All was going well in the fair land of LEGO, when all of the sudden, out of nowhere, the minifigs revolted. (URL) came in the night, halberds in hand.

I'll refrain from explaining why, for folks still playing at home, but will offer a hint: 'might be true' doesn't hold any weight in logical puzzle solving. Think in terms of must be true (...)

I read Dave's post the wrong way, I thought it one of those trick questions which go around at this time of year. It got me thinking about this one which I read a week or so ago: Only one of the following statements about a particular hand of cards (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Yes it includes the time, but that money order you've got in your hand is simply "valued at" property. The money order itself is not actual money. One might say, however that you've increased the amount of VALUE in the town temporarily, but (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) It depends on how you measure "the total money available." If you measure it as the acutal cash (greenbacks, etc) - then no - you don't have the $10 anymore, and the total money hasn't increased. But if you measure "the total money available" (...)

(...) Does that include the time between the purchase of the money order and its cashing? During that time it seems that there is $10 more in circulation--not actual, minted coinage, but legal tender nonetheless. Dave! Still talking to himself. (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Assuming your money is part of the total $1000 the economy never would increase because you give $10.50 to the post office. The post office increases it's portion of the $1000 dollars by $10.50 at the same time you lose $10.50 of your portion. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Hypothetical: I live in Boombaville, a closed economic community in which the total money available equals $1000 and where money orders cost $.50.
