You're right - that's some digging in eight hours!!

Here's one to intrigue - try it without googling though

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was shot on June 28 1914. When the attendants rushed over to him, they could not get him out of his uniform. Consequently, he bled to death. The problem they had encountered was that they could not unbutton or unzip his uniform. Why?

[Everythingape]

Oh I know this! The vain bastard had made his tailors sew the uniform on him, adding buttons afterwards just for show.. He had said he wanted no wrinkles or creases in his uniform, so they decided to sew it on.

Edit: we made the assassination into a school play once, I played one of the aids trying to get him out of his uniform, but actually cutting into his skin and thus making him bleed more.

Great answer!! WINNER!!!

When Mama boils pasta she adds three drops of oil and two drops of vinegar to the water. While at the market Mama accidentally dropped and broke the vinegar bottle. Undaunted she instructed the shopkeeper to put both the oil and the vinegar in the same jar. How could Mama pour exactly three drops of oil and two drops of vinegar into the water using just one bottle?

[Everythingape]

Hummm.. Oil is lighter than water (and I suppose vinegar), so it would float on top of the vinegar in the jar. She could tip the jar a little and let three drops of oil drip into the pastawater. And if the jar has a lid, she could turn it upside down so the vinegar is nearer the lid and unscrew the lid to let two drops of vinegar out.. Mama would make one hell of a mess but at least she tried.. hehe

With a long dropper.

The quizmaster seems to be very busy, so I´ll give this thread a little bump again...

Mr. Kenberg owns a rugged cottage that is without power. There is a grandfather clock in it which he frequently forgets to wind. One day when this happened, he went to Cornerstone to check the time. When Mr. Kenberg returned, the first thing he did was set his grandfather clock to the correct time. Since he does not have a TV, telephone, or radio, how could he set his clock without knowing the length of the trip to Cornerstone ?

[Everythingape]

Maybe he set the time on any of these

Edit: 'cept the pen maybe.. but that WOULD be cool though.

Of course he set the time on one of his wristwatches...RIGHT ANSWER from the Norwegian ape !!!

Here´s a little tricky one...

Pugwash bought a door to fit in a door frame. The door was too large, so using his Power Door Trimmer, he cut off a piece. He found it was too small. So he cut off another piece. Being a Master Craftsman, he cut pieces only off the length of the door. The width and thickness remained the same, and he did not cut the frame. This time the door fitted perfectly. How come?

He turned it through 90-degrees?

GREAT WORK WITH THE VINEGAR AND OIL!! WINNERS!!

And great work keeping the questions going, they're getting thin on the ground here

(I'll let Melvin call if Pugwash won!)

The Amazing Kev, the famous magician, was bragging about his markmanship. He claimed to be able to hang up his hat, walk 50m blindfolded, then turn and shoot a bullet right through his hat. Since The Amazing Kev could not see through his blindfold, how could he manage this feat?

Sorry, but it was not the right answer....

Just read the question one more time...

[cornerstone]

Well, he is a cheater and blindfolds only one eye.

It's good...but it's not right!

Keep 'em coming!!

In the question, it said Pugwash cut off a piece and found it was too small. The "it" was not door but the piece that was cut. So the door was still to big and needed to be cut further.

Of course this is RIGHT !!!

"It" refers to the piece that was cut and not to the door...

[cornerstone]

WINNER!!

Dan Manley invited Miss Goodbody and Candy Barr to his house for a barbecue. Since Dan's barbecue is only capable of handling two hamburgers at one (Aussie snigger), he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers in the shortest amount of time. It takes 5 minutes for each side of a burger to cook. Therefore in ten minutes two will be cooked, and another ten minutes will be needed to cook the third burger. Candy says all three can be cooked in 15 minutes. How?

Ok, let´s do it logically...

You have 6 sides that require 5 minutes of cooking each, so 15 minutes don´t seem to be impossible...

Cook Burger 1&2 - 5 minutes

Cook Burger 1&3 - 5 minutes > 1 completely cooked

Cook Burger 2&3 - 5 minutes > 2 & 3 completely cooked

In the end you have 3 burgers in 15 minutes, right ?
