I've tried it twice now, got it the second time. It's a fun game. And nice and short

I think it's a benefit that once you've guessed it, or failed, of course, it's over. No endless levels, just wait for the next day

Exactly, it's a perfect time killer. One and done. And I suppose it can help teach self-control, in context of instead of speeding through words, you have the finite chances and thus must be more conservative with your thinking/guesses.
Apparently New York Times just bought it....so the good times may be at an end :O

Aye. There's already some clones out there. Reddit slightly ruined it for me; someone cracked through the source code and found the answers list to every single one, going up to fifty years from now.

Aww, that's a shame.
Also, impressive it went that far ahead. I though it was just randomly generated or something.

Right??? It might end up recycling and randomizing itself at some point for all I know....still fun to do though!
We've also started moving onto traditional word puzzles. We started with this one on these two rooms. In one room is an incandescent light and in the other is three switches. Your goal is to figure out which switch turns the light on with the twist being you can only check once if the light is on.
How do you determine if it's on?
And no, for whatever reason, you cannot tell if the light is on from under the door crack.
Answer:
Hold up, hang on, give it another few seconds!!! The big hint here is that it's an incandescent lightbulb, i.e. an old lightbulb that illuminates by heating up filament. You flip the first switch on and leave it for a minute or two, then shut it off, flip the second switch and immediately check the other room. If the light is on, then it's switch 2; if the bulb is off but warm, you know it's switch 1. If it's neither, then it must be the third switch. Assuming you're not in the midst of a blackout.

Haha, that's a classic. I have heard the answer as a kid, so I already knew it.
It reminds me of another well-known riddle with closed doors:

It reminds me of another well-known riddle with closed doors:
A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven’t eaten in 3 months.
Which room should he choose to have the best chance of staying alive?

I emit a chaos field which distorts time and space and creates chaos everywhere around me. That's why my room is always a mess.

Ayyyy!!! How goes it?
Hm.....ahh, yeah, I think I know it. The third one with the lions, right? Because if they haven't eaten for that long, odds are they've starved.
.....poor kitties </3
Today's was "I'm tall when I'm young and short when I'm old. What am I?"

*claps* Very good!
Admittedly, I'm pretty terrible with solving riddles, but I do enjoy them. Unless they sketchy logic to them.
@Kitty it's all good!
You guys should definitely see Uncharted if you can.
