Title: A Brainteaser for you silly intellectually inferior people !
Post by: Trintius on December 16, 2000, 05:25:06 AM
Here\'s a simple Brain Teaser for you all -

Harry Jones was driving home in his car, with his son Robert in the passenger seat. The car was involved in a head-on collision with the truck, killing Harry outright. Robert was seriously injured and taken to hospital by ambulance. In the hospital operating room, his would be surgeon took one look at Robert and said, "I\'m sorry, but I can\'t operate on this patient- he\'s my son." What is the explanation?

If you\'re gunna act like a big sh[/i]it and bi[/i]tch whinge because you think it\'s years old then fu[/i]ck off out of my topic, I don\'t give a fu[/i]ck if it is 40 years old, im sure for every person who has heard it before five others haven\'t.

Righto hurry up and answer and you\'ll get another one.

P.S - Yes im board.

This was easy.

Dang, I was just writing the answer and saw your answer there Shawnimal!

Well, if this is Brain-Teaser topic let me include this.

( I wrote this into another topic as well but let me write this again... you can expect more from me too )

In a small village were only two Barbers with their Barber-shops. Other Barber had always bad hair-cut. Other Barber had always up-to-perfect and clean hair-cut. Now you, as must-have-a-hair-cut, have to decide wich Barber is better. So, wich Barber is better?

( this may be easy and lame but answer it still :) )

Post by: Shawnimal on December 16, 2000, 05:37:08 AM
Dude, you go to the Barber with the BAD haircut, since they most likely cut each others hair.

Again, old and lame... there are tons of those old lame riddles:

Quote

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives.  Each Wife and seven sacks, each sack had seven cats, and each cat had seven kits.  Kits, Cats, Sacks, Wives... how many were going to St. Ives???


And at least that one rhymes.

Fine another easy one and i\'ll start getting tougher -

A man holds a rifle horizontally 6 feet above the ground. At the moment he fires it, another bullet is dropped from the same height, 6 feet. Ignoring frictional effects and the curvature of the earth, which bullet hits the ground first?

Same time. That\'s simple physics.
Title: A Brainteaser for you silly intellectually inferior people !
Post by: Darth Joyda on December 16, 2000, 05:46:52 AM
Here\'s few more...

1. If 2 hours ago it was as long after one o\'clock in the  
afternoon as it was before one o\'clock in the morning. What time  
would it be now?

2. Two boxers are in a boxing match (regular boxing, not kick  
boxing). The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds but ends after 6  
rounds, after one boxer knocks out the other boxer. Yet no man  
throws a punch. How is this possible?

3. With thieves I consort, With the vilest, in short, I\'m quite at my  
ease in depravity; Yet all divines use me, And savants can\'t lose  
me, For I am the center of gravity. Who or what am I???  

more to come when you\'ve answered these :)

2. The boxers are women
3. The letter "v"?

You\'re right. Good :)

Well, here\'s some more:

1. Two mothers and two daughters were fishing. They managed to catch  
one big fish, one small fish, and one fat fish. Since only three  
fish were caught, how is it possible that they each took home a fish?

This is a mathematical problem; and a really hard one. It takes little longer answer. Here goes:

2. Suppose you\'re in a hallway lined with 100 closed lockers.
You begin by opening every locker. Then you close every second  
locker. Then you go to every third locker and open it (if it\'s  
closed) or close it (If it\'s open).  (Let\'s call this action  
toggling a locker.) Continue toggling every nth locker on pass  
number n.  After 100 passes, where you toggle only locker #100,
How many lockers are open?

this is hard :)

lets see how fast you can solve this one ;)

Here\'s an old lame and easy one:

Every morning a man takes the elevator down from his 18th floor apartment.  Every evening, he takes the elevator up to the 6th floor, then takes the stairs the rest of the way up.  Except on days when it rains... then he takes the elevator all the way up.  Why does he do this?


That one is old and simple.
Title: A Brainteaser for you silly intellectually inferior people !
Post by: Shawnimal on December 16, 2000, 06:11:50 AM
The first one is easy... One grandmother, One Mother, and One daughter (makes up 2 mothers & two daughters)

Then second one would be 50 (give or take one) I\'m not doing the math.

A man is found guilty of first-degree murder. The judge says, "This is one of the most vicious criminal acts that has ever come before me and I am satisfied beyond any doubt that there are no mitigating factors. I wish I could impose the stiffest sentence at my disposal, but I have no choice but to let you go." What is the reason for the judge\'s decision?

A sharpshooter hung up his hat and put on a blindfold. He then walked 100 yards, turned around, and shot a bullet through his hat. The blindfold was a perfectly good one, completely blocking the man\'s vision. How did me manage this feat?

A soldier dreamed that his king would be assassinated on his first visit to a foreign city. He pleaded with the king to cancel the forthcoming trip, believing the dream might be a terrible omen. Pondering a moment, the king thanked the soldier for his advice and confirmed that he intended to take the trip. Then ordered the soldier to be taken out and shot. Why?

Because it says the king will be assassinated on his [meaning the soldier\'s] first visit.  So if the soldier is dead... no assassination.

I\'m not sure about the middle one though, but I think he hung up the hat to his gun.

Correct?

Here is a tough one, maybe.

A man comes home late one night and is so tired he doesnt even turn on the lights. He goes right to bed. He wakes up and reads the paper, then he shoots himself.

WHY?

Here is another, not so tough.

Two men decide to climb up a mountain that has NEVER been climbed before. When they get to the top, they see a cabin. Much to their surprise, the cabin has people inside of it. The people are all dead.

EXPLAIN THAT!

Another one?

A man, 6 feet tall is hanging from a rope 2 feet long under a ceiling that is 10 feet tall. There is nothing that he could\'ve stood on to hang himself anywhere on the ground. THe only thing below him a small puddle of water, how did he do it?

Here\'s some easy and stupid ones :)

A girl was murdered. Under arrest was three men. A Santa Claus, a Vampire and a Priest. Wich one killed the girl?

and

A plane crashed into the border-line of Finland and Sweden. Wich side were the wounded buried?

hehheh.. very easy :)

and here\'s some harder ones...

A man has recently escaped from prison and is making his way home on foot. He is walking along a straight rural country lane in bright daylight. He has walked about two miles from the prison, when he sees a police car coming toward him. Despite knowing that all squads would be out looking for him, he ran towards the car for a short while, and only when he was about ten feet away, did he turn and run into the woods to hide. Why did he run towards the police car?

and...

There is a room. The shutters are blowing in. There
is broken glass on the floor. There is water on the floor.
You find Flippy dead on the floor. Who is Flippy?
How did Flippy die?
hehe

and the last one...

 I have seven letters. The first two stand for a boy. The
first three stand for a girl. The first four stand for a brave boy. But all of
my letters stand for a brave girl. What word am I?

There\'s millions of possible reasons! But here goes one:
He came from searching his missing daughter. Goes to bed. Awakes in the morning; reads the paper and finds out his daughter ( or son, whatever ) has been found dead.

The man is a gambler. He has gambled all night and comes home late. Then he wakes up, reads the paper and finds out he has lost all his money in some kind of horse-race :)

OK, I will add a little to it, although it is much more pleasing when you can get the answer with out a clue. This is still a stumper though.


A man comes home late one night and is so tired he doesnt even turn on the lights. He goes right to bed. During the night, he hears a loud noise, but doesn\'t think anything of it. He wakes up and reads the paper, then he shoots himself.

2000 Darwin Awards Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
Drunken teens dare dive down trash chute.
Man trashed.
(14 July 2000, Canada) It was a dare that Sheldon, 25, will literally never take again. He and a group of friends found themselves at a Calgary apartment after an evening spent at a local bar. It was there that a joking challenge was issued. "Who wants to ride the in-house water slide?" The slide was actually a garbage chute. Sheldon volunteered, tumbled into the opening, and his subsequent headlong slide beat the standard elevator service down to the first floor. An unforgiving trash compactor awaited his arrival, and friends administered CPR there until emergency crews arrived at the scene. But they were too late. The 12-story fall had already dispatched Sheldon to his Darwinian demise.

His obituary was simple and understated. "Sheldon, age 25 years, passed away accidentally... Memorial donations may be made to Goose Lake High Educational Foundation Inc., for a Community College Bursary in Sheldon\'s memory c/o Mr. Boris Bugera, Box 759, Roblin, MB, R0L 1P0."

Find two whole numbers (each less than 10) such that the sum of their squares, added to their product, will make a square.

a couple more...

1)The local historical society has leased a castle to use it as a museum. The original lease was 99 years. I asked the curator how much time was left on the lease. His answer was as follows: two-thirds of the time past is equal to four-fifths of the time to come.

How much time was left on the lease?

2)It takes 10 snails 50 minutes to cross a walkway from when the first snaile slithers onto the walkway to the last snail leaving. The snails cross single file and the walkway is only wide enough to accomodate eight snails at a time. The snails travel at the same speed and each snail is on the walkway for the same length of time.

How long is each snail on the walkway for?

OK, fill the 3 gallon jug then pour it in the 5 gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon jug again, and fill the 5 gallon jug.  You have a full 5 gallon jug, and 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug.  Empty the 5 gallon jug, pour in the 1 gallon from the 3 gallon jug.  Fill the 3 gallon jug and pour it in the 5 gallon jug with one gallon, and whalla, 4 gallons!

Joyda, just say the word and I will tell you the answer. You may kick yourself after hearing a reply. It is the best puzzle I have ever heard.

What has roots as nobody sees,
is taller than trees,
up,up it goes,
and yet never grows?


A box without hinges,key, or lid,
yet golden treasure inside is hid.


Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.


Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.


An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face,
"That eye is like to this eye"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place,
 Not in high place."


It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.


Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail, never clinking.


No-legs lay on one-leg,
Two-legs sat near on three-legs,
four legs got some.


This thing all things devours:
Birds, trees, beasts, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

A man holds a rifle horizontally 6 feet above the ground. At the moment he fires it, another bullet is dropped from the same height, 6 feet. Ignoring frictional effects and the curvature of the earth, which bullet hits the ground first
The  bullet you dropped.  The other one was shot paralell to the ground.

A man is found guilty of first-degree murder. The judge says, "This is one of the most vicious criminal acts that has ever come before me and I am satisfied beyond any doubt that there are no mitigating factors. I wish I could impose the stiffest sentence at my disposal, but I have no choice but to let you go." What is the reason for the judge\'s decision?
The person is a conjioned twin, and it would punish the innocent one.

Well, I find this thread intriguing, so I will add a bew and interesting one...


Their names are Pat, Chris, PJ, Stacey, and Bobbi. They are your Cousin, Uncle, Mother, Brother, or Sister. They serve Popcorn, Chips, Carrot Sticks, Pizza, or Cookies. They cheer for the Broncos, Raiders, Packers, Cowboys, or Patriots.


Neither Chris nor Stacey serves chips (which are served while watching the Broncos).

The cookies are not served while watching the Packers or Raiders. Pat isn’t your brother (your brother doesn’t serve cookies or pizza.)

PJ is your cousin (and doesn’t serve cookies or carrot sticks) who watches the Patriots.

Your sister doesn’t watch the Broncos or the Packers; and the Packers fan doesn’t serve carrot sticks. Chris is not your brother.

When you go to Bobbi’s house, pizza is served, but Bobbi is not your uncle.


Solution Hidden Below:

[sp]The PJ is your cousin who watches the Dolphins who didn’t serve cookies or carrot sticks (clue 3), or chips (Broncos, clue 1) or pizza (Bobbi, 5), so popcorn. The cookies weren’t served while watching the Packers or Raiders (2) so Cowboys. The carrot sticks (4) weren’t served during the Packers, so Raiders, thus the Packers fan serves pizza. Pat serves chips (1). Your brother (2) serves carrot sticks (4) as is named Stacey. Chris serves cookies. Your sister (4) serves cookies. Your uncle wasn\'t (5) serving pizza; he served chips. Your mother served pizza.

Thus: Pat – Uncle – Chips - Broncos
Chris – Sister – Cookies - Cowboys
PJ – Cousin – Popcorn - Dolphins
Stacey – Brother – Carrot Sticks - Raiders
Bobbi – Mother – Pizza – Packers
