Correctamundo!
OK
I put my answer in in and switched the 'puter off, I must have felt confident.
Appears to be my turn for a puzzle. Well, I've got a long list so I'll crank em out:
You have 2 pieces of string. They are different lengths and varying thicknesses but have 1 thing in common, they both take exactly 1 hour to burn. Using just the two pieces od string and a box of matches, how do you time 45 minutes. Note, as the string thickness varies, you can't assume that after 30 mins the string will be half their length or anything like that.
I like this one, so if you've already heard it then let the others have a chance.
Time...time!!????Quote:

I would use a stopwatch. ;)Quote:

Now the second string (which you only lit one end of) has also burned for 30 minutes, so there is 30 minutes of burn time remaining.
So, you light the other end of the second string as soon as the ends meet on the first... The point where the burning ends meet on the second string will be 15 minutes... Total time will be 45 minutes.
There are probably other ways to do it?
pretty good hexbaz
back to you
I am tied up at the minute - you said you had a long list. How about doing another of yours?Quote:

yep
over to you
But in the meantime:
in a room are three light globes labeled 1,2 & 3 they are all off
in the next room are three switches labeled A,B & C
each switch controls one light
you can't see the globes from the switches or vice versa
you can flick any of the switches but then you must go into the next room and say which switch operates which light
how do you do it?
haven't got one in mind at the moment - back to you SimonC or Hexbaz
Switch one light on for a minute and then turn it off, switch a second light on and leave it, don't touch the third. Go to other room, bulb that's hot but not burning was #1, lit bulb is #2, cold dark bulb is #3.
Mick-who's too itchy to think of any clever questions :(
Nice one Mick
That's me for the night - I might come back with more in a new thread later this week
Okay...enough of this Professor Brainstorm mathie stuff...lets move onto more important matters.
Can someone tell me the occupation of Bon Jovi's father?
P.S. Winner gets a schooner of port
Probably something appropriate (otherwise you wouldn't have asked):
rock band manager
music producer
hair dresser
John Bongiovi, hairdresser.
Who is Bon Jovi ?
Was he or she at Monterey, Woodstock or even Sunbury? :)
Hey duck boy, I believe Bon Jovi digs holes for a living, at holey holeston in the district of Holesworthy. He's lived there his hole life, which has been a depressing pothole of an existence.
Whilst trying to leave this hell hole once, he slipped in an unseen hole, you might say hidden, he was taken back to his rat hole of a home, sucked back into the black hole holey holeston This maybe a hole lot of rubbish which can't be holey hidden in a holesome hole! :D

A cabin lies at the center of a field. There are no roads leading to the cabin. There are four fences surrounding the cabin - none with gates. The cabin has been burnt on the inside and there are six bodies inside. How did the people die?
There are clues. For those of you who know this one, please let it run for a couple of replies at least then impress everyone with you knowledge.
Cheers
Kris
P.S. The six bodies are all burnt, yet none were killed by fire!
Thanks for the offer, but I'm not likely to be in Adelaide any time soon...

Asphixiation
Asphyxiation..is that correct?

Is the cabin an aircraft cabin? If so they died from impact and then were burnt. No, I didn't know this one but I remember teachers giving us these as "lateral thinking" exercises, however I suspect it was mainly because it was end of term and they hadn't prepared any lessons.
Mick
Yep thats right spot on. There was a major malfunction in the plane causing a sudden decrease in cabin pressure thus resulting in the pilots losing consciousness. They didn't die in the impact they all died at the sudden stop at the end.
What is the only thing in the world that when it emits a sound it does not echo?
Clue - it is a living thing; however, it is not static (it also only has two legs)...
Sorry Kris, but it's a myth that a duck's quack doesn't echo. Everything echos, it's just hard to hear a duck's quack because it is a long drawn out sound.
Simon
Hang on and I'll put your theory to the test.Quote:

OK a new riddle
Two friends each stand on the 40th floor of a building, one in London and one in New York. The buildings are constructed from a similar design so the height of each floor in the each buiding is the same. They both drop a tennis ball out of the window at exactly the same time.
Who's tennis ball hits the ground first?
The one in New York. British floor numbers go G-1-2... while American floor numbers start from 1, so the New York ball is actually being dropped from a floor lower than the London one.
very good, your turn
You are in a spaceship trying to dock with an orbiting satellite. It is in a lower orbit than you, ahead and moving past quickly. What is the most efficient way to catch up with it (without waiting for it to come around again)?
fart very strongly
In which direction?
