Hiya, sorry for the delay, had some real work to do....inconsiderate boss !

I'm not a spyware fighter I'm afraid, just dont have the time or patience.
I keep my PCs (all 12 of them, i'm a commited techie ) clean and I tend to get called to sort out mates and their parents PCs.

you havent got the riddle yet, its one of those that will make you kick yourself when you get it.

I know what you mean about saying you had other things to do,

I should be doing college work but I just cant get round to doing it, instead Im on here learning about Malware.

As for the riddle no still aint got it, and its bugging me now.

Bertha

dont worry theres nothing to it, you'll get it soon....

yep that is the answer.


"..........."


Correct

Im lost now????

How can you measure 1 gallon of juice out of a barrel, if all you have available is a 3-gallon and a 5-gallon pitcher?

Bertha

Of Course! The answer to Tony's riddle is - Nothing!



Bob

Bertha's Riddle,

1) Fill the 3 gallon, pour it into the 5 gallon. That leaves 2 gallons free space.

2) Fill the 3 gallon again, use it to fill the 5 gallon to the top, doing this will use 2 gallons out of the 3 gallon pitcher.

3) What you have left in the 3 gallon is - 1 gallon!



Bob

Bertha's 'GRY' riddle,

Took a little longer, but of course, you already told us;

Angry and hungry are two of them

Thus, 'hungry' is the third word!



Bob

WRONG - sorry.

EEK!

Okay, back to the drawing board!

<Edit: I Read Chris' answer on page 1! D'Oh!

Hey now after some thinking during work on Saturday:

I finally got Tony's Riddle.

The answer is "Nothing" I think and after reading this forum again I think I am right in saying this as follows:

Nothing is greater than God
Nothing is more evil than the devil
The rich want for Nothing
The poor have Nothing
If you eat Nothing you will die

nice 1 Bertha&Cowboy, yous got it.

That gallon riddle was on an apptitude test I once did at an interview....

What job required you to answer a riddle?

I know I would have been stumped and would have taken far to long for them.

I mean look how long it took me to get your riddle Tony, nearly 2 days (a little slow for an interview)
