How about this idea: It like a great show that might only happen once is on TV. After making the TV tuned the best you can, it is still not enough, and you either get a very grainy picture, or only snow. So you go up on the roof to see if you can fix the problem, and like so many comic scenes, you end up almost falling off with the antenna before the picture comes in prefect.

I guess that some event is happening on line now and this is not only a once in a lifetime event, but also a life changing event. However, like the TV, the event can not be seen because the Wifi is down. She might be receiving a very week 4G signal, and like TV come to the source to try and fix it. Only for it to go wrong and she gets killed. Or maye they are putting up an antenna to improve the Signal, how ever the BOOM hit and kills her because he lost control of it for a brief moment (anyone who has sailed, and Jived, know how hard a metal pole can hit you [WEAR A HELMENT])
Omg what a story. ;D

Well done! Let's say she was unlucky. Your turn. :)

Yay 200! \o/

I don't have a riddle yet, and I think it should be a special one since we reached the 200th page. :) Let's see if I can give it within the next 48 hours...

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." - Denis Waitley

Sorry, I'm actually quite busy right now and I couldn't think of a special riddle (I was planning to make a case but I guess that would have to wait...). For now, here's a random short riddle I thought about. :)

How do you make this equation correct (without adding numbers)?

80 + 72 = 232

That's easy enough. :P

80+ -72 = 2*3+2
With the asterisk being a multiplication sign, of course.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that operators aren't needed (you just need to add something to make it true in a certain context).

Another example:

80 + 40 = 200

First example (for reference):

80 + 72 = 232

EDIT
Note:
The solution to both examples should be the same. In other words, you just need to add the same 'thing' to both examples to make them true.

No. :V


80 + 72 = 232
80 + 40 = 200
30 + 30 = 100
50 + 11 = 101


You just need to add something to make them true in a certain context.

Hint:
Try actually adding them. :V

I didn't think it would be that hard... :x

No the answer but 50 + 11 = 61 , Six in binary is 110 One would be 001, 61 is 111101 if you subtract one from the six it looks like this 101 which is Five, Eleven is 1011

I know no help

Nope.


Last example I'm going to give... :V

80 + 72 = 232
80 + 40 = 200
30 + 30 = 100
50 + 11 = 101
100 + 80 = 300

Again, try adding them and look for a pattern. :V

if we add "the" above we get 240
We would need 220 to get to 300 :)

120 + 100 + 80 = 300

120 + 100 + 80 = 300
Spoiler:
80+80+(80/2)+(80/2) = 240/2 = 120
That solves the last equation .
So there we have the solution :)

80 + 80 + 72 = 232
========== 80 : 1 solved ==============

80/1 + 80 + 40 = 200
========== 160 (80) : 2 solved ==============

(80/2) + 30 + 30 = 100
========== 200 (40) : 3 solved ==============

((80+(80/2))/3) + 50 + 11 = 101
========== 240 : 4 solved ==============

80+80+(80/2)+((80+(80/2))/3) + 100 + 80 = 300

It seems interesting but the equations I gave were just random and they have nothing to do with each other... I said you were in the right track earlier because finding such patterns will lead to the real solution. :)

About the hint I gave ('Try adding them'), I meant that you should try adding them separately.
