leXX Posted October 9, 2002 Author Posted October 9, 2002 ok, try these: A Donkey is tied to a rope 6 feet long and there is a bale of hay 8 feet away. How can the donkey get to the hay if he does not bite or undo the rope? Six and six IS eleven or six and six ARE eleven? Standing on a one way street, were two highway patrol officers, specifically looking for drivers who were in violation of local traffic laws. A taxi driver was going the wrong way down the street, however, the officers did nothing. What explanation can you offer? Maggie Mathematical has five sons. One is called Alpha, another is called Beta, the third is called Gamma and the fourth is called Fred. What is the fifth son's name.

leXX Posted October 9, 2002 Author Posted October 9, 2002 Originally posted by Padanime isnt it supposed to be TWELVE? he was going on foot that's the whole point, six and six are twelve. on foot = correct Now try the other two!
Pad Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 is the rope attached to something at the other side or doesnt that matter?
leXX Posted October 9, 2002 Author Posted October 9, 2002 that's the answer, the rope isn't attached. well done. one more!
Pad Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 most likely the answer is obvious, but i cant find it *keeps on hurting his head*
leXX Posted October 9, 2002 Author Posted October 9, 2002 It is a statement, not a question, so 'What' is the actual name of the son.

Pad Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 1. What starts with "e" ends with "e" and contains only one letter? 2. What is everyone in the world doing at the same time? 3. What do you break by saying just one word? 4. What question can you never answer "yes" to? 5. What can't you see that is always before you? 6. A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie." Is he telling you the truth or is he lying? 7. A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why? 8. A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Reb Starblazer Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 Originally posted by Padanime 1. What starts with "e" ends with "e" and contains only one letter? an Envelope Originally posted by Padanime 2. What is everyone in the world doing at the same time? growing older Originally posted by Padanime 4. What question can you never answer "yes" to? Are you asleep? Actually, I think that should read "answer truthfully to" This should prove fairly simple for everyone, but I feel like posting one. What is it that is always coming, but never arrives? And also, What can you hold without ever touching, or using your hands?

Guest Jed Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 What question can you never answer yes to? ARE YOU DEAD? There, I think that's right. And the question bout the carny? Did the boy step on something when he talked to the carny that gave the carny his weight?
C'jais Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 A lil' bit off topic, but what do these 2 abbreviations mean: I.E.? E.G.? And do english-speaking people just use them without knowing what they mean?
Eldritch Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 Here's some that are oldies but haven't been asked yet. 1) What's more powerful than God, more evil than the devil, rich people DON'T have it, poor people DO have it, and if you eat it, you'll die? 2) 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 kittens; kittens, cats, sacks and wives how many were going to St. Ives? 3) What happens once in a minute, twice in a moment, but NEVER in a thousand years?
Darth Homer Posted October 15, 2002 Posted October 15, 2002 1) not sure 2) 1 (only you are going, the others were merely "met") 3) the letter M
