  • The Puzzle Thread Game

    I have decided to bring back the puzzle thread from the old boards. It's going to work a little differently this time, though.

    The first poster to solve the current puzzle correctly gets to choose the next puzzle. Have fun.

    Puzzle Question: What do some people do at their jobs that you should never do on a babysitting job?

    Probably not the correct question, but as a bartender I'll say: do shots.

      Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

            I was joking, and don't have anything ready... can I pass to Broomjockey?

            (I do sort of have a puzzle, but no answer, which is why it's a puzzle but also why it wouldn't work for this)

              In that case, it's fine. Broomjockey, you get to do the next puzzle.

                Nuh-uh. You can't just pass it off like that. Them's shirking your duties! We don't hold with that's around here!

                (Actually, I'm just not clear on the "puzzle" bit. That seemed more a riddle where you could come up with multiple answers. I'd like another example to see if I can catch on)

                  Yeah maybe you should explain it a little better.

                    In the meantime, I'll go ahead and post my (so far) answerless puzzle: is there some sort of adapter, or series of adapters, that will let me connect my laptop (DVI out only) to an analog TV (cable and RCA-plug video in only) and, if so, where could I find it/them? Radio Shack is no help.

                      Wouldn't a DVI to Component Video Cable work? I'm not picturing the problem, I guess.

                      Make a list of important things to do today.
                      At the top of your list, put 'eat chocolate'
                      Now, you'll get at least one thing done today

                        I'd forgotten about this thread... does component video work for old-fashioned, non-HD TV's? Can component video be readily converted to the kind that only has one plug?

                          I'm not an expert by any means and I have weak google-fu. But wouldn't it be easier if you can't find the cable adapter you need for computer to tv, to just get a cheap vcr or dvd player and connect to the tv through that? When all else fails, step back and punt in the other direction. lol

                            I'm not sure I understand; I have a VCR and a DVD player, and they're no help. Both connect via three RCA plugs: Left audio, Right audio, and Video. The TV has the same. The computer has only DVI. I also have adapters for DVI-to-VGA and S-Video to RCA.

                            I *have* found exactly one adapter online to do what I want, but it specifically says it only works on G5 Power Macs.
