SapphireTiger 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Here's a good one,How much dirt is in a hole 6.24 deep, and 5.14 wide, 3.14 long measuring from the top. with a slope of 1.5 from the top to the bottom?I just read the whole thread and now I want to join in. There's no dirt in a hole.Here's one I heard on the tv show "The Office":You are a farmer on the bank of a river. You have with you, a fox, a bag of grain, and a chicken. Your objective is to get all three safely to the other side. You can only take one at a time. How will you do this?you take the fox acrosscome backyou take the bag of grain acrosscomebackyou take the chicken across.no where does it say you can't leave a chicken and the bag alone Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?I dont know if this was answered.but the hay is directly opposite from the horse 10 feet past where the horse is tied. so he has 5 feet of slack.edit: looks like it was, but i think my answer is correct too.

Ebonwoulfe 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I got the guy with feathers one, if nobody else has (I didn't read more after I got it, I wanted to post and say how clever I am!)Alright, the back guy cannot see two black feathers, or else he would immediately say white (since that's all that's left). The second guy realizes that the back guy must see either one black and one white feather, or two white feathers. If the second guy saw a black feather, using the last persons silence he would immediately know he had a white feather, since it was the only one that would cause the last person to be confused. If the second person saw a white feather, he would remain silent and confused himself. Since this is the case, the guy in front MUST have a white feather, or else the guy on the second stump would have already said something. So finally, the guy in front knows that all he can have is a white feather.edit: Yeah, someone else got it. Drat. Link to post Share on other sites

DaBruins 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 there are 12 balls that are exactly identical except for the fact that one of them weighs slightly different than the other 11. You are given an old-fashioned scale where you can put balls on both sides to see which side weighs more. You are given exactly 3 measurements, in other words you are given 3 chances to weigh the balls. You must figure out which of the 12 balls weighs slightly different and you must also figure out if it weighs more or less than the other 11. Link to post Share on other sites

The ball can be ligher or heavier and you have no idea which one it will be. Which means that when you discard the lighter side from your first weighing, you may end up with balls of equal weight.
