sbarstow Report post Posted April 18, 2006 take chicken to B, go back to A, take feed to B, take chicken back to A take wolf to B, go back to A take chicken to B Very good, this is an easy one, I'll get a harder one soon Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. Tricky...very tricky, this one made me think! The third word is "language", it is used everyday and it is the third word in "the English language". I have been almost everywhere. Seen the world and so many places. But the whole time..I never left my small corner. Who/what am I? I would say a star in the corner of the universe...lame I know, it's what I could come up with.

sbarstow Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Easy: A beggar's brother died, but the man who died didn't have a brother. How could this be? Medium: You want to boil a two-minute egg. If you only have a three-minute timer (hourglass), a four-minute timer and a five-minute timer can you boil the egg for only two minutes? Hard: You have 9 golf balls, 8 of which are equal in weight. The ninth is slightly heavier then the rest. You also have a balancing scale. Can you use this scale two times and only two times in order to tell which ball is heavier? Harder: What has six faces But does not wear makeup. It also has twenty-one eyes, But cannot see? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arnieman Report post Posted April 18, 2006 Woman walks up stairs turns off the light walks downstairs and goes to bed Wakes up and kills herself Why? No clue to this one, Beaver... thinking on it. Easy: A beggar's brother died, but the man who died didn't have a brother. How could this be? The beggar is a female. Medium: You want to boil a two-minute egg. If you only have a three-minute timer (hourglass), a four-minute timer and a five-minute timer can you boil the egg for only two minutes? Start both the 3-minute timer, and the 5-minute timers. When the 3-minute timer runs out, start the egg. Hard: You have 9 golf balls, 8 of which are equal in weight. The ninth is slightly heavier then the rest. You also have a balancing scale. Can you use this scale two times and only two times in order to tell which ball is heavier? Yes. Put 3 balls on one side of the balance, 3 on the other, and 3 off to the side. If one side is heavier, set those three to the side for the next step. If both sides balance, the 3 on the side are used in the next step. Using the 3 you got from the last step, put one ball on one side of the balance, one on the other, and the third on the side. If one side is heavier, that is your ball. If both sides balance, the one on the side is your ball. Harder: What has six faces But does not wear makeup. It also has twenty-one eyes, But cannot see? Kendai got this one, it's a die. 6 faces, and 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a good American, I would have to say the answer is 'insurance'! My old fave: As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives, Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats, Every cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives, How many were going to St. Ives?

A woman walks upstairs. Turns off the light. Walks downstairs and goes to bed. WAKES UP THE NEXT MORNING AND KILLS HERSELF. Why is this?

A gas lamp is a really good idea, but that wouldn't be her killing herself that morning. So I'm stumped also. :-\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is this? hmm... lives in a lighthouse, turned off the light, causing a ship to crash, and hence commits suicide? other thing that comes to mind is in the (ant)arctic, where a 'night' changes in definition a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
