but you didn't answer the first one yet.
neilep, i am sorry dear but you are wrong [:-X]

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]
neilep this one is for you as well because i think i've traped BenV this time for sure
yeah [:)]
ok now its my physicis class time since my break has come to an end now
but before i go one last question and to be honest i even don't know the answer my self
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
Where did the last doller go?
here you go guys
see you after i am finished with my physics class [:D]
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...
by the way i couldn't find you on the link [:(]Just look for someone on that page who could be using BenV as a username...
neil is BenV really handsome or you just trying to pull my leg
i've no idea what he looks like seriuosly

Hello Variolla
What's with the 'human flora' link? I do hope that wasn't a reference to me needing to change my deodorant!
I'm thinking about the three boxes puzzle. I'll have the answer in a jiffy. Possibly.
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.
Hang on. I'm having an Alzheimer moment!
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?
No, hang on. If the box marked 'apples and pears' 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.
It's nearly midnight. Maybe this will seem obvious in the morning. But when the likes of BenV come on line and see the mess we've made of this puzzle I will have to commit hari kari. [xx(]
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
Well done! john
I think we've got it
now lets think of a hard one for Nizzle

Does the tea looks nice?
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.

42 is the answer to all questions
The Suicide Act 1961 (9 & 10 Eliz.2 c.60) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It decriminalised the act of suicide so that those who failed in the attempt would no longer be prosecuted.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Act_1961
That suicide riddle (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=23661.msg280938#msg280938) is almost 50 years out of date (in the UK) ...

in which a race of inteligent aliens build a massive computer to establish "the answer to life, the Universe, and everything".
It takes millions of years and eventually announces that the answer is "42".
Unfortunately, it doesn't know what the question is.

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.

I don't know, try asking the man who killed him, hung him up, spilled water on the floor and then left the room locking the door behind him.
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.
Oh yes, I missed that bit where you said he stood on something.
How about a block of ice? Still a long, slow and painfull way to do it. Perhaps next time he'll buy a gun and shoot himself. (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbestsmileys.com%2Flol%2F10.gif&hash=6ec91e8a6973558a9092ab9ab4cf5ba4)

but what is the question ?
This one had me confused - I converted them to numbers, tries to set them to patterns etc - I'm not certain, but is the answer N T?
Here's two sequences of letters. Solve either or both.
There's only one remaining letter in each sequence.
These are original¹. Remember, you asked for tough.
B D F H ?
H K Q R ?
Ah, very cleaver... the next is numerically-linear so the whole two are J and S - i think... lolI 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.
Mmmm... The way i saw it was a complicated dual - one which works well spatially and the other which remained soley numerical... The increasing of the numerical values of the second example led initially to S - but perhaps it is a red herring?Yes, I agree my friend.
We will need to see from David. :)

If I remember my boolean algebra correctly then
1+1+1=1
is already correct. The = sign is used to designate the logical operator "OR".

Not to be picky or anything, but would that not be the + sign?

Is it quite a big cookie jar?
I think I know what B.C.'s getting at here. She squeezed the last child into the jar with the cookie. Not easy, I know, but probably possible if you cut his little arms and legs off first and maybe use a hammer.
There are 50 horses and 50 kings riding along an old dirt road. They came to a peach tree with 50 peaches. Each took one, yet there were still 49 left. How is this possible? [:)]
My idea was that it was a really big jar, but saying that would have given the game away.Is it quite a big cookie jar?

What? Don't blame me. It was B.C.'s idea!
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.Even if anit-Peaches exist you need anti-kings to prevent explosion and save other 49 kings.
Lets stick to L-Kira's version [:)]

I have a special one for "Chapman the biodiesel".
"Which English word is not in the English dictionary?"
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!

Only 3 words are in the English dictionary.
Also there are many questions that nobody can answer "yes" to; the usual answer to this riddle is "what does N O spell?".
There are lots of other possible answers like "who many beans make 5?" or "what's my middle name?".
