cornerstone Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 100 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 The seventh man was in a coffin. 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?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 WINNER @ Melvin! Aye, 12. Don't forget this question is still on the go: 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? Anyway, here's a new one... Gloria opened her own clothing store called 'Big Girl's Blouse'. She wasn't sure about pricing certain items so she devised her own method. At 'Big Girl's Blouse', a vest costs $20, socks cost $25, a tie costs $15, and a blouse costs $30. Using Gloria's pricing scheme, how much would a pair of underwear cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvin.x Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) Don't forget this question is still on the go: 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? I´ll take another try on this one... The fresh blood comes from a smashed mosquito that drenched it´s thirst at Franks blood. Then he smashed it and not disturbed by the noise anymore he fell asleep... Edited July 31, 2006 by melvin.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 $75 It's not right but it is right! I wondered about the question as I typed it - is the item a 'pair of underwear' or just 'underwear' - the answer it gives is $45, but obviously you got this one cracked. WINNER! @melvin: is that your shirt and orange PO in your avatar? Watch looks niiiiice! If two hours ago, it was as long after one o'clock in the afternoon as it was before one o'clock in the morning, what time would it be now? Oh no, does anyone around here have a watch?

Harry Plum, a fruit farmer from Georgia, was waging war against the blackbirds constantly sampling his cherry crop. One day Harry noticed 16 blackbirds dining on his favourite cherry tree. Determined to teach the birds a lesson they wouldn't soon forget, he got out his shotgun and blasted away at them. Although Harry only managed to hit one of the birds, he did succeed in blowing it clean out of the tree. How many birds are now left in the tree?
