Title: Brain Teasers
Post by: Highlander on November 26, 2006, 21:22:35 PM
Only really, really sad members with nothing better to do with their time should even consider reading further.

I was give a game by a so called friend some years ago - it hasn't been out of the box but the following are examples contained therein in.

Be warned it may drive you bonkers so I apologise in advance.

Q. They are firmly nailed, but they move just fine
They're kept quite busy all the time

What are they ?

Q. Sonny was a horrible worker. He was lazy, never showed up for work on time and always caused trouble. His boss told him "I wish we had 10 employees like you Sonny.

Why ?

Q. It can help solve aproblem
   Set the sound high or low
   But if it's not cut correctly
   To the bin it will go.

What is it ?

Q. There was a man who was 30 years old in 1970 but was only 20 years old in 1980.

How is this possible ?

Q. Arrange three 2's in a mathematical equation (use any matematical symbols necessary except other numbers) so that the result is 16

If this proves popular I will post more. But I warn you all there are loads of them.

Kind regards to all...

JOHN

Somebody's into spiritualism. Katie King was the name given by Spiritualists in the 1870s to what they believed to be a materialized spirit.

I've googled this to death without success.

The only answer I can put forward is that the boss employs a large number of people and would settle for 10 others being like Sonny.
