Title: Perfection
Post by alien2 on Nov 27^th, 2016, 3:13am

Can we design perfection from imperfection? I say yes.

[hide] I am perfection[/hide]

meaning

Alien2 is a perfect riddle maker?

Thanks for the nice compliment. Though usually women think they are perfect just because they are women. I myself am an alien, but I must admit I am not that perfect either.

This happens to be a serious riddle people. And not so serious. See what I mean?

It's called an error-correcting code.

Or maybe at a casting:
- What makes you qualify for the role?
- My imperfections.
- What role are you talking about?
- The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
- That's right, you are perfect!

If you keep on amazing me like this they will change the title Amazing Grace into Amazing Grimbal.

No expected answer yet.

If "imperfection ~ i am perfection" transformation did not work, how about

"imperfection ~ am i perfection" as in "Am I perfection or what!"

meaning ...

You riddlers baffle me.

Perhaps the intended answer is a bit silly.

(we ourselves baffle ourselves)

This puzzle's question has been answered already? (the Euclid's style)

Without imperfection there is no perfection. Perfection - although it seems like an absolute term - is actually a relative term; without imperfection to compare it to, it cannot exist.

As in, without the darkness, how would we recognize the light? I had something else in mind, something not deep at all.

I feel Modus Ponens coming up:

P = if I am not mistaken
Q = imperfection is obtainable from perfection

I claim that P => Q

If I am mistaken then the above is false and the rest follows from here (https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_whathappened;action=display;num=1470327918;start=#6) ... therefore I am not mistaken and imperfection is obtainable from perfection.

Enough with boxes. I already have a cat.

However, the intended answer for a riddle regarding the link you provided could certainly put you on the right track.

Keep thinking like that. I think.

So it must be an [hide]anagram[/hide]?

Post by alien2 on Dec 2^nd, 2016, 3:49am

Something like that. You just planted the seed of doubt regarding validity of my riddle. Thanks a lot, buddy.

Don't worry: if you tell us the answer to this riddle then we will be able to validate its validity.

Hey that sounds like a dare. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. And by my beard you will get it. I'm not a Dwarf though. Ahem. [hide]Eraser[/hide] conveys the intended answer. Unless you are a Moron. Just like me. For your information, Sauron had to send Smaug and three legions of Orcs to get rid of me.

[hide]Origami[/hide] may be paired up with "design".

You wanna design something? Design THIS! No offense meant.
