Since absolutely no one continues this thread, I will.

If you're standing on the floor in blue shoes, what color are the bottoms of your shoes at that moment?

And yes... the obvious answer is wrong.

To Toon Dog: actually I have no idea. It isn't the ABC code, because replacing it like ABC gives nonsense.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

The floor's colour doesn't matter.

Using the calculator code gives something similar to "EIEIO" but not quite. :lol:

I think it depends on what's your definition of: what color an object has. Is it only a property of that object which is always the same, or does it depend on what color(s) of light are reflecting by it at the moment. For your question is: what color are the bottoms of your shoes at that moment?, I suppose it's the second definition, so the answer will be: No color, or black. :D

As always, you're correct! It does depend on what rays of light it deflects. You can check that viewing something in a bright electrical light or under the street lights in the night.

speegled, if I'm right it says "THAT IS AWESOME" which can be seen if you apply a little... no, a lot of imaginatiom. :lol:

Mine was the back-then fitting:
happy new year
The numbers and symbols if you look at their positions on the keyboard, give you the "coordinates" of each letter. The first column is 1QAZ.

Here's an easier one, if you want it:

Put a coin on the table and put a glass over it.
Now, how can you get the coin without moving the glass yourself?

Cut a hole under the table and retrieve the coin?

If that's right, answer this one.

Does that mean the glass may not be moved at all? Otherwise you can ask someone else. 8)

You ARE clever, aren't you?! :lol:
Yes, you just ask someone else.

If speegled's is an obscured anagram it's "knight" but I'm not sure it's that simple. :lol:

An evil dude looks at a penny.
If the penny is green,
and the codfish on the ceiling is not important,

Why?
