Oldie but a goodie(There may be more than one right answer, but the classic one is the best :D)

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why

He's a midget who can't reach the #10 on the elevator, unless he uses an umbrella, or there's someone there to push the button for him.

Very nice :D

A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them to 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?

A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn't break the law. How come?

Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men?

Assume that penguins live with a density of 1,000 penguins per square mile and can run at an average speed of 7 miles per hour on land and swim at 20 miles per hour. Also assume that a polar bear has a territory of 10 square miles, can run at 25 miles per hour and swim at 10 miles per hour, how many penguins will an average polar bear eat in any given month, remembering that a polar bear could, as a maximum, only eat one penguin per hour and 7% of the land is next to the sea.

Lol, put one kid in the basket, then give him the apple.

Hmm....she was going do the street correctly, but her destination was the other way?

She was walking.

JFK

12dn94dst
Right and Right :D

lol that's the most creative answer! You get points for that. I was looking for giving the kid the basket with the apple in it, but yours is better :D

I believe polar bears are vegitarians, no?

umm... something like cut one in have, make a (w)hole? i feel like i heard this one before.

because she doesnt have a license, therefore breaking the law desnt apply cayse she didnt sign anything that binds her to driving laws.
stumped.

JFK? (wasnt great on Amer. History)


24 penguins/day * 30 days = 720 pengiuns (provided it didnt sleep or anything... i mean penguins can swim... can polar bears swim? (legitimate question)

all that other info seems extraneous. (ETA: i started to question that - are polar bears even carnivores?)

i didn't think polar bears and penguins lived in the same place, except the zoo.

For the win! Polar bears live in the Arctic, Penguins in the Anarctic.

They are definitely NOT vegetarians Alphafrog. In fact they're really the only bear that's completely carnivorous. Not a lot of vegetation up north. And they do swim, just not as well as penguins :D

That only leaves this one unanswered:
Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men?

Rice doesn't grow in Japan?

Nope.

Hint: The question is not- "Why does a Chinese man eat more rice than a Japanese man"

because there are more Chinese men than Japanese men?

Ohhhhh...

Because Chinese men don't eat Japanese men. At least I hope not.

Yes

Extra credit :D

This is mathematically incorrect. There is no possible way that in six years she be 5 times older than her son. Even if we count the nine months. The math is off in this equation. I saw the math work and it still is not proven once you solve for x.

Is there a website where that came from??

Ok what a minute I think I'm figuring it out

Is the mother 20.25 at conception (20 and 3 mos.)

In 9 mos she has the baby then she is 21

In six years she is 26.25 in time of conception

Then the boy is 5.25

Got it!! Ok it wasn't even about the riddle anymore for I was trying to figure out the math. LOL

Have we found out where the father is in this riddle?? ^^ Probably locked up in some room trying to do a different sort of math... "He was delivered in April...we broke up last July...didn't get back together until........"

:p

Yeah someone answered it already. The father was *ahem* IN the mother as the child is currently -9months old.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D Hilarious. Thanks.

you'll find it on several websites if you google the first line of the joke in quotes.

as far as the math, i think you're making the same mistake i did initially in that i wasn't adding six years to the son's age also. initially i was doing x+6=5y, which indicates that in six years the mother would be five times older than the son is right now. it should be x+6=5(y+6); when they both have aged six years, the mom will be five times older than the son.

regarding solving for x, x doesn't have to equal a integer. as long as x equals something other than an operation of itself, the equation is solved for x and that value can be plugged in elsewhere. x was solved with x=21+y (the mother is currently 21 years older than the son).

no takers on this one? I'll give a hint: the word ends in "r"
