Congrats on hitting 100!  Let's make it to 200!

Next riddle:

It's palindrome time!
(A palindrome is a word or phrase that is spelled the same way forward as it is backward.  Example: Madam, I'm Adam)

Some argue this is true about the number zero:

_ _ _ _ _   _ _ _   _ _   _ _ _ _

[VQ]

Easy:

Spoiler:

The answer is the palindrome: Never odd or even

Though some argue that's not entirely true.

[eworm]

Hm, I was taught that zero is an even number.

VQ again?!

[Kogorou]

Yeah VQs turn
@ eworm - zero is neiter even nor odd.
Zero is a special number

[Akonyl]

Yeah VQs turn
@ eworm - zero is neiter even nor odd.
Zero is a special number

and before you say "it's wikipedia", check one of the many many articles cited in it.

Lol, the image in this article and its description left me laughing ^^

Let's move this discussion elsewhere or drop it.
This is not the place for this kind of discussion!

We're just waiting for VQ to drop by.

Easy one:

Spoiler:

You find a riddle about a sequence of figures in an old book, but because the paper is too old, some parts of the figures are not visible.
Try to find the next figure of the sequence:

But paper wouldn't leave dot-like indentations on the skin.

it does if it's all crumpled up and you're jabbin yourself with the pointy corners

And I find it more amusing that you took aly's hint to mean "I fall asleep with paper all the time" :V

Anyway, new easy riddle:

After a battle, many soldiers are checked into the hospital for serious injuries. Among 100 injured soldiers, there are 70 who lost an eye, 85 who lost an arm, 80 who lost a leg, and 75 who lost an ear.

Some unfortunate soldiers lost all four of those things. It's not all bad though, because the minimum number of soldiers possible lost all four. How many soldiers lost all of those things?

Question about above while the minimum might be 2X5, this is my problem with that as the answer it means all soldiers were hurt. Granted the max of all gives the possibility on 15 being unhurt at all. So if you weight the injuries like this : Unhurt - 4, one injury - 3, two injury - 2, three injury - 1 all injury - 0, then using that riddle max the weight so you have the least hurt and the max weight

A circle? it seems like you are do for a curve shape. Sorry about the game RL hit my system for a few days.
