Lets see!!!

A man rides his horse in to town on Wednesday he stays for 4 days only but he leaves on Friday. How is that????

A father and son go for a car ride they have a very bad crash the dad is killed on the spot. The son is taken to a hospital the doctor comes in looks at the boy and says. I am sorry but i can't help this boy for he is my son. How is this????

There is a fog at the bottom of this well that is 12 feet deep there is no water in it. in the day time the fog can jump up 3 feet but at night the fog must jump back 2feet. How many days will it take the fog to get out of the well???

Check back Friday for you answers... and see how smart you are;)

Question #1- It doesn't state that he didn't go on more than one trip. Therefore he arrived on a Wednesday and then left on a Friday sometime in the future.;)

Question #2- The doctor is the deceased man's father(the grandfather of the surviving boy).

Question #3- I assume you meant frog rather than fog?;):lol: The frog will leap over the edge of the well during the daytime of the 10th day.

How did I do?:)

Define "smart," because these do not measure actual intelligence. They measure awareness and reading comprehension.

I don't feel so smart anymore.. what's ETA stand for? I've only ever known it as Estimated Time of Arrival, but I'm pretty sure that's not what it means here :rolleyes:

Also, notice that for the second question, it mentions the doctor cannot help the boy as it is his son, not grandson.

A father and son go for a car ride they have a very bad crash the dad is killed on the spot. The son is taken to a hospital the doctor comes in looks at the boy and says. I am sorry but i can't help this boy for he is my son. How is this????

So my guess would be that the grandfather (father of the doctor) and his grandson (son of the doctor) are the ones in the vehicle. So a father and a son still go for a car ride. The dad who is killed would be the grandfather, or father of the doctor. Not certain if this is the answer he's looking for or not, but.. that's what I'd go for.

By the way, I've heard that horse one heaps of times with slight variations, so I knew the minute I read it. I do love puzzles like this though!

Another one that I like:

Three men bought an oven for their flat share for 300?. But the salesman realized the oven should have been only 250?. So he sent the trainee and told him to give 50? back to the men. The Trainee cheated and gave back 10? to each, 30? in sum, and hold 20? for himself.
So every man paid actually 90?, together they paid 270? (90? * 3 = 270?). The trainee has 20?.
270? + 20? = 290?
It was 300?, where are the remaining 10??

@ shadows and Kakariko for Question #2:
Change the word doctor to nurse, read again, and change nurse to doctor. The magic of clich? Occupations.

There was no 300 the formula is 3 times 90 equals 270 minus 20 equals 250 which is the amount the store collected. Balances

If competent performed many get serious problems to explain it.
How about this http://forum.transladyboy.com/showthread.php?t=6548, seems to be more a challenge for you.

Another one, probably to easy for Captn Sacto:

The day before yesterday, Suzie was 6 years old. Next year, she'll turn 9. How is this possible?

The day before yesterday, Suzie was 6 years old. Next year, she'll turn 9. How is this possible?

Because Suzy's birthday is December 31. Today would be Jan 1. Two days ago (Dec 30) Suzy was 6. On Dec 31 she turned 7. Later this year, on Dec 31 she will turn 8. Next year on Dec 31 she will turn 9.

Ok so the first one has been answered ..... The Horse is called Friday.

The second one is applicable to a gender related forum ..... You guys are just sexist ..... Females can be doctors too.

The doctor is the boy's Mommy.

The last one I don't know how to answer it is either 8 or 9 days depending on whether reaching 12ft lets the fog creep out being level with the top of the well or whether the fog needs to reach 13 ft (above the top of the well) to pop out in which it is 9 days.

There .... I hope that lifts the fog sufficiently.

8 or 9, how that?
1.Day -9ft, 1.Night -11ft, 2.D -8ft, 3.D -7ft, 4. -6ft, 5. -5ft, 6. -4ft, 7. -3ft, 8. -2ft, 9. -1ft, 10. 0ft. His toes are at -12feet at the stat, 1.day. At day 10 his toes are at zero and he is above the well surface level and he is out of it. I don?t know if it takes the day if you succeed that day. I fully support shadows answer.

My questions would be: Why does it take so long, 12 feet are easy to make in one night for a frog. And why he gets up at day, and down at night? The frogs (treefrogs) that are able to climb/jump in a well are usually night active, to prevent dehydration in the sun.

The birthday was too easy for ila. Maybe those are a bit harder.

Here are some rockabilly probably know, min. 4 out of 5. Don?t spoil the first ones too early rockabilly.

1. Until I am measured, I am not known, yet how you miss me when I have flown.

2. I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some.

3. Who makes it has no need of it. Who buys it has no use for it. Who uses it has no knowledge of it.

4. I am always hungry, I must be fed. The finger I lick will soon turn red.

5. You are allowed to use only two numbers and no symbols. What is the biggest number you can express with them?

03-04-2010, 03:55 PM

8 or 9, how that?
1.Day -9ft, 1.Night -11ft, 2.D -8ft, 3.D -7ft, 4. -6ft, 5. -5ft, 6. -4ft, 7. -3ft, 8. -2ft, 9. -1ft, 10. 0ft. His toes are at -12feet at the stat, 1.day. At day 10 his toes are at zero and he is above the well surface level and he is out of it. I don?t know if it takes the day if you succeed that day. I fully support shadows answer.

I have to agree I added 3 to 9 instead of 7 in my calculations ......

I blame all those guys who visit me claiming they have a nine inch cock ......

I made a booboo ..... :no:

The frog can't get out quicker because it is so foggy in the well he gets lost .....

2. I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some.

At first I thought it was an invisible penis but now I think I'll answer this tomorrow.

3. Who makes it has no need of it. Who buys it has no use for it. Who uses it has no knowledge of it.

Heard this before it's a coffin ..... but I disagree .... you can buy a coffin to put someone you love in which means you have a use for it.

4. I am always hungry, I must be fed. The finger I lick will soon turn red.

Fat woman on her period .....

5. You are allowed to use only two numbers and no symbols. What is the biggest number you can express with them?

900? 9 and 8 on its side
Are the numbers between 1 and 10?

Good start.

3. I agree with the disagree. It?s not the coffin.

4. If ?The finger I lick will soon turn red.? were true the fat woman would also be very flexible and would feed herself with her ?. No.:no:
Arrrgg, how I get this picture out of my head.

5. O.K. bad explained by me. Two single numbers, 0-9. For example combine a 3 and a 3. No symbols, no words, only the two numbers.
900 contains one number too much (a 9 or a 0). But it?s bigger than 900.;)

4. I am always hungry, I must be fed. The finger I lick will soon turn red.

I?m loved when I?m small, and feared when I?m tall.
You can catch me, feel me, but don?t grab me.
You could say I?m alive but commonly deny me as life form. You know how to kill me and have no moral problems doing it.

If someone is still brooding about it, here are the remaining answers:

3. Grave
It?s an exception that you dig your own grave (not proverbial).
A coffin is not as limited in use as a grave, but to put a corpse in it would only be useful if you want the corpse back, or more common to transport it (witch would be a use). If you visit the grave you don?t use it.
If someone knows he uses it, something went terrible wrong.

4. Fire
I found the life aspect interesting:
it has a metabolism,
it creates a balance between intake and excreta to keep the flame stabile,
it response to stimuli,
the ability to change over a period of time in response to the environment (as embers, smolder),
it moves, it grows, it reproduces itself (over sparks),
and it dies.
