Topic Wiki

It's almost trivial, but you need to realize that you've been told that all
the labels are wrong - not that they might be wrong, but that they are.

Take from the box labeled as mixed. It is actually only the kind you pulled out.
The box labeled as the other kind must be the mixed box.
The third box, labeled as the kind you pulled out, is the box of the other kind.

They use 2 completely different types of intelligence
Okay.



You are stuck in a room. There is only one door, and it's guarded by a burly knight. The knight will not let you pass unless you tell him which pasuk (in this week's parsha BTW) contains 13 words in a row that all have the letter 'ל'.

How do you get out of the room?

Can you make this sentence into a phrase by only adding punctuation (commas, periods, question marks, etc.)? You may not add, subtract, or rearrange the words.
Same rules, just need to add spaces too:

_    ,
' )  /
 /  / __   _   _   o
(__/_(_)  /_)_/_)_<_
 //

New riddle: Where is there a pasuk that has 13 words in a row that each have a 'ל' in it?

חוקת בלק is my bar mitzvah parsha. I remember finding that פסוק to be a little bit of a tongue twister.

So while you are waiting, I'm going to say "וַיֹּאמֶר בָּלָק אֶל־בִּלְעָם הֲלֹא שָׁלֹחַ שָׁלַחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ לִקְרֹא־לָךְ לָמָּה לֹא־הָלַכְתָּ אֵלָי הַאֻמְנָם לֹא אוּכַל כַּבְּדֶךָ" and get out. Then you'll overhear it and repeat it to the guard.


Good luck to anyone who can't say the L sound.

The same way you can move even though numbers are infinite.
