a riddle/question

chiquita chad · 5th February 2002, 21:53

This question came up in psychology a week ago.:
What's the first thing you know?

there is an answer but it's incredibly hard to get right. it took the class a week to figure out and i was the one who got it right. im so proud

btw, the answer is not "you mommy's name"
good luck.

Your mothers heartbeat.

Bilbo Baggins · 5th February 2002, 22:03

The first thing you know is the first thing you pick up.

Gonzotek · 5th February 2002, 22:03

Google's most popular answer appears to be "Ole Jed's a millionaire", but I doubt that was the answer you were looking for.

how to blink or hiccup

papadoc · 5th February 2002, 22:08

I'm guessing...
The first thing you know, independant from your mother,
is how to breathe.
Because that's the first thing you do immediately,
on your own, as soon as your little head pops out,
before anything else you do.
Just a guess.

lil vixen · 5th February 2002, 22:12

But if it can be the very first thing you know before your born is blinking and hiccuping.
-watched my son hiccup on an ultrasound n it use to keep my up all hours of the night,
hmm also sucking your thumb lol
ok enough babble from me

Ian the Korean · 5th February 2002, 22:12

Post Pump!

No, I'd have to agree with anyone who said breath.

Bilbo Baggins · 5th February 2002, 22:14

I do not think it is, as that seems to be a little too obvious.

Xerxes · 5th February 2002, 22:14

Don't you have to be slapped first by the doctor before you start breathing? I would say that the first thing you know is pain

An excellent introduction to life, if you ask me.

fwgx · 5th February 2002, 22:17

I think I'd have to agree with X, pain or feeling.

I agree...there's got to be a punchline to this.
For me...the first thing I knew was how to be late for breakfast.
Like a week late.
My mom was about to explode.

Jon Deaux · 5th February 2002, 22:21

The first thing you know is how to swim.
Look at them spermatoozies go!
Assuming of course you retain the youness of being a spermatazoan.

Ian the Korean · 5th February 2002, 22:29

recognizing your own existance, just a thought...

I thought you said you weren't gonna do this again.
Even after being warned about it by Matt and ethan_h.
Some folks never learn I suppose.

rm' · 5th February 2002, 23:36

I don't think you can safely claim that there is an answer, because it's incredibly hard to get into the mind of a baby. Also, "existence" is a higher order concept, one which an infant cannot understand.

Also, you need to define "know". Do you mean acquired knowledge, or something instinctual, such as the gag reflex and swimming?

Ian the Korean · 6th February 2002, 00:51

Holy cow, papadoc!
I wasn't actually a post pump, because I was contributing to the topic!
Don't always expect the worst from me. It was meant as a joke.

Xcalibur · 6th February 2002, 01:23

hi guys.. i'm new here.. hehe
anyway...

is it: the first thing that you know is that you dont know?

papadoc · 6th February 2002, 01:25

Fair enough Ian, but you have to understand.
After all the post pumping you did, and bragging about it,
even a comical reference to it now will be taken wrong.
It's better to just let the "post pump" reference die,
even if you are joking.
I'm just trying to help you out, ok?

Curi0us_George · 6th February 2002, 02:23

I don't get it, either.
Nevermind . . . (stupid riddle)

Ian the Korean · 6th February 2002, 02:23

I would just repost it for you if I knew where that came from, but I can't find it so just read the whole thread Xcalibur.

rm' · 6th February 2002, 02:25

Apparently, it's from the Beverly Hillbillies. But I still don't get it.

Good ol' Jed.

Xcalibur · 6th February 2002, 04:07

hmm.. so it has nothing to do with psychology.. lol

Gonzotek · 6th February 2002, 04:16

My mantra has been this for the past 2 years:
"Don't use your brain, stupid. Let Google do the thinking for you."

Works pretty well..... most of the time.
-=Gonzotek=-

BigStarPlaya · 6th February 2002, 04:17

Is the first thing you know is that you are alive?

BigStarPlaya · 6th February 2002, 06:11

Are you going to tell us? Or wait til someone gets it?

Spiffed · 6th February 2002, 07:47

It was a joke.
it's a line taken from a TV theme song

Xerxes · 6th February 2002, 07:53

Yay!

Well the first thing you know,
old Jed's a Millionaire
Kinfolk said "Jed, move away from there." Said
Californy is the place y'oughta be, so they
loaded up the truck, and they moved to Beverly.

I used to watch it before school every day

Ian the Korean · 6th February 2002, 20:01

Some people are really slow, because they didn't get even after it was spelled out for them!

chiquita chad · 6th February 2002, 20:15

indeed it has nothing to do with psychology... but my psyc. professor asked it so i figured it had to do with actual psychology... but it turned out to be quite opposite

it was a test to prove that people overthink things...
it probably doesnt make sense unless you've seen the show

griffinn · 7th February 2002, 03:21

I despise riddles that have several reasonable solutions but the person who asks it insists on the one he concocted.

Yeah, I never finished reading the thread.

Ian the Korean · 7th February 2002, 04:24

I say we make this thread similiar to a Q and A, but with riddles.

Easy starter: What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?

me109cito · 7th February 2002, 04:33

food???? or survive

really i dont know <-- in topic?

Ian the Korean · 7th February 2002, 04:46

Please tell me you are only kidding! Everyone knows that one, it was the sphinxes riddle. The next person better get it right or I will be depressed at the stupidity of those in these forums...

What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?

(after you answer put another riddle up)
