Solution To The Super Brain Threads

Here's the solution to the Super Brain threads.

We stop feeding the troll. Eventually, the thread falls off the page. If he
bumps it, we report him for bumping and can legitimately have the thread
deleted.

The reason I started a new thread and a petition is so I am not contributing
to the threads in question.

Please folks. Stop feeding the troll. Let him go away or force him to bump it
and have it deleted...finally.

There is NO answer to the questions. At least no logical one. He's just
stringing us along for whatever amusement he's getting out of this.

I for one, am not amused and I'm tired of it.

If you're tired of it too...stop feeding the troll.

This is the last thing I have to say on this subject. If the mods feel the need
to delete this thread (wouldn't that be ironic) so be it. But this needed to be
said.

    Starting to get on my nerves too. I think we should give him the opportunity to tell us the answers (if there are any) just in case, then do exactly what you said Steven.
    (Nice to see you back posting again by the way.)

    Actually - I think it's an English as a second language question. What might make sense from another language's perspective of the word "house" isn't making it in English.

    Frankly - I decided not to feed that troll a long time ago. It might even be a joke for the guy to watch people burn their brains trying for a stinking 50 bucks. The way he keeps raising it a buck sure makes it look like he's having fun with that factor. I used to go in to see if he actually is building up a post count on the forum.

    Whatever. I don't care who posts in there and I don't care if he's "stopped" or not. I didn't care two whits about it, so just left it alone. Seems to me just as silly to post threads about "stopping" that thread. Just stop posting and reading if it upsets you Steve. Not sure why we need to make a class action suit out of it for cripes sakes. I

    Steven! I saw you in another thread a few minutes ago. How many threads can you be in at the same time? Please demonstrate the answer in truths. You have FREEDOMS of thought.

    Since it was in the off topic forum and was extremely off topic, I thought it was all in good fun.

    It's not like he's clogging up the main forum with the mindless dribble. At least it was more interesting than the stock standard zero post questions such as "How do I make money online?" or "Which is better godaddy or hostgator?" .

      I wish the people that post the questions such as "How do I make money online?" or "Which is better godaddy or hostgator?" would post them in the main forum.

    I got the impression he/she/it got those questions from some course he/she/it was doing in metaphysics or mumbo-jumbo or something else, and he/she/it was hoping we'd come up with the answer(s) for him/her/it.

      Yeah, that's a possibility . . . I thought maybe there was a contest somewhere and s/he was fishing for the answer. This isn't the only site s/he has posted this, so s/he is fishing in more than one watering hole for the answer. I'm guessing no one gets paid unless s/he sends an accomplice around to make it look like someone got paid.

    He has posted the exact same tripe on other Forums,
    the only difference is that he has been deleted on one
    and people on those forums seem to
    have ignored him so far...

    ============================================
    "There is NO answer to the questions". Really?
    Just the same as " Human can walk on the Moon. NO WAY. CRAZY. MAD...!". A very long time ago. Everyone (not all) thought like that. Until Armstrong, Neil Alden appeared. And everyone ...!...

    However, I have to say the questions I asked not HUGE like that.
    Just Interesting Questions. And simple...
    And Now I really admire people who created what i am asking. And waiting for a Winner who can figure out.

    "If you answer let me know
    If you don't then let they do..."
    (Borrowed from a song of Elvis Presley"

    Thanks anyway. (Although I have never asked ALL PEOPLE to join this , just the same as American's Got Talent, not all US Citizens forced to join. ).

      No, many people do not want to figure it out. The majority of those responding here are not interested at all in figuring it out or your paltry reward.

      ================================================== ========
      Now your spilling your tripe into other threads?
      My hope has been that the mods would come delete your threads and ban you. I actually looked up all your posts since you joined the forum and in one you were actually pimping out for a friend of yours (or it may be for you,just claiming it was a friend). I reported that post as SPAM Advertising in the hopes that it would get your account N/Aed. I still hope a mod will come take care of it.

    Ah, come on. It's all in good fun, Steven. It's obviously a lark on trphebk's part.
    And now it's a lark on everyone's part. Of course, explaining the joke ruins the

      I like a good joke as much as anybody else. The problem is, this one isn't funny.
      There's only one answer to this question. But the OP will just keep stringing us
      along until eventually we get tired of it.

      I got tired of it a long time ago.

      Sorry, maybe I lost my funny bone this week but I'm just not getting this one.

        There's no answer. Nothing anyone says will be good enough. The question, as HeySal stated in the thread, is a koan ( K ). Just like a law school professor, s/he'll just keep changing the question with the same rambling nonsense.

        When someone's playing a game you can't win, you change the game. That's exactly what's happening here.

        You have a valid point, though. It would be tiresome if you were treating the thread at face value.

          I've totally avoided those threads - except to read and laugh at the responses - until he misquoted Elvis. We can't have that stuff going on here.

          I think it's hilarious to read the responses - and realize the only person not getting the jokes is the OP.
