Point it out!

Have you ever heard the phrase, "never point a finger at someone because there will always be three pointing back at you".

If there were three people talking to each other, and two of them point one finger at a 3rd person. If the third person points one finger from each hand at each of the other two, how many fingers will be pointing at the third person?

Formula

If you use a certain formula on 13, you end up with 7.

Under the same formula, 2352 becomes 16, 246 becomes 14, 700 turns into 16, and 1030 becomes 14.

What would 9304 become?


Hint:

I strongly recommend that you use a scientific calculator.

Ariel recently came back from a rather long vacation and returned nearly 15 pounds lighter. When he showed off his new appearance to his younger brother Arriane, he also bragged that he ate as much as he wanted, most of the time eating non-stop. Arriane was puzzled; how could this be true? Ariel had the answer.

What was Ariel's secret diet?

Going Home

She completed one circle in ten minutes, then another in 15 min., then another in 20 min. At nine o' clock, the man saw her fall asleep outside. During which circle did she fall asleep?

Hint:
No math required.

Riddle?

Guess the word or phrase I've been wanting to tell you.


Youth vanishes when I always come
Over me is the brightest light
Under me are lovers looking at me

At morning, I can't live
Rest is my duty on morning
Every night I come to work

To be more than a billion years old
Rough work it should be
In times, I get tired but still rocking
Covering darkness to light
Keep on working to give you path
End is impossible for me
Darkness never prevail.
