We have a lot of work to do......two analogies.I will try with both.
But first I wanted to say that every answer has a part of the solution....
I think that Joshua post is very important and I am agree whith what he sais.
None here was so wrong that must stop posting......
So Is This Like A Game:
electricity : computer :: ___ : human
=spirit-soul-blood-oxigen-water-food-energy-power-rationality-........all that list can be aplied to animals as well
The second one:
Mother : ?? :: ?? : humanity
I liked Enigma answer.So I choose it too.

Joshua, I won't get too involved into this either, but here is some info copied off of the internet on both subjects:
Environmental Benefits
Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate, improving air quality, conserving water and harboring wildlife. Climate control is achieved by moderating the effects of sun, wind and rain. Trees intercept water, store some of it, reduce storm run-off and the possibility of flooding. The leaves of trees filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Leaves also absorb other air pollutants such as ozone, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, and give off oxygen. By planting trees, we return to a more natural and less artificial environment and natural harmony is restored to the urban environment.
and this is the "ingredients" for a grade school science experiment on water filtration:
Activities and Materials Needed:
1. Two-liter drink bottle
2. Beaker (600 ml. or larger)
3. Beaker (graduated, 250-400 ml.)
4. 600 ml. of play sand
5. 350 ml. of aquarium pebbles
6. 350 ml. of aquarium charcoal (or ground-up pieces of charcoal briquettes)
7. 350 ml. of soil
8. 250 ml. of water (dirty, but preferably pond)
9. 3”x 3” piece of screen material
10. Large cotton ball
11. Rubber band
The filtration model should be arranged so that the bottom 1/3 of the bottle is cut off, a screen be placed over the opening where the cap would normally be and suspended down with a rubber band. Then the following items should be placed in order into the bottle; cotton, sand, pebbles, soil, charcoal, and sand. Then once the filter is assembled, place it over the 600-ml. beaker and begin to pore the pond water into the filter. Explain to the students that as the water passes through the levels of materials, this is what happens to the water that they drink on a daily basis.
I will go into it more if you wish!

I have to agree with Samantha... electricity provides power to the computer (right?) and through food (nutrients would perhaps be a better words) power and energy is "given" to a human... erm... is that worded wrong? er... i think my point comes across nonetheless...

I'll admit you got me there (I looked up another site). But still, trees don't absorb Nitrogen dioxide, or worse, Nitric oxide (the difference is one oxygen atom in the compound). They also don't remove Chlorine compounds, which are destroying the Ozone layer, which, if I may remind you, is the reason life on land can exist in the first place. Without the Ozone layer, we will all die. There are many pollutants coming from the manufacturing of computer hard drives, and boards of that sort which would kill trees if they were to absorb them. Notice computers are band from junk yard because they leak pollutants. I know trees can't do a damn thing about this, but when these computers are built, the stuff goes into the atmosphere. (I wanted to find a link to this, but I couldn't, so I thought I should tell you that not the same stuff leaks from computer boards, and is emitted from factories.
And as for your ground experiment, notice that they don't use soil in gas masks, they use charcoal. This is because charcoal absorbs many gases intensively, leaving out safe gases like Oxygen. Once the charcoal’s done, there won't be any pollutants for the soil to absorb. And one more thing, the ground isn't made of:
1. Play sand
2. Aquarium pebbles
3. Aquarium charcoal (or ground-up pieces of charcoal briquettes)
4. Soil
5. Piece of screen material
6. Large cotton ball
Water (dirty, but preferably pond)??? That doesn't have any pollutants in it, unless you get it from a pond near a nuclear power plant. There aren't any ponds (that I know of) near factories, and the ones that are contaminated are locked up, or by some other means, forbidden to visit.
All you pointed out is that school filters use soil, not that soil can absorb pollutants. No one uses dirt in their water filters. A more ideal (and effective) way to filter water is to boil it.
Water is known as a solution, that is, certain stuff dissolve within it. These are known as solutes (Carbon compounds aren't solutes, which is good, because we would be eaten alive every time we take a shower). Sugars and salts are solutes, and dissolve in the water. Water is not just full of solutes; actually, the tap water we drink is full of all kinds of crap. 100% water is actually a poor conductor of electricity, but the regular water we drink has enough conductive shit in it (obviously) for the water to carry the electric current when you stick a wet hand into an outlet (I don't know why anyone would do that).
Once the water evaporates, it can no longer carry all this shit, and doesn't. If you have hard water (like me) you will notice white stains on your glass from lime. Boiling the water will make the Calcium-Carbon dioxide compound (can’t think for the life of me what it's called) unstable and it loses a Carbon dioxide molecule, and transforms from a solute, and sinks to the bottom, or the sides.

I know it's too hard; I will give up the answer since few people have an interest in it, and it's hard. But first, I want to tell you why it wasn't Mother : child :: God : humanity.
Mother does create the child, but needs father's help to do so. God doesn't need anyone to do anything. God is independent. Let's assume that there is something that mother can do, without having father's help.
This is also for humanity, there must be something that one thing can influence humanity, as mother can influence what ever. It can't be raising the child, because then the mother would also raise humanity, and that's not right. Thus, mother must have some influence on something, that something can influence humanity in the same way. Now we have gone through everything that can help us on the mother's side, we need to look at humanity. What influences humanity? God (religion), Society, Money, Government. Let's start out with these before we look for more. We know it's not God, and no other religion. Society, what in hell does mother do that society does? That genre is held by the household. Money influences humanity in the form of greed, mommas don't do any such thing, at least the sane ones. Government, government dictates what you can and can't do in their country, this goes for the parents, namely the mother. And you can look at the government/humanity system like you can mother/child. When people are bad, they go to jail, when children are bad, they go to their rooms, or some other sort of punishment, based on the culture.
Indeed, the analogy answer is:
Mother : Child :: Government : Humanity
Now someone else has to come up with an analogy, because all mine suck.
I won’t be posting very much for a while, have work to do. And if you refer to the work as school work, I will lose all respect for you. I know you will find it easy to live without my crappy since of hummer, my crazy ideas, and my tendency to get into fights.

I am sure he will be back but just not as often as before. He was really good at keeping my daughters thread going too. He will be missed. Would you like me to attempt to come up with another analogy? We can keep this going too!
I hadn't realized I would be missed. People gave me the impression they didn't like me. I guess it wouldn't hurt me too badly if I post here every once in a while, at least every other day. I am trying to write a fiction book. Well, not trying, I seem (seam,

I know this because she is interested in space, and she's a genius. What else to I need to know?
Sam, I have a crippling conscience, so I can't just leave like that. I will post here every now and then.

I'm the one who had it backwards! Sorry Sam, my brain's on stirke.
It's not small large, because birds are small, and cats eat birds. And besides, I am much too creative to come up with something that pothetic. It has nothing to do with "orbiting", whether literal or hypotheticle.
I really thought this analogy would be easy. But since it isn't (obviously), I will give you a real hint. Again, sorry Sam.
The relationship between the earth and the sun is not big/small, but superior/inferior, or dominent/not dominent, what ever the hell that is. But it's more in the direction of my previous analogy, and it's not government. You would have been closer if you guessed the other blank to the analogy. The sun has contral over the earth, but must be respocible, and take care of it.
That's all the hints you're getting out of me for a while.

Question Cobalt Frog, you have 7 "?" on the last line, does the answer have seven digits? Darn, I think micx got it. But that doesn't follow your tip... ?

Question Cobalt Frog, you have 7 "?" on the last line, does the answer have seven digits? Darn, I think micx got it. But that doesn't follow your tip... ?
indeed - micx got it. my hint was that the last digit is always 1, the second to last alternates 1-2, which leads in the direction of "one 1" and "two ones". in any event, that was how i figured this riddle out.
i am confused by guest_555joshua's response. responsibility? in what way does the sun have responsibility for earth? the most lofty description of our relationship may be that the sun "tolerates" earth (like a cat tolerates fleas) ... the sun certainly won't be inconvenienced if earth suddenly ceases to exist.
so while i am still pondering that answer, what about this one: you are a flea in a land of compulsive truth tellers and liars, and you are looking for a cat. you come to a Y in the road and a solitary figure who sits in its middle. you have one question to ask to find out which way leads to the cat, but you don't know whether you are speaking with a truth teller or a liar. what will you ask?

Darn, and I was so close. I still don't understand your tip, but your explanation of how you got to the answer is exactly how I was seeing the answer too. Just not quick on the draw....
My answer: So which way should a person who DESPISES the sight of animals (and maybe throw in especially cats) and does not want to see any animals on my path go?

to this a liar would point in a direction opposite of what a truth teller would indicate. since we don't know whether we are talking to a truth teller or a liar, the flea has a 50/50 chance of going catless.

Sorry, didn't read the questino...... was thinking they all lied.
How about asking the solitary figure if they are the only person sitting in the middle of the road on that spot?

I think you would ask "Which path would a person of the opposite persuasion as you tell me the Cat is down?"
Say the cat is to the right. The Truthteller would tell me that a Liar would say the cat is to the Left. A Liar would tell me that a Truthteller would say the cat is to the Left. So you do the opposite of what the answer is to find the Cat.
Oddly enough, I know this because of the movie Labyrinth that features David Bowie as the antagonist. It features a scene like this.

good answer. the one i came up with was this question: "If i asked you which way the cat is, what would you tell me?"
it's the same idea in that the truth teller would tell the truth, and the liar would have to lie twice and therefore negate his lie.
ok, enough waiting for the earth:sun::___:cat riddle. come one 555j!

"If I asked you the directon of the cat, what would you tell me?" (The cat is on the left prong of the fork in the road).
The liar: "I would say to the left." This man always lies, if he is asked where the cat is, he would say the right. If he says he would say the right, he would be telling the truth. So he says left, which is where the cat is.
The honest: "I would say the left." This man is always honest, if he is asked where the cat is, he would say the left. Which is where the cat is.
Back to the analogy.
The sun has a responsibility to keep the earth from flying into deep space, and to keep it warm. In short, the sun has a responibility to take care of its child. Now, this responsibility is merely hypothetical, but it's there. This does not say that the cat's responsibility is hypothetical. I could have left that part out, and made the analogy even harder.
I was guest__555Joshua. It's not fleas, the answer anyway.

Well, Josh wants to get back to the analogy (which I have no idea about... although I don't think any of these analogies have ONLY one correct answer), so I will answer the riddle I posed above. cobalt_frog, you were on the right track/mindset... the answer is a Record.
I am very sorry I made you give up the answer. I only meant the I was going to further explain my hint. I did not mean I wanted everyone to quit giving out puzzles, which is the opposite of how I feel. Keep bringing them.
"THEY",
Is the kid going to be posting now, or is it just a two time thing?
Is the kid going to be posting now, or is it just a two time thing?
All right, I'll give up the answer. The sun keeps the earth warm, while bombarding it with cosmic turbulence. What does the cat keep warm, while bombarding it with some sort of shit? Nothing orbits the cat, the cat emits no heat of any kind, other than body warmth (and that's not enough to keep anyone alive). On the other hand, the sun doesn't hunt, the sun doesn't groom, and it doesn't take naps on your lap. Good thing too, OUCH! The relationship is clearly hypothetical. The sun warms the earth, keeps it from floating off into deep space. Without the sun, there would be no life. The sun is nurturing. The sun nurtures the earth. What does the cat nurture? Its own offspring.
Yes, the answer is: Earth : Sun :: Kitten : Cat
Notice, that like my precious analogy, this relationship is mother infant.

Joshua, Hidden Tiger has the numbers one right. You have to replace the numbers with words, and that is the same with my mother's riddle. No replacing letters at all, just turn most of them into words. If you can't get it, I will email it to you.
And the analogy, no it isn't Washington. I picked words that could have a couple answers, and I knew that one would be the first guess because it is easier. The hint that I meant to leave before I vanished, was that this is where I went on vacation. And yes, I left Washington state for my vacation.

I'm not going to give you guys an analogy, for the time being. Instead, try out this logic problem:
Imagine you have two balls of different size--one is half the size of the other. If you roll them down an angled path, which one reaches the ground first? Provided you understand that the smaller object is pulled just as fast as the larger, however, the larger one is bigger around.
The more you think about this one, the harder it becomes.
Shortly after this question was posed (and I rang in with the incorrect answer) I decided that I could not live a fulfilled life without knowing the answer. So I did a small experiment. I'm not going to claim that it was the most scientifically based experiment as didn't have a control group etc. but I think it sufices.
I took a tempered glass table top about 4-5 ft long (very smooth, very hard = little friction) and two granite (or marble) polished spheres (looked pretty perfectly round and smooth to me, again hard and smooth = little friction). One sphere was about an inch in dia. and the other was about 2 and a half. I laid the glass down on a flat surface and proped up one end with a very thick college physics book (ohh, the irony) to create a gentle incline. I placed the spheres at the top and let go as simultaniously as possible.
The result after several attempts to be sure.... they got to the end at EXACTLY the same time.
I am not to sure anyone really cares about the outcome of my experiment, but I thought it was pretty fun and exciting.... i need a life.
One more thing to cram in this post, Josh, try figuring out THEY's riddle outloud... and maybe with a slight hillbilly accent. It is a pretty fun one to do.

SkiSTX, you have the right idea, but no I didn't go to Hawaii. Maybe I will have to go there next time, haven't been there in years!
Asteriod destroyed all life on earth, Mt St Helen destroyed all life on...Mt St Helen? Mt St Helen National park? Nah, it has nothing to do with Hawaii I'm going to say...(very long pause)...Alaska???
I was starting to get the same Idea with the balls. But, I can't see how the balls would roll down the thing at the same speed when one is one and a half times larger. And no, you don't need a life. I would have done the same thing, but I had nothing smooth enough, nor round enough to work.
And as for that "riddle", if only a select few of those "words" need to be switched to get the answer, I'm out!

No, it isn't Alaska, but Alaska very well could be my next vacation! And destruction isn't the comparison used in the analogy, it is size. That was your hint.
An astoroid is smaller than earth, and Mt Sainty is smaller than...a lot of things, but an astoriod is a space body, so is earth. Mt St Helens is a mountain, duh. Everast? Everust? Everest?
Hmmm.... Yellowstone? It's potential explosive capability supposedly dwarfs Mt. St. Hellen's. (That's my 'size' comparison... somehow, I don't think THEY went to Everest for a week )
)
Well, you have a point their. On the other hand, we have to remember that her analogies are somewhat knowledge based.
Let's see, it isn't destructive power and it's not Everest. I don't think it's Yellow Stone because Yellow Stone isn't a mountain. Hmm, the only states that have volcanos are Washington and Alaska (maybe Oregan).

Yes SkiSTX, it is Yellowstone. The potential damage from Yellowstone errupting would make Mt St Helens looks like a baby that spit up. And Joshua, Yellowstone probably used to be considered a mountain, but it lost its top. Most of the park that you drive around is actually inside the volcanic caldera (which is obviously still geogically active). It is definitely in the mountains, I believe the highest elevation we were at was 7700 ft., almost as high as Mt St Helens is. Also, for the history books, Mt St Helens didn't affect me at all. We had to wash our cars alot due to the very light dusting we received. But it sounds like the Yellowstone caldera errupting would probably kill me. And maybe you too, where ever you live in the US. Nice knowin y'all!

I thought there was supposed to be a super large gigantuan volcano under Yellowstone? Then the eruption, when and if it comes, would not be the usual letting off pressure (and stuff) from a crater. It supposedly would literelly lift up the entire piece of land, at the same time obliterating all trace of life for... wuite a long distance, and huge disturbances around the globe will be seen. So basically its not Yellowstone erupting, but a volcano under it? Right?

That one was way too easy. I'm going to come up with another analogy after you colve my puzzle.
First, I think it would be much, much easier if you knew how to solve it. Every letter in it is replaced by another letter of the alphabet. These letters are coherent throughout. For example:
How do you do? would be:
Vit ai xiq ai?
These things are so much fun.

The small words from Josh's cryptograph are,

either w or x is a vowel but not both

I can't figure it out... yet. Does this help anyone else?
By the way Josh, this is not how THEY's puzzle about snakes works.
Draugluin, I am not sure the exact mechanics, but yellowstone, like hawaii is a volcanic 'hot spot' meaning that the fuel/energy/heat comes from the earth's core directly rather than from the melting of continental plates as they subduct under each other (neither yellowstone now hawaii are on fault lines). You can think of the analogy of boiling macaroni in a pot of water. The spot that has the most heat/flame under it will turn into a convection current and the contents of the boiling pot will come shooting up from the bottom at that spot towards the surface. So there is not really a 'volcano' under yellowstone, but rather a lots of geologic heat and pressure. However YS is fundamentally different that Hawaii because of the type of rock they form in. Oceanic plates are very thin and are made of Basalt, while continental plates are much thicker and bulkier and are made of Andesite. Basalt has the property of not being very strong and letting magma break through it easily. Andesite, on the other hand has the property of acting like a cork and holding back as much pressure as possible until it just can't hold it any longer, at which point it literally explodes. And since The middle of the continental plate is so thick, this means that gimormous amounts of pressure could build up at the hotspot under YS until if finally just gave way and exploded. This contrasts to the thin basalt layer under Hawaii where the lava just oozes out of the volcanos there without any explosions.

By the way Josh, this is not how THEY's puzzle about snakes works.
Draugluin, I am not sure the exact mechanics, but yellowstone, like hawaii is a volcanic 'hot spot' meaning that the fuel/energy/heat comes from the earth's core directly rather than from the melting of continental plates as they subduct under each other (neither yellowstone now hawaii are on fault lines). You can think of the analogy of boiling macaroni in a pot of water. The spot that has the most heat/flame under it will turn into a convection current and the contents of the boiling pot will come shooting up from the bottom at that spot towards the surface. So there is not really a 'volcano' under yellowstone, but rather a lots of geologic heat and pressure. However YS is fundamentally different that Hawaii because of the type of rock they form in. Oceanic plates are very thin and are made of Basalt, while continental plates are much thicker and bulkier and are made of Andesite. Basalt has the property of not being very strong and letting magma break through it easily. Andesite, on the other hand has the property of acting like a cork and holding back as much pressure as possible until it just can't hold it any longer, at which point it literally explodes. And since The middle of the continental plate is so thick, this means that gimormous amounts of pressure could build up at the hotspot under YS until if finally just gave way and exploded. This contrasts to the thin basalt layer under Hawaii where the lava just oozes out of the volcanos there without any explosions.

[FONT=Arial] Going back to the original analogy from Joshua, (tree:wood:: old man: ??)I wanted to point out that wisdom does not necessarily make the old man (or old woman). I think that "experience" is a better answer as we all probably know some older folk who have the sense of a fence post. (Some younger folks too!)
Btw, Joshua are you aware that 5 is the number of the Goddess?

It doesn't make the old man. It's just something the old man is supposed to have. (I know an old guy, and he's just plan dumb as a rock).
No, I have three 5's, which means I'm going to have three Goddesses. That's how I'm going to look at it. I do know 666 is the number of the devil, so I didn't want that.

No, they aren't. I thought it would be easy enough to solve without a hint. I find Cryptograms very easy.
Okay, the single letter word is lower case o, which means it's not o or I, and it's not likely to mean t, which is rarely used. this means it must be a, or we'll say it is for the time being. This sheds a little light on the puzzle:

a
Ew swm kpui fioxmyb? Rgs xwy?
A lot of these words--except for a--could be anything, so we need to do more. If I do any more, I will ruin the puzzle. Just focus on the "yg" letter pare.
Um, SkiSTX,
Yellow Stone national is above a hot spot. In fact, it has about five miles of crust separating it from the magma, which might be why it's so hot.

My point exactly! The old man doesn't necessarily have wisdom, but he very necessarily has experience from life. Therefore, Experience is a better fit in your analogy.
I rest my case.

But an old man could have sat in a cage all his life, and won't know squat. Experience depends on condition and situation, wisdom does not.

Ts twygid bope swm kpui fioxmyb. Wx ygi wygid goxe, bgi bosb o kwy wc ygpxab.
Ew swm kpui fioxmyb? Rgs xwy? (I just noticed, x is supposed to be w).
We already know that all the o's are a's. What next? Let's work on the letter pares: yg. The common letter pares of the English language are: wr, wh, th, sh, gh, qu, ph and ea. We already know it's not the last one. Sh, wh and th are the only pares which start a three letter word, which means g is h. Thus we have:
Ts twyhid bape swm kpui fiaxmyb. Wx yhi oyhid haxe, bhi basb a kwy wc yhpxab.
Ew swm kpui fiaxmyb? Rhs xwy?
A three letter word with h in the middle is either she, the, why or who. And since both ygi and bgi have an h in the middle and have an i at the end, we know that they are either she or the, and that i is e. Thus, Ts twyhid bape swm kpui fiaxmyb. Wx yhi wyhid haxe, bhi basb a kwy wc yhpxab.
Ew swm kpui fiaxmyb? Rhs xwy? becomes:
Ts twyhed bape swm kpue feaxmyb. Wx yhe wyhed haxe, bhe basb a kwy wc yhpxab.
Ew swm kpue feaxmyb? Rhs xwy?
Now, wx and xc have the same letter, only on opposite sides. This occurs in as, is, so, on, of, do, to and so. W is either s or o. if it's s, then what was in front of s--w--is a. This is not so. But what is x? Because there is not such word as fo, it must be n. Thus, w is o. Now we have:
Ts toyhed bape som kpue feanmyb. On yhe oyhed hane, bhe basb a koy oc yhpnab.
Ew som kpue feanmyb? Rhs noy?
I made a mistake when I introduced my puzzle, I just found out, and don't won't to delete what I've been writing. But I will not continue solving the puzzle.

If we want to get serious, I should point out that the half-life of an element is shorter the heavier it is.

You're wasting your time. It's a fundamenmtally flawed and poorly designed analogy with multiple possible answers and therefore is *invalid*.
If there are 10 different answers that can all be proved logically then you are just guessing as to which of the many possible correct answers the writer chose to say was correct.

Huh?
I'm laughing, but not because of the joke. I WORK IN THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Not really).
Whoever sent you that joke should die.
">Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons,
> 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons,
> giving it an atomic mass of 311."
Should be:
Governmentium has one neutron--just for show--12 assistant neutrons, 75 assistant assistant neutrons and 224 neutrons which were thrown in there for the hell of it--giving it an atomic mass of 311.
If we want to get serious, I should point out that the half-life of an element is shorter the heavier it is.
It was good with adding the morons. There are a LOT of morons in "Governmentium".
Answer: Canada
Yep. Didn't take long.
I think "THEY" might have said something about it. I don't know.
I noticed this topic is getting lame.

I came up with an analogy at this one post, however, no one responded to it, so I thought I would make a post for it.
Here it is:
Tree : Wood :: Old Man : ??
Try to solve it.
Ta-ta
Tree : Wood :: Old Man : Baby
something new and mold-able out of death

That analogy is very old and outdated. By the way, no, that is not the answer.

Some trees reproduce by roots from the origonal steming off and growing into a new tree. Human ageing is difforent then tree or plant life's ageing.
The old man, is greater then the tree in all ways but one...
He will die, and his mind and spirit were capable of fathoming the art of never dieing, yet they did die, and the mindless tree lived on forever...

But in what way and with what meaning?.......

You're wasting your time. It's a fundamenmtally flawed and poorly designed analogy with multiple possible answers and therefore is *invalid*.
If there are 10 different answers that can all be proved logically then you are just guessing as to which of the many possible correct answers the writer chose to say was correct.
"fundamentally"

555Joshua,
Not to bring an dead ol' thread back....but
I only read your question and the last page.
Honestly, I immediately thought CHILD was the missing answer, whether its right or wrong.
Tree: Wood :: Old man : Child
Thinking on one pattern of logistical analysis. Then....
Secondly, I thought SPERM, funnily.
Maybe you gave some clue somwhere, that I havn't yet seen/read...
Thanks.
PS: hope thIs doesnt spark it off again

Let's see now, what is the wood to a tree? What would that be to an old man?
