Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Alan loves the girl who loves the man who loves Eve. Fay is loved by the man who is loved by the girl loved by Brian. Charles loves the girl who loves Donald. If Brian is not loved by Gwen, and the boy who is loved by Helen does not love Gwen, who loves Alan?
      See, this one is far too annoying for me to think about. Not only do I not care but intricate trial-and-error riddles are tedious.

        In this case she doesn’t. But why are we talking about Eve, it’s always about Alan isn’t it?

        Well, I release you from the obligation of solving this tedious puzzle. You can go play in the sandbox with the rest of the kids.

            Anileve, tell me if this is the right answer: Gwen loves Alan ... is that right? if it isn't, it's ok I'll just kill myself.

              I'd like to preserve your omniscient life. You are correct. How did you come up with that answer?

                Boys: ABCD
                Girls: EFGH

                A -> __ ->__ -> E
                B G B G

                B -> __ -> __ -> F
                B G B G

                C ->__ -> D
                B G B

                ( )=Not

                H -> ___ -> (G)
                G B G

                G->(B)

                G A
                D H

                F B

                C E

                The circle goes clockwise.



                G&B stand for girl and boy on the second lines. Tell me if you don't see what I did.

                    Let's give this another try, shall we?

                    CAPS = first initial (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)
                    lowercase = gender (g = girl/b = boy)

                    A -> g -> b -> E

                    _________B -> g -> b -> F

                    _________________C -> g -> D

                    So, the product is (just align the 3 lines above): A -> g -> B -> E -> C -> F -> D

                    At this point, there is only one variable (g) left, which can be either G or H. But since G doesn't love B [G -> (B)], then it cannot be G, and has to be H:

                    A -> H -> B -> E -> C -> F -> D

                    It works out, since H loves the boy who does not love G [H -> b -> (G)]

                    ( )=Not

                    And so you just place G at the beginning or end:

                    A -> H -> B -> E -> C -> F -> D -> G ->

                    Answer: Gwen loves Alan.


                    PS I had nothing better to do, so I typed all this out, hahaha. Whoooo!
