18.75 vs 18.75.
They're equal.
Yep, next level now:
You have 100 blue balls, 100 red balls and 2 trash cans with unlimited storage capacity (meaning you can put as many balls in each one as you want). You have to put all the balls inside both trash cans. Now someone else comes and grabs a ball from any of the trash cans randomly (he doesn't know from which trash can he is going to grab a ball), and he doesn't know how you organised the balls inside the trash cans nor which ball he is going to grab. The question is: How would you put the balls inside the trash cans in order that when someone else comes and grabs a ball from the trash cans, has the highest probability to grab a
blue
ball?

Am I allowed to think outside the box? Because if so, I'd just not put any red balls into the trash can.
Otherwise, I'd put 199 balls (100 red, 99 blue) in one, and 1 blue ball in the other.
100% and 49.5% chance.

74,75% chance.
Corrected it a bit, but yeah that was the idea. Level 3 now:
Let's assume that hyphothetically you die (don't take this seriously since I'm not implying anything), then you go to the purgatory (I'm an atheist, but meh...the riddle goes like this, so don't mock me with anything related to politics or religion >_>) and there you find yourself alone but with 2 angels, each one standing in front of a different door (so there are 2 doors). In front of you lies a sign saying: "One door leads to heaven, while the other leads to hell. One angel always tells the truth, while the other always lies.You just have 1 opportunity, and that is 1 question to any of the angels, to know which door leads to heaven." Unfortunately, you don't know which angels tells the truth and which one lies. What would you ask to any of them to know what door to take?

There's a lot of possible answers to that.
But the correct question is obvious
Is, infact, the cake a lie?

Define bacon.
A delicious food that is often crunchy or crispy. Some are purely made of fat, while others are made more of pork or other animal products.
You forgot the part about worshipping it, so I'll give you a B+.
I don't worship.
Ever.
It makes reason escape your head.
I think Goodkind said it best:
"Thought is an acid that corrodes faith."
I disagree, but whatever.

I swear guys if you turn Bacon into a religious debate I think all hope has been lost.

I was actually slightly disappointed that he used a Goodkind quote, but obviously everyone has different tastes...

Essentially the point is you should listen to your reason. It's a pretty vicious way to say it (because that's actually what the "villain" of the book says), but it can be interpreted in the sense of the rule that came with that book. "The only sovereign that you should allow to rule you is reason."Otherwise, I'd put 199 balls (99 blue, 100 red) in one, and 1 blue ball in the other.
74,75% chance.

I'd ask one of the angels to go through the doors. If they look fearful about it... Just kidding.
I'd ask them if they always lie. Because honestly, I don't care about going to heaven, but I'd love to make the lying angel headsplode.

Silly, you ask either one 'which door would the other angel point to if I asked him which door lead to heaven,' then take the opposite door.
Edit: How would that make their head 'splode? They'd just say no... And that would be a lie.

Hm. Had it differently in my head.
Oh well.

I bet you were thinking about the sentence 'This is a lie.' That would.

They aren't logic based Robots. The Angels are willing to kill in the name of God, so telling a little white lie wouldn't be a big thing for them.
On topic: Have you ever played any of the Parasite Eve games?

Indeed! Since it seems you proved yourself worthy of the ultimate riddle challenge, I can go on saying riddles if you want D:

Yep, that would be it. Guess it doesn't work in question form.

Angels cannot lie.
At least, mine can't. Unless it is an angel of the devil, but there are ways to find out about that.

Intrest haz a Q&A?
Can I haz a Q&A?
Probably not.
On topic: Interest, if you ever get the extra money, are you planning on picking up a PSP for Birth by Sleep, Dissidia and 012, or any of the current cast of remakes of the older games, such as Tactics Ogre, FFT: War of the Lions, and the like?
Also, did you ever play the Parasite Eve games?(sorry if you've answered that before, but I honestly can't remember)
