The Batman Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Johnny's mother had four children. The first was April, the second was May, and the third was June. What was the name of her fourth child?Why is it against the law for a man living in Bristol to be buried in Cardiff?There was an airplane crash, every single person died, but two people survived. How is this possible?Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?A man and his son were in an car accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The emergency room surgeon said "I can't operate, that's my son!" How is this possible?What in a car engine serves no purpose but without it the engine does not work?You have a 10p and a £1. You buy a dog and a collar, the dog is a pound more than the collar. How much is the collar?If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills were taken?Divide 30 by half and add 10?? How many do you get??Do you know the answer for what is one plus one?someone will get them all by 2moro night i expect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annanimo Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 OK, I'm on a night shift and totally bored, so thought I'd try your questions. I have to say, most seemed pretty easy.Here goes:Johnny's mother had four children. The first was April, the second was May, and the third was June. What was the name of her fourth child?Presumably Johnny????Why is it against the law for a man living in Bristol to be buried in Cardiff?If he's living he's not yet dead!There was an airplane crash, every single person died, but two people survived. How is this possible?They were married! Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?Mount Everest. It had always been there.A man and his son were in an car accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The emergency room surgeon said "I can't operate, that's my son!" How is this possible?His mum was the surgeon (the fact that nobody immediately sees this is a great example of how we stereotype people according to gender)What in a car engine serves no purpose but without it the engine does not work?No idea, haven't worked it out yet. It's probably so easy it's ridiculous but for the moment I can't think.You have a 10p and a £1. You buy a dog and a collar, the dog is a pound more than the collar. How much is the collar?5p. £1.10 minus the difference (£1) = 10p. 10p divided by 2 = 5pIf a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills were taken?1 hourDivide 30 by half and add 10?? How many do you get??70. But yes, initially I did think 25.As for the one plus one. I expect it's going to be something other than 2. 11 perhaps? Or is the answer that "one plus one" is a sum???

annanimo Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 No, Danakin, you've got me with the engine one. Doesn't matter how I read the question i can't get it. Look forward to seeing the answer tomorrow.In regards the 1+1 question.You ask "Do you know the answer for what is one plus one?" If it's intended as an enquiry into one's personal arithmetical ability, then the answer is surely "Yes"?????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I awaite the abuse although codfather's guess with water was good, i know nothing about car engines, so he could be right with that one, i aint sure.Water serves a purpose. It works with the radiator to stop the engine overheating.(says another user with no great knowledge of engines!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets them off the internet, so i'm sure if you go to google / ask jeaves / lycos etc you'll find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
