Finding Adam

[Groggy]

After dying, you get 'upstairs' and find that no-one can talk or ask questions. They just float around in seeming bliss. Since you've always wanted to meet Adam, how would you identify him?

[chrisp]

By the lack of a belly button? :)

[Groggy]

:clap:

Now, it's your turn.

:2tsup:

[Barry Hicks]

Very subtle!

[chrisp]

Ah, hmm, it is harder to ask jokes than to answer them.... Let me think ..:?, ah, try this oldie...

How do you get out of a room that has no doors or windows (yep, there is a ceiling and a floor, but no opening on either). The only other object in the room, other than yourself, is a table?

[Groggy]

Thinks :think:. Nup, maybe I need a mirror?

[funkychicken]

Smash the table in half, then put it back together to make a whole. Climb under the wall through said hole and you're free.

[Groggy]

FC's turn....

[funkychicken]

Hrmm...

What has eyes but no ears, Skin but no hair and is brown outside and white inside

[chrisp]

Smash the table in half, then put it back together to make a whole. Climb under the wall through said hole and you're free.

I'll pay that, but the answer I was thinking of is..

Rub your eyes until they're sore, take the saw and cut the table in half, ... (the rest you got :) ).

Then, when you get outside, you shout and shout until you are hoarse, jump oon the horse, ride away and are never seen again- we hope...

locked into the Ubeaut Woodworking Forum site.:D

Here's another oldie then

An alien ship lands on earth and takes control of the place.

An alien walks out of the ship and places two spheres on the ground, one has a hollow and one has a red circle painted on it.

He approaches the group watching him and points to a man in the crowd - "come forward" he says. The man separates from the group and nervously approached the alien.

The alien then puts the spheres down in front of the man, turns to the crowd and says:

"There are two spheres in front of this being, he must choose one. Not choosing will result in destruction of the planet. Choosing the wrong sphere will result in the destruction of the planet. Choosing the right sphere will result in the salvation of you all.

"We seeded life on this planet many years ago. If the experiment has succeeded, and a certain basic level of intelligence has been achieved, you will survive, if not, this planet will be destroyed immediately."

The man looked at the two spheres in front of him. The one with the hollow, on his left, seemed to be throbbing and pulsating. The other, with the red circle painted on the top, seemed to be giving off heat.

To save the earth, which sphere does he choose, and why.

[weisyboy]

the one with the line on it.

the other is not a sphere.

[echnidna]

:2tsup:

I said "one has a hollow" - I did not say it was hollow.

I will not say which is correct, until the correct reason is given.

[underfoot]

he turns to the alien and says'
" I choose the sphere that will result in our salvation" :?

[Groggy]

he turns to the alien and says'
" I choose the sphere that will result in our salvation" :?To which the alien replies "Which one would that be? Left or right are your only choices."

[Groggy]

If you'd like the answer I'll post it during the week.

[funkychicken]

The one on the left, cause spheres don't have tops:roll:

Or the one on the right because Mr Alien says "Choosing the right sphere will result in the salvation of you all."

[funkychicken]

Has no one got it yet?

Well I guess it's a bit of a trick answer...:doh:

[weisyboy]

so what is it?

[funkychicken]

Well the answer was supposed to be "Carl would duck so as not to walk into the bar" but then you went and proved me wrong:roll:

[weisyboy]

thats a dumb question.

a blonf is found locked in her room dead. :o
all that is in the room with the girl is, a bed, bedside lamp and scisors.:~
to make tis ebven more puzzeling there is not a mark on the girl.:?

how did shee die?

[funkychicken]

From bad spelling:p

She cut the lamps power cord with the scissors

[weisyboy]

nop.

[corbs]

If you didn't keep saying girl, I would have said of old age

[Allan at Wallan]

a) She was not necessarily in the bed.
b) The bedside light was not on.
c) The scissors had no bearing on her death.

She froze to death on the floor because without the
light on she could not find the bed. After all, she was
a blonde.

Okay, what's the answer:?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

(PSSST!! FC!! R & J are of the piscine persuasion. :wink:)

Skew got it... sorry for the delay in answer have been on course down in Melbourne for the last month without regular net.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Polly Perkins was after a talking parrot, so she went to the local pet shop in the hope of securing such a find.

She was in luck, the shop assistant assured her that the parrot would learn and repeat any word or phrase it heard.

Polly was delighted.

However, a week later, the parrot still hadn't spoken a word, so she returned to the shop to complain. Sadly, it appeared that the assistant was accurate in what he had said and refused a refund.

Why didn't the parrot talk?

[DavidG]

Deaf parrot

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Shoulda kept my mouth shut. :rolleyes: Your turn... :p

Using Australian coins how would you give 55 cents change (in two coins) if one of the coins is not a 5 cent piece?

[funkychicken]

50 cent piece and a sixpence coin?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

The coin's that not 5c is a 50c piece. The other coin is a 5c piece?

[funkychicken]

The coin's that not 5c is a 50c piece. The other coin is a 5c piece?

That's probly it

[funkychicken]

Well?

[corbs]

Thought I had answered... Skew is correct:2tsup:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Erk! OK, lessee... hmmm... :think:


A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence.

The engineer built his fence in a circle and said it was the most efficient.

The physicist made a long line then said that the length was infinite. He also said that fencing half of the Earth was the best.

The mathematician laughed at them and beat the others with his design.

What did he do?

[funkychicken]

He put one post in or a small section and had therefore fenced off the rest of the world?

[Groggy]

He made a very small circle, and said he had fenced things OUT, rather than in. Therefore fencing off the entire world with a tiny fence.

[funkychicken]

He made a very small circle, and said he had fenced things OUT, rather than in. Therefore fencing off the entire world with a tiny fence.

That's what I said I did

[corbs]

I think FC & Groggy have given the same answer... I like their answer:2tsup:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Yup. Geeze, it didn't even last a night... must be the way I tell 'em. :rolleyes:

[Groggy]

That's what I said I did
Yes, we posted at the same time. You're next then.

[funkychicken]

Hey I was right!:cool:

Hmm.. A riddle...

If you add 1 to 1 and get 1 what conclusion can you come to?

[ss_11000]

If you add 1 to 1 and get 1 what conclusion can you come to?
conclusion ...you suck at maths:rolleyes:

if you add 1 and 1 you get 1 pair :?

[funkychicken]

Know one got it eh

Ok the answer was "You could come to the conclusion that you cannot count past one:doh:"

Yeah I know, I suck at riddling.

Try this one: What 5 letter word could you remove all but one letter from and still have the same word?

[Ozkaban]

queue?

[funkychicken]

Yessum, Your turn

[Ozkaban]

OK, here we go.

There's a train tunnel. It's fairly long and only one train track runs through it for it's entire length. The tunnel is also only wide enough for one train.

One day at exactly 8 o'clock two trains enter the tunnel from opposite ends. Exactly three minutes later the trains emerge from opposite ends of the tunnel without a scratch. How?

[Groggy]

The trains run on monorail?

[Groggy]

The other answer might be the tunnel joins two states or countries (England/France type thing maybe) which have different time zones, therefor 1/2 hour or an hour separates them.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

They each travel into the tunnel for 90 seconds... stop... reverse directions.

They may not come out in the opposite entries to which they started but they'll still emerge in opposite entries to each other.

:innocent:

[corbs]

8 am (0800) or 8 pm (2000), or is that the answer:?

[Ozkaban]

8 am (0800) or 8 pm (2000), or is that the answer:?


:clap:Well done.

Your turn...

Cheers,

Important note: although the picture below shows them facing us, they are infact facing the wall.

The story:
Four prisoners are buried up to their necks in the ground facing a wall as shown below
They can only see what is infront of them and cannot move in any direction (heads or bodies)
They know there are two white hats and two black hats, they cannot see the colour of their hat
They cannot see through, around, under or over the wall
They cannot communicate with each other in any form
One person must correctly identify the colour of the hat they are wearing
If that person is correct then all four will be released
If that person is incorrect all four will be shot
In 20 minutes, all four will be shot

Numbering from left to right, who can identify what colour hat they have on and why:?

[Groggy]

Which line is the wall? The one separating #1 from #2,3 & 4?

[Groggy]

Assuming it is as I said, and the wall is separating #1 and #2.


#3 can see #2 and tells him he is wearing a white hat. #2 then says "I am wearing a white hat" and all 4 are released.

[Groggy]

You said they can't look around or over the wall so how can #3 see #4 if he is facing the wall?

EDIT: huh? you pulled your post, stop pulling your post Skew! :roll:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

You said they can't look around or over the wall so how can #3 see #4 if he is facing the wall?

EDIT: huh? you pulled your post, stop pulling your post Skew! :roll:

:p What you been eating?

Nah, I realised I'd misinterpreted what he meant was the wall. :shrug:

[corbs]

The wall is between 1 & 2, they cannot communicate. Only one person can make a statement as to the colour of their hat...

If they are wrong...

Bang!

In 20 minutes...

Bang!

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Hmmm... well...

#3 can see that #2 has a white hat. He'd know that #4, the bloke behind him, can see both him (#3) and #2. So, if he (#3) had a white hat then #4 would see two white hats and know that he (#4) had a black hat.

However, #4 doesn't call out so #3 knows that he (#3) and #2 have different coloured hats and, knowing that #2 has a white hat calls out "I have a black hat."

Simple, really. :rolleyes::p

Now my brain hurts. :C

[corbs]

Go Skew:2tsup: (thought that one might have taken a bit longer)

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Got sent this one in an e-mail...

Fiji (in Melanesia) and Samoa (in Polynesia) are two islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Fiji is about 970 kilometers (600 miles) west of Samoa. A small airplane can fly this distance in two hours.

When will you arrive in Fiji if you leave Samoa on a small airplane on Tuesday night at 11:30 PM?

[corbs]

I know... will give others a chance to get it though:;

[funkychicken]

11:30pm on tuesday?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Hehe. No. :)

[funkychicken]

10:30pm Wednesday?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

:no:

[funkychicken]

12:30am on Thursday!

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Well, ya got there in the end... :yes: Hehehe.

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor
of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window
open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building
to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt.
Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent,
how could he have survived the fall?

[funkychicken]

He's a window washer, he was outside the building
