[mangaddict_reborn]

okay so the correct way to solve it is
SIX.IX.XL
-IX...X...L
________
S....I...X

and as for the code, well I had an answer but I confused myself.

Okay time to breathe with an easy one
#11 Kimmie-chan who was roomates with Luna Blanca, came home from an exhausting day of A-S, regulating anime and manga distribution and what not. Choosing not to pay for her sattelite tv (they are both stingy about property after the whole egg incedent) decides as she usually does, to cross into Luna Blanca's side and watch hers. Unfortunately for Kimmie, it would seem Luna figured out that Kimmie was bumming off of her and locked it. All she needed to do was punch in one password. The clue box read "This word is heavy, but when reversed, it's not". Help Kimmie get past this annoyance so she can proceed to watching her "Fushigi Yuugi" marathon on AZN.

ton... sounds about right
edit> Freaky... we're actually saying the same thing

[mangaddict_reborn]

Hey, anybody miss me? Long time no see. Very busy my life is, and computer deprived I am.

The answer is ton

ddog432 was close to finding the criminal responsable for the break in of A-S's manga safe. Very close. His sources told him that the thief was probably hiding all the manga in some abandoned building of some sort. While driving to an abandoned oil factory that was believed to be where the manga was being held, he drove behind a group of cyclists. They dispersed, leaving only one cyclist in front of him. ddog432 honked his horn several times but the orange haired cyclist continued to ride his bike infront of ddog's car. The cyclist tossed an object behind him and it smashed into ddog's windshield, landing the back of the car. ddog turned forward only to find the cyclist to disappear. The object than began speaking.
"I am the one who has stolen all of your manga. If you ever want it back you're going to have to play my game. Answer the following riddle incorrectly and this message will explode, taking out everything in 1 block. Answer the following riddle correctly and you'll live another day to find me. You cannot mix me with water, I can lube anything dry, and if you're not paying attention, I can crush you with my ton of mass and velocity. You have twenty seconds."
ddog freaked out. He could throw bomb out the window and save himself but to risk hurting everyone else on the road: cars, cyclists, pedestrians and all. Help ddog supply the right answer to save everyone on the street.

If you can figure this out, I'll be very impressed. Ofcourse I'll also need an explanation with your answer.

Oil? Because I learned from the food network in most cases you're not supposed to mix oil and water. If anything rusty or dry, oil is usually the common medicine. A ton of [petroleum] oil, when burned, releases about 42 GigaJoules of energy.

No but good guess. This is kind of an unfair question. Probably only someone as strange as me knows the answer.

[mangaddict_reborn]

lol, didn't see that coming,
you're closer than vboi, i'll give you that much.

You know me, I love to spill hints everywhere :P

[mangaddict_reborn]

dead thread...

the answer is "oil". Oil is also a term for "watch out there's a car behind you" or possibly just "car". Cyclists when traveling in a flock keep the responsible one in the back, and if he/she sees a car pulling up behind them, the cyclist will shout "oil!"

There is no new question.

that was quite the stretch

I know, I'm cool like that.
I wonder if anyone is weird enough to answer my challenges?
Maybe if nobody_here ever shows up again.

Those are some great puzzles. How about this one.

A high school has a strange principal. On the first day, he has his students perform an odd opening day ceremony:

There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the process is completed with the thousandth student, how many lockers are open?

well for number ten. I'm just going to guess.

IX from SIX=S
X from IX=I
L from XL=X
SIX

then for second part.

Over from Clover= CL
CL=150
onefivezero=11 letters.

Thanks and, yeah you're right.

ummm... I think I heard that one before, and if I can recall, the answer is 15. But trying to understand why, let's see... I think the lockers that are perfect squares will be left open and they add together to be 15. Of course, I don't want to actually do the work
