Here's a little experiment:

If all Doos are Dees, and all Dees are Dings, but not all Dings are Doos, what does this also say about Dees?

All Dees are Doos.
Some Dees aren't Doos
All Dings are Dees
The Statement is a logical fallacy.
None of the Above. (Please state)

Explain your answer.

Using the same method of thought you used to derive the answer to the above, consider the following problem:

Sally met Tim at a family reunion. Sally and Tim are both related to Jim and Lucy, who are married. So isn't it inappropriate that Sally and Tim are checking each other out? :euas_thin

Explain your answer! :icon_mrgr

All Dees are Doos.

The Statement is a logical fallacy.
None of the Above. (Please state)

Explain your answer. I could use a Venn Diagram to illustrate this but:
All Doos are Dees, but that DOES NOT mean that all Dees are Doos.
Ditto for Dings not all being Dees. So there will be Dings that ARE NOT Dees and therefore some Dees that are not Doos and Dings that are not Doos.

With me so far?

So therefore:

All Dees are Doos. - False
Some Dees aren't Doos - True
All Dings are Dees - False
The Statement is a logical fallacy. - False
None of the Above. (Please state) - False

Because winning lotto numbers are generated by random number machines, not human beings.


Todd lives in Canada and works in the US. Yet, he can get to and from work in 15 minutes, while Jane who lives and works in the US, takes 2 hours to accomplish the same thing. How is this possible?

Todd is probably a US/Canada border control officer, and all he has to do is cross the bridge that seperates the two countries to get to work.


This is all I can think of off the top of my head for now.

Lottery has nothing to do with thought. It's about chance.


Why is it that even if you could move at the speed of sound, you still couldn't dodge bullets?
Bullets travel faster than sound?



How come airplanes don't flap their wings to fly?
They weren't designed to flap. They've got no wing muscles. They're too heavy. They're inanimate objects.


If everyone in a city of 3 million people owned a motor car, wouldn't everyone get to work on time if they all just drove to work?
Not if cities are designed as they currently are. There would be serious traffic problems with all those vehicles on the road.


How could you put an elephant into a refridgerator?
If it's a miniature elephant (figurine thingee) just put it in the fridge. If it's a real elephant, assemble the fridge around him. It would be a big fridge, and rather smelly.


If dogs have such a sharp sense of hearing and sight, how come so many of them get killed in the streets by motor cars?
Because they keep trying to bite the car tires while the cars are moving. It's the strangest thing ... :eusa_thin


How could I jump off a tall building, hit the ground and not be even remotely in danger, without using a parachute?
Be a character in a video game, comic, or other work of fiction.
Jump off a wall or other structure on a tall building, unto the ground a just a few feet or inches below (not the ground at the base of the building).
Enter the Matrix.


How can a person flap his hands and fly?
Do it while flying in an aeroplane.


Todd lives in Canada and works in the US. Yet, he can get to and from work in 15 minutes, while Jane who lives and works in the US, takes 2 hours to accomplish the same thing. How is this possible?
Work is close to the Canada-US border and Todd lives closer to the border than Jane.


A man leaves on a flight from Jamaica on Thursday. His destination is Australia, which is 24 hours ahead of Jamaica. Yet, he arrives in Austrailia on Wednesday. How is this possible?

If dogs have such a sharp sense of hearing and sight, how come so many of them get killed in the streets by motor cars?

Because their sense of sight and hearing is overidden by a psychological negative response to the cars wheels.




How could I jump off a tall building, hit the ground and not be even remotely in danger, without using a parachute?

If you have the agility and flexibility of a cat.

- Correct! :eusa_clap @ BCK & BM


Bullets travel faster than sound?
- Nope!


They weren't designed to flap. They've got no wing muscles. They're too heavy. They're inanimate objects.
- Nope, nope and nope! Space Shuttles are heavier than airplanes and they still don't flap their wings to fly! Think about this again!


Not if cities are designed as they currently are. There would be serious traffic problems with all those vehicles on the road.
- Not necessarily. Think about this more carefully.


If it's a miniature elephant (figurine thingee) just put it in the fridge. If it's a real elephant, assemble the fridge around him. It would be a big fridge, and rather smelly.
- I'm referring to a real elephant. Unchain your thought process and re-evaluate the question. Remember the title of the thread!


Because they keep trying to bite the car tires while the cars are moving. It's the strangest thing ...
- Most dogs that are killed are the ones just trying to cross the road. So again, nope! Re-evaluate the question.


Be a character in a video game, comic, or other work of fiction.
Jump off a wall or other structure on a tall building, unto the ground a just a few feet or inches below (not the ground at the base of the building).
Enter the Matrix.
- No fiction here. I can do it in real life. How?


Do it while flying in an aeroplane.
- EXCELLENT! :eusa_clap Now go back and re-evaluate the other questions in a similar fashion!


Work is close to the Canada-US border and Todd lives closer to the border than Jane.
- CORRECT! (You and BM got this right)


International Date line thingee.
- Nope! I can't tell you why this answer is incorrect, because that would give away the answer. Think about it carefully... :icon_mrgr

September 14, 2006, 04:23 PM
Because their sense of sight and hearing is overidden by a psychological negative response to the cars wheels.
- Nope! The answer is not a scientific one. None of these questions require scientific answers. It's simple logic - deceptively simple, that is.


If you have the agility and flexibility of a cat.
- I can do it without any kind of enhancement whatsoever. Think about the question again! It is so ridiculously simple, you'll laugh out loud if you could see the answer!

Yes, that is if everybody worked at a different place of employment.



How could you put an elephant into a refridgerator?
Cut it up into little pieces first.



If dogs have such a sharp sense of hearing and sight, how come so many of them get killed in the streets by motor cars?

1) How come airplanes don't flap their wings to fly? - They Have Engines to create the thrust need to fly.

2) A man leaves on a flight from Jamaica on Thursday. His destination is Australia, which is 24 hours ahead of Jamaica. Yet, he arrives in Austrailia on Wednesday. How is this possible? - This was a horse joke.. The name of the planes are Thursday and Wednesday.. ;) ;)


3) How could I jump off a tall building, hit the ground and not be even remotely in danger, without using a parachute? - He on the ground floor or the lobby, you never said from the top of the tall building.

4) If everyone in a city of 3 million people owned a motor car, wouldn't everyone get to work on time if they all just drove to work? - No, All depends where they work


5) How could you put an elephant into a refridgerator?- Haha.. You open it and put him in..


Actually, i got some of these and similar questions in a Leardership class some time ago.The guy started this way to show us how some times as leaders we make simple things complicated.. I hope i get the correct as i did them from memory.

U PROBABLY HEAR THE BULLET JUST ABOUT THE TIME IT HIT
- CORRECT! If the bullet is travelling at the speed of sound, and you can only move at the speed of sound, then by the time you hear the sound of the bullet, you've already been shot - because the bullet is travelling at the speed of sound! Great job NSN. :eusa_clap


They Have Engines to create the thrust need to fly.
- CORRECT! :eusa_clap Birds flap their wings to create thrust - that's what airplane engines do: create thrust.


Not everyone works at the same place...
- CORRECT! :eusa_clap The question never said that they're all going to the same place.


Haha.. You open it and put him in..
- CORRECT! :eusa_clap The question never asked how you would fit the elephant in the refridgerator. It asked how you would put the elephant in. See how our brains unnecessarily complicate the question? Well done Roda.


I'm not sure, but I think dogs can only see in black and white ....
- Nope! In actuality, the reason why dogs can see better than humans is because they only see in black and white. Depth perception is far better interpreted in black and white - that's why security cameras are also in black and white. So this couldn't be why dogs are so easily killed in the streets by cars. The answer is waay simpler.


He on the ground floor or the lobby, you never said from the top of the tall building.
- CORRECT! :eusa_clap 'Nuff said.


This was a horse joke.. The name of the planes are Thursday and Wednesday..
- Nope! Okay, I see this one is going to stump people for a long time. So let me rephrase the question, and restate the one that has yet to be cracked:

Australia is 24 hours ahead of Jamaica. Any flight to Australia from Jamaica will take 21 hours. Yet, when you arrive in Australia, you arrive on the same day you left Jamaica. How is this possible?


If dogs have such a sharp sense of hearing and sight, how come so many of them get killed in the streets by motor cars?


Remember, the answer is a deceptively simple one. Think outside the box to get it! Go!

Because the bullet wasnt fired from a gun, the bullet was simply thrown into the air.

Because the dog still wouldnt be talking Japanese.

- Dogs get killed on lonely quiet country roads too. Heck, mongoose and cats that try to cross the road get killed for the same reasnons dogs dog. All 3 creatures have super sensitive faculties. In none of their cases, was it a sensory overload. Try again. You are too close to not see this one.


[B][COLOR="Red"]1 - someone threw tha bullet to u ...
2 - cuz he wouldnt understand tha language...
3 - over tha phone...

- Yep, on all 4 counts. That's pretty impressive on a one shot Kirbs. So kudos to Kirbs and BM on the first one. I'm not surprised that Kirb is getting these on the first shot. Can you guys tell me why? It has a lot to do with age and experience. Think about it.


By travelling to Japan. Geez.
- That answer will work too. In fact, I forget to mention, that many of these teasers don't necessarily have ONE right answer. There could be several. It just depends on how creative a thinker you are. Good one Ramesh.


None. Because if he could chuck rocks it wouldnt bother with wood?
- The question never asked if he wanted to. ;) You're coming closer though. Try again. :icon_mrgr


A woodchuck chucking rocks would not chuck wood.

New teasers:

A woman is indoors when her house explodes. She wasn't wearing any protective clothing and she doesn't have super powers. So how come she survived without a scratch?


A team of police officers are watching a video feed of some people who've been taken hostage in some undisclosed location. One of the officers IDs the building based on some artifact they saw in the background of the video feed. Yet when they show up at the building within 2 minutes (and it is the right building), no one is there. How come?


Why would it be more backwards if we could teach animals to speak?


If Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday, and he was in the grave for 3 days, how does it make sense that he was risen on Sunday?


Sandy enjoys the New Year's celebration in New York, London and Sydney - each time as the clock strikes 12 midnight. She is actually physically there in the city square in each city as the clock strikes 12 at the turn of the new year. How exactly did she pull that off?

Remember you still have 3 outstanding teasers to figure out!

2. There is a time delay on video/audio feed over the radio and TV…so they feed they were seeing was actually slightly delayed. Hence the people gone.

3. - Still tihking on tihs one

4. Xeno, this is a BIG theology question. Simple answer! Jesus was resurrected ON the third day, not after 72 literal hours. – Yu might have to make that question into its own forum ;)

5. Sandy is a clock/brand of the clock.

2. There is a time delay on video/audio feed over the radio and TV…so they feed they were seeing was actually slightly delayed. Hence the people gone.
- Oooh so close! But the guys got to the house in just 2 minutes. There's no way the house could be empty in such a short space of time. Good try though. Try again! You're on the right track. :icon_mrgr


4. Xeno, this is a BIG theology question. Simple answer! Jesus was resurrected ON the third day, not after 72 literal hours. – Yu might have to make that question into its own forum ;)
- CORRECT! :eusa_clap More accurately, back in those days, the Jews don't measure 24-hour days as we do. Their days last 8 hours. Nicely done Roda.


5. Sandy is a clock/brand of the clock.
- Nope! Sorry... try again.


Now the jamaica / australia thing is a guess...and is just because of cricket...I memba west indies going to Australia and the left christmas eve, fly christmas day and arrive Melbourne Christmas day.
- You have ˝ of the answer to the first teaser that has yet to be cracked:

Australia is 24 hours ahead of Jamaica. Any flight to Australia from Jamaica will take 21 hours. Yet, when you arrive in Australia, you arrive on the same day you left Jamaica. How can this be accomplished?



Because she was in each city a different year, not within the same year.
- Nope. It's the same new year's day, and she relived the celebrations 3 times! If you can crack the current teaser, then you got the answer to the above one. How could Sandy have travelled "backwards" in time to be in each city for the same new years day? It has virtually nothing to do with the international date line - and absolutely NO time machines were involved!

Hint: Think "shortcuts"


Okay, here goes .....A wood chuck would chuck just as much wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood rocks
- CORRECT! :eusa_clap Just because he can chuck rocks doesn't mean that he can chuck more wood. It just means that his teeth are stronger. Good one BM.


hmmm... I think because they can speak already - each animal has their own distinctive way of communicating to animals of thier kind
- You have ˝ of the correct answer. But what's the clincher? We know that animals can communicate with each other already (that's part of the reason why). But why exactly would it be ridiculous to teach them to speak like humans? You're soo close. Stay on this current thought track and you might get it!


Different time zones .... sandy went to England, then Sydney and then to New York via aeroplane/Concord
- OOOH SOOO CLOSE!!! You have ˝ of the correct answer! I won't tell you which part is correct. But you're on the right track.

Remember, no one has clinched this one yet:

Ok,, ma sister help mi pon this..

Australia/Jamaica : The time zones are basically 5 hours. .apart...so depending were yu go east or west. you lose or gain hours, If pass over the international date line..from where your you would have lost or gained 24 hours. So you might skip day. So asutrailia is kind east..(so she say) so by time yu reach there you would pass the IDL and lose a day cuz yu would have crossed over midinght (???) so losing the day..while is friday in Jamaica. is still thurssday in Australia. .. Mi think a something liek dat she say... :confused:

2) New York , England, Sydney

NY is like 7 hours ahed of England - Concord can reach from NY in 3 hours
Midnight England is still Midday Sydney and becuse of the above wha mi sister say :confused: Yu will still arrive in syden the same day yu were in england. enough time to catch New's Years eve.

Okay great, cuz I didn't want to give away the answer. :icon_mrgr Foxy Kay had the right idea. You presented how it could be done. Now I want you guys to assemble those clues to give me the correct answer. ;)


the dog was confused because he was trying to figure out wher the car was heading
- ½ Correct! And why exactly would the dog be confused about where the car was heading? You are only missing one tiny bit of info. Look back at my reference to the airplanes and you crossing the runway; it's VERY obvious what I'm getting at here.

Airplane is to human as dog is to car... :eusa_thin Human would be killed running across a runway for the same reason that dog would be killed.

If you were running out into the road, and a monster truck was speeding towards you while you were already in the middle of the road, why would it not matter how supersensitive you were to the sound or sight of the truck? Why would you be crushed to a bloody pulp anyway? Clues:

He couldn't react in time (why?)
He was confused about the approaching vehicle (why?)
Both 'why's are the same. Both 'why's = the answer.

Xeno.. Back to the australia thing... Based on what u say.. If jamaica is 24 hours away from aus.based on time zones, they are the same place. Or at worst case cus yu west going east yu losing time by time u pass the IDL yu begin to regain the time cus u coming west ..and if the ja is 21 hours away form aus the they are basically one time zone apart even though u go around the earth half way.

Is it because the dog would not be fast enough to dodge two way traffic.
- THAT'S IT!!! It's THAT SIMPLE!!! :eusa_clap THANK YOU BM. The Dog is too small to physically run out of the way in time. It's just that simple. Similarly, a human being would be crushed by a monster truck or an airplane approaching him on a proportionately sized road, because we are physically incapable of getting out of the way fast enough. An ant would get crushed by a crawling baby for the same reason. It doesn't matter how hypersensitive the dog's ears are, it won't make him fast enough to elude a speeding car. ;)

Well done BM. It's amazing how a simple thing can elude us eh? :icon_mrgr

Again, how is Sandy travelling back in time to experience New Year's Day three times for the same year?

Bahama Mama
September 15, 2006, 05:58 PM
Sandy enjoys the New Year's celebration in New York, London and Sydney - each time as the clock strikes 12 midnight. She is actually physically there in the city square in each city as the clock strikes 12 at the turn of the new year. How exactly did she pull that off?


Sandy's first New Years stop would have had to have been in Sydney, which is the the first major world city to experience the New Year. Shortly after midnite, Sandy hopped on a direct flight headed to London. The catch is the plane travels East of the International Date Line, which automatically divides two calender days, and would automatically throw her back one calender day on the 31st of December instead of the 2nd of January. By travelling east of the IDL to London and then to New York (direct flights), she is actually gaining an approximate calender day (19 hours). So she is still able to experience all three celebrations within an approximate 24 hour period. It just depends in which direction she travels on the globe relative to the International Date Line.

:icon_arro Foxy Kay, Kirby

First of all, the Wednesday bit was a typo. I had corrected it in the second posting of the question.

Secondly, Australia time is ahead of Jamaica time - 15 hours to be precise. If it is Thursday 4 pm in Jamaica, then it is already Friday in Australia - 7 am to be precise. Thursday would already be done in Australia at 4 pm Jamaica time. If it were 4 am in Jamaica, it would still be Thursday in Australia, just in the evening - 7 pm to be precise. So check this out:

If you travel East to Australia (i.e. over the Atlantic Ocean), you are travelling in the same direction that the earth is spinning. Thus, you will loose an entire day in flight, because it lasts 21 hours. That means that by the time you land in Australia, it will effectively be 2 days ahead of Jamaica because you lost 21 hours in flight, and Australia is still 15 hours ahead of Jamaica. So Arrival time in Australia:

= Rotational difference + Flight Hours + Departure Time in Jamaica
= (Flight hours - Time difference) + Flight Hours + Departure time in Jamaica
= (21 - 15) + 21 + 7 am Jamaica time (on Thursday).
= 6 + 21 + 7
= 34 hours effective travel time
= 1 day and 10 hours
= Friday at 5 pm, Australia time. :icon_eek:

If however, you travel West to Australia (i.e. through the United States, over the Pacific ocean, then on to Sydney), you are not travelling in the same direction that the earth is spinning. Thus, what is actually happening is that you are effectively travelling back in time - thus gaining hours instead of losing them. When you arrive in Sydney, it will still be Thursday, because the 21 hours you spent in flight is cancelled out by travelling backwards on the clock (i.e. east) to Australia. So Arrival time in Australia:

= Rotational difference + Departure Time in Jamaica
= (Flight hours - Time difference) + Departure time in Jamaica
= (21 - 15) + 7 am Jamaica time (on Thursday).
= 6 + 7
= 13 hours effective travel time
= Thursday at 8 pm, Australia time. (Remember, we left Jamaica 7 am on Thursday!)

You follow? Notice that we don't add the 21 hour flight time in this case, because we're not travelling in the same direction that the earth turns. Strictly speaking, the calculations would be a lot more complex. I just simplified them so everyone would follow.

This is also why Sandy could see the New Year's Celebration 3 times for the same year! She was in Australia first. When the clock struck 12 midnight, it was 2006 in Australia, but it was still 2005 in London and New York. Assuming that she hops a plane immediately after the clock strikes 12 midnight in Australia, she will fly for 7 hours to London where it is still 5 pm. When it strikes 12 midnight in London, she can still hop a 6 hour flight to New York, and get there by 8pm to prepare for New Year's celebration all over again!

See? 3 times! :icon_mrgr

When you travel in the same direction that the earth spins, you loose time - even though the plane flies faster than the Earth turns. If you travel in the opposite direction that the earth spins, you gain time on the clock, since you are travelling to a location that has not yet experienced the time that the country you are leaving already has.

Fun Fact: Many flights to far eastern countries that cross the International Date Line going east (i.e. over the Atlantic) are instead flown West from Jamaica (i.e. via the US, then over the Pacific), so that passengers don't loose a whole day on the flight. Thus the flight takes them over the Pacific Ocean instead of over the Atlantic ocean, so most times you arrive on the same day that you left. ;)


I hope that makes it clearer. Don't you feel your brains becoming bigger? :icon_mrgr

There is a fully grown pear in a Wine bottle. How did the pear get inside the bottle through such a narrow neck?


As her friends are playing in the swimming pool, a little girl shows off that she can walk on water. How'd she do it?


A boy swears he's a stud with girls. He shows off on his friends that he can get the telephone numbers of every girl in his class, without being rejected even once before school is out for the day. Sure enough, at the end of the day, he produces the phone numbers. How'd you figure he pulled that one off? I mean, nobody's that good with girls right?


A guy riding a bicycle beats another guy driving a turbo-charged, Nitrous Oxide equipped 1995 Skyliner in a race fair and square. Exactly how much horse power would that bicycle need to be packing in order to pull that off?


So this guy is telling this other guy how a lizard ate his dog. Why isn't the other guy raising an eyebrow?


During the accident Jane lost over 8 quarts of blood all at once. Why is she still alive and kicking?

the cars brand is New
- The question already stated that.


Horse power has to nothing to do with any thing torque wins the race
- This is an interesting process of thought you have here. Truly, if the race were around a circular car park, like those in Japan, the only way the car driver could beat the bicycle rider is to drift around the corners. Technically the bicycle rider would beat the car driver each time, even if he could drift well, because drifting greatly slows the speed of the car through friction and the bicycle would experience no excess friction at all. Great going Master E. So even though this is not the answer we're looking for, your answer is so creative I'm gonna give it to you anyway. :eusa_clap

Can you tell me how else the bicycle rider beat the guy in the car in a race?


no not really, I thaught about that but I was lazy to type it
- The answer I was looking for with the Australia question: The Man travelled east from Jamaica.

The answer to the question about Sandy experiencing New Years day 3 times was: First she was in Australia, then she flew to London, then to New York.

No lengthy explanation was necessary. I just did that to make it abundantly clear how it works, because it seems like folks were getting confused (my bad).

Ok, Ramesh got 8/10. The only ones he missed were:

No. 3 - Wine Bottles aren't assembled. They're made from molds. ;) Try again.

No. 6 - Chess is not a type of race. Try again. :D

So those two are still outstanding. Any takers?
