@TrustworthyPartyPerson seems really nice though!

(And I going to waste one saying) * comfortable was some kind of autocorrect

BakeOffRewatch · 17/08/2021 22:57

We could make 100 comfortable comments

Do you mean comfortable like a nice plush sofa in the thread

Or comfortable like in everyone chilling out in our underwear together

Or comfortable like we’re leaving the thread bathroom door open when in use

@BakeOffRewatch

Another riddle to go with toast? This one is my fav and I can’t wait until my baby is old enough for us to share these.

*
There are 2 trees in a garden (tree "A" and "B") and on the both trees are some birds.

The birds of tree A say to the birds of tree B that if one of you comes to our tree, then our population will be the double of yours.

Then the birds of tree B tell to the birds of tree A that if one of you comes here, then our population will be equal to that of yours.

Now answer: How many birds in each tree?

My brain just pulled a hamstring. 🤯

Because I’ve always wanted a Loaf sofa they look so comfy

NigellaSeed · 17/08/2021 23:00

We could make a sofa out of bread, sure why not.

And a liquorice foot stool.

I'd like a reading lamp made from Parma ham.

Imagine if we just filled this up overnight before salsa comes back in the morning Grin

Toast for all

NigellaSeed · 17/08/2021 23:01

How many birds were there?

BakeOffRewatch · 17/08/2021 23:08

Well you know they’re +1 or -1 away from being the same number, so from that you know that there’s only a difference of two between the original number of birds on each branch.

BakeOffRewatch · 17/08/2021 23:10

I don’t think we could do 80 messages in a night. That’s about 22 posts each. Unless some oldcomers return? @AlCalavicci?

KurtWilde · 17/08/2021 23:15

salsa would be super cross if we didn't leave her at least a few posts before 1k anyway

BakeOffRewatch · 17/08/2021 23:16

Think we should save it for a big Friday night wild one

KurtWilde · 17/08/2021 23:18

I second that 👍🏻

BakeOffRewatch · 17/08/2021 23:29

If @UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa doesn’t fill it all up with her wisdom before Friday that is 😆. I’m off to bed too, goodnight.

KurtWilde · 17/08/2021 23:32

I'm off to bed too, I'm full of toast and my cosy cupboard is calling me.

BakeOffRewatch · 17/08/2021 23:32

Sorry one more comment to help @NigellaSeed … you also know that a change of 1 makes one branch double that of the other I.e. an even number. So it must originally have had an odd number of birds. And cos the other branch is two less, that is an odd number too.

So odd numbers that are two difference.. work from 1 up.

@BakeOffRewatch

There isn't an answer to that maths question..you just have made that up...like all the other maths equations..

Sweetpea1532 · 17/08/2021 23:49

I wonder if this thread has done
@JMAngel1 's head in yet...almost 1000 posts about nothing

NigellaSeed · 18/08/2021 06:43

Okay I've thought and thought. I've thought for 7hrs. 7 and 5?

UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa · 18/08/2021 06:57

I'm not sure this thread can make it to Friday (the day, not the horse). That would involve everyone showing some restraint. Is that even possible?

KurtWilde · 18/08/2021 09:28

If we all just creep around the thread maybe we can save a few posts for a massive rave up on Friday? I'll make the cocktails if someone can handle the nibbles? I say we get a water slide and a foam machine too.
