Since you always lie none of the statements would be correct

B) Uhm, 6?

c) 10?

d) what happens when an immoveable object is struck by an unstoppable force?

Besides immoveable doesnt exist an unstoppable force will always move it (maybe just slight..)
But I guess nothing happens <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

At the beginning at time, I ended night
And when I was young,
I went ahead of racks to make signs in the road.
But now that I am a teenager
I like to stand in the middle of racetracks
And brave the horses coming at me.

My answer is: Space

Nope. Sorry, but not even close.

Rhuadin · November 2003

Conundrums aren't exactly riddles because they *have* no answers. Basically they're just silly little impossibilities of which people think -- and then there's no more thinking that needs to be done because they can't be answered. Example:

"There is a library called the Ultimate Library and in it a book called the Ultimate Referendum. This book indexes every book that doesn't contain its own title. Does the Ultimate Referendum index itself?"

Here's a REAL riddle. Try figuring this one out, I've NEVER met someone who could (who didn't already know the answer, that is):

"What does the USS Adams, a cold snap in Florida, and a hula hoop with a nail in it have in common?"

The answer:
They're all _____ _________.
