After I invested your time here anybody wanna get me back with a good puzzle / riddle? (That's not akin to "What is the Meaning of Life?" smart-ass) LOL
2 - Duane
There are 1000 closed doors and there are 1000 people. Person 1 opens all the doors. Person 2 changes every other door, i.e., he closes doors 2,4,6, etc. Person 3 changes every 3rd door, i.e., he closes the 3rd door, opens the sixth, etc. This goes on until person 1000 changes the 1000th door -- opens it, if it was closed, closes it, if it was open. How many open doors are there after all 1000 people have done their thing?

That is awesome Duane - and I am going to literally sleep on it. I will come back to it. I could see me usign this in a novel.
4 - Aaman
Interesting stuff, Temple - will explore.
Incidentally, the term is "Excel file" - Word and Excel are two separate programs with different file formats. That may be a different kind of puzzle than the one you refer to.
5 - swingingpuss
Not another puzzle to drive me nuts. I already am having a tough time with that famous puzzle called - Petals Around the Rose.

quiz 4.1 here. Call it the muse
7 - Temple Stark
RE comment 2 - none?
8 - Keeler
Ok, I wrote it down... is that cheating?
The answer is 31. What ends up happening is that the doors that are left open are the perfect squares between 1 and 1000. I won't get into why it happens this way, but just try it out for yourself on a set of small numbers like say 1 to 10. You will see that door #1, door #4, and door #9 remain open.
Peace.

Oh yeah, I forgot to give the answer to #2. Keeler (#8) got it. For math geeks, the answer, for any number of doors (N) is
# open doors = int[sqrt(N)]
Right. Here's another one for math geeks (no calculators allowed).
Q: Which is greater, e^pi or pi^e ?*
* e is the base of the common logarithm, pi is, well, you know, and the ^ symbol means "raised to the power."
