OK here's some...
__________
1.
A man on a horse rode into town on Friday, stayed 2 days, and left on Friday.
How did he do it?
__________
2.
There is a clock tower that rings on time on the hour every hour. However, this clock tower is special in that it rings the time out very slowly. Each ringing of the bell takes a full 5 seconds.
When the time is 12 p.m. the bell rings 12 times. How many seconds does it take for you to hear the time.
_________
3.
A teacher was reprimanding a particularly lazy student one day and told him the flollowing.
"At the very least you need to study once a day for an entire week before a test. Don't skimp on time either. Each time you study, I want you to study for a minimum of two hours."
The boy had no choice but to follow the teacher's orders, but decided he'd spend as little time as possible doing so. Assuming the boy followed the teacher's orders exactly, how many hours did he end up studying?
_________
Good Luck!

_________50 seconds, the first bell is instant, and the last bell is 12 and there is no 13 o'clock so you dont have to hear the whole bell tone

_________14. I dont see the trick on this, since she said an entire week minimum of 2 hours a day, an entire week is 7 days x 2 hrs=14 hrs.
Good Luck!

#742 is wrong, how is the first bell instant? 3 is wrong, he can study less time. Good Luck!

Re: Brain Teaser
#75the first bell is instant because you dont have to wait the entire 5 seconds to hear it, as soon as it dings you hear it for the next 5 seconds, so that is not wrong. But I guess the answer would be 55 seconds then.Alexin wrote:2 is wrong, how is the first bell instant? 3 is wrong, he can study less time. Good Luck!

3. well, it could be 7 hours, he studies every other day from 11pm to 1am, which gives him study time of each day, and 2 hours at a time.

#78For the dotted hat one, that doesn't explain how he knew. Neither of the other saw blank blank, but how does he know his hat has a dot because the others could have seen the other person's hat with a dot? If that makes sense...OneWingedAngel wrote:for dotted hats one
they all have dotted hats and the wiseman who wins is first to work this out
he knows cos other 2 wiseman havent gone to king yet, if either saw blank blank they would have gone king so first wiseman knows he himself defo has a dot cos he can see the other 2s hats and they still sat there cos they retarded
gameshow one
i dont understand its either 50/50 chance and makes no difference changin, its a trick question and way its worded or the gameshow is noel edmonds and its rigged like deal or no deal
For the game show, it's not 50/50, and not a trick question (although isn't that basically what riddles are??
), and the game show is not rigged.Forum Moderator: The Chill One ~ Gale Points: 52
