[JCNET Game] ANYONE UP FOR BRAIN TEASERS?

[cinsin]

ok this is an easy one....
How can you be behind a person when that person is also behind you?

let's all put our thinking caps on....

[Jo]

when his/her back is turned?

you're both behind each other

[aznboi08]

when you got mirrors around ya... and you guyz move around and stuff.
yeah....

[jakinni]

When you're back to back to each other.

[fireman2a]

when you got mirrors around ya... and you guyz move around and stuff.
yeah....

Hahah. . .errrrr. . . what??!!

[Chuci]

heyhey I got one!
There are 5 children with a cake, how can you cut the cake with only 3 slices, evenly for the children?

Am I right!!?

[jessca]

Hmmmm, slice it in quarters. . . and use the last slash to kill the 5th child! HAHAHAH LOL KEKEKE :) :) :)

Am I right!!?

:bonk:

Hes not right is he? :?

[Jo]

fireman you're a diabolical man :dry:

you can do that in two slices, with a very sharp knife

kill all five of them in one slash, and for the second slash, kill yourself

[faustine_yap]

think about this: susan meet her prince charming at her friend's funeral, the moment she went home she took a knife to kill her sister, why is that so?

* i will tel the ans a few daes later*

[cinsin]

How can you be behind a person when that person is also behind you?

jakinni and jo got it right, it is when you're standing back to back to each other.






off topic: nupengyou...I LOVE UR AVARTAR!!!!!!!!! ITZ SPONGEBOB~!! i love him~! lol
thx cystaltears, isn't he just so cute?!

[Chuci]

actually, fireman2a got the right answer. . . :dry:

only because his sense of reasoning is like one of a idiotic madman. . .
:D

[Jewel_Dust]

think about this: susan meet her prince charming at her friend's funeral, the moment she went home she took a knife to kill her sister, why is that so?

I thought this question has been asked before.

Well Susan went home to kill her sister so there will be another funeral.So then Susan can see her prince charming again.

This question was asked in Armed Reaction III. They said it was to ask suspects to see if they care enough about other people to murder... :oops:

Yeah I know it was asked in Armed Reaction III.But I remember reading it here in one of the threads before too....just can't remember which one though.Well that's the correct answer isn't it.Well it should be...

[cinsin]

Here's another one, kinda stupid though:
While walking down the street i met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane and in this riddle i told his name. What is this man's name?

[xiaoli]

Here's another one, kinda stupid though:

Um, randomly guessing.. Andrew? Hehe :oops:

[catseyes]

Here's another one, kinda stupid though:

Is his name the one in bold? Probably i am wrong~ :wstupid:

I have one:

A woman was walking along the streets. Then suddenly she saw this man, and went to give him a deep long kiss. Here's the question, the woman never seen this man before, nor was he handsome and no, he's not Jay Chou, then why did she kiss the man?

[cici bebe]

These are so weird. They could have any kind of answer.. o_O I give up!

Here's one:
Say SILK 5 times. Now, what do cows drink?

[Jewel_Dust]

These are so weird. They could have any kind of answer.. o_O I give up!

Here's one:
Say SILK 5 times. Now, what do cows drink?

Oh I remember this one Cici.My friends used to ask me to do that too....You're suppose to say SILK 5 times and when someone asks you what cows drink.You might say MILK(well most likely you'll say that) :laughing:

[jessca]

Another one similar...

What do you put into a toaster?

[xiaoli]

Hmm.. is that supposed to trick people into saying toast? Is it just bread? :?

Here's one:
You are in a room with two doors. One leads to heaven. The other leads to hell. In front of each door is a talking parrot. One always tells the truth. The other always tells a lie. You have no idea which bird is in front of which door. You can ask one of the birds one question to correctly determine the doorway to heaven. What question do you ask and to which bird?

Another one:
There was this black dog in the middle of a black road, all the houses are black and the moon and stars weren't out. The power was out in this town, and a guy whose headlights were out was driving down the road. He almost hit the dog but he swerved just in time. How did the man see the dog?

oo I like riddles :bleh:

[Jewel_Dust]

You have no idea which bird is in front of which door. You can ask one of the birds one question to correctly determine the doorway to heaven. What question do you ask and to which bird?

That's a really hard one....well to me.Hm....better start thinking about which door and which bird.

Jessca-I was wondering the same thing as xiaoli.Are you suppose to trick people into saying toast or something?

[jessca]

Jessca-I was wondering the same thing as xiaoli.Are you suppose to trick people into saying toast or something?

Yup....the answers bread!

Normally, you ask this question after someone answers milk to cici's question, and trick them twice! It worked everytime for me...hehe.... :D ..until xiaoli and Jewel_Dust saw right through it... :oops:

[Jewel_Dust]

:laughing:.Really it works on people...I never knew about the toaster thing though.My friends used to always do the one Cici metioned so I knew the answer thing to that.So the answer is bread.I should try that sometime too.

[sawmui13]

:hmm: wow xiaoli...yours are really good. i'm stumped. can we have a rule that after a certain number of guesses, the answer's revealed? i'm really want to know!!

heres one thats simpler...how do you turn ICE into WATER with one quick motion? (hint: no microwaves or fire involved)

[Jo]

put it in your mouth?

O o

[jayx8318x]

Hmm.. is that supposed to trick people into saying toast? Is it just bread? :?

You have no idea which bird is in front of which door. You can ask one of the birds one question to correctly determine the doorway to heaven. What question do you ask and to which bird?



I vaguely remember this question from one of my lectures on logic...

You can ask either bird: "Which door will the other parrot tell me is Hell?" And no matter which bird you ask, they will point you to one door, which is the Heaven door.

See if you ask the truth bird which one the lie bird will say is Hell, he will point to the Heaven door.

If you ask the lie bird which door the truth bird will say is Hell, he will point to the Heaven door.

I hope that's the right answer :glug:

[Jo]

i thought the answer was

which door will you go in when you die?

the lying bird will point to heaven, and the truthful bird will still point to heaven

O o

but Karen your answer makes sense too

[jayx8318x]

i thought the answer was

which door will you go in when you die?

the lying bird will point to heaven, and the truthful bird will still point to heaven

O o

but Karen your answer makes sense too

Ah but that's a subjective question, cuz not all people go to Heaven when they die.
So the question would be more like "Which door will you go to when you die, and you've not sinned?" or something...but that still won't work, cuz the lying bird will point to the Hell door.

[Jo]

ionno

i got that a while in an email

but it was with people, not birds =P

[jakinni]

Ok I saw this on a TV series...it's a bit dirty... :brows:

A signs outside a house said that you can gamble and by going inside and doing the three things the kid inside does, then you win the bet. So this guy goes in and sees a little kid sitting there.

The first thing the kid does is take off all his clothes, and the guy thought, well this is pretty easy, so he gets in the buff too.

Then a naked woman enters the room, the second thing the kid does is to go to her and start hugging her, and the guy's like "Alright!" I can totally do this and copies the kid. So now he's thinking he's got the bet in the bag if the next act is the logical next step.

After the kid does the third thing, the guy admits defeat and loses the bet.

What did the kid do???

[jayx8318x]

were they...re-enacting his birth? :crazy: lol

btw what are the answers to the other riddles??!! I'm dying to know.

[jakinni]

Another one:
There was this black dog in the middle of a black road, all the houses are black and the moon and stars weren't out. The power was out in this town, and a guy whose headlights were out was driving down the road. He almost hit the dog but he swerved just in time. How did the man see the dog?

Reflection of the dog's eyes??
Relfection of the dog's bared teeth??

were they...re-enacting his birth? :crazy: lol

btw what are the answers to the other riddles??!! I'm dying to know.

haha...no. Now that, even the kid couldn't do. :laughing:

[Jo]

"licking a dead fish?"

damn this is perverted

i'm not...honest :)

[Smonkkey]

I got it! A naked man comes in and the kid hugs him, but the guy doesn't and admits defeat....well maybe not. Am i right?

[jingnuu]

i wanna guess da birdy one!!

cant i ask anyone one of them
"am i dead?"

the answer is sure to be yes right??
then i'd know who's telling the truth and yea!! keekee

and for the 3 kiddo one...
the third kid kills himself??

[petheads]

Another one:

There's sunshine! :laughing:

[sawmui13]

ohhhh! i get it!

the answer to the ice to water one.

you use a eraser! voosh, in one motion you turn ice
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/148393/ICE.jpg
to water!
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/148393/WATER.jpg

hehe :happy:

[xiaoli]

jingnuu - I don't get your answer.. and you still wouldn't know which door leads to heaven.. :?

petheads - yup, the answer is "it was daytime" or "there was daylight" or what you said, "there's sunshine". the question tricks people into thinking it's night time.. :happy:

And Karen got the first one right, you ask either bird "which door will the other parrot tell me is Hell?" and it will point to the heaven door. When I read those, they both left me stumped so :bow: you two

catseyes, what's the answer to yours? o_O

jakinni - I agree with jingnuu, the kid kills himself.. the guy's not exactly going to follow suit. Either that, or the kid kills the naked woman.. cuz if she's already dead the guy can't kill her.. haha, that's the best answer I can come with.. is the answer supposed to be dirty though? :glug:

[cystaltears]

i got one~! it might not make sense tho..im not good with words neways..
once there was a man..he had a sickness and went to a far away country to cure it.. and it cured...on the way back from curing..he rode on a train and when the train went through a tunnel the man commited suscide...why? and what sickness did he have??
itz not really a sickness...so yea...sorry if it's confusing...

[jingnuu]

xiaoli - i mean.. if i asked the either of the birds "am i dead?" i mean, if i am not, then i wouldnt be there in the first place right?? or am i getting this wrong.
well... knowin for sure i'm dead.. then if i ask the bird who tells lies.. then it'd say no... then i would know that would lead to hell... if i ask the bird who tells the truth.. it'd say yes.. then i'd know it's lead to heaven....
right?? =_=

[xiaoli]

Even if you ask either bird that question, and find out which tells the truth and which tells lies, you STILL won't know which door leads to heaven, because the truth bird isn't necessarily in front of the heaven door and the lie bird isn't necessarily in front of the hell door.. get me?

okie cystaltears.. he was blind? So when they went through the tunnel he thought he was blind again, so he killed himself.. *shrug*

[fireman2a]

Xiaoli. . . if that really is the answer, I'd just have to say that the blind man must be pretty stupid . . . . :)

What would he think when the sun went down/someone turned off the light switch/closed his eyes? :)

[xiaoli]

lol psh, I'd like to see what kind of clever answer YOU can come up with then :tongue:

[fireman2a]

once there was a man..he had a sickness and went to a far away country to cure it.. and it cured...on the way back from curing..he rode on a train and when the train went through a tunnel the man commited suscide...why? and what sickness did he have??
itz not really a sickness...so yea...sorry if it's confusing...

Ok, I will take your challenge!

The man obviously lives in the wilderness, or some other faraway place, easy to infer since he "went to a far away country" in order to cure his sickness. A good guess about his whereabouts is in the safari regions of South Africa, or somewhere in a Middle Eastern desert. His location, as we will find out later, is of utmost importance to solving this riddle.

Another clue is uncovered when we discover that the man had a "sickness", as opposed to an "illness". This denotes that the man, who lives in a remote location somewhere in the world, suffers from a condition which is not life threatening. The distinction between an illness and a sickness is very fine, but still it exists.

The sickness was also curable. Since the author of this little conundrum placed no emphasis on the treatment sought after, we can only assume that the treatment was quick and relatively painless. The treatment could not have been anything else, as if this is so, the author of the question would have given us detailed records of the length of time treated/drugs taken/degree of seriousness of treatment/etc. . . Hence if the man underwent radiation therapy of the like, the author would not have neglected to mention the dangerous chemicals involved, or the sheer amount of time the man spent being treated. To neglect to mention these important details would be ludacris. . .

As mentioned earlier, his hometown is important to solving this riddle. So how do we find out where he lives? Clues already mentioned include :

1) He lives in a far away place.
2) There is no form of assitance for his sickness in the place where he lives.
3) There is a railway between his destination and hometown.

Putting all these clues together, it's obvious he lives on the moon. This is evident because :

1) The moon is indeed a far away place.
2) Unless things have changed the last time I checked, there were no hospitals or anything of the sort on the moon. In fact, there is nothing on the moon, save for this little man's house, or whatever a house is called on the moon. Maybe it's called a mhouse, even though it sounds too much like a rodent for my liking.
3) It has well been documented that there exists between the moon and the earth a bridge made out of bread. This bridge of bread has since gone stale, enabling the crossing of late model steam trains to make the dangerous journey from earth to moon.

Once we place all the pieces of the puzzle together, we come up with an answer to the riddle : the man obviously suffered a headache while living on the moon, possibly because his wife wouldn't stop talking. He searched his mhouse for some asprin, but remembered his wife had swallowed the tablet sometime last week. The lack of drug stores or chemists on the moon left the man with no choice - to return to earth in his homemade rocket. But, as we all know, rockets break up upon re-entry to the earth's atmosphere, so when he landed on the earth's surface, and bought a packet of panadol, he had no means of transportation back to his mhouse on the moon. But then he remembered the existance of the space bridge, and bought a ticket on the 7:43 express to the moon. The train ride was pleasant for the first 7 or 8 minutes, while the actual train was still fairly close to the earth's surface, however, once the space train reached an altitude of around 400 feet, the lack of oxygen made the ride for him rather uncomfortable. He then passed through a "tunnel" of clouds, around 5 seconds after the discovered the lack of oxygen in his surroundings. At this point, t

he man died. Since his fall was pretty much his own doing, we may classify this as a suicide.

And bob's your uncle. The riddle is solved. Add another notch onto the belt for Sherlock Holmes. :)

[loko]

lol, fireman2a are you serious? thats a pretty long answer
however...

The man obviously lives in the wilderness, or some other faraway place, easy to infer since he "went to a far away country" in order to cure his sickness.

the riddle says that he went to a far away country to cure it so he just went somewhere far from where he usually lives, it doesn't imply that he himself actually lives in a remote place. He could live in the city, and go to the Safari to cure himself, right?

i initially thought it was because he was blind too...but anyways, cystaltears, whats the right answer??

[fireman2a]

Ah, dear loko, you see, here's the genius of it all - if he lived in a developed city, couldn't the cure be sourced from there? Obviously, the place where he's currently at has no cure, which would mean it's not as adavanced as some other cities, hence travelling to a more developed city to seek the cure!! :)

[sesamestreet]

once there was a man..he had a sickness and went to a far away country to cure it.. and it cured...on the way back from curing..he rode on a train and when the train went through a tunnel the man commited suscide...why? and what sickness did he have??




The man is blind.

He is blind and went to a hospital/surgery to have his blindness cured....

of course he has patches on his eyes after the surgery, he takes the train...

the man wants to know whether the operation is successful and tries to take off the bandages/patches..... but the train at that moment is goin' through a tunnel

and so he can see only blackness again and thought that his operation was unsucessful

kills himself by jumping off the tracks


there...solved :laughing:


ok....i have a problem too....

cuz she had to do cpr on him...

hahahah...yepz the man was blind..man fireman ur so funny..yet gay..but u've got such a great imagination!!!!!! im like those stupid ppl who can never figure out these questions...pppl would always have to tell me the answers

neways heres another REALLY REALLY confusing one..like i said im not good with words

a man suicided on a desert...he was upsidedown in the sand (like head in the sand, legs straight up) around him were a lot luggages... in his hand he was holding half a match... why did he suicide and how did he suicide?

usually ppl would get how he suicide first..and they can never get why he suicided...but I GOT why he suicided first..im such a weird person..lol..good luck ppl..all of u ppl are all so smart...im sure u guys will get it

[fireman2a]

cystaltears - what's with you and people killing themselves! have you got that much of an effect on people when they first meet you eh? :) j/k

Well, since i haven't got a lot of time this round, I'll forego explaining in depth the answer to your riddle.

Quite obviously, this man is yet another being living on the moon. He was planning a trip to the earth, hence the luggage, but his space ship disintegrated 20 000 feet into the air. . . he was pulled towards the earth, landing in the desert with his ass in the air. . . .

As for the match? Well, our hero had learnt from school that heat rises. Unfortunately, the heat produced from a single match was not enough to retard his fall from grace. . .

Hope this helps! :)

[cystaltears]

You are correct~ :happy:

Here's one more from me, you must read it at one go~ This one is easy if read carefully~ More like a trick question~ :laughing:

3 hikers went into a motel and want to check in a room. The charges is $30. So each person came out with $10 each to pay for the room.

Now, the motel owner found out the rentage for the room was actually $25, so he asked his staff to take the outstanding $5 due to the 3 hikers. On the way to their room, this staff was thinking, "How do i divide $5 among them?" and pocketed $2 for himself. Thus every person got back $1, which means each of them paid $9 instead.

Here's the question, now each person paid $9 which means the total rent now is $9 x 3 person = $27
And together with the money the staff pocketed is $27 + $2 = $29

Where is the missing dollar?

[Jo]

can i answer if i've answered this same question in this same forum before?

[ddooll]

Thus every person got back $1, which means each of them paid $9 instead.

Here's the question, now each person paid $9 which means the total rent now is $9 x 3 person = $27
And together with the money the staff pocketed is $27 + $2 = $29

Where is the missing dollar?
$9 x 3ppl = $27
Thus every person got back $1
so, I think that means including the staff..
$27 + 1 = $28
$28 + 2(that the staff pocketed) = $30
The missing dollar was the dollar that the staff got back.
Am I right? :?

I got another one... think it's quite easy...

I don't know the answer though maybe Jessca's one is right.

Could we post IQ questions? Okay this person jumped down from a very very tall building and he did not die, but his chicken die. Why?
This is quite easy I got it from a book. I don't know if it's already posted.

[ddooll]

Thinking back to a TVB drama called 'The Four Aces' do you use oil? As oil and water do not mix...it simply floats to the surface.
Hehe... yes, it's oil. Can't believe you still remember that TVB drama... that's where I got it from. :laughing:

edit: His chicken died cuz he landed right on top of his chicken? :?

Hehe....im pretty surprised i remembered it too! :laughing: maybe its because i like mystery-solving dramas!

Yeh minimin, did he land on his chicken... :?

[minimin]

Well he did not landed on his chicken. It' quite simple guys.

Well I guess it's only the three of us here so I'll reveal it.

It's b/c he didn't die so his mom killed the chicken to celebrate. You know how chinese people love to use chicken to celebrate whatever events right.

[jessca]

It's b/c he didn't die so his mom killed the chicken to celebrate. You know how chinese people love to use chicken to celebrate whatever events right.

I see.... :happy: ...poor chicken.... :cry:

[minimin]

Yeah that was a poor chicken.....

I got another and it's quite very easy...I mean very:
Try to say this in chinese and you'll get it.

There is this man in a mountain when he roll down the hill he's not hurt. Why?
Hint again: Say this in chinese...it only works that way.....I can't write chinese so....it'll be so stupid when I reveal the answer though.

[Jewel_Dust]

I know this one!

The man didn't roll down the hill.He actually was looking down the hil so that's why he's not hurtl.I'm correct right? :glug:
If you say roll in chinese then you'll get it.I heard this from my friends before.

[minimin]

Exactly Jewel_dust.....you're right.



Here's another one, kinda stupid though:
While walking down the street i met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane and in this riddle i told his name. What is this man's name?

Is it cane? I dunno...I sound stupid already..anyways what's the answer?

I have one.....I got this one from a IQ site and it very very easy:
The doctor ask you to take 1 pill every 30 minutes and then how many do you take in one hour?

Next one: A man lock you up in a car....what would you do if you saw a hammer next to you?

[ddooll]

You would take 2 pills in a hour.

I would break the windows.... :)

[minimin]

DDoll those are not eh correct answers. Think again.

3 hikers went into a motel and want to check in a room. The charges is $30. So each person came out with $10 each to pay for the room.

Now, the motel owner found out the rentage for the room was actually $25, so he asked his staff to take the outstanding $5 due to the 3 hikers. On the way to their room, this staff was thinking, "How do i divide $5 among them?" and pocketed $2 for himself. Thus every person got back $1, which means each of them paid $9 instead.

Here's the question, now each person paid $9 which means the total rent now is $9 x 3 person = $27
And together with the money the staff pocketed is $27 + $2 = $29

Where is the missing dollar?

I think I remember seeing this and it's that he paid them back each three dollar which is $25+$3=$28 and the other two dollar is what the staff took. Kinda confusing when you first think that it's $9x$3=$27 and then three dollar are the remainders.

[jayx8318x]

I have one.....I got this one from a IQ site and it very very easy:
The doctor ask you to take 1 pill every 30 minutes and then how many do you take in one hour?


would it be 3? For example you take one at 1:00, then another at 1:30, then another at 2:00, so from 1 to 2 is 1 hour.


Next one: A man lock you up in a car....what would you do if you saw a hammer next to you?
If you're inside the car, can't you just unlock the car yourself? Or roll down the window? :laughing:
Assuming you're trying to get out.

[ddooll]

DDoll those are not eh correct answers. Think again.
I think I got it..... is it 1 pill? :?

Why can't I just break the windows and hop put? :laughing: jk jk....
I would threaten the man that if he doesn't let me out, I'll mess up his car by hammering it? :shifty:
Or I'll break the lock to the wheel (whatever you call the thing) and drive aways?

iernos...

[minimin]

Yes! Karen flowers for you :flowers:

DDoll you just unlock yourself since you're in the car.
It'll be three pills for the next one since you start with 1 pill then the it's 30 mins late you take another and then another in the other 30 mins so you end up with three. I learn these long time ago from a site I was browsing at and this IQ quiz just poped out in front of me.

[ddooll]

DDoll you just unlock yourself since you're in the car.
Then, why does your question say "what would you do if you saw a hammer next to you?" So I was assuming it has something to do with the hammer.....
:?

[minimin]

That's what IQ is for...they have to have something to trick you so you can think the other way. Don't worry I think most people think of that. Even I do too.

[cinsin]

While walking down the street i met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane and in this riddle i told his name. What is this man's name?

the answer was andrew but now that i think about it, it could be cane as well.

i've got one for you guys..
there's a man that lives on the 30th floor of an apartment building, everyday he takes the elevator downsatirs and then goes to work carrying a briefcase. it was a sunny day after work when he took the elevator to the 25th floor and then had to walk the other 5 floors (the elevator wasn't broken or anything like that). he did the same thing the following day after work but the next day when it was raining he took the elevator all the way to the 30th floor. why is it that on the sunny day he could only travel to the 25th floor and walk the other 5?

it may sound confusing and i may have left out some things but i think you can still work out the answer.

[GoNgZhu]

it may sound confusing and i may have left out some things but i think you can still work out the answer.

i noe this one!!! :)
because the guy was too short to press da buttons for the 30th floor on sunny days, but when it was raining he had an umbrella wid him so he can use the umbrella to press da button!!!!!!

now i got one:
If you entered a dark room with only one match, which would you light first? The candle, oil lamp, or the kindling wood?

[xiaoli]

None of them.. you'd light the match first. :)

Another one:
A horse is tied to a 15 foot rope and there is a bail of hay 25 feet away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?

Btw nupengyou, even though I guessed Andrew, I think catseyes' answer fits best.. "I met a man".. cuz Andrew and Cane don't make sense o_O

[Angels on clouds]

err...he bites thru the rope and releases himself so he can go to the hay?

[jessca]

Another one:
A horse is tied to a 15 foot rope and there is a bail of hay 25 feet away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?


My guess...One end of the 15 foot rope is tied to the horse, but the other end isnt tied to anything? So the horse can still move freely...

:cloud9:

[minimin]

arrange the digits 2, 3 , 4, 5 and the signs = and +
to make an equation.

I know, you split the equal (=) sign into two (_ _)and turn the + sign to a multiplication sign (x)....

2 4
-x-
3 5

Am I right? At least that's the only thing I can some up with for now.

[cinsin]

GoNgZhu got my brain teaser right....

i've got some more
1. What are the next two lwtters: A E F H I K L M?
2. Before mount everest was discovered, which was the highest mountain in the world?

[sabriel]

1. is it O?
2. mount everest

oh hey! this is FUN! haha. uhm i got one but its kinda stupid.. ahh well:
a mailman has to deliver a package to a house, but there is a ferocious "killer" dog tied to a tree in his pathway. How does he deliver the package??
(And there is only one path to the house and he can't throw the package because it's fragile! hehe)

oooh and another one:
A father and son are in a car accident and are brought to a hospital. The doctor says, "I cannot operate on this boy, he is my son." How is this possible??

haha some of these brain tesasers ppl r putting up r REALLY vague..so i dun know where 2 even start looking for answers...=P

[-dream-]

wow...that's a whole lot of brain teasers you guys have...o.O

anyways, i have one:

"the father of this person," said the man as he pointed to a photograph in his hand, "is my father's son, but i have no brothers and no son."

what relation was the man to the person in the picture?

oohh this is funn! alright, i have a really easy one:

a person commits suicide by hanging themself. when the investagators found the body, they found that the room was completely empty exept for the hanging body and a puddle of water. the question is how did the person manage to hang themself?

Great, now I know why people call these brain teasers :dry:

yay! you got it right!! heres another easy one, heard this one from a radio show: 5 people went outside with only 3 umbrellas, but when they came home, not one of them had gotten wet. how come?

[sUm^MeR]

yay! you got it right!! heres another easy one, heard this one from a radio show: 5 people went outside with only 3 umbrellas, but when they came home, not one of them had gotten wet. how come?

Because the weather outside is sunny. :happy:

I have this one from my dad. Kinda long. BUt anyway.

>One day the father wants the 2 sons to deliver two exact same packages to 2 different destination.
>Son A supposed to deliver the package to city A on the west
>Son B supposed to deliver tha package to city B on the east.
>Both destination had the same distance, the highway had same speed limit, and they both used same motorcycle.
>Both supposed to depart on 6 am and return on 7 pm.
>It was fall season and weather forecast says, both cities would be sunny, no wind, and their average temperature are the same.
>The father were so happy because he feels like he treat both his son fairly.
>But the mother said, "No, it's unfair for son B because he would be more uncomfortable when he drives."
>The father frowned.

Now help the father find out what so unfair about it?
*Hints : Think about nature/weather*

[petheads]

Because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So Son B driving eastwards in the morning and westwards in the afternoon would have the sun glaring at him throughout his whole journey. :happy:

My brain teaser for today:
Two men were being tried for murder. The jury found one man guilty and the other innocent. The judge turned to the guilty man and said, "Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free." How could such a bizarre judgement occur?

[fat_penguin]

A man goes to a party, he drinks the punch early on in the party, and then he leaves. Everyone else who drinks the punch gets sick. Why doesn't he get sick?

[catseyes]

Yes, you are correct. Actually, this question should be asked verbally instead, so that the ones answering can only hear the question once~

It's because most pple assume that the doctor is a man, but HEy doctors can be male or female!! hehe
Oh, but ::JianDan[Ai]:: (the man with the boy was a father as in priest.) That's a good answer too! I guess i should have specified by saying "a father and his son" sorry!

hm.. dunno - if the rock was huge then it could've jus dropped on their head through a glass ceiling? if not, then they could've died of fright when a rock flew through the window?!?!
okay these are just getting worse and worse..

add a hole to the barrel?
i dunno.. cause if you add anything, it'll displace water but add it's own weight to the barrel.. unless you add gas? but that'd be kinda hard..

anthony and cleopatra are fishes, a rock hit their tank and beacuse it broke they didn't have any water left for them to survive.

could you add a really big sponge to make it soak up the water? :laughing: will that make it wigh less?

wouldnt the sponge hold all the water that it soaked up, so it'd weigh the same?

Well yeah, since you've said it, he doesn't have to worry about the dog since it's tied to a tree. The dog can't chase him anyway. :bleh:

good guess sUm^MeR and lepencil! :thumbsup: it wasnt raining outside! its kind of like that other riddle we had earlier about it being sunny outside but everything was painted black or something,

hmm sUm^MeR, was it because the truck was never filled to the maximum 10 tons?

ok here's a new one. i got this off a website.

A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

is this a play on words? i hear something like this b4...except with a mirror...something like...u look into the mirror and u SAW what u "SAW"..u take the SAW...which would be the cutting tool =P and cut a whole in the wall and get out...

but i GUESS that works with a magnifying glass...not really =P

so here is my random guess...u lure the dragon into the room with the magnifying glass...kill the dragon...and exit out that door? ...but how would u get the dragon in that other room :?

interesting one...i cant wait 2 see the answer :D

[fat_penguin]

hm.. he waits til night and then goes out through the magnifying glass room?

Here is an old one i remember i NEVER got ...

A man walks into a pub and sits down at the bar, and simply orders a water. The bartender looks at the man, and then, quickly pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you," and leaves. Why did they behave this way?

[xiaoli]

I've seen that one before. The man has hiccups, so that's why he ordered the water. The bartender pulls out the gun so the man will be so frightened the hiccups will disappear. And so they do. :)

omg, now I remember when I was 10. I got hiccups. And suddenly my very best friend stared at me suspiciously and said, "Hey, you stole my pencil case." I was in shock and cried out. "No, I didn't. What are you talking about?" Then she stared me down, pretended she didn't believe me... then after waiting for 15 secs of silence, she said, "Does your hiccups gone?" And that's the first time I know that you can cure someone's hiccups by startling her/him.

i don't get the part about 'when the water runs on the water for 5 minutes suddenly it sinks'
does it have something to do with the fact that the lady suddenly went through labour and had a baby? making it 21 people on the vehicle?

does it have something to do with the fact that the lady suddenly went through labour and had a baby? making it 21 people on the vehicle?

Sorry, what I mean is "after the vehicle floated on the water for 5 mins, then suddenly it sinked."

The answer is not quite right. Try again. :happy:

[cherily]

cuz there was grps of 20 people entering it..as in grps of 20 so its many grps of 20..so that means that the capacity is exceeded rite?hmm..dunno whether this ish the ans tho..isit?

[Nissan]

I got very easy one...

The capacity of a vehicle was twenty people maximum.
One day, there were groups of 20 people entered it.
But one of the lady was 9 months pregnant.
When the vehicle runs on the water for 5 minutes suddenly it sinked.
What happened and why?

eh cos they are in a submarine??

lepencil,
u've got it.. :yeah:
heehee i still got quite a few from email... but not sure u guys see b4 anot...

here goes....
A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung is one foot
apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water. The tide rises
at 12 inches every 15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When
the tide is at it's highest, how many rungs are under water?

:glug: one?? just a random guess...
man..all the brain teasers are soo hard!!

[wackycashew]

is it 4 rungs under the water? does the 4th one count as "under" water if it's the same level as the tide? :? if it doesn't count, then my guess is 3.

[JianDan[Ai]]

is it 4 rungs under the water? does the 4th one count as "under" water if it's the same level as the tide? :? if it doesn't count, then my guess is 3.

i think its zero...cuz...if the tide rises...so does the boat..right? haha...i almost was gonna say 4 too =P

[wackycashew]

oopsies... i think you're right, JianDan[Ai]. i got too caught up with the math instead of using common sense. i always get tricked by these. :oops: heehee...

[JianDan[Ai]]

oopsies... i think you're right, JianDan[Ai]. i got too caught up with the math instead of using common sense. i always get tricked by these. :oops: heehee...

haha i do that all the time...i was typing up my answer...which WAS 4...when i realized it =P haha

[Nissan]

heehee
okie JianDan[Ai] has got the ans
:>
care 4 more?

wow you got 2/5 for the first test i only got 1/5 :laughing:
and i just don't get the second test, it's really hard i didn't even try to answer it.

[Nissan]

Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?

[xiaoli]

Well, the equation would be --> ½ x 2 + 2

Applying BODMAS, which we learn in primary school, we should take it as half of two, then plus two. Not as two plus two, then half of that. Hence, ½ x 2 = 1, and 1 + 2 = 3.

[jingnuu]

but then it could mean:
½ x [2+2] = 2

so it could b both!! haha

[xiaoli]

Yeah well, I'm getting technical here. He didn't mention any brackets, so you would assume you do the multiplication first. ½ x 2 + 2 is exactly how he said it - half of two plus two. So, like I said, "Not as two plus two, then half of that." :)

and geez, someone who can figure out that second one JianDan[Ai] posted must have a lot of time on their hands.. haha

[macdawn]

oh hey! this is FUN! haha. uhm i got one but its kinda stupid.. ahh well:
a mailman has to deliver a package to a house, but there is a ferocious "killer" dog tied to a tree in his pathway. How does he deliver the package??
(And there is only one path to the house and he can't throw the package because it's fragile! hehe)



I think I've got it....

The postman runs round and round the tree, out of the range of the dog. The dog while chasing after him would be winding his leash around the tree, and so it would get shorter and shorter. So the postman, just runs until the leash is so shortened that the dog cannot reach the pathway, and so the postman can go on his merry way?
:laughing: :bleh: :harhar: :thumbsup:

-MacDawn

Suicide...cuz if u commit it...u would be dead...and no one ...on earth...can punish u then :bleh:

[xiaoli]

People don't get punished, they get help. If you punished someone for attempting to commit suicide, wouldn't that drive them over the edge even more? But.. I can't think of a better answer

Hmm... the last one was a too easy. Here are some that I found in a brain teaser game I bought a long time back. Will put up more later, if you think they are interesting..... :wink: You know me, I am too lazy to type too many now....

Q1
Two very popular and common objects carry out the same function and yet one of them has thousands of moving parts, and the other hasn't any. What are these two objects?

Q2
What mathematical symbol can you put between 1 and 2 to make a number greater than 1, but less that 2?

Q3
What ten-letter word, begining with T and ending with R, can be typed by using only the top row of letters on a typewriter?

Q4
What do people commonly eat before it is born and after it is dead?

Q5
In the nursery rhyme Sing a Song of Sixpence, how many bluebirds were baked in a pie?

Some of them had me scratching my head for a long while......Enjoy!

4. eggs?
5. none..they were blackbirds

Havent thought of the first one yet though...

[JianDan[Ai]]

wow jessca...ur really sharp....i couldnt think of most of those...as for the first one.

Q1

i am impulsed to say a calculator and a abacus...cuz the abacus has lots of little moving rings...but the calculator...u jus press buttons..i guess? :?

[jingnuu]

i kno Q3 itz:
"typewriter" :bleh:

but for Q2 i'm guessin:
a "period"?? like 1.2??
i mean... it IS a number... jus aint a whole num...

[macdawn]

Hee hee... these are a few that I thought they are a little corny, but they also work the little grey cells.....

Q1
On my way to the fair,
I met seven jugglers and a bear
Every juggler had three cats,
Every cat has three rats,
Every rat has two mice.
All the mice had nine lice.
Lice, mice, rats and cats,
Seven jugglers and a bear,
How many in all were going to the fair?

Q2
What is the absolute last thing both men and women take off before getting into bed?

Q3
In 1968, a missionary was captured in the jungle by a tribe of cannibals. Once bound to a stake, the missioary began to preach like he had never preached before. Surprisingly, his sermon had an effect. The tribe found him so unpalatable, they decided not to eat him. They did, however, condemn him to death, and to be extra nic, they decided to give him one of three choices. He could choose to be burned at the stake, thrown into a pit of lions who hadn't eaten in two years, or he could choose to be burnt in oil. Which choice would give him the best chance of survival, or wouldn't it make any difference?

Hmm...i try answering...

Answer 1 : 1 person and that's me~
Answer 2 : i don't know this, but maybe take off their feet off the ground and go to bed?
Answer 3 : He can choose the pit then, all the lions would have already died (since they have not eaten for 2 years)~ :laughing:

Btw, macdawn, i think you are unaware of double posting? :wink2:

[mlimb]

i heard this one from my friend, but havent really thought about it myself yet :

ur in this room, and ur standing on a stool, cuz the floor is electrified (so if u stepped on it u would be electricuted (sp?) ). u have 2 candles, not necessarily the same size, but you do know that each candle, when burned, will last for 1 hr. u also know that after an hour and a half, the floor will be free of the electric thing, so you can walk on it, for a short time. as soon as you start out, both candles are lit. and you have no clothes or anything, you have nothing except the stool and the candles. how do you get out?

[fat_penguin]

cant u just wait until the floor becomes unelectrified?
im not sure what the candles have to do with anything... im assuming, light? if so cant u just let one candle burn at a time n b4 it goes out you light the next one?

[macdawn]

Hmm....

I think what the question is basically asking is, how can you make two candles, of different sizes, but each will burn for one hour, and let them last for one hour and a half exactly?

it that the idea?

I would think, that for the first candle, you light the candle and let it burn for till it goes off, and then light the other candle on both ends, so that it would burn evenly from both sides. the second candle should burn itself out in half the time it will take for the full candle to burn, ie, in half hour....

Did I get it right?

-MacDawn

[k-ren]

hey this isnt really a brain teaser but kinda funny.....question 1 i'll answer it for you guys coz it's not really funny if i'll let you guys guess it

A LIAR

2] what animal has all of it's body parts on the head?

Q2: A crab?
Q3: All ducks?

-MacDawn

[k-ren]

ok ok..these brain teasers are supposed to be told not written coz it wouldn't sound funny(especially the third one)..by the way..the second answer is a lice..and the third one macdawn got it right..i really can't think of any good ones right now..those up there are kinda lame(which i have posted)..hihihi..i'll try to come up with better ones next time though..

[JayCy90]

hmm...here's one..it's kinda lame..anywayz..

There is a bird flying in the sky.There is an aeroplane flying right above it.Suddenly, the bird fell and died.Why??

[Jay_cool]

cause somebody shit from the plane, and hit the bird.

[JayCy90]

hahahaha...that's exactly what my bro guessed....but nop...try again!!!

[mein]

hmm...here's one..it's kinda lame..anywayz..

There is a bird flying in the sky.There is an aeroplane flying right above it.Suddenly, the bird fell and died.Why??

Cuz the bird thought that the aeroplane was a giant bird and it got shocked?..haha

[YuCheng]

hmm...here's one..it's kinda lame..anywayz..

There is a bird flying in the sky.There is an aeroplane flying right above it.Suddenly, the bird fell and died.Why??

hmm.. tough one.. but since you said that its kinda lame.. then i'll just have to think the lame way.. hhahaha..

my guess would be that there is a hunter that shot the bird :? ..

[twi~light]

There is a bird flying in the sky.There is an aeroplane flying right above it.Suddenly, the bird fell and died.\

Well, if there's an aeroplane flying right above the bird... i.e. ON it.. then of course it'd fall and die.

Is that the answer? :p

[jaychou_21]

Try this one!
You're too smart if you can answer this correctly.

A man that is blind, deaf and can't smell is in a room. A person comes to sit next to him. She is also carrying a closed cardboard box. The man quickly knew there was a cat inside.

How?

[petricia]

hmm...here's one..it's kinda lame..anywayz..

There is a bird flying in the sky.There is an aeroplane flying right above it.Suddenly, the bird fell and died.Why??


Becoz of the shadow it created, the bird thought that it was the end of the world... got a shock and died? :glug:

is it becoz the areoplane landed and it landed on the bird thats y it died? :tongue:

and the blind man one, err he went and opened the box and so he knew it was a cat wen he felt it?!? :glug:

[JayCy90]

hhmmm. :whistle: ...nop...it's actually because the aeroplane was so noisy that the bird used its' wings to cover its' ears..so it don't have wings to fly no more...hahahahahha gotcha :D !..but the answer is pretty lame..:oops: :shy:

[FSUTan]

the man knew it was a cat cause he's allegric to it?

[Azns_Ang3l]

The aeroplane broke a piece and it fell on top of the brid

The man knew cause he isnt really blind hes faking it!!! lol

[Rurouni[X]]

Can anyone get this.. took me awhile
Four schoolchildren (two boys - Liam and Paul, and two girls Sandie and Melissa), were doing a project on exotic animals. They each chose a different animal (snake, elephant, crocodile and toucan), chose a different style for their project (poster, booklet, leaflet and magazine article), and chose a different source of information (books, video, internet and people).
With the clues, can you solve who chose what animal, style, and source of information for their project?
1) The four people are: Liam, the person who wrote about snakes, the person who did a magazine article and the person who used a video for their information.
2) Paul didn't write about snakes, nor did he use people for information.
3) The girl who wrote a leaflet used the internet for her information.
4) The person who did a poster wrote about toucans; the person who used a video wrote about crocodiles.
5) Sandie wrote about elephants, but she didn't use the internet or people.

I was clearing my older emails and found these questions...
See if u guys can solve it.

1. There is a man who lives on the top floor
of a very tall building.
Everyday he gets the elevator down to the
ground floor to leave the building to go to work.
Upon returning from work though, he can only
travel half way up in the lift and has to walk
the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?

(This is probably the best known and most
celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles.
It is a true classic. Although
there are many possible solutions
which fit the initial conditions, only the
canonical answer is truly satisfying. )

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *
2. A man and his son are in a car accident.
The father dies on the scene, but the child is
rushed to the hospital.
When he arrives the surgeon says, "I can't
operate on this boy, he is my son! " How can this be?

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
3. Why is it better to have round manhole
covers than square ones?
(This is logical rather than lateral, but it
is a good puzzle that can be solved by lateral
thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a
very well-known software company as an
interview question for prospective employees. )

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *
4. A man went to a party and drank some of the
punch. He then left early. Everyone else at
the party who drank the punch subsequently died
of poisoning. Why did the man not die?

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *
5. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman
for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun
and points it at the man.
The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
(This puzzle claims to be the best of the
genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely
baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution.
Most people struggle very hard to solve
this one yet they like the answer when they
hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it
out. )

[IncomparableYX]

1)needs water to operate the lift?
2)the boy is the surgeon's child but the man who died is a father of other people.
4)Because the punch was not poisonous. I mean eg. poisonous gas so the man who left was not affected.
5)the bar dont sell water?

lol i think i only got 1 correct. Got no clue for no.3

#1 i know it but its too long
#2 the answer is that the surgeon is his mom (not time travel, whoever thought of that thinks too much)
#3 the answer is that it can fall in, and circles cant
#4 the answer is that the ice cubes was the posioning
#5 the answer is that he has the hick-ups

[ch3rri3]

I know the answer to #1.
The man is very very short...when its raining, he brings umbrella wif him. Hence, he can press the elevator's button for the top floor using the umbrella's help. When its not raining, his hand can only reach the button for the floor halfway of where he's living. Then he has to climb the stairs from there :)

[ssejy_kun]

Whoa. how come everyone is so smart... *cry* Anyway, here's some from me, and i hope they hasn't been done before. ^^'

1. A man lies dead in a field. Next to him is a long piece or cord. How did he die?

2. Four college students arrived late for a lecture, explaining to their instructor that their car had suffered a flat tire on the way there. How did the clever lecturer immediately show those assembled that the late arrivals were not telling the truth?

3. A daddy bull drinks 10 gallons of water per hour, and a baby bull drinks 4 gallons. How much would a mommy bull drink?

4. A man and his wife were driving quickly from the suburbs into town when their car ran out of fuel. The man left his wife in the car after telling her to keep the windows closed and the doors locked. When he returned, although the doors and windows were still locked and had remained so throughout, he found his wife dead inside and a stranger in the car. The car had not been broken into or damaged in any way, and it had no sun-roof or hatchback; the only means of entry were the doors. How had the wife died, and who was the stranger?

Have fun! =)

Ok. I admit maybe these riddle are a teensy bit hard-ish, so following deeyan's advice, i will post up the answers in white. ^^

1. The man was bungee jumping and his rope broke. So he fell to his death, and the rope snapped rope landed near him.

2. The lecturer separated the students into 4 different rooms, then asked each of them which exact tyre was flat.

3. There's no such thing as a female bull.

4. The wife was pregnant. While the husband was gone, she gave birth to her child, and died in the process. Hence, the stranger was the new-born baby.

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

I got a riddle
There was a very talkative, highly-strung woman who hailed a taxicab in New York City. During the journey, the lady talked so much that the taxi driver got quite annoyed. He said, "Im sorry lady, but i cant hear a word your saying. Im deaf as a post, and the battery in my hearing aid is dead." This shut the woman up, but after she left the cab she figured out he had been lying to her. How did she know?

cuz he started to bump up his music? right? first thing i could think of is the radio or headphones./

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

err thats not the answer, the answer is very very simple, yet hard to guess because it is very obvious. I will reveal the answer in a few days time if no1 answers it.

[ssejy_kun]

As soon as i read the riddle, i was like "duh!" Is it coz, if he was 'deaf' then how would he be able to hear her telling him her destination, and know that she is actually talking.

[.huifen.]

If he's deaf and the battery for his hearing aid is dead, the taxi driver wouldn't even be annoyed. He can't hear her at all.

ok i got one.. it's quite easy..


要一不要二 , 要三不要四 , 要東不要西 , what word is it?
(sorry it is only effective if it is said in Chinese... but translation for it is....

This word has "one" but not "two", has "three" but not "four", has "east" but not "west", what CHINESE word is it?

(sorry for such bad translation!!)

ok hints.. this CHINESE word involves english AND chinese characters

(I got this from my aunt and dad and i also saw it in a TV programme!!)

Your Correct! and to the chinese puzzle, is the word 陈?

I have another riddle :
Arthur lives with his parents in chicago. Last week, while his paretns were out, Arthur's next-door neighbour Sophie came round to spend the evening. At one point, she popped out to buy some cigarettes. Just then, two men burst into the apartment and, ignoring Arthur, took the TV set, the stereo and a computer.
Arthur had never seen the men before and they had no legal right to remove the equpment, yet he did nothing to stop them. In fact, the didn't even act surprised by their behavior. Why?

[rosie]

ooh... Is it coz he planned it all? Like, he hates his parents, so he got Sophie to arrange for 2 people she knew, but he didn't know, to come in as sophie left, so the door would still be open when they came in. So, it looks as if they just HAPPENED to enter as Sophie was leaving. Then, coz Arthur knew this was going to happen, he just let them carry on with it, not the least bit surprised.

Is that it? Come on, it's so ingenious that it MUST be it... right?

Err that is not the answer but try harder :D

[sinyee]

okay i can't think of any reason. Tell me the answer! =D

[hk-kc-jc]

YiRanQiLiXiang

Your Correct! and to the chinese puzzle, is the word 陈?

yep.. you're right... too easy i guess...

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

okay i can't think of any reason. Tell me the answer! =D

Ok i think ill tell the answer. The answer is Arthur is a baby.

I have another riddle : There was a soldier whose duty was to guard the castle 24 hours. One day, he 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 it, then he ordered the soldier to be taken out and shot. Why?

[ssejy_kun]

Arthur was a... BABY?! Who would ever have thought of that? Well, not me for sure... *sigh*

next riddle: hmmm... is it coz he dreamt this when he as supposed to be looking after the castle "24 hours", and since he wasn't supposed to fall asleep, he was duly PUNISHED!!!!

is that it? :?

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

wow ur soo smart, when i read up the riddle myself, i was like what the..? Hmm correct answer! Well done!

Next Riddle : This next riddle is pretty hard one and if u can solve it, ur a real genius. What is the next word in the following series : aid, nature, world, estate, column, sense........?

Is it a)water, b)music, c)welcome or d) heaven.

Hint : Read the series carefully
Hint 2 : Numbers

[ssejy_kun]

OMG! I've got it!!!!

Well, firstly (and this is wrong) i thought to count the number of letters in each word, and then it would turn out like this: 3,6,5,6,6,5. Then i thought it looked like a palindrome, so the next number would be 6, which means the next word can only be heaven... as it turns out, this gives the right answer (i strongly believe) even though i did it the wrong way.

Well.... coz i knew that probably wasn't the way to do it, I was thinking for like ten minutes... then I thought to count the number of words: 1,2,3,4,5,6... And then i suddenly thought SIX.... SENSE.... SIXTH SENSE!!!!!!! Then, i put ordinals on all the words: first aid, second nature, 3rd world, etc... Then the SEVENTH one must be... HEAVEN!!!!! (well, i don't know what '4th estate' and '5th column' mean.... but the rest worked ^^') Wow. that's so neat!

HEAVEN!!!!!!!

Now for another riddle:

There are 2 ducks in front of 2 other ducks.
There are 2 ducks behind 2 other ducks.
There are 2 ducks beside 2 other ducks.

How many ducks are there?

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

Ok i bow down to u, ur a real genius.

As for ur riddle, i will think thoroughly

And i have another riddle : An egg takes 4 mins to boil, how many minutes does 4 eggs take to boil altogether? ( i duno if this has been posted before)


EDIT : i found ur answer!!! the answer is 4 ducks because its like this :

D = duck

D D
D D

[ssejy_kun]

Oooo ooo... I have another riddle which i was reading just then.

Pronounced differently but spelled the same
I have many meanings from obscure to mundane
In a trip across water I get there before you
In precipitation amazing, a marvel to awe you
One naming of me means to acknowledge the praise
I move fastest in music as the violin maestro plays
Taught to children of all ages , or trip up they would
I was also much favoured by a notorious Hood.

What am I?

hmm... i'll think about your riddle too.... *thinking noises*

um... is it 16 minutes?

[icetears-]

YiRanQiLiXiang; It's still four minutes, cos you cook them together :-)

[ssejy_kun]

Wow! Well Done with the duck question! It was kinda confusing for me at first.

And with the egg one.... well, technically, coz it takes 4 mins to boil 1 egg, then cooking the 4 eggs for only 4 minutes wouldn't boil them, it would only cook each of them one quatre. Wouldn't it? i guess it depends on the size of the 'pot'. If it's big, then they should all cook in the same time... and if it's small, then it should take longer.... Or maybe i'm just cooking-challenged... *cry* Ack! I'll stop being pendantic. Sorry!!!!

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

lol u guys got it correct. it is really easy.

And for ur riddle, the answer is bow. Because it can be pronounced as bow ( as in cow/bow ) and bow ( boe ).

I have another riddle : 10 men with hats were walking on a street, and a strong wind blew the 10 men's hat down. A boy, upon seeing this, went to pick up each hat and give each to a men without knowing whose hat were whose. What is the probablity that only 9 men got their correct hats back?

[xx0lovalauraxx]

umm. when you go back through time? LOL. this is fun.

[YiRanQiLiXiang]

Wrong. The possiblity is zero as if 9 men got their hats correct, the 10th should get the correct hat too.
