotating while you drive!

Hence the car isnt, and it is part of the above and not spinning.

So you attack me for apparently getting it correct?

Good job asshat.

OMW! Which part of the wheel, tyre, lock nuts ect. isn't turning while the car is driving.... AND IT'S NO WHERE NEAR CORRECT!

Every time you have said it so far the car is a correct answer.

It may not be YOUR answer, but it is still correct.

Here's an idea. Go to the highway and jump infront of a car! You are really stupid. That is not the correct answer. And quiet clearly you don't read either because i said that you must PM me with the answer and your 10 geos but guess your mind doesn't have the capacity to do so EVEN THOU the answer is WRONG!!!!!!

Oh I read it but I ignored it.

You mentioned 4 items
wheel
nut
car
tyre

Well the car isnt spinning.

As I said, not YOUR answer but it is correct. Proove me wrong otherwise

Ok just to to make things clear. When you PM your anser. I want the answer and the explaination for the answer. I know the car is not spinning so that isn't the answer. Which part of the wheels area isn't spinning?

Your numer is 12. (its a ref. number for future.) You answer is wrong. Althought it is possible but it's wrong. I'm PM the answer to the admins so that there won't be any confusion.

I'll double the pot when we have a winner. How's that? :)

The correct answer is:

the part of the wheel assembly that is not spinning is the very bottom of the tire which is in contact with the road surface.

Well done.

Geos are been sent momentarily.

Next riddle will be soon up and running.

Well done speedfreak227

I KNOW THAT CAR ISNT NOOB! The wheels are turning/spinning/rotating while you drive!

you call him an idiot. then you call him a NOOB which uh is a bit redundant since he joined here before you did.
then because he answered and it wasnt the correct answer by you, you treat him like ****..

How would someone who has no idea about cars know that sort of answer speedfreak gave you?

If you are going to do riddles do ones suited to EVERYONE.

any chance we can see the explanation of why this is the correct answer??

think about it carefullly, if the bottom of the tire was moving relative to the ground it would be sliding or skidding.

This link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloid) discusses something closely related.

there's no such thing as a riddle suited to everyone.
this one had nothing to do with cars.

speedfreak227

i disgagree with your answer.

you answer says that its the contact point between the wheel and the road that is not rotating... which is correct, but this is a contact point, not a part of the car.
Furthermore, if you did select any arbitary point of the wheel that made contact with the road and continued to follow this point of reference, you would infact get a cycloid.. but it is still moving, it not not stationary.

which part of the above is not spinning.
i would say it would be the wheel housing on the perpendictular axis to the axis of revolution that does not spin.

alas. riddles are dumb cause it depends on ones interpretation of such riddle... and in many cases there could be multiple correct answers.

From the wheels point of view, everything else is spinning, except the wheel!

The correct answer is:

the part of the wheel assembly that is not spinning is the very bottom of the tire which is in contact with the road surface.

Actually, I disagree - and I have a very good reason for it, too.

The contact patch of the tyre isn't actually a single point - obviously, as the wheel/tyre rotates, the point of contact of the tyre changes (with respect to the tyre - obviously not the same patch of rubber is in contact with the road all the time, since the car would be sliding then).

Before you do give your rebuttal - why restrict yourself to the contact patch? You could easily say that - if you had a solid wheel hub (or just put a plain, brushed-metal finished hubcap over your wheel) - that nothing at all moves. Since the finish on those brushed-metal hubcaps is identical, nothing can be "seen" to be rotating, and thus the wheel isn't rotating at all. If you're referencing the "point" itself, then the "top" of the tyre doesn't rotate, either does any other "point" you might want to reference anywhere around the 360 degrees of the tyre.

However! I do have a partially trivial and correct answer to your riddle. You see, you didn't specify what type of car the car was. And - it just happens that the Rolls Royce Phantom has specially designed wheel centres that don't rotate with the wheel. Don't believe me? Give me a link to a picture of the Rolls Royce Phantom (as in the one currently being built by BMW) which doesn't have the RR symbol in the middle of its wheel pointing up in the right direction.

I thought this was meant to be a little bit of fun to earn a few extra geos. :)

I submitted an answer that the air in the tyres would not be spinning, which I thought was the correct answer.
puLse-mYstiCurSe told me that although that was also "correct" it was not the answer that was given to the admins.
Do you see me whinging, no, so get over it and move on. :p

Congrats to speedfreak227 for getting the correct answer.

Hey, I'm not whinging - I didn't even submit anything! Just - coming from a Science-based academic background, I had the urge to set the record straight. Didn't exactly mean to piss anyone off :cool:

Didn't p**s me off at all. I just had an urge, as well, to say what I thought.

Besides don't you think my answer was better than the one posted to the admins? :p

Peace man :cool:

Congrats to speedfreak227 for getting the correct answer.

the air in the tires would in fact be moving quite rapidly due to boundary layer interaction with the inside surface of the tire. and even if the air wasn't rotating with the tire, it would be moving horizontally with the car.

as for the unmoving center on the rolls royce (i think that's what it was), it would still be moving horizontally with the speed of the car.

the only unmoving spot is the rubber in contact with the road.

But the question was about "SPINNING" wich means a circular movement over and axe of rotation not MOVING

Yea, spinning and moving are different. The point where the tire touches the ground IS spinning, but not MOVING (velocity is zero). A lot of my classes are on this subject so your answer confuses me.

Good idea though. :)

I think the point being made here, is that if your going to do a riddle, make sure that it has only one obvious solution and not hundreds of interpretations. :)

I've ruined the fun? The whole objective of this is to let the guys have a little fun and try get some extra geos. Everyone is always *****ing and moaning about everything that everyone does in GEwar Money Games. If it's so bad then why do you even take part in it?

Who cares if you give an answer that's right but it's know the right answer (if you know what i mean), who cares if the question is asked a little wrong, who cares if people speak ina manner not fit to your needs... WHO CARES!

This is to have fun people so mean come on...
