cornerstone Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Good to see that the foot-stepping kept you all going for ten minutes as opposed to the usual two!

cornerstone Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 64 WINNER!!! And, of course, it's a bit like asking how many gaps there are between the hour markers on a watch. Captain Frank was out for a walk when it started to rain. He did not have an umbrella and he wasn't wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a hair on his head got wet. How could this happen?

cornerstone Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 That's right Puggy - I knew what you neamt anyway! And I think Ken explained it better than the card did! There are lots of similar puzzles to this, but worth a whirl once I reckon.... Sam was taking a holiday break on BIN Island, an island where the girls are often sans underwear, the natives always lie, and the visitors always tell the truth He was strolling along the beach one day when he approached two ladies tanning themselves. One of the ladies got up and said, "I'm Sue and this is my friend Dolly." One of the ladies was a native and the other a visitor. After her introduction Sue said to Sam, "one of us is a native." Which one is a native and which one is a visitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think Sue is the visitor because she told the truth. Ken Yes Sue is the visitor because she told the truth about there being one native.

Guest overboosted Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 sorry for the hijack but.................. The Dahm triplets are hot. In appreciation for their hotness Hugh Hefner gave each of them a Patek Philipe watch (not perpetual calenders). Then the trouble began. While Nicole's watch kept perfect time, Erica's lost a minute a day and Jaclyn's gained a minute a day. Must be reps. If the girls set their watches to the correct time at noon the day they received them and never reset them after that, how many days would pass before the three watches would again all show the correct time at noon?
