Because of the number of daily deciders that are going to be involved in Love Island (one every other day :eek: ) and because of the types of deciders they are, I thought it might be fun to discuss how the Islanders got on with them after the results are revealed.
What did you all thing of the Initial Task last night? Different? Good way to start?
Yup, a nice way to get the new celeb. in.. Though she already went in (then got taken out):lol:
lol Spicy - she wasn't supposed to be in there ! :rotfl: But shhh - don't tell anyone :rotfl: Bit of a technical error there!! :rotfl:
I want to know the answers to the riddles...
Decider #2 Siobhan:
They were:
I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody.
Pencil Lead
What goes round the house and in the house but never touches the house?
The Sun
What is it that you can keep after giving it to someone else? Your Word
What walks all day on its head? A Nail in a Horseshoe
What gets wet when drying? A Towel
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years? The Letter M
What is round as a dishpan, deep as a tub, and still the oceans couldn't fill it up? A sieve
The more you take, the more you leave behind. What are they? Footsteps
He who has it doesn't tell it. He who takes it doesn't know it. He who knows it doesn't want it. What is it? Counterfeit/fake money
Brothers and sisters have I none but that man's father is my father's son. My son
Who spends the day at the window, goes to the table for meals and hides at night? A Fly
What goes round and round the wood but never goes into the wood? The Bark of a Tree
There was also going to be a tie breaker riddle, which would have been:
A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?
"Brothers and sisters have I none but that man's father is my father's son. My son"
You got this wrong.. the answer is himself!!!
Well, the people who got 12 out of 12 must have got it from the same website as me thenQuote:

Answer: I am my fathers son, so that mans father must be me. So that man must be my son.
Which is the original answer I gave, but also explains how My Son is the answer
no no!! the man in the picture is himselfQuote:

Your father's son can not be your own son.. it doesn't make sense :searchme::searchme:
This is making my head hurt cause the answer MY SON doesn't make any sense to me
That mans father = me (i am my fathers son)
It does get confusing when it talks about my in is my fathers son, but its the right answer...i've googled it and found several sites with exactly the same answer. And it does make sense to me, although I'd never have got it unless I googled it :D
Oh My God my head hurts from readin this!
Totally dont understand :searchme:
Yeah I googled it too and it gave the same answer that didn't make sense to me. so I am here with a pic of Ben prentend to be his dad to see if it makes sense and yes it does..Quote:

Watch in a moment, things will change!!
See it spells China!!!
I'm glad everyone is enjoying the deciders - Fearne has just put another example up for George too - I'm enjoying setting these little tasks for everyone, and one thing I like, is that everyone can join in if they want to (although keeping those answers secret until after the end of the task)
More great ones to come :D
I have done the last two.. Can't wait to see if I am rightQuote:

this is just a guess.. the horse is 10ft long and it is tied to his leg so he can still reach the hay???Quote:

Ok then this is my second choice.. the horse is on a rope 15 foot but the hay is 25 ft away from where he is now.... if he moved across to the hay (he has a diameter of 30ft) he can reach the hay???Quote:

OOHH head hurts with new decider.. I have got 3 so far but will keep at them.. good work again guys.. I love this deciders... (beat pacman :rotfl::rotfl: )
The nasty thing with this decider is that I have my answers, anything but the answers I have will not be classed as correct (although if one word out of the two are correct, a point will be scored)Quote:

Excellent decider again.. got most of them, including why that number is very unique..
Me thinks I'm gonna have to post an extra hard one next time :ninja:
You're all too clever! :rotfl: Unless some answers have been searched, even though I do request not to, to make it more fun....:hmm:
:rotfl:
If it's any consellation Ems I knew hardley any of them :lol: I thought the pairing one was easy though ^_^
Had to pop a couple of easy ones in there although looking at the answers I've received, we must have straight A students in there...Quote:
