The riddle of the sfinx

[schnickelphrits 0]

correct airacaz! thought that would take longer :D

[Shine 144]

dang, Im totally slow these days, everytime I check the forums someone solved it and (at least in this case) it was the answer I was going to give myself.

[airacaz 1]

A man worked at a high security institution. The man tried to log into his computer and the computer denied the password. He then remembered that the passwords to the computers were reset every month for security reasons. He called his boss for his new password. 
The man said, "Boss, my old password is out of date." 
The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is different, but if you listen closely you will be able to figure out the new one. Your new password has the same amount of letters as the old one, and four of the letters are the same." 
The man then logged into his computer with no trouble. What was the new password? What was his old?

Is the old one "out of date" and the new one "now in date"?

 

Not confident on this but think it could be something along these lines.

 

Edit ... new one is "different" and old one is "out of date"

Old password = out of date (9 letters)

New password = different (9letters)

Four letters the same = d f e t

Xinto can take my turn... I really just like guessing them

[Xinto 18]

Cheers Demyndra, but from the time stamps, you certainly got it first (just) =P

 

"Which word in the English language can you change from plural to singular by adding an 's' to the end?"

[EgoReaper 9]

Die (Plural for dice) into Dies (happening now version of the word die)

Unless we're talking the s makes it the single form of itself.

[Xinto 18]

Nice answer ... but no cigar

 

The 's' makes it into the singular form.

[Demyndra 6]

Princes -> Princess

[airacaz 1]

I'm not overly confident about spelling and grammar but I'm pretty sure cigars is the plural form

[Xinto 18]

I'm not overly confident about spelling and grammar but I'm pretty sure cigars is the plural form

 

 

Princes -> Princess

Correct, your turn.

[airacaz 1]

oh I'm an idiot I thought you were providing the answer xinto nevermind to what I said lol

[Demyndra 6]

I'm not overly confident about spelling and grammar but I'm pretty sure cigars is the plural form

Not sure if trolling...or.... :-D

 

 

Correct, your turn.

You hear the sound of glass breaking, Bobby and Tina are dead. What happened?

[EgoReaper 9]

Tiny Tina from borderlands got a little overzealous with her latest experiment and killed herself and her doll named bobby?

[Demyndra 6]

Tiny Tina from borderlands got a little overzealous with her latest experiment and killed herself and her doll named bobby?

Nope, and just to clarify the names were picked at random and have no connection or reference to anything (video game, movie, random book only 2 people have ever read,etc)

[airacaz 1]

bobby and tina have either fallen through a glass ceiling or jumped through a glass window to their deaths?

[Demyndra 6]

bobby and tina have either fallen through a glass ceiling or jumped through a glass window to their deaths?

Nope...

Going to edit the question a bit to help...

"You hear the sound of glass breaking and find a puddle of water, Bobby and Tina are dead. What happened?"

[airacaz 1]

oh tina and bobby are fish

[EgoReaper 9]

Nope, and just to clarify the names were picked at random and have no connection or reference to anything (video game, movie, random book only 2 people have ever read,etc)

I just wanted to give a fun answer lol. I knew it wasn't the case. Ya likely woulda heard more of a boom than breaking glass.

[Demyndra 6]

oh tina and bobby are fish

That is correct

[airacaz 1]

You're in a mansion and the power's out. You see a green door and a red door. Pick one (it doesn't matter which.) Now you see a purple door and a orange door. Pick one (again, it doesn't matter which you pick). Now you see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one. You finally come to some signs on three doors. One says "Death from drowning," another says "Death from machine guns," and the last one says "Death from electric chair." Then you see a big sign off to the side that says "Or stay in the mansion and starve to death." What do you choose and still live?

[Demyndra 6]

Death by Electric Chair...because the power is out!

[airacaz 1]
