[Cocoa]

12012.......................

[Bahama Mama]

12,000, 1200, 12......... :eusa_eh:

[ramesh]

13,212 ?

[Arch_Angel]

Either ramesh or Bahama Mama are right.

[shakeri]

:icon_mrgr :icon_mrgr :eusa_wall 12,1212?

[Arch_Angel]

:icon_mrgr :icon_mrgr :eusa_wall 12,1212?
That wouldn't would be 12 thousand shakeri, that's 121,000 (One Hundred and Twenty One Thousand). hehe Your comma is in the wrong place. :)

[Drew]

ramesh's answer is correct. bahama mama's own is correct if its a trick question.

[Chicokid]

13,212 ?

Ramesh, you won the millon dollar question, only thing is I don't got that amount to reward you :eusa_wall

Easy trick, you simply add the numbers 12 thousand, 12 hundred and 12

[Chicokid]

Next one:

Peter and John are having a conversation. John is bragging about his son to Peter. John says: "Two days ago, my son was 9 yrs and next yr, he'll be 12"

How is this possible :p

[Gwadinka]

I don't know how to explain it but I'm sure it is about bissextile years. Am I right?

[virus_ncu]

his son is a time traveler?

[ramesh]

His son is a very short hobbit or dwarf? 12" tall is quite short for a person.

[longlove]

maybe both the fether and the son got the age mixed up!!!!

[Chicokid]

None of these answers are correct :eusa_snoo

[virus_ncu]

i know now. the father can not count nor can he recite the month of the year. he is basically a dumb @ss. ??

[Bahama Mama]

Is it that John was referring to another son of his, ie. Two days ago my son turned 9, and next year he (another son), will be twelve?

[Chicokid]

i know now. the father can not count nor can he recite the month of the year. he is basically a dumb @ss. ??

The father ain't dumb, just tricky :D

Is it that John was referring to another son of his, ie. Two days ago my son turned 9, and next year he (another son), will be twelve?

It's the same son, Bahama Lady ;)

[Bahama Mama]

Does it have anything to do with a leap year. Was the son born in a leap year?

[virus_ncu]

hah ahahaha i got it. finally this one make sense. here goes:
lets say today is 2005 new years day. 2 days ago would be december 30. the son was born on december 31. therefore on dec 30 he was 9, on the 31 he will be 10. this year dec 31 2005 he will be 11 next year 2006 he will be 12.
haha

[Dejavoux]

hah ahahaha i got it. finally this one make sense. here goes:
lets say today is 2005 new years day. 2 days ago would be december 30. the son was born on december 31. therefore on dec 30 he was 9, on the 31 he will be 10. this year dec 31 2005 he will be 11 next year 2006 he will be 12.

[Drew]

thats a good answer virus. is he correct???

[virus_ncu]

i wonder what else could be the answer?

[Arch_Angel]

i wonder what else could be the answer?
His son is really an alien and he doesn't know it. Because his wife is an alien but she hasn't told him yet. She is waiting for the time right time. His son grows at an increasing rate thinking his son is special. So he brags about it to his friends. His son was really born 11 days ago and increases in age each day.

[Cocoa]

i wonder what else could be the answer?
He is a "jacket"and the dad don't really know his age. :eusa_thin :icon_lol:

[Chicokid]

Virus, you are so correct :) Glad to see the brain is functioning strong ;)

[Chicokid]

He is a "jacket"and the dad don't really know his age. :eusa_thin :icon_lol:

How can you call the man's son "A JACKET" :icon_eek:

[virus_ncu]

Alien? lol how come he never brag in his phrase that his son is an alien.

[Arch_Angel]

LOL
Alien? lol how come he never brag in his phrase that his son is an alien.
Because he doesn't know his son is an alien. He doesn't know his wife is an alien too. :D

[Ricky]

If nine thousand, nine hundred and nine is written as 9909, what is twelve thousand, twelve hundred and twelve written as??

Post your answers right here.

That's easy: 12000+
1200+
12=
13212
:icon_lol:

[Ricky]

Next one:

Peter and John are having a conversation. John is bragging about his son to Peter. John says: "Two days ago, my son was 9 yrs and next yr, he'll be 12"

How is this possible :p

John's son birthday must be on December 31th, so he would be talking on January 1st. So his sons birthday would be on December 31st (one day ago to make him 10) then he would have his birthday in the current year making him 11, the next year would make him 12.

I'm that good :icon_redf

[Chicokid]

Ok here's one, two mothers two daughters went to fish and they got three fishes. How can each receive one fish WITHOUT CUTTING ANY FISH.

That's easy! There is the grandmother, the mother and the daughter, so that makes two mothers and two daughters. Ther's no need to cut a fish!

[ramesh]

Ok, everyone start singing, "I'm my own Grampa".


Many, many years ago when I was 23
I was married to a Wider who was purty as can be
This Wider had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

I'm my own grampa,
I'm my own grampa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grampa

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother
Of the Wider's grown up daughter who of course was my step-mother

My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my granchild for he was my daughters son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother too

I'm my own grampa,
I'm my own grampa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grampa

Oh if my wife is my grandmother then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my own grandmother I'm my own grampa

I'm my own grampa,
I'm my own grampa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grampa

:rofl: :rotflm:

[Ricky]

Yeah everyone except Manu is correct!o.k someone with something more difficult.

[icuucme]

Yeah everyone except Manu is correct!o.k someone with something more difficult.Shame manu...mrrrr...lol <idle>

At the recent BrainBashers downhill mountain bike race, four entrants entered the challenging slalom event. Alan came first. The entrant wearing number 2 wore red, whereas John didn't wear yellow. The loser wore blue and Steve wore number 1. Kev beat Steve and the person who came second wore number 3. The entrant in yellow beat the entrant in green. Only one of the entrants wore the same number as their final position. Can you determine who finished where, the number and colour they wore?

[nuhsenutten]

Alan won the race ....he is contestant #2 his color is red
Kev placed second.....he is contestant #3 his color is green
Steve is third............he is contestant #1 his color is yellow
Jhon is last...............he is contestant #4 his color is blue

OK people try this one out.....

Albert is a keen dog admirer and over the years has had a number of dogs. He has had an Alsatian, a Dalmatian, a Poodle and a Great Dane, but not necessarily in that order. Albert had Jamie first. The Dalmatian was an adored pet before the Great Dane. Sammy, the Alsatian, was the second dog Albert loved. Whitney was housed before the Poodle and Jimmy was not a Great Dane. Can you tell each of the dogs' name and the order in which Albert had them?

[acidblade]

there're actually logical??????? Not trick questions? Or did I miss something????

They aren't intended to be trick questions. Just something to workout and keep the brain active. Maybe I should put it in the 'Figure ths out' thread.

[Xenocrates]

Ok here's one:

One cool afternoon, The Mad Hatter, The March Hare and the Dodo sat at a table sipping tea. In one of their queerest discussions, a vicious argument developed and they each started accusing each other of wrongdoing. According to each party member:

The Mad Hatter says that the March Hare is lying.
The March Hare says that the Dodo is lying.
The Dodo says that both the Mad Hatter and the March Hare are lying.

Who's telling the truth? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/xenocrates/Smilies/evilgrin.gif

[ramesh]

The March Hare. The Mad Hatter is lying and the Dodo is also lying.

[Xenocrates]

Excellent Ramesh. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/xenocrates/Smilies/2thumbs.gif

Edit:

Ok an old Classic:

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1?

[Drew]

i've seen this already, just can't remember the answer. or was there an answer.

[nuhsenutten]

i think there was....gotta check

[LadyMC]

Hey Xeno I think they did this one already in the "Figure this out" thread

[virus_ncu]

there is no answer for that question. In fact they did not pay $9 each. it was $9.3333333333333333333333333333333

[jerry]

yea its in the "Figure this out" thread

[Manu]

The room was not $27, it was 25.....so the $2 that the bellboy kept makes it $27 and the $3 divided gives you $30 so no missing dollar.....

That sound kinda right...............:eusa_wall

[LadyMC]

there is no answer for that question. In fact they did not pay $9 each. it was $9.3333333333333333333333333333333
What the hell???? :eusa_eh:

[smiles]

A census-taker goes to a house. He asks the owner how many children there are. He answers: 3. He asks the owner their ages. He answers - I won't tell you, but their ages add to the house number; and if you multiply their ages it equals my age. The census-taker does some work and says it is not enough information to know their ages. The owner answers: The oldest one is 3 inches taller than the girl next door. The census-taker says: Thanks, I have enough to know their ages, and leaves.
What are the ages of the children?

:eusa_thin

[ramesh]

You've missed out the man's age which in both versions of the puzzle is either 36 or 72. :)

[smiles]

Is not me.. i found it on a site and been struggling to figure it out..

no wonder.. there was info missing... i was begin to doubt my intelligence:rolleyes:
