Title: The Raging Bull 2
Post by Iceman on Apr 22nd, 2008, 12:05pm

You want to box in the heavyweight category, but you’re 3 kilos short. You mention this to your friend while relaxing in the bar, and he replies that you’ll get the above kilograms in no time. Your friend likes riddles so he tells you the one below.


How could a boxer gain weight naturally by eating the least food?

What is the timeline we're looking at? How long does the heavyweight boxer wannabe have until he must weigh in?

The riddle isn’t directly connected to the introduction.

Not bad, but I’m not talking about astronauts here.

hmmm..... I think there are forms of [hide]meditation[/hide] that stops your body from using energy and therefore conserving all the food you eat.

Or maybe the opposite of [hide]liposuction[/hide]. Don't know if you can fight after that though

That would not be natural though...

How about [hide]eating food with a drop of plutonium[/hide]?

[hide]Drink salted water. The salt will make you retain the water. For three kilo's, three liters will suffice[/hide]

Dennis got a right answer there and DONT eat that much. if you eat you use 55% more energy then when you dont.
so if you want to lose weight you need to eat. Want to gain weight? eat nothin for 2 days. and drink lots and LOTS

Don't exercise, don't do any strenuous activities. Or rather, do not engage in any activity aside from eating and sleeping.

Actually, with the right exercise, you can add to your body weight. Stay away from the calory burning exercises, such as jogging and running. Instead, concentrate on muscle building modules, push ups, sit ups, stomach crunches, work with weights. It'll convert your loose fat into muscles, leaving 'empty' spaces for additional fats/carbs to be absorbed from food.

He can eat pellets of lead.  That doesn't count as food.  He has to eat them just before the match, because they will be discarded quickly.

Not sure about risks poisoning.  Don't try that at home.

Or he can go for surgery and become a woman.  ;D

Nope, but two riddlers are sort of on the right track. I won’t say which for now.

Ice, you didn't answer the question.. How long does he have to gain the three kilos?

There’s no limit here. Take as much time as you want, as long as it isn’t 10 years. No need to overdo it.

Perhaps it sounds a bit silly, but the riddle stands, as it isn’t connected to the introduction.

he lets his hair and beard grow. No more shaving or haircuts.

Do like Rocky. Put raw eggs in the blender and drink them. (technically your not eating them but drinking).

Post by JiNbOtAk on Apr 27th, 2008, 10:59pm
Inject about 0.11 litres of mercury into your boxing gloves ( per side ). That would add your mass to approximately 3 kg ( if my conversion is right. ) Of course, actually lifting your gloves to throw a punch is another story.. ( not to mention the broken bones your hands might suffer )  :P

Stop taking bath. Allow the dirt to accumulate on your body. Stop cutting your nails. Combine this with Denis's solution of no haircut or shaving. ;D

Whether you will be allowed to fight after this is another story... ;)

The Earth's rotation causes it to slightly bulge at the Equator. Moving to the North Pole (or for that matter, the bottom of the Marina Trench) should work. Even if it doesn't get you the full couple of kilos, you would still have to do less eating than otherwise.

I like this answer,  :o although I'm not aware of professional boxers 13 years old.  :P You're on the right track, buddy.

Wow, I went too lateral.  I tossed that one out...
"Nah, there are no lady boxers."  Literally what I thought.
