cornerstone Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 HEY, HEY RWGII RETURNS DOWN UNDER!! You have no idea how much work I have got done! John and Andy were professional golfers and keen rivals. One day during a game, they had each scored 30 when Andy hit a bad shot. John immediately added 10 to his score. John then hit a good shot and he won the game. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 John and Andy were professional golfers and keen rivals. One day during a game, they had each scored 30 when Andy hit a bad shot. John immediately added 10 to his score. John then hit a good shot and he won the game. Why? Because adding 10 is bad in golf? The question is oddly worded.

KB Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Before the bad shot John was cheating but he figured (after seeing where Andy's ball went) that he was safe to put down his correct score. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Nup. We'll keep that on the go, and introduce a new one: Which one of the following four words does not belong to this group, and why? ORIOLE ORANGE MONTH OIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Which one of the following four words does not belong to this group, and why? ORIOLE ORANGE MONTH OIL Month, because it doesn't begin with O. Month, because it has only one vowel. Oil, because it's the only word contained in another. Oil, because it's less than the 5 letter limit. Month, because it's the only thing you can't hold in your hand. Oriole, because it's the only word that contains another word present.

Pugwash Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 You're on the right track here. Oil rhymes with Toil. Nothing else has rhymes, allegedly. You can add silver and purple to that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Now why didn't I think of that! Because the question was so badly worded to hide the obvious ambiguity, that it became cumbersome enough to be misunderstood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 (OT: Ach, what a shite day... ) Here's a different question: Rachel was sun bathing at a nude beach because she heard it was the best way to acquire an overall tan. Day after day she was out lying in the sun, yet couldn't manage the complete tan. What could she be doing wrong to prevent her from receiving the even tones she so desired?

"a" wasn't the answer to the other one. If boiling water is poured into a thick drinking glass as well as a very thin wine glass, of the two, which is more likely to crack? Explain.

jonthebhoy Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 If boiling water is poured into a thick drinking glass as well as a very thin wine glass, of the two, which is more likely to crack? Explain. The wine glass would crack first. He would blame the decanter for buying the drugs and then passing them on to the whisky tumblers. He would blow in the champagne flutes as they were on the scene and he would accuse the hi-balls of extortion as they were wanting a piece of the action. He would grass up the ice bucket just because he is an ugly b**tard. Never trust a wine glass…………..more like a whine glass! Wot’s my prize?
