...Moving day
 
The Smith family is moving to a new house. They have, as pets, a dog, a cat and a mouse. The animals don't get along in the car together so they have to be moved separately. You can't leave the dog and the cat alone, because the dog will chase the cat. You can't leave the cat and mouse together for the same reason.

How can the family move all the pets to the new house?

12dn94dst 04-03-2007 04:41 PM

take the cat to the new house first and leave it there.
go back to the old house and get the dog.
leave the dog at the new house, pick up the cat from the new house and go back to the old house.
pick up the mouse from the old house, leave the cat at the old house, take the mouse to the new house.
go back to the old house, pick up the cat, take the cat to the new house.

correct. Or (2nd step) you could have taken the mouse to the new house, bringing the cat back to the first house. then take the dog to the new house, returning one last time to get the cat.

so if a newspaper is black and white and re(a)d all over, then what is black and white and black and white and black and white?

A penguin rolling down a hill!

christiangirl 04-03-2007 05:07 PM

Well, it was a penguin who fell down the stairs, but that'll work:D.

Rebus brain teasers use words or letters in interesting orientations to represent common phrases.

Decipher the following rebus:



GOT

ok, ok, ok! lol

41 and 43

each number is the numeric notation for the month plus the number of days in that month. january: 1 + 31 days = 32, february: 2+28 (non-leap year days)=30, etc.

Good one. I almost said 41 and 43 just as a guess--no sound basis - LOL.

Name That Tune
 
A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of $50 bills out of his wallet.

He turns to the rich man and says to him, "I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed."

The rich man laughs.

The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it."

The rich man laughs again and says, "OK, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?"

The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What song did he sing?

Did he just sing a real song and instead of the real girls name, he put in the name Joanna Armstrong-Miller??? That's my guess.

ladygreek 04-19-2007 11:46 AM

What's that song?-- name, name, name that's my name too. Whenever I go the people always shout name, name, name.

Or the name game.

Are you thinking of John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? La la la la la la

But no, I think that answer is too easy :) I just can't think of the right one.

The first is needed to make quotes you see,
And it often sticks up when it's time for noon tea.

The second's biggest distinction is found
Bearing the symbol of love that is bound.

The third should be biggest but that can depend,
Never standing alone or it may offend.

The fourth is oft used when making a selection
Or if you should need a gun for protection.

The fifth is the fattest and oddest by far,
And can sometimes be found in a wrestling war.

What are they?

(hint: they're something you carry with you and use every day)

AlphaFrog 04-20-2007 08:21 AM

12dn94dst 04-22-2007 10:28 AM

and another one
 
Can you determine the nursery rhyme being stated below?

Once upon a time there was this ovum consisting of an envelope of albumen, jelly and membranes which decided to moor its entirety on a parapet. Then rather suddenly, and without notice, the ovular succumbed to the Brobdingnagian gravitational pull. The result was that the entire embodiment of the paramount's yeomanry and herbivores were unequal to the task of assemblage.

christiangirl 04-22-2007 03:36 PM

LOL, I'm glad somebody got it!! I got the "albumen" part, but the rest of it lost me so fast I forgot to even consider that! Good one!

This was an actual question in a college bowl tournament! Consider these descriptions of residents of the 100-Acre Wood and determine who's who:

Resident #1 was diagnosed with an obsessive-compulsive type eating disorder--compulsive overeating and obsession with honey. He was placed on a strict diet and put into therapy.

Resident #2 was diagnosed with dysthymia and prescribed 20mg of Prozac a day. He also was suggested preventive treatment for PTSD, which may develop after the constant trauma of finding his house knocked over.

Resident #3 was too hyper to undergo therapy and often destroyed the decorative objects in his therapist's objects with constant bouncing. Instead, he was prescribed Ritalin for his ADHD, as well as Clonidine for his Tourette's syndrome.
