dubyagrip Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I know the rating, but this riddle is tough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 What a cool idea. I had a thought but would really only work in person, have a bunch of people blindfolded and try to squeeze a dynamometer to exactly 137 lbs. Could definitely be a fun silly comp event, grip precision instead of max strength. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number probably is easy to get but then there’s a function with it too, so if the function isn’t correct you might think your number is incorrect. I stopped trying haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some grippers off a friend and had him send to Cannon to get rated in their way here. I started to laugh when I seen the rating in the #3. So anyway, how many of you guys at the riddle so far? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And chatbot gpt was no help by the way, but I did have a really interesting theoretical conversation with ... it ... about the nature of riddles and different ways to think about them. Its guesses were probably as good as mine, but wrong also, and after a while I could tell it was not going to add anything helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C8Myotome Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I gave up at riddle 2 because whatever the answer is it's so obscure you can't use logic, or guess. I would have just re sold the gripper anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think everyone who tried should be sent a "participation gripper" congrats to whoever got it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
