>__< I thought these were supposed to be riddles

but, that does make sense, since it's on the equator.

You see Dr. Sticks, The Earth isn't perfectly round. If it were then Mt. Everest would be the farthest point from the core.

You see Dr. Sticks, Michael Phelps isn't perfectly round. If he were then Mt. Chronic would be the highest point from the core.

Okay, fine, new riddle (the answer to my previous one was 53).

You are a landscape gardener. You have been asked by your client to plant four trees equidistant from one another (i.e. every tree is exactly the same distance from every other tree). How do you do it?

[Æron]

Build a tetrahedral pyramid. Plant a tree at the top and at each of the three corners.

[Doc Sigma]

It has to be a regular tetrahedron, though.

Yes. You could also dig a tetrahedral hole

A stranger invites you to play a game. You each have a large pile of pennies, all of which are the same size and shape. You take it in turns to play a single penny on a round table, ensuring that no pennies overlap. The game continues until one person cannot play their penny. The stranger offers to go first; however, you interject, because you know that if you go first you can guarantee victory. How?

[Doc Sigma]

Play a penny in the exact middle of the table. Then, whenever your opponent plays a penny, you can play the exact opposite of it -- thus, whenever your opponent is capable of playing a penny, you'll be capable of playing one as well.

RIDDLE TIME! A sundial is a timepiece with the least number of moving parts. What timepiece has the most number of moving parts?

[nickspoon]

An hourglass!
