I have donated fifty Canadian dollars to SC4D ealier today in these five people's names.  Thank you to everyone who took part in my little competition. 
I hope it was as much fun for you all as it was for me.  I really had a lot of fun this month.  When I started this month I had 169 replies, now I'm up to 320 and 2958 reads. 
That is pretty awesome, thanks everyone.


I have to get up at 5:30 am for work, so good night.
But before I go try this one,

Which Path?
You walk up to a mountain that has two paths. One leads to the other side of the mountain, and the other will get you lost forever. Two twins know the path that leads to the other side. You can ask them only one question. Except! One lies and one tells the truth, and you don't know which is which. So, What do you ask?

Sorry I missed the last round, Robin! I must say you definitely made your time in the Special Interest category worthwhile, my friend! Next time we see you, it'll be in the Classics! Have a good rest--you've earned it!

[Shadow Assassin]

I'd do this.

[Ennedi]

Robin, it was a great action!

And congratulations for coming to Classics 

As for your question - sorry, my brain is overheated now, I have cold and over 38^oC (but I am trying to visit at least a few of my friends

[tooheys]

Lol, the one that gave everyone the most trouble was your own MD .

Great work Robin, I have been lurking, but couldn't come up with the answers. Congrats on a great month and welcome to The Classics, well deserved 

Oh, I I'd ask them, "What would your twin say".

Cheers

Dave

[bat]

yes, it was a great month and competition! and Congrats to the winners of the five rounds
Also congrats to the Classics.

[threestooges]

Congratulations to those who won the contests, congratulations too to the increase of comments.

To attempt to answer your newest riddle: my question is similar to tooheys'. I would ask: Who would your twin say is telling the truth? The lying one would say "he would say I was." and the one telling the truth would say "he would say he was." This means (if I wrote that all correctly) that the one that gets indicated (regardless of which twin you ask) is the liar. Therefore you would not listen to the advice of that one.

However, since you only get one question, the question should be: "Which path would your twin say is the path to take to get over the mountain. (assume A is the correct path, and B is the incorrect path)

The liar would say: "he would say to take path B" (lying about what the other would say)
the honest one would say: "he would say to take path B" (telling the truth about what the other would say)

Therefore you know to take path A.

That was a fun one.

[tooheys]

Robin, I was a tad remiss with my last post, firstly yes congrats to the winners of the comps, but I think a lot of the applause should go to yourself for the generous donation to the site  .

And I did have the opportunity to review the tutorial, great work, easy to follow and will certainly be doing some experimenting along these lines.

Well done, and will be watching to see you come up with next.

Cheers

Dave

thundercrack83, you missed the last round, that's alright, you were in most of the others.    
Yah, Classics, that is pretty cool, eh?  I was in Best Sellers than go to SIOTM and come out and go to Classics.  I'd like to thank the people and.......hehehe  Hey, without you guys I wouldn't be here, so thanks. 
As for the rest, we'll just have to see.  I had a lot of fun this past month and if I can keep it up, I'll try.  Thanks for the support and nice comments my friend.
Shadow Assassin, you are correct, very nice rendition you found.     Thanks for stopping by.
Ennedi,  I'm glad you had fun in my MD last month and thanks for the compliment.  I worked pretty hard.  I hope you get better quickly.  Having a cold sucks.   
tooheys, Yah, my picture got everbody, I think.  But my contest, I deserve to be in it.  You assisted in round three, that counts for something. 
Thnk you very much for the compliment.  But I have wanted to donate for a very long time.  Every time I read that someone else would like to donate but can't for some reason, I felt a little bad.  So I thought of the competition.  I know I donated the money, but a least someone else can feel good about it as well.  Or at least I hope so. 
Glad you liked the tutorial.  It was my first time writing one.  I think you can tell.  But pratice breeds perfection, I always say.  So watch out there maybe others in the future.
bat, Thanks alot, glad you enjoyed yourself.
threestooges, very good on the riddle.  Thanks for stopping by my friend.  I have added my answer down below.

Just so no one over heats their brain too much on the last riddle here is the answer. 
Riddle again,
Which Path?
You walk up to a mountain that has two paths. One leads to the other side of the mountain, and the other will get you lost forever. Two twins know the path that leads to the other side. You can ask them only one question. Except! One lies and one tells the truth, and you don't know which is which. So, What do you ask?

You ask each twin, "What would your brother say"? 
This works because.... Well let's say the correct path is on the left side. So say you asked the liar "What would your brother say?" The liar would know his brother was honest and he would say the left side, but since the liar lies, he would say right. If you asked the honest twin the same question, he would say right, because he knows his brother will lie. Therefore, you would know that the correct path was the left!

Now if you all liked that one, here's another.

1000 Bucks
So, I give you ten envelopes and a thousand dollars, all in one dollar bills. You have to distribute the money into the envelopes in such a manner that no matter what number of dollars I ask you for, you can give me one or more of the envelopes, containing the exact amount I asked for without having to open any of the envelopes. 
How do you distribute the money among the ten envelopes?   

Good luck with this one and enjoy. 

Oh, I do have a quick question to anyone.  Does anyone know where there might be a good tutorial on how to use the LE?  For a beginner, I would like to learn everything.

For the first pic , i lnew that i saw it somewhere  Hey great concours my friend and i`m very happy and i congrats you for be in the Classic. 

[tooheys]

The power of Aussie minds ( and Google)

The contents or the ten envelopes (in dollar bills) should be as follows: $1, 2,4, 8, 16, 32,64, 128,256, 489. The first nine numbers are in geometrical progression, and their sum, deducted from 1,000, gives the contents of the tenth envelope.

[rooker1]

Good Morning everyone,

Kimcar, thanks for stopping by and the nice comments.
tooheys, very good use of your computer, but did you give it a try first?   
Anyways, you are right.  With those numbers, I could ask for any amount and you could give it to me.

I have a proper SC4 update ready for tonight, see you all than.

Why waste my diminishing brain cells when I can use my compooter 

[Ennedi]

Why waste my diminishing brain cells when I can use my compooter 

1. When you don't use any organ for a long time, it can atrophy (thank you Robin for preventing us against it  )
2. The brain is more safe sometimes - did you ever experienced a CTD? 

I will wait for the update, Robin 

[threestooges]

In regard to your question regarding LE tutorials, I looked around. Most of what I have learned I picked up here and there. After a quick search, I found one or two things on the ST Omnibus, but nothing that was really comrehensive. As a result, I have started work on one myself. While I wouldn't call it comprehensive, it should take the beginner through the necessary steps of creating a new lot. I'll try to put it in the LE tutorial section here.

[rooker1]

Hello all,

Well tooheys, I guess you have a point, I wounldn't want to diminish your brain cells.  I just thought I could stimulate them a little.   
Ennedi, I heard that atrophy was something very bad, I hope tooheys doesn't have it. hehehe just kidding CTD, No I don't think so.
threestooges, thank you so much.  I feel like you made it for me.     That tutorial was perfect.  Everyone should check it out.  I gave you a karma point, anyone who takes their time to do a tutorial like the one you did, really deserves one.

Think about this until the next time,

Good night for now,

[bat]

Wonderful update there, rooker1! Great looking city!

[thundercrack83]

Is that building in picture 25.3 a train station? I've never seen that one before!

And also, of course, outstanding update as usual, Robin! The trains look fantastic and I love the residential areas with the row homes!

[sebes]

WOW - that pic 25.1 , with the row houses, looks soo much like the city where I grew up - except that you made it slightly (understatement) greener....  Great job!

How did you do that and what houses did you use?
