this might be really simple for you guys, but dunno.

what one thing is necessary for human life to begin, but in turn is also the sole cause of the ending of human life?

the answer cannot be god.
 
I don't know, but really nice OC on that 2400+ mobile. :) You got an SP 97 on that baby?

Back to the riddle: Time?

let's test that out, shall we?

riddle: you have 2 boxes of cookies. each box has 20 cookies in it. you can only take cookies out in pairs. how many times can you take 2 cookies out of a 20-cookie box?

overclock: my barton 2500+ is running at 2205mhz.. what hsf am i using?
 
Oo! Oo! Lemme try!

riddle: cookies come in JARS, not boxes silly!

heatsink: You aren't using any! Your computer will soon shutdown and your processor will be fried.

Answer: 20

Unless I'm missing something, take one cookie out of each box, since you have a total of 40, and that gives you 20 times

wrong on the riddle. (it's partially a word problem)

although you are right in your response to the hsf, that's not a correct answer to the question :)
 
hsf is stock

cookies is infite cuz you can always put the cookies back in

wrong on hsf, good call though :)

technically, you are right on the cookies, but the answer i was looking for was 11 (which is the only correct answer if i had made it explicit that you can't put them back in). there go my dreams of being professional riddle writer :(
 
11? You can only do it once, because once you take 2 cookies out, it becomes an 18 cookie box :)

EDIT: How would it be 11 anyways? 20/2 = 10.

wow... you have lame dreams
My dreams usually involve

Last time we went to the zoo ^_^
I rode the llama.
 
yeah, only guessed that because thats what i have mine running. with no thermal paste. oh yeah, living on the dangerious geek side.

but as for outside the box. its pretty lonley but that goes away when i laugh at the people inside the box.

wait a min. people living in a cookie box!

so then, im guessing its a cheap replacement cuz your stock one went poof
