I have nothing better to do, so here are some questions for you lazy braindead sods.
I'll give you the answers when I feel like it.
Don't cheat...because I am spying on you.

Q1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

Q2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

Q3. A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no type of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

Q4. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

Q5. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?

Q6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

Q7. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious 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!

Q8. You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Q9. If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Q10. (in your head!) Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

Q11. Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

I have nothing better to do, so here are some questions for you lazy braindead sods.
I'll give you the answers when I feel like it.
Don't cheat...because I am spying on you.

Ok.


Q1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

The room full of lions. I don't know any mammal that can live for 3 years without eating.

Q2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

They're at a pond. She shoots him with a water gun, then she holds him under a water fall, then she hangs him over the rock ledge off which people dive from. I know this probably isn't the "real" answer, but it works, so booyah.

Q3. A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no type of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

He stood on the first floor of a building with an aquarium on the second floor located above him. It also works with him in a hotel that has a second floor pool.

Q4. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

Hmm... I'll have to think about this one.

Q5. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?

Charcoal. Doh.

Q6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Q7. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious 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!

It lacks proper grammar, for one.

Q8. You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?Obviously, you're the second person now.
Q9. If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Not in the race, because if you're the last person then the person you would overtake couldn't be last.

Q10. (in your head!) Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

4100.

Q11. Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Who's father? Doh. Mary.

[Pinkslit]

I'll give mcsmc 7 correct, so far, with 2 more possibles, depending how I feel. Well done.

Nik got only one wrong.

[Pinkslit]

Here are the answers. Thanks to those who played. :yociexp77:

A1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.

A2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.

A3. The kid filled a glass of water and held it over his head for 10 minutes.

A4. Colour and Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the ice in the barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which jug.

A5. The answer is Charcoal. In Homer Simpson's words: hmmmm... Barbecue.

A6. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

A7. The letter "e", which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph

A8. If you answer that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

A9. If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!

A10. Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!

A11. Nunu? NO! Of course not. The fifth daughter is Mary. Read the question again.

I feel targeted.:khi2d:

[Polar Bear]

I call bullshit on number 2.

Technically what she held under water and hung up was a picture of her husband. Not her husband himself. You distinctly said she holds 'him' underwater..and then hangs 'him'. The object of questions like these are to be clever and tricky. There's nothing clever about that question. You simply lied about the facts to throw people off. Hell, I could make up a question like that right here on the spot, if I could bend the facts like that.

The rest were neat, though. I only got three without looking at other people's answers.

Correspondence into any questions or answers will not be entered into by Judge Pink.
Case dismissed.

[Josie]

A9. If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!

Like others have said, you can overtake the LAST person by lapping them. They are still in last place, you're just in super first.

[Pinkslit]

That is why I gave Bunnee a correct answer for that question.
No further information will be given to non players.
Bye.

[mcsmc]

Ahh wow, I didn't even realize that that paragraph is missing the most commonly used letter. However, it's missing more than just one letter, so I'm going to stick with improper grammar being what stuck out to me.

And I feel utterly stupid for not thinking of freezing the water (I'd already thought about food coloring, but knew it would mix when two liquids were introduced to each other).

So, because I was reading and keeping up with the thread, however not posting my thoughts (which were already posted by other members), I'm not allowed to post?

Uh, okay. :khi2d:


edit: Perhaps this thread should be in the Green Zone then?

No, I rarely start threads in the Green Zone.
You ARE allowed to post here and express your thoughts...I was just informing you and others that any information regarding the acceptance or refusal of answers will not be entertained unless you were a participant.

:khi7h::khi7h::khi7h::khi7h:

[InterStella]

Dammit to fucking hell. I missed all the fun - again.

[mcsmc]

Sorry, but the photography question doesn't count as a photography question, since it was obviously referring to doing things TO a person, not with a picture of them. So I can be correct on that one, thanks.
