soulcrates 07-Sep-06, 16:16	Perhaps it is a race Or an emergency, and they need supplies. There were more holes in that question than in our universe. lol, just a space joke. Ok to stick with the riddles, here's one: Not easily pictured am I. Elusive like the breath of a sigh. 24 square faces in multiple dimensions and spaces. 8 cubes of ice for a drink that's quite nice. 32 edges; not silly green hedges. 16 vertices all bathing in the seven seas. by 8 hyperplanes I am bound; yes my description is sound. What am I?

soulcrates 07-Sep-06, 16:27	Nice try! Close but no cigar.
soulcrates 07-Sep-06, 21:45	Here's a hint. It is to the cube, as calculus is to algebra.
mozz 07-Sep-06, 22:16	a hypercube?
soulcrates 08-Sep-06, 00:40	Please elaborate, Mozz. I'm not sure what a hypercube is exactly.
mozz 08-Sep-06, 02:42	Apparently, it is a normal cube extended into the fourth dimension. I tried to conceptualise it but I got a headache and had to grab a beer. en.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">-> en.wikipedia.org
eldude 08-Sep-06, 18:35	a water molucule? (I doubt that im right)
soulcrates 08-Sep-06, 19:27	Mozz, that is the correct answer. Answer: A Tesseract. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. It is four dimensional, as a cube is in three dimensions. A tesseract is bounded by eight hyperplanes (xi = ±1). Each pair of non-parallel hyperplanes intersects to form 24 square faces in a tesseract. Three cubes and three squares intersect at each edge. There are four cubes, six squares, and four edges meeting at every vertex. All in all, it consists of 8 cubes, 24 squares, 32 edges, and 16 vertices.
zorroloco 02-Oct-06, 17:50	what word in english can have four of its five letters removed and still retain its original pronunciation? there are at least two...
soulcrates 02-Oct-06, 17:58	Queue That is one.
zorroloco 04-Oct-06, 20:08	aitch aitch is the other
zorroloco 04-Oct-06, 20:16	a woman goes into a hardware store to buy something for her house. the clerk tells her, "one costs twelve cents, forty-four costs twenty-four cents, and the price for a hundred and forty-four is thirty-six cents. what does the woman want to buy?
soulcrates 04-Oct-06, 21:05	Aitch? Is it really a word, or just onomatopoeia? The only definition I've found was "it's the letter H".
zorroloco 04-Oct-06, 21:07	aitch  /eɪtʃ/ Pronunciation Key - –noun the letter H, h. [Origin: ME ache < OF
soulcrates 04-Oct-06, 21:11	Jeff, again What word is that? You said what "two" words are spelled the same as they sound, and I gave you Queue, which is a line of people or time to act in a play. You said aitch was the other one, but your definition is that aitch is only the pronunciation of the letter H and not a word by itself. Again, I ask you what word is aitch? Perhaps I'm missing something.
zorroloco 04-Oct-06, 21:14	aitch it is the name of the letter. see where it says it is a noun. that means it is a word, right? most of the nouns i know are also words : )
soulcrates 04-Oct-06, 22:05	Then every letter is a word. Is that what I am understanding? As long as it's in the phonetic spelling and not just the letter, it's a word?

leo_london 05-Oct-06, 07:17	According to the National Association Of Writers, the spelling of letters goes... Ay Bee Cee Dee Ee Eff Gee Aitch Eye Jay Kay Ell Emm Enn O Pee Queue Are Ess Tee U Vee Double-u Ex Why Zed. I have rarely seen any of them actually used, apart from aitch, double-u and zed...the last one Americans spell zee.
jaymar 05-Oct-06, 07:25	Well leo.. I use jay (my first initial). mar? the first three letters of my wifes name. Just in case you were interested : ).
leo_london 05-Oct-06, 07:30	jay...using that formula, mine would be elldee...sounds ok.
jaymar 05-Oct-06, 10:51	sounds.. ..very good leo. We all need to remember whats important.
soulcrates 05-Oct-06, 12:27	Mine would be Johmar
