the bird sings on step 33 (btw, the middle step is 25 (33 - 8))

he walks down 12 steps and picks up a pebble
33 - 12 = 21

He takes one step up and tosses the pebble over his left shoulder
21 + 1 = 22

Now, he walks up the remaining steps three at a time which only takes him 9 paces

3 x 9 = 27; 27 + 22 = 49

Duh! I started off with x/2 when it should have been (x+1)/2!

2. Coats are usually put on to keep warm and dry... and yet! What type of coat must you always put on only when wet?

1. vowels

2. paint

So you can spell coke, joke, poke but how do you spell the white of an egg?


A person who picks up cigarette butts from the streets finds that he can roll a new cigarette from the tobacco of seven butts. One Saturday he picks up forty-nine butts and on the Sunday decides to smoke all the cigarettes he can make from them. How many cigarettes did he smoke?


Supposing you are captain of a ship and it has three red funnels and it leaves New York on a Tuesday and gets to Southampton on Saturday and on the return trip reaches New York on Thursday, what is the name of the captain of the ship.



A woman had triplets in July and twins in August - in the same year. How could that be possible?


A butcher is 5' 10". What does he weigh?
