Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Onilance

Mr. Moody grumbles about bad time-keeping trains from morning till night!.

On one particular morning he was quiet justified.

His train left on time for the one hour journey, to Clarksville, and it arrived 5 minutes late.

However, Mr. Moody 's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes.

His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock.

If the train travelled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much

well first off, assuming the clock hes lookin at is station on the first trip, and assuming the station clocks at both stations are of the same time then his watch is actually 8 minuts behind, cause he only set it 3 mins ahead cause showed 3 mins early but was 5 mins late so th watch was 8 minuts behind the station clock. but he then left actually 5 minuts late station time cause his watch was still 5 minuts behind but to him ontime... thats as far as i got so far, that 25% thign stumping me

4. If your sock drawer has 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

Night Ranger
02-18-2008, 10:03 PM
Now for answers to the attempted

4. Five. There are only four colors, so five socks guarantee that two will be the same color.

5. Silence.

7. Seven. The four daughters have only one brother, making five children, plus mom and dad.

9. A lie. It can't be the truth without contradicting itself (and therefore being a lie), but some of my statements can be lies, and this is one of those statements.

10. Her autobiography.

14. A river.

15. There are eleven letters in "the alphabet."

16. A towel.

17. A stamp.

18. Fire.

19. The word "wholesome."

20. Bacon.

22. Just one - after that it won't be empty.

Good try everyone, try to answer all of them :P

3. Fill the 3 gallon and pour it into the 5 gallon. Fill the 3 gallon and top off the 5 gallon leaving one gallon in the 3 gallon container.

6. Mark is a minister.

Pigeon Poop

1.) The first number is 1. The second number refers to the first number, there is one 1 or 11. The third number refers to the previous as two ones or 21, and so on. Using that logic the last number in the sequence should be "1113213211", again refering to the previous number which has 1 one, 1 three, 2 ones, 3 twos and 1 one.

2.)"You will sentence me to six years in prison." If this was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If this was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Since he wouldn't contradict himself, the judge set the man free.

8.)Queue.

11.) Bertha is the name of a hurricane.

12.) You can't take a picture with curlers, you need a camera.

13.) 1.

21.) When you are a mouse.

1.A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:


The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?


2.Late one evening, a man and a his wife were driving their car at speed down a country road. The car spun of the road and hit a tree.

The man decided to seek help at a garage a few miles away.

He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the doors.

When he returned, his wife was dead, and there someone in the car he had never seen before.

No physical damage was done to the car, it was still locked?

How did the woman die?

Where did the stranger come from?

Okay well... Its not possible for there to be no physical damage done to the car if it just spun off the road and hit a tree, the whole reason he wanted to go to a garage. The wife may have died in the accident... but I have no clue where a person would have come from. Maybe I'm trying too hard because the first one was simple =/.

Now that I think of it he may have wanted to get help because his wife was already seriously injured... Still don't know where the person came from.

Dlav123
03-01-2008, 02:54 PM
