    well im bored so heres a game......Im going to say a riddle and if you get it you get the start a new one...if the first person doesnt answer the next person has to answer it until its solved, ok simple.

    Riddle:

    Your in front of a river and you have a FULL 9 ounce bucket, and a EMPTY 4 ounce bucket.How can you end up having 6 ounces of water in the 9 ounce bucket?

    1 Hint: it uses Adding and Subtracting

    GOOD LUCK laugh.gif

    dump out the 9 ounce bucket, fill the 4 ounce one, put it in, then fill the 4 O one, put it in again so you have 8 ounces in the big one, fill the 4O one up and pur it so the 9O is full, that leaves 3O in the small bucket. pour out the 9 ounces bucket, add the 3O from the smaller one, fill up the smaller one pour it in the larger one so you have 7O, then fill up the small one pour it in until the big one is full, that leaves 2 ounces, dump the big one, pour in two ounces, then fill the small one and pour it in for 6 ounces.

    Thats a long explanation, hopefully I didn't miss a part of it

    I won in the shoutbox, so my turn again:

    Two guys apply for the same job. They both look exactly the same, have the same last name, same address, same birthdate and same age. The interviewer asks if they're twins, and they laugh and say no.

    How is this possible?

    Date: Tue, Jun 22 2010 05:05:06

    They're part of a triplet.

    Uhh lemme see

    Okay so three men enter a sauna together. There's a mountaineer who just got back from an expedition, a lawyer who is on a business trip, and a basketball player who is on vacation. They each take into the sauna two items. The mountaineer takes his hiking boots and a thermos. The lawyer takes his suitcase and inside the suitcase there is a ball point pen. The basketball player takes a basketball and a basketball keychain.

    When the steam inside the sauna rises, the basketball player is dead. When police perform an autopsy, they find that he has a very large stab would on his chest. Who killed him and how?

    Close Strat. Maybe I hsould include this:

    When they check the suit case and the thermos, there is nothing inside them except for the pen inside the suitcase. Same for the basketball and hiking boots.

    ballpoint stab wound is not big enough. It was a very LARGE stab wound

    There were no potential stabbing weapons in the sauna

    Wait for people to verify your answer before posting a new one, i'm 90% sure that's wrong

    I'm pretty sure the answer is he's a midget who can't reach the 13th story button (in the version i heard he pressed 6 unless it was raining, which turned out to be because he has an umbrella those days to reach the button)


    Also, answer to riddle above is he's playing baseball xD

    ok, this is a very weird paragraph. I wanna see how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it.

    It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

    What is missing?

    A man wanted to enter an exclusive club, but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six" and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man though he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said, "ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in. What should have he said?

    Label them all Schroedinger's Cherries and or bananas

    But really, pick a fruit from C&B, if it's C then I label it C and if it's B I label it B
    Switch the other 2 labels around since they are labelled incorrectly

    An awesome beauty angled the wave;
    The deep-throated creature called to land,
    Laughed loud-lingering, struck terror
    Home to men. Her blades honed sharp,
    She was slow to battle but battle-grim,
    Savage wound-worker. The slaughterer
    Struck ship-walls, carried a curse.
    The cunning creature said of herself:
    "My mother, who comes from the kind of women
    Dearest and best, is my daughter grown
    Great and pregnant; so is it known to men
    On earth that she shall come and stand
    Gracefully on the ground in every land."

    lol even if it didn't, (5*.5)=2.5, the ladder was originally 3 meters above water so the whole thing would still be above

    dunno how anchors work, aren't they taught? so the boat couldn't go up?

  147. Wonder
    Date: Wed, Jun 23 2010 05:54:59

    No, the boat will still rise the anchor isnt the exact length of how tall the water is so it has slack to rise up with the tide, so i guess i was right
