Winner again!! I thought that might keep you guys busy for at least five minutes!! Sam and a few of the boys were playing cards when Sam posed a question. "In an ordinary deck of playing cards, two of the Jacks have two eyes and two of the Jacks have one eye. How many eyes are on the four Jack cards?"

WINNER! This could be controversial... Two cars made their way along the winding country road and came to an abrupt stop at the park's gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and proceeded along a footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster to get out of the rain but the seventh man couldn't be bothered. Ironically it was the seventh man who remained dry and the other six got soaked. Since all seven men arrived at their destination together, how was this possible?

Ach, so fast!! WINNER! What is the value of one-half of two-thirds of three-quarters of four-fifths of five-sixths of six-sevenths of seven-eighths of eight-ninths of nine-tenths of one thousand?

Extra points for working it out! TWO WINNERS!! In the 'Strange' family, each daughter has the same number of brothers as she has sisters. Each son has twice as many sisters as he has brothers. How many sons and daughters are in the family?

How many three cent stamps are in a dozen?

Excellent! What, no periscope?

Correct! WINNER! For the rest of the day, in honour you will now have the skills of an international Scotland player. This may require you tying your boot laces together! Okay this is a bit easy, but hey... Two mothers and two daughters were fishing. They managed to catch one big fish, one small fish, and one fat fish. Since only three fish were caught, how was it possible that they each took home a fish?

Goal Melvin!! That's exactly right. And now time for.... SCOTTISH QUESTION OF THE DAY Assuming that you are paying, is it cheaper to take one friend to the movies twice, or two friends to the movies at the same time? (It doesn't depend on how much popcorn they eat!)

Aye, it was four metres. Just a quick dash in with a new question!! There are two ships of equal size and equal strength. One is made of wood and the other of steel. Can you explain which is heavier?

Yeah, you're right....but I'm stone cold sober. WINNER! Remember, this question is still 'live', as is the blood one for those that haven't surrendered on it: In the course of constructing a pyramid, a large stone cube was being transported across the desert on logs. All of the logs were two metres in circumference. How far did the stone cube move in relation to the ground, with each complete revolution of the logs? Enjoy!

I'll second that and add the ladies Franck Muller Conquistador - check out the sub-forum I think there's a nice Ladies Omega rep out there somewhere too. Oh, and welcome

Okay, that sent everyone running! Here's a non-maths one for those that aren't into that sort of thing... If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork into the neck, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle? (I call this game 'spot the wino'! )

Ooh yeah! WINNER! In the course of constructing a pyramid, a large stone cube was being transported across the desert on logs. All of the logs were two metres in circumference. How far did the stone cube move in relation to the ground, with each complete revolution of the logs?

Yes! N for November! WINNER! What common English word starts and ends with 'UND'?

Oh, come on - look at the quality of workmanship here: The way 'Go Team' almost seems to have been cut out with, well, scissors. And made with paper - possibly even coloured in. Too bad it's only a quartz. And the girl is a honey. Okay, a new question: What is the next letter in the following sequence? M A M J J A S O

No, you win something better than cheerleaders and watches.... You win....cheerleader watches! "Go Team!" Oh, yeah - Pugwash was right. It's 12.34 on 5/6/78

Something extraordinarily unusual happened on the 5th of June, 1978 at 12.34 pm. What was it?

POWERMAX!! :punk: :punk: :punk: :punk:

Yes you are both right, and Pugwash got there first! WINNER! While I'm looking for some new questions, this one is still unsolved.... John dropped in to visit his friend Frank, and found him snoozing on the couch. There was fresh blood on the ceiling above his head, but nowhere else in the room. John anxiously woke him to check his condition only to find that everything was fine. How could Frank's blood be on the ceiling but nowhere else?

Pete decided to get into the used boat sales business. After buying two boats, he realised he'd spent all his money and had no cash flow. Pete opted for a couple of quick sales. By the end of the day he had sold both boats for $6000 each. On one boat he realized a profit of 20% and on the other boat he lost 20%. Did Pete make money, lose money or break even?

Nice! 2 is the right answer, but I am quite taken with the ingenuity of 1! WINNER! How we all doing with the blood one?

Fair enough - we'll keep that one live then, and add another... A horse is tied to a five metre rope in front of an old saloon. Six metres behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking the rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses. How is this possible?

The question says it was on the ceiling above his head, so I guess the bit of ceiling is still up there. John dropped in to visit his friend Frank, and found him snoozing on the couch. There was fresh blood on the ceiling above his head, but nowhere else in the room. John anxiously woke him to check his condition only to find that everything was fine. How could Frank's blood be on the ceiling but nowhere else?
