Okay, time for a MUCH harder puzzle!!! >

RULES:

Okay, so these things are little riddles called "lateral thinking puzzles"!! They suggest situations that sound really weird, but make so much more sense once you explain them. Yes, YOU!!!! Your job in this fun little thread is to solve the riddle... and you have as many guesses as you like!!!

If you were just guessing, though, we'd probably be here all day. So, you can also ask an unlimited number of yes or no questions! I will answer everypony's questions with "yes", "no", or "irrelevant", irrelevant as in you're asking something that just has nothing to do with the answer, silly!

If nopony gets the answer for a while, I'll give you all a hint! I usually have at least a couple of juicy hints for every riddle, so feel free to ask for one if you're collectively stumped!

Be careful, though! These questions can be really tricky, and you often have to take a step to the side in your assumptions to set your hooves back on the right path. You gotta think laterally!


If you get THIS one right off, I'm calling shenanigans!!


PUZZLE FIVE:

So, there's this thingy, alright? A THINGY!!! This thingy is only worth about four bits, maybe less!!

Then, a few minutes later, somepony grabs it! But when she does, the thingy is worth over 100,000 BITS!!!!!!

And then, even though she thinks that she is perfectly within her rights to take the thingy, another pony snatches it from her and insists that the thingy belongs to HIM!!!

Just WHAT is the thingy??
