Post by: BenV on 15/06/2009 11:48:37
I suspect I know an answer, but the rearrangement of the name I'm thinking of it important to some, irrelevant to others.  Might I ask if the answer has a religious connotation?

how do you know that? [???]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 15/06/2009 12:19:27
It just seemed obvious - though if I'm right I would disagree that it's "the most important ONE in every one's life."
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 15/06/2009 12:22:55
by most important I didn't mean that its important for people but if some agree or disagree it is the most important one.

It's obvious isn't it....It's Rotter (another name for Rottweilers) and when ewe remove the 'R' it becomes the most important animal ever..Otter !!

Post by: omid on 15/06/2009 14:51:19

Post by: BenV on 15/06/2009 14:55:09
wowwwwwwwwwwwww

Okay - My guess was Dog and God, but you may well have tricked me.
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 15/06/2009 14:56:34
your answer is right for the dog and GOD
but lets move on to the next one
i need answer for that [:D]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 15/06/2009 14:58:30

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 15/06/2009 14:59:49
I can't help but be pulled towards "Rainforest" as they often have green skies, red earth and black people - but the earth colour isn't consistent enough - many forests have brown Earth...
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 15/06/2009 16:59:47
OK fine let me put it into easier words for you though your first guess is  not right
the planet is green the atmosphere is red and the creatures are black
tricky one right
if still couldn't find then ask me for a clue [;)]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: neilep on 15/06/2009 17:14:22

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 15/06/2009 17:32:48
neilep my dear
your answer is wrong  [:(]
just scroll the page up and see BenV has the right answer
but let me repeat it for you the answer was dog when we change it becomes GOD
am i clear now?
i surely would've given you a balloon but i don't know how to put it in the forum.
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: neilep on 15/06/2009 18:36:18
are ewe sure it's god & dog... ? BenV could have got it wrong !!

I'm still convinced it's rotter and otter ...

here are some balloons for ewe anyway (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbestsmileys.com%2Fballons%2F2.gif&hash=d2db26283c8a3ac5df2636700876ea78)



*le sigh*...rotter and otter...much better !!
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 15/06/2009 18:41:55

If you're asking metaphorically then I think you are describing a green mouldly bread jam sandwich with ants in it.

yes..yes I am sure I  right this time (like last time too !)

Whoa there - now you've switched it around!

Just to be sure
Green planet (i.e. green earth)
Red atmosphere (i.e. red air)
Black creatures

Well, it's obviously not rainforest, now that you've switched them around.  I'm quite stumped.  I would hazard a guess that it may be sunset, but I doubt that's right.
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 16/06/2009 10:42:24
OK i'll give you guys a clue
i am some kind of refreshment and you can find me in summer

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: neilep on 16/06/2009 10:57:50
At least I got the ' edible' side of things correct when I was sure it was an ant infested jam sandwich !

It's a drink...or an ice lolly of sorts !! ?
Title: Re: who can answer this one?

Title: Re: who can answer this one?

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 16/06/2009 11:29:20
OK another one [:)]
A business man had to fly for a business trip to some other country, when next morning he decked up and was about to leave the house for the airport his night watchman stopped him and said that I dreamed last night that the flight you are going in, is going to crash so please don’t go. The man paid heed to his night watch man and cancelled his trip. After few hours the news flashes that the same flight has crashed and there are no survivals.
Now the man was quite impressed by his night watch man and rewarded him a lot but at the same time he sacked him from his job why? [;)]
Any guesses? BenV or neilep of course [:D]

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 16/06/2009 11:56:48
Again - I know this one, so I'll let others guess.

If you really want to know, highlight the following:

If he had been dreaming, he must have been asleep on the job!

There.

A man has a lion, a sheep and some grass with him.
He want to cross a river and the problem is that, the boat he has got, he can take only one thing at a time now how is he going to take all the things and cross the river.
The countdown begins………….
Tik tik tik tik tik tik tik [;)]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 16/06/2009 13:25:33
I assume the lion will eat the sheep and the sheep will eat the grass, if left alone?

If so...

First take the sheep across
Then return and pick up the grass
Drop the grass off and pick up the sheep again
then return, drop off the sheep and pick up the lion
drop the lion with the grass, then go back and pick up the sheep

Job done.

3 men want a hotal room for the night each payed $10 per room = $30 total the manger said you charged to much the manger gave $5 to bob (the kid at the booth) bob did not know how to split $5 between 3 so he put $2 in his pocket and gave $1 to each of...

the 3 men so each man payed $9 for the room. $9 times 3= 27+the $2 bob has = 29

I'm in there: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/about-us/who-are-we/ - but it's not a great picture - it's small and I'm squinting, as it's the middle of the day in sunny Thailand...

This is an oldie, but certainly a goodie - my dad used to tell it with 3 men buying a piano together.

It's a lovely trick, but the answer is that you do not add the £2 to the £9 they paid, you take the £2 away, giving the correct total of £25 - If you're subtracting the £1 they each got back from the total, you need to subtract the £2 that bob pocketed too...

I could do with a clue - Initially I thought it was something to do with things being made from bone - like a bone handled shaving knife or brush - but I couldn't make that add up.  Then I thought the skin may be leather, the hair wool... This time, Omid, you have stumped me.

Post by: omid on 17/06/2009 17:00:03

Lychees are lovely - but do they have anything resembling hair?

Hello students
Any new home work for your teacher because you previous answers are wrong [>:(]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 18/06/2009 12:33:27
Well, I'm stumped - I can't think of a hairy, meaty, skinny, bony fruit.
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 18/06/2009 12:35:47
OK I'll make it easyest for you guys [>:(]
Its a fruit when you peal the skin then you reach the real fruit(meat) when you eat the fruit at the end you'll find hairy kind of structure(hair) and at the end there is seed(bone).
You better find it now or your teacher will give you 0 on 10 [:(!]

BenV and Neil, you both get 0 on 10 for this one [:(]
OK just wait I'll get another on for my students [;)]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 18/06/2009 12:58:36
I've never thought of Mangoes has having a hairy structure around the seed - I'll have to look out for that next time I eat a mango!
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 18/06/2009 13:03:01
BenV tell me honestly don't you like mango and please this time when you eat one make sure you see the hairy structure and you can find a ripe mango easily on a fruit shop these days, summer fruit you know [;)]
well i've another one for you and Neil

Post by: BenV on 18/06/2009 13:47:33
Well, all of these answers are correct, they're just not the specific one you're looking for.  The stairs, the bannister, the carpet runner, the walls, a (long) wall hanging - they all go from upstairs to downstairs without moving...
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 18/06/2009 13:55:54
Actually the carpet runner is the one I was looking for, JnA again got it right(well done again JnA) I was just waiting for your answer well I'll post my next one when my  2nd student(Neil) is here

By the way Emilio Romero had almost guessed it so let me clear it

2) Once there was poor blind old man, God asked him to make one wish and I'll fulfill it for you. the man had three sons, one suggested that he should ask God for his eyes so that he could see the world, the 2nd one suggested that we are poor so he should ask God for wealth, the 3rd one suggested that you don't have any grandchild so he should ask for a grandchild to God.
Now the question is that how can he ask for all the 3 wishes in one sentence (without a punctuation and conjunction in it) so that God'll fulfill it for him?

OK, that's your first wish- what are you doing with the next two?
You might have asked for 3 more wishes or for 4 in total.
Of course you might say "I want to see my grandson grow up rich"

Here's one I saw on Die Hard 3, how do you get exactly 4 gallons of water with a 3 gallon and a 5 gallon bottle?
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: Karen W. on 14/07/2009 13:34:47
you put 10 gallons of water into a container by filling the 5 gallon containers twice..then you use your 3 gallon container to remove 6 gallons ie (two three gallon removals) thus leaving you with exactly 4 gallons of water.

Fill the 5 gallon one - pour it into the 3 gallon one - this gives you 2 gallons in the 5 gallon tub.

Pour away the 3 gallons

Pour the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon pot

Fill the 5 gallon one

now top up the 3 gallon one from the 5 gallon one - this will only take one gallon leaving you with 4 left in the 5 gallon pot.

Swims isn't swims when rotated 90 degrees  [???]
Here's another riddle:

Yes yes, this riddle was made by Albert Einstein himself.

There's a street with five houses on a row in five different colors. In each house lives someone with a different nationality. The five persons all drink different beverages, all smoke a different kind of cigar, and all have a different animal as pets. Someone has a fish.
The riddle is: Who has the fish?

Clues:

* The Brit lives in the red house.
* The Swede has dogs for pets.
* The Dane drinks tea.
* The green house is next to and left of the white house.
* The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
* The person smoking "Pall Mall" keeps birds as pets.
* The owner of the yellow house smokes "Dunhill".
* The man living in the house in the middle drinks milk.
* The Norwegian lives in the first house.
* The man smoking "Blends" lives next to the person that has cats.
* The man owning a horse lives next to the man who smokes "Dunhill".
* The person smoking "Blue Master" drinks beer.
* The German smokes "Prince".
* The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
* The man smoking "Blends" has a neighbor who drinks water.

Play fair! No peeking on the interweb!

Yours is just math.
First you double the number, then you add four (the double of two).
Then you take half of that so you have your number again plus two
Then if you subtract your number you always have two.

New riddle:
3 friends had a bachelor party out of town, and at the end of the night, they decided to rent a room for the night.
They go up to the reception and rent a room with 3 beds for one night at a rate of 30 euros.
The guys decide to split the amount fairly and each pays 10 euros for the room.

They go upstairs and start getting ready to go to bed when the hotel receptionist knocks at the door.
He said to his guests that he made a mistake and that the room actually only costs 25 euro since it's off-season and gives 5 euros back to his guests.
Being fair as they were, the 3 friends decide to take back 1 euro each and give the receptionist the other two euro as a tip for being honest about the price.

So now, the guys paid 3 times 9 euro, which is 27, plus the two euro tip for the receptionist, which totals up to 29.
BUT! Before going up to their room they each paid 10 euros, which totals up to 30 euros.

What happened to the missing euro?
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: Variola on 01/09/2009 12:19:48
Nothing happenned to the missing euro, the sum reads.

starting price = 30.00

adjusted price = 25.00

refund price = 5.00

guys kept 3.00

gave back 2.00

Total 5.00

Right. The box marked 'apples and pears' must have just one variety, so whatever comes out of that box is what it contains.

If the two fruits pulled from the other boxes are both the same I don't know how to tell which box is mixed.

I've got half of it. I'll think some more.

Right, it's easy.

One box is marked 'bananas and grapes' and contains just grapes. So there's only two options left. The box that is marked 'grapes' must therefore be the only other option, 'mixed'. And the last box has to be the coconuts, cos that's all that's left. Yes? So where were the oranges again?

Pretty much!!! [:)]

Aside from you changing the fruit.... [:P]


Ok the box marked 'apples and oranges' must only have one type of fruit in it, because it is incorrectly labelled. Therefore if you pull an orange out of it, you label it 'Oranges'.Then change the Oranges box to Apples, and the Apples box to 'Apples and Oranges'.

I think!  [;D]

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: John Chapman on 01/09/2009 23:40:03
No, hang on. If the box marked 'apples and oranges' contained oranges I would label it 'oranges'. So far, so good.

But why change the 'oranges' box to 'apples'? How do you know it's not mixed? Especially if you can pull an apple out of either.

I thought I had the answer before. But it was just teasing me!

Apples, oranges, pears, grapes, bananas???? What's this, a fruit salad question?

The mango & kiwi box is labeled wrong, so what you pull out is the only fruit in it (say mango).

From the remaining boxes, one marked mango and the other marked kiwi, you pull one fruit each.

From the box marked kiwi, you pull out a kiwi, this box is therefore marked wrong and must be the mixed box.
Or from the box marked kiwi, you pull out a mango, this box must must be either the mango or mixed box.
From the box marked mango, you pull out a mango,

Here you go John,

There are three boxes. One is labeled "Apples" another is labeled "Oranges". The last one is labeled "Apples and Oranges". You know that each is box labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick one fruit from one box.

How can you label all the boxes correctly?

Since you can pick only 1 fruit in total, here's how to do it:
You first take a fruit from the box labeled as mixed.
Let's say you pull out an apple.
Now you know that Mixed -> Apples

Now you also know for sure that Apples -> Orange and Oranges -> Mixed since all boxes were labeled incorrectly, and if Apples were mixed, the box Oranges would be labeled correctly

Imagine a closed Room with no windows and 1 non-transparent door.
In the middle of the room is a light bulb hanging from the ceiling.
On the outside of the room, somewhere where you can't see the door, there are three light switches.
Only one switch is connected to the light.
Your assignment is to determine which switch controls the light, but you can enter the room only once. Once in the room you have to tell which switch controls the light before exiting the room again.

How would you know for sure which switch controls the light

Does the scenario start with all switches in the 'off' position?

If so, I may have figured it out.

thats exactly what I am thinking of, I've done it in my 7th standard but that was about 3 bulbs. but I too think that the answer is related to the swtch being hot or something [:-\]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: John Chapman on 02/09/2009 10:50:53
Right. I reckon I've got it.

Bulb starts off and cold. Flick one switch for 60 seconds, then off. Flick second switch on for 60 seconds, then off. Flick third switch on and enter room. Bulb will either be slightly warm, very warm or on. This corresponds with first, second and third bilb respectively.

While I'm waiting: Here's one for you all..

A knight was summoned by the King to rescue his daughter. She was held captive by a wizard and protected by a curse.
The King explained the curse to the knight as the wizard explained it to the King.
"The wizard has magically constructed two towers next to each other, each with his own stone guard.
When approaching a guard, it comes to life and you're allowed to ask one question.
After asking one question to one of the guards, it's impossible to ask a second question to any of two guards.
One of the two guards always lies, to any question asked to him.
The other guard always tells the truth when asking him any question."
The King continued his explanation: "After asking the question, You have 5 minutes to open the door of the tower in which my daughter is held captive. If you wait any longer, you'll get struck by lightning, if you open the door of the tower that doesn't hold my daughter, you will also get struck by lightning."
"Do you know which guard is lying and which guard is telling the truth?" asked the knight to the King.
"No, I'm afraid not." was the King's response.

The Knight prepared himself for the quest, saddled his horse, and drove it towards the two towers, while thinking..

Which question would I have to ask to one of the guards to know without a doubt in which tower the princess is held captive?
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: BenV on 02/09/2009 14:42:14
Would the other guard tell me that this is the door to the princess?

Posted on: Today at 13:26:56 Posted by: Variola
 

Ask one guard what the other guard would say when asked which tower the princess is in, then go to the other tower.
If its the lying guard, he will tell you the opposite of the truthful one.
If it is the truthful guard, he will tell you what the lying one would say, which wouldn't be true.

Well now when I've answered your question, I think its your turn now [;)].
"a rich man had two sons who were very lazy, when the man was about to die he called his two sons and asked them that he is going to give all his wealth to one of them.
he asked them to have a race till the capital city and the one whose horse will reach the capital the last would be the winner. the two sons after that starts roaming around so that none of their horse could reach the capital. they explained their situation to an old man. the old man said two words and after hearing that they both starts the race as fast as they could.
What were the two words?"

Beulah is such an unusual and specific name that I wiki'd it. One of the results is Hurricane Beulah. That's something that everyone would rather live and die over the sea than over the Appalachians. And there must have been a Hurricane Craig. So could that be the answer?

OK I've an very intersting one for you guys.
A man had a donkey which he used to use for taking goods to the city to sell. in the mid way there was a small river which they had to cross. the donkey purposely slip down in the river so that half of the stuff is wasted in the water and his wieght becomes lighten. the man gets the donkey's trick. now he has to think of something that does not waste in the  water and the donkey should also learn a lesson. what that could be?
I was in my 5th standard when my teacher told me this now its you guys turn answer please.

Post by: omid on 09/09/2009 15:20:12
I can say you're quite close but the answer is a bit different.
think of something that if the donkey would slip in the water and stand back he should feel the wieght loaded on him more havier then before.

3 cuts

You take 3 of the 4 chains and lay them like so in first diagram ....Then you take the other 4th chain and make 1 cut in each of the three links and join the remaining three chains together with each of the 3 cut links making 1 continuous loop with only the three 3 cuts!

I was being perfectly serious. I grant you that riding an elephant bareback might be difficult but what the heck. In real life I can't ride a horese anyway. No other animal is going to bother an elephant and the elephant is big enough that it might not notice (or care about) you climbing on its back.

Quite a lot of options look better than picking a fight with a lion.

His son's father (himself) is his father's son (himself, again). The portrait cannot be of himself, or his father would be his father's own son.

Three closed boxes have either white marbles, black marbles or both, and they are labeled white, black and both. However, you're told that each of the labels are wrong. You may reach into one of the boxes and pull out only one marble. Which box should you remove a marble from to determine the contents of all three boxes? [;)]

The box labelled 'both'.
This is because whatever colour that is in the box labelled both is in that box (obviously), therefore, whatever colour that isn't in that box is in the box is in the box labelled with that colour, and the remaining box has both in it.

i.e. if you reach into the box labelled 'both' and pull out a black marble, then the container labelled 'white' must not have white in it, so the white must be in the box labelled black (as all of the labels are incorrect)and the container labelled white must have both in it.

A man has been arrested in Norway for attempting to smuggle snakes about his person in a case that has brought a very literal meaning to the term "trouser snake".

The Norwegian had 14 royal pythons and 10 albino geckos concealed under his clothes as he disembarked from a ferry in Kristiansand, south Norway. He had also concealed a tarantula in his bag. Customs officials who found the spider in its unorthodox lair decided to search the man, discovering the scale of the offence.

Now, you see, you didn't say he'd committed suicide, you just said he was dead.

OK, so he puts a rope through a pulley in the ceiling. To one end he attaches a counterweight slightly lighter than himself. He pulls the other end of the rope through the pulley, so the counterweight is suspended, makes a noose and slips it over his head. He then pees, making himself lighter than the counterweight. The counterweight descends pulling the man up by the neck. He dies a long, slow and painfull death by strangulation.

Would have been easier and a damn site quicker to have just jumped out of the window, unless the room was on the ground floor.

Perhaps the reference to coastline is in proportion to the state itself, ie. Hawaii is completely surrounded by water, therefore 100% of its border is coastline. Alaska has a border with Canada, therefore less than 100% of its border is coastline. Also, the question was which state is surrounded by the most water, and because Hawaii is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean (the largest ocean in the world) then it sortof wins.

There is a common English word that is seven letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains a common English word - from seven letters right on down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing a letter at a time? [;)]

Omid, as I said, you give us questions that are so difficult to answer. I have tried to find a seven-word answer, but I can only find this eight-word answer:

HONESTLY = in an honest manner
HONESTY = the quality of being honest
HONEST = truthful and trustworthy
HONES = hone (third person), see below
HONE = to sharpen a blade with a hard fine-grained stone
ONE = being a single thing or unit
ON = in a position above, in contact with, and supported by
O = a variation of “oh”; or one of the four ABO blood groups

I remain diligently at work on this problem.  [::)] [;D]  Do not give up hope on me!

omid is even impressed by your eight letters word [:)] [:)] [:)]
But since omid want you to work a little more hard, so here is the next one [:-X]


What six letter word in the English language contains ten other words without rearranging any of its letters? [;)] [;)] [;)]
Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: omid on 30/11/2009 08:19:06
I have failed you again, darn  [:-\].  Here is the word I found with 13 words inside without rearranging the letters, but one of them is considered slang. Do I get partial credit?  [:o)]  Or is there more to it than this?  I heard 13 is an unlucky number.

BELIED = misrepresented

BELIE = to misrepresent
BE = to exist
BEE = the hairy flying hymenopteran insect
BEL = a unit of acoustical energy (= 10 decibels, of course)
BED = a piece of furniture for sleeping or resting upon
BLED = emitted or lost blood
BI = shortening of bisexual (slang)
BID = to offer a price or fee
EL = an elevated railway
LI = a Chinese linear unit of measure equal to about 1/3 mile (adopted into the English language)
LIE = make a knowingly false statement
LIED = made a knowingly false statement
I = first person subjective pronoun

Omid is VERY impressed with your knowledge, omid wish omid was as intelligent as you but [:-'(] [:-'(] [:-'(]

omid'll give you the answer

The word is Spared. The ten words are:
Spa, Spar, Spare, Pa, Par, Pare, Pared, Are, Re, and Red.

I think you're right about the J, but wouldn't the next letter be Y? But I can also see S as the next too. Just depends upon whether one goes back to the addition of two letter sequence or, adds 3 more to the following group as was done witin the second grouping.

Four men are buried up to their necks, they can't move and they are not allowed to talk to each other. They all know that there is four of them, and that two of them have red hats and two have green hats. They have 10 minutes and within that time one of them must call out the color of his own hat, if that does not happen they will all be shot.

After one minute the correct answer is given, which one was it and why?

@ EatsRainbows
The B guy goes "oi, I've got the green hat" because if he had a red hat the guy behind him would be like "ha, this is too easy, I've got the green hat" because he can see two red hats in front of him. But since he doesn't do this, the B guy must have a green hat.

(thought you'd catch me, eh?)

the rest of riddles that omid has are quite easy and can be found on internet too, so omid went back in the thread and found that one of omid's riddle remained unanswered. So you try that DiscoverDave. [:-X]

Once there was poor blind old man, God asked him to make one wish and I'll fulfill it for you. the man had three sons, one suggested that he should ask God for his eyes so that he could see the world, the 2nd one suggested that we are poor so he should ask God for wealth, the 3rd one suggested that you don't have any grandchild so he should ask for a grandchild.
Now the question is that how can he ask for all the 3 wishes in one sentence (without a punctuation and conjunction in it) so that God'll fulfill it for him? [;)] [;)] [;)]

C4ME's answer for this riddle was "I want 3 wishes"
Which was wrong [:-'(]
Now C'mon, this really is gona prove the BEST WORST job for you [:-X]

Title: Re: who can answer this one?
Post by: Karen W. on 28/12/2009 04:04:26
http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_longest.html

Is it,
(45)PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS also spelled as:

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS)= a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

(37) HEPATICO­CHOLANGIO­CHOLECYST­ENTERO­STOMIES = a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.
This is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.

(34) SUPER­CALI­FRAGI­LISTIC­EXPI­ALI­DOCIOUS = song title from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins.
It is in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Omid, there’s one part I clearly have trouble with in your latest riddle ... should it ask “What am I” or “Who am I”, depending on whether it’s a thing or a person?  If it’s a thing, then it can’t really ask “What am I”, now can it?

 [::)] [::)] [::)]It ACTUALLY is asking WHAT am I??? [::)] [::)] [::)]

A man goes out drinking every night, returning to his home in the wee hours of every morning. No matter how much he drinks, he never gets a hangover. This drink is very well known, but is rarely consumed, served warm and taken straight from its source. The man is a sucker for a free drink, especially since he can't live without it.

My guess is beer.
It's said that what really made Britain great was that we adopted the customs of making tea and beer. Both processes remove the vast majority of harmful bacteria. Lots of other placed did tea or beer; we were enthusiastic about both.
I don't know how realistic this idea is, but it's a good story.

Then he went there for no reason, because he is a fool.

Another intresting one! [:)]

there were two restaurants on the same road, one was big and of high quality while the one is small and of low budget.
the low budget one put a board on the shop stating "the best restaurant of the town"
Looking at this the big one changed its board and put "the best restaurant of the city"
the low budget one again changed its label stating "the best restaurant of the country"
and so did the big restaurant by stating "the best restaurant of the world"
when it was observed by another one(small) he put something on the board that made the big restaurant closed.
what did he put??????????? [;)]

A 6-foot tall Magician had a water glass and was holding the glass above his head. He let it drop to the carpet without spilling a single drop of water. How could he manage to drop the glass from a height of six feet and not spill a drop of water? [;)]

..no no ..that's far too simple....did some aliens come down and shoot him with their ' freezing ray'..but they missed him and shot the glass and froze the drink so that when he was startled and dropped the glass he did not spill a drop !!


yes..yes..this is true because this happens a lot to magicians when they attempt this trick !

That's great, but I think the better version of it is this:
"What came before God, is greater than God, is worse than the demon, rich people have it, poor people need it, if you eat it you die ?"

Although I do not much agree with the fact that rich people need nothing.

Just for your information, they gave this question to K.G students and kids, and 95% answered it correctly, and they gave it to after-graduates, and only 5% answered it correctly!!! I am not kidding.

If it's somewhere in the words below, then it's "a roll of the dice" as to which it is.  Any "chance" that you might "risk" another hint so as to remove this "obstacle" before us?

While you ponder this discordous among us, I'll go blendous some frondous for my salad tonight, although I might need to drive my hybridous to the store for more splendidous food, which might make me tardigradous for your reply (don't worry, I won't get schizopodous over it, but the food will certainly fill my stomatopodous, and I would end up turgidous).

amphipodous, anarthropodous, annelidous, apodous, arthropodous, blendous, brachiopodous, brachypodous, branchiopodous, centifidous, curculionidous, deccapodous, discordous, frondous, gasteropodous, gastropodous, haemapodous, heteropodous, hexapodous, horrendous, hybridous, infandous, infecundous, iodous, isopodous, jeopardous, laemodipodous, lemuridous, ligniperdous, macropodous, mesomyodous, molybdous, multinodous, nefandous, neuropodous, niggardous, nodous, olidous, palladous, pelecypodous, peristeropodous, phyllopodous, polymyodous, pteropodous, pygopodous, rhizopodous, schizopodous, solipedous, splendidous, steganopodous, stomatopodous, stupendous, surquedous, tardigradous, timidous, trachelipodous, tremendous, turgidous, vanadous

A wise King wants an honest child to take his place on the throne. He gives each of his 3 sons a pack of flower seeds and tells them that the one who grows the most beautiful flowers from these seeds will have his throne. Six months pass and the king checks the flowers. The first 2 had beautiful flower beds while the last child had nothing in his plot but weeds and no flowers. Yet, the king chose this child to have the throne. Why? [;)]

In 1209, on a hot summer day there was a man who was ordered to be executed by king. The king was a nice king though, and he said that if the man could prove himself wise, he would let him go. The king filled a room with fake flowers, and only put in one real flower in the room. The king said the man had 20 seconds to find the real flower. The man said, "It's very stuffy in here. Could you open a window?" The king opened a window, and the man immediately knew which was the real flower. How did he know? [;)]

The five meter rope gives the horse a 10 metre diameter, easily allowing him to travel six meters to get to the bail (ie the bale of hay is 1 metre beyond the anchor point of the rope).

What about if the horse lives on a really, really tiny planet, so small that the horse can walk right round the planet on his 5 metre rope and creep up on the other side of the bale? In fact the planet would be so small that it would have virtually no gravity so the rope is probably there to stop the horse from floating off into space. Of course the bale of hay would have to be glued to the ground for the same reason.

Am I getting close?

Yes, yes, thank you B.C. and RD. I'll try to be more precise with my articulation of G Spots in future. (Now there's a sentence I didn't think I'd be writing when I got up this morning!)

And what do you think their collective noun should be? Perhaps an ecstasy of G Spots?

My wife has just suggested a 'neglect' of G Spots. What you trying to say, Love?

A mother gave birth to twin boys, but they were born in different years and on different days.

clue 1: Different days ?
clue 2: Different years ?


it says different days and after that years ??
it should be end of the year.Moreover, end of the day with a 60 seconds difference.
therefore, let us consider first on was born on 31th of December 2009 at 11:59PM.
here is the end of the Day, also end of the year.the other twin will be born on 12:00Am of Jan 2010.
which makes difference of 60 seconds! so, the condition satisfied Omid.this is only possible in your question. I bet this never happened in "REAL".

one of the king's name is "Each" among 50 kings and also he's the only one that took one of the peaches.

It's possible if we consider that each Peach (each atom) has an anti-peach. So, assuming that you have 50 'real kings', and one anti-king you didn't count because it does not belong to the category of 'real kings', you have 50 'real peaches' gone, and one anti-peach gone. Hence 49 (anti-)peaches left. Oh, by the way, the Peach and the anti-peaches never came into contact. Then you would have zero Peaches, zero trees, and zero kings.

Lets stick to L-Kira's version [:)]

Even if anit-Peaches exist you need anti-kings to prevent explosion and save other 49 kings.

That's a true story. He was in hospital at the time and was suffering from mental illness. He tried to stuff all his food in his mouth at the same time and choked.    [xx(]

His father also suffered from mental illness and so did his son, my father, all around their mid-life period. Worryingly, I'm now 46. You will let me know if I ever say anything strange, won't you.

There was once a man who had a very selfish and unkind son. So one day the father sent his son to the market with one coin and said, "I am sick and tired of your selfish ways. Take this coin and buy with it: something to feed the cows, something to plant in the garden, something for us to eat, and something for us to drink. Dont come back until you do this!" He is only allowed to buy one item. What did he buy that fulfilled his father's wish? [;)]

A woman who lived in germany during world war two wanted to cross the german/swiss border in order to escape nazi persuers. The bridge which she is to cross is a half mile across, over a large canyon. Every three minutes a guard comes out of his bunker and checks if anyone is on the bridge. If a person is caught trying to escape german side to the swiss side they are shot. If caught crossing the other direction without papers they are sent back. She knows that it takes at least five minutes to cross the bridge, in which time the guard will see her crossing and shoot her. How does she get across? [;)] [;)] [;)]

She starts walking across the bridge immediately after the guard goes back in his bunker. She walks towards Switzerland for 2.5 minutes, then turns around and starts walking back to Germany. The guard then sends her to Switzerland because she has no papers.

At first I thought it might be 'biodiesel' and it's not included in the Oxford English. But it is in the Cambridge Online. So now I'm stumped.

By the way, I have been addressed as 'John the Bio' by a few people at work. I keep trying to establish the nickname 'John the highly intelligent and quite good looking as well' but for some reason it hasn't stuck. Actually, I'm addressed in a whole variety of ways but 'John the Bio' is one of the few that's fit to print!

I do hope this isn't a juggling one - cos BC is right; it's impossible. 

And also because juggling three 10lb bowling balls whilst walking across a rickety bridge is next to infeasible. I have kilogramme juggling balls and after a few minutes my arms are tiring and you miss a catch; five times the weight and balls that don't even come close to fitting in one's hand - that's a circus act.

This was a question on the radio this morning, and Omid is currently residing there, in the lovely British Island, made up of England, Wales and Scotland.

Demographix, the other brain cell belongs to a certain dove that I am hand rearing, as it was evicted from it's nest. Lovely little bird, called B5, a continuation of the series of flying rats I have brought up to the point of kicking them out into the wild again.

I think Omid is confusing her second language again, I am not a male chicken who cuckolds the henhouse.

Look, it's easy...

In the word 'one' I am letter number two, ie 'N'.
In the word 'two' I am letter number one, ie 'T'
'on high' means you add those two letters to the word 'over'
All this makes the word 'ntover' which is a little known outer mongolian word from the Darhan region of Ulaanbaatar, meaning 'just the same'. See? Simples.

Next time you're stuck dont forget to ask!

Omid - this is where we have got to; we are looking for three words that sound the same but are spelled differently.  One spelling has two meanings "observed or cut". One the two spellings mean "on high" and the last means "in pain".  Don please correct me if I am wrong!

What am I? [;)]
