OVERLord Javix Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Times are hard in a small rural town, business is slowing and people are moving out. It so happens that there are two horse-dealerships in town. Unfortunately there's only enough people to support one of the dealerships. So the two owners meet and decide that one of them must leave town. Since neither of them want to leave they devise a competition to see who gets to stay. It is decided that they will race their horses across town. Now they don't want to damage their horses, so they change the race rule so that whoever's horse crosses the finish post LAST wins the race and gets to stay in town. So the next day they set off. Both are ambling along, taking rests and getting nowhere nearer to finishing. After a few hours a wise old man tells them to dismount and gives them some advice. After which the two sprint back to the horses, get on and gallop towards the finish line. Assuming that the race rules were not changed - what advice did the old man give them ? Ride the other person's horse to the finish line. A cowboy rides into town on friday, he stays for three days and leaves on friday, how does he do it? His horse is named friday.

Dark Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Bob left Town A and needs to go to Town B. He comes across a four-way intersection and does not know which way to go. There was supposed to be a sign telling him where is where, but it fell down cuz of Hurrican Malalaws. Assuming Bob has no map, how will he get to his destination. [spoiler=Answer] He takes the sign and puts the arrow of the town he came from pointing the way he came from. He then looks at the sign and sees which way his destination is.

Dark Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 "...pick up the sign and look at it..." No, that would be somewhat incorrect because you cannot tell which way is pointing to where. It fell down. Another riddle. You are driving in a car at 20 MPH. The speed limit is 50 MPH. Assuming you cannot be stopped for driving too slow, why did you get arrested?

Umbra Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I would say 100 now? or....1?DINGcorrect Actually, 100 cats catch 100 mice in three minutes. 1 cat = 1 mice / 3 minutes X cats = 100 mice in 100 minutesX cats = 1 mice / minute But since we've already stated that 1 cat catches 1 mice in three minutes, X is only valid if it equals 3. 3 cats catch 3 mice in 3 minutes, as stated before. Therefore, the correct answer is Three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
