Think, if you are in the dessert, what do you want more than anything else to survive?

Some fine champagne probably. Fits when the meal is over and you are in the dessert.

Seriously, there are hands in the watch, and many clockwork pieces i guess. But i don't see any trick on words with that.

I've got it mate!
you must allways carry around a watch, because it has a spring!

Ok, a creative thinking puzzle:
two men come to a river, neither of them can swim, but fortunately there's a boat, unfortunately it barely has place for one person. it is known that they both did get across, tell me how they did it, considering you cant go around the river, and can't vross it without using the boat.

Exactly! Because it has a spring! Here is a nice desert for you for answering that riddle correctly! k:



As for your riddle, I have no idea

[Lonely Vazdru]

Maybe they tie a rope to the boat (assuming they have one) and then the first man crosses with the boat. Then he disembarks and the other man gets the boat back by pulling the rope. And he can use it to cross the river. Without a rope i have no idea. Unless the first one kills the second then eats him. Then crosses. :twisted:

[a1s]

that wan't the answer I had in mind. and definetly no rope.

[ReamusLQ]

one sits on the shoulders of the other?

Or there is a bridge

Or one guy holds onto the back while the other rows across

Or the water is waist deep so one pushes the boat while the other rides?

[a1s]

no.
and if there was a brige/or one could push a boat waist deep- the river would be crossible without the boat, which you know you can't.

I'm having a mental image of "Robin Hood Men in Tights"

"This is not exactly the Mississippi! Look! I'm on one side, now I'm on the other side...now I'm on one side, now I'm on the other side!"

hehe..."Sorry, a tolls a toll and a rolls a roll. If we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls... I made that up myself..."

[a1s]

try to think about where those two are. (that should either be too much of a hint or not at all, but I couldn't come up witha nyting better)

[ReamusLQ]

the river is very narrow, so one person jumps in the boat, then jumps across to the other side, then the other person does :bleh: I have no idea
