- By moving one of the following digits, make the sum correct. 62 - 63 = 1
- You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?
- You have 12 black socks and 12 white socks mixed up in a drawer. It's early in the morning and you don't have any light to see the colors. How many socks must you pull out (blindly) to be sure of getting a matching pair?
- What is special about the following sequence of numbers?
8 5 4 9 1 7 6 10 3 2 0 - Three travelers register at a hotel and are told that their rooms will cost $10 each so they pay $30. Later the clerk realizes that he made a mistake and should have only charged them $25. He gives a bellboy $5 to return to them but the bellboy is dishonest and gives them each only $1, keeping $2 for himself. So the men actually spent $27 and the bellboy kept $2 - what happened to the other dollar of the original $30?
- You are the bus driver. At your first stop, you pick up 29 people. On your second stop, 18 of those 29 people get off, and at the same time 10 new passengers arrive. At your next stop, 3 of those 10 passengers get off, and 13 new passengers come on. On your fourth stop 4 of the remaining 10 passengers get off, 6 of those new 13 passengers get off as well, then 17 new passengers get on. What is the color of the bus driver's eyes?
- A rooster lays an egg at the very top of a slanted roof. Which side is the egg going to roll off on?
- U2 has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them.
The flashlight must be walked back and forth. It cannot be thrown and other tricks like that are not needed to solve the problem. The solution is simply a matter of allocating resources in a certain order. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:
Bono: 1 minute to cross
Edge: 2 minutes to cross
Adam: 5 minutes to cross
Larry: 10 minutes to cross
For example: if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission. - Why is it very common to have a 9 minute snooze interval on alarm clocks, why not 10 instead?
- A bookworm eats from the first page of an encyclopedia to the last page. The bookworm eats in a straight line. The encyclopedia consists of ten 1000-page volumes and is sitting on a bookshelf in the usual order. Not counting covers, title pages, etc., how many pages does the bookworm eat through?
this weeks trick questions answers!!!
tell me if you got any of these right!!!
1. 1, i was the only one going to st. ives.
2. You have only left one. (You brought the other two with you.)
3. The letter *r*.
4. None of the above.
The third millennium started recently, not the second.
5. You were the pilot, so your name.
6. Edam (*made* backwards)
7. Forever... the boat rises with the tide.
8. In an alphabetical listing of US states.
9. One big pile.
10.Four
11. What ... that*s the dog*s name.
12. One; after that the bread is no longer whole.
13. They both weigh the same. N.B.: Only if weighed with the same pound counterweight on a balance scale.
Alternatively, feathers, like most items, are measured in pounds
avoirdupois, but gold is measured in pounds troy. People will
commonly tell you that there are 16 ounces in a pound avoirdupois
and 12 ounces in a pound troy, but this isn*t a great explanation
because an ounce avoirdupois and an ounce troy aren*t the same thing
either. But if you go down to grains, which _is_ a common measure in
the two systems (or translate to grams), there a pound of feathers
weighs 7000 grains (454 g), but a pound of gold weighs 5760 grains
(373 g). In this real-life scenario a pound of feathers weighs more
than a pound of gold.
14.From an duck*s egg.
15.One is a half a dollar and the other is a nickel
16.The answer is ONCE, because after that you are folding it into quarters, then eighths, etc.
If you were to answer it beyond this trick question, then 8 would be maximum. I tried it, and after that the paperbegan to tear.
17.An able-bodied person, i.e. not an invalid. It is pretty normal not to have ALL your fingers on ONE hand.
18.Only the boys were actually buried. The story tells us that in this massacre Herod would only have killed boys, because he wanted to kill Jesus, the future king of Israel.
19.The toe of a boot usually faces forward.
20.The sophisticated computer (the broken clock is only right twice a day, the other clock only once in every 236.55 years).
i didn't really like these trick questions, they were hard in a simple way. you had to really pay attention. plus, they were kinda dumb.
i'll get better!

what happened to peace and quiet???
right now i am listening to the sounds of my brother zach screaming, my other brother noah sighing and saying, why cant taylor come play with me? (just a note to that: I HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH THEM ALL WEEK!!!!! I NEED ALONE TIME!!!!) and dad working on the floor.
sometimes, i just wish that i had a normal family, you know, 2 normal, quiet little brothers. A mom and a dad that dont have to do a different' project every weekend/week, ones that think A LOT about who that project is going to affect.
Just kidding.
I LOVE MY FAM!!!!

so, a couple of days ago i took a leaf out of my dads book, and tried to do something technical.
didn't work out so well.
on thecutestblogontheblock.com (LOVE THAT WEBSITE!!), they tell you how to make your own blog backgrounds.
most of it (well, all of it!) required photoshop, and we dont have that.
so, i decided to try to be clever, and just use my photobucket account to do it the short way.
once again, didn't work out.
oh well, at least there was a lesson learned:
i'll never survive as a technician.
