You have 9 pigs, and 4 pens. You must place the pigs in the pens that each has an odd number of pigs.

3 in 1
3 in 2
3 in 3
0 in 4

I guess 0 is arguably even, though. But oh well

Nope!

Are the pens pig-pens as in a caged area for the pigs, or are they writing pens?

9 in 1
0 in 2
0 in 3
0 in 4

This isn't possible with 4 pens, 9 pigs, and only odd numbers.

Joe · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2005, 07:40:55 pm »

Sure it is.

Ergot, thats like deadlys pic! You totally had no right doing that with my joke!~

EDIT -
AIM/MSN/YIM/PM me for the answer.

Hint: They add up to more than 9.
Hint: They aren't all equal.
Hint: For this puzzle, 0 is an even number.

Hint: They add up to more than 9.

Then your riddle is wrong?

Joe · « **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2005, 04:35:28 pm »

Again, contact me for the answer. Man, I can't believe none of you can get this.

deadly7 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2005, 04:42:47 pm »

Well your riddle is fucking stupid.
You can't say "you have 9 pigs" and then say "you can have more than 9 pigs"

Joe · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2005, 08:37:42 pm »

No, I said that the pens add up to more than 9, not that there are more than 9 pigs. Why don't you ask for the answer before calling my riddle stupid, seeing as how you clearly aren't making any effort to solve it.

Ergot · « **Reply #15 on:** August 20, 2005, 08:46:54 pm »

Well if you put it that way...

Then this is a very stupid riddle :/

rabbit · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2005, 10:54:11 pm »

Fine. Allow me to correct how your riddle sucks:

Quote from: Joe[x86] on August 19, 2005, 03:14:18 am

4 pens

You said they, you didn't address if it was the pigs or the pens.

Joe · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2005, 03:18:33 am »

I thought that by saying 9, you would understand. Yes, more than 9 addresses the pigs.

Ergot, your on the right track.

Ergot · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2005, 03:22:26 am »

[[[[9]]]]
or
[4[2[2[1]]]]

Joe · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2005, 03:24:26 am »

Congrats!

I was actually looking for [ [ XXX ] [ XXX ] [ XXX ] ], which adds up to 18 (good game, deadly), but your answer is basically the same.
