Board 8 > Let's see if anyone can solve my memory riddle.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules: I will provide a paragraph. You can look at it only ONE time. After you've read it ONE time, attempt to answer my questions. Here is the riddle:

_________

Randy went to get his haircut at Skilled Cutz Barbershop located in an outdoor plaza. He walks through the shops transparent door and waits his turn. His time has come. As he sits down to get his haircut, he looks into the mirror to make sure the barber is doing a good job. While looking at and through the mirror, he sees several things. For example, he notices various photos of people alongside the mirror. One of the photos is of a woman named Sandy. He also is able to see the TV. The Eagles are losing. Under the TV is the front door, through where a customer wearing glasses enters. Painted on the closed door is the shops address which reads 8181. The glasses man then sits down and waits his turn while listening to his iPod Pro. Randys haircut ends and he owes $20. He then tips the barber $4.

__________

After you've read it ONE time, here are the questions:

1) what team is losing
2) what is the address of the store
3) who is there a picture of
4) what was the other customer listening to
5) was the other customer wearing contacts

Ligma

That is incorrect. So far you guys are 0/1.

Balls

Thats also incorrect. You are all now 0/2.

I remembered them all but the first one.

The quiz has a red herring.

ligma balls lol

People think it's 8181 because that's what it says. However, you need to remember he's looking through a mirror. That means it would actually be 1818. HOWEVER! He is seeing the address from the inside of the store, meaning you'd have to reverse it a second time. So it's 8181 after all.

Close, but 1818 is wrong.

All teams lose eventually.
The store is in a hypothetical scenario and lacks a physical location.
In this day and age, who isn't there a picture of?
We would need to see his music player to know this information. Whatever it is, it surely cost 30% more than it needed to.
Indeterminate. The presence of glasses does not necessarily preclude the use of contacts. To suggest otherwise would be visionist.

Those are good answers. I accept them.

First time thoughts:

It says he's looking through the mirror. To me that sounds like a one way mirror.

1) Eagles
2) 8181
3) Sandy
4) IPad Pro
5) No

After reading it again, it says it's in an outdoor plaza so how is there a TV and a door? Also, why is the door under the TV? Unless there are tall ceilings (if there are ceilings at all), that's going to mean a short door. So many questions...

Eagles
1818 (flipped)
Sandy
iPod Pro (which isn't a thing?)
Not sure but they were wearing glasses

That's dumb. If you see a word painted on the outside while you're inside, you don't read it reversed. You would reverse it yourself. Like you wouldn't read "rebrab" from the inside, you would read "barber".

But things in a mirror feel like they are in their natural order, so you do read them reversed.

TBF, it states that it has "8181" painted on it. Therefore, the address is 8181. It doesn't say that it is Randy's perception that it looks like 8181. Either the narrator (or Randy) has already accounted for any flipping that takes place by stating definitively that 8181 is painted on it.

Agreed. This reminds me of the other dumb riddle we had the other day that was just a poorly made riddle and there was no correct answer because of it.
