Forget that - did he wear the right outfit for the event?

Mom and Dad have four daughters, and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the family?

7, Mom, Dad, 4 daughters and ONE brother.

You almost got me, thinking the trick would be remembering mom & dad.

Good job to both of you :) DS hasn't been able to get a single riddle right yet, here or on Facebook where we are having a riddle war.

You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

This is the one he's struggling with right now on FB.

DaemonSeid 01-24-2011 03:41 PM

I said you can use either container as you only need 1 gallon, or use a measuring cup!

DaemonSeid 01-24-2011 03:43 PM

uh uh....not the pour the three into 2 answer...NONONONOOOOOOOO

AGDee 01-24-2011 03:44 PM

Pour the three into 2? What are you talking about???

Don't you fill the three gallon container up twice (for a total of six gallons)? Each time you fill it up, you pour it into the five gallon container. Since it can only hold five gallons, you're left with one gallon in the three gallon container.

Use the 3gal to fill the 5 gal. Repeat. Whatever spills out the 2nd time will be 1 gal.

I had the right idea, but was lacking in simplifying the logistics. :p
