6 + 4 = 210 9 + 2 = 711 9 + 5 = 313 5 + 2 = 37 7 + 6 = 113 9 + 8 = 117 10 + 6 = 416 15 + 3 = 1218 Explain. FINALLY! One I can figure out….  6 = 4 = 10, yet 6 - 4 = 2… subtraction solution first, addition solution second… 210 9 + 2 = 11, yet 9 - 2 = 7… substraction solution first, addition solution second… 711 WAIT…. is #3 correct? 9 + 5 = 313… shouldn't it be 9 + 5 = 414? |

Sorry, Very busy, complicated day when I did that. Fixed now. Here's a new one. An American is traveling in Africa. He is lost and comes to a village that is divided by a river. He is aware that all men in this village travel in pairs, that they all speak English, and that each pair must include one man from the east side of the river, where all people always lie, and one man from the west side of the river, where all people always tell the truth. The American sees a pair of men at a fork in the road. He needs to ask whether to turn right or left. Only one of the choices will lead back to civilization. The other will lead him to a tribe of cannibals. What question should he ask? |

I left something out of the above question. No wonder no one knew how to answer. And I left something else out. The road was washed out by a flood just after the man came through. He can only go forward. Here's a new one. Solve this equation: SIGMA (Greek letter) = (x + a)(x - b)(x + c)(x - d) ... (x + y)(x - z) |

Three men enter a room, sit down in chairs arranged in a circle so they can see each other, and are blindfolded. The man who blindfolded them says, "I have three white hats and three red hats. I will put a hat on each of you." He puts red hats on all three men, hides the three white hats and takes off the blindfolds. The man says to the others, "If you see at least one red hat, raise your hand." They all do. The man says, "If you can tell me what color hat you have on, stand up." One does. Why?

At a major university, one of the oldest buildings has a main hallway three hundred feet long with light bulbs hanging from the ceiling every three feet. They are turned on and off using a chain pulled from below. Initiation for the Delta Upsilon Eta fraternity is as follows: the person in charge of pledges, carrying a flashlight, enters the hallway from the rear entrance at night (they have been given permission) and makes sure all the lights are off, then returns to the group who are gathered at the main entrance. The least desirable pledge enters the building at the main entrance, turns on all the lights, and returns to the group. The second least desirable pledge enters at the main entrance and turns off every other light. The third least desirable pledge enters at the main entrance and pulls the chain on every third light, the fourth does it for every fourth light, and so on until they are out of pledges. If there are ten pledges, for example, the first one goes in at the main entrance and pulls the chain on every eleventh light, the second does it for every twelfth light, and so on until all pledges have pulled the chains on the lights specified. This pattern is repeated until there is only one light, the hundredth, to be turned either on or off. Assuming no one made a mistake, which lights are still on when they finish?

A medical condition requires you to take two very expensive drugs, Spoonicet and Aerynol. Each pill costs $100. Twice a day, you must take one of each at the same time. Two of either one can cause serious side effects. You open the Spoonicet and shake out one pill. Then you open the Aerynol and two pills come out. It turns out the pills look identical. You can't tell which ones are which. You can't waste any pills because of the expense. You can't take a chance that you will take both Aerynols since the side effects are terrible. What do you do?

I have two. And, yes, I know I'm a week behind on USA Today TV ratings. That will be true for a while. I have to have lots of time. I also haven't searched for ratings for the missing week. I don't know how 3Sheets did that.
First one:
Two men walk into a bar. One isn't too bright but his rich uncle hired him to make his sister, the man's mother, happy. So he has money. The other is smart but has money problems. The bartender informs the second man that his bar tab hasn't been paid in months and is now into the hundreds. The second man, reading the newspaper, sees an interesting trivia item and figures out what to do. He says to the first man, who he knows, "Did you know three of the first four Presidents of the United States died on July 4?"
The first man says, "Interesting. Who were they?" The second man says, "It doesn't say." Knowing Adams and Jefferson were two of the three, he shows the first man the news item, under the heading, "Did you know?" but it doesn't name them. The second man says, "I tell you what. If I can name one of the three, you pay off my bar tab. The first man says, "It's a deal!" Why should he not have done this?
Second one:
Kyle, Timmy and Spoonie go fishing on Spoonie's yacht. After a productive day on which Spoonie drinks a lot (Timmy and Kyle don't drink alcohol), they agree to split the fish three ways, though they decide to wait until morning to count them. They will spend the night on the yacht, which is back at the marina, and split up the fish the next morning. If the total number of fish is not divisible by three, one or two fish will be thrown back so each man will have an equal number.
Kyle wakes up in the middle of the night and realizes he has to be at work very early. He quietly goes up on deck, counts the fish and realizes the total is not divisble by three. He throws one back and takes his share and leaves. Timmy, who was waked up by Kyle but unaware that Kyle is missing, remembers he too has to be at work very early. He goes up on deck but doesn't worry about waking Spoonie, who drank so much it will take an explosion to wake him. He counts the fish, realizes the total is not divisible by three, throws one back, takes his share and leaves. Spoonie wakes up with a hangover, but when he doesn't see the others he just assumes they're still sleeping. He goes up on deck, but he wonders why the number of fish seemed much bigger yesterday. He decides his memory is foggy because he was drinking, counts the fish, realizes the total is not divisible by three, throws one back, and takes his share and leaves, figuring the others will be up soon.
Assuming the lowest number possible for this outcome, how many fish were there in all?

If you take a bathroom scale to the moon, what else can you take to the moon which when weighed there on the scale would show a higher weight than if weighed on the same scale on Earth?

Count the remaining pills in both containers and see which has less than the other. The one with the smaller quantity is the Aerynol. |

I never said how many pills are in either container so that's not going to work. |

I may have done this one but I'm not searching for it.
Using 16 matchsticks, show the following as Roman numerals:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4
That equals 10. Move one matchstick to make it equal 4.

20 boys play on a baseball team. They wear identical hats.
When they go to a restaurant to eat, they throw the hats in a pile with no clue as to which hat belongs to which boy. Each boy will retrieve a hat from the pile when it is time to leave, not knowing which hat belongs to which boy. What are the odds that if all hats are retrieved, exactly 19 boys will have the hat they came in with?

A barber died suddenly after giving his last haircut and his son, who had just finished barber school but never worked with his father, took over the shop the next day. There was no sign indicating how much the father had charged and the son had never asked. There was still money left in the cash register from the father's last day of work.
The first customer walked in. He had never visited the shop before, so he didn't know how much the father charged. The son said, "How much should I charge?" The man said, "I don't know. Your father's loyal customers must have figured the place would be closed out of respect." The son said, "But I figured they'd need me to be here. My sister is taking care of the funeral arrangements and we'll close that day."
The customer said, "How much is in the cash register?" The son said, "I don't know why that would help. I tell you what. How much do you have?" The customer said, "Why don't I do this. I'll look in the cash register, see how much is there, and if I have an equal amount, I will add it and then take out 20 bucks."
The son, who wasn't too bright, said, "That seems fair."
The customer did exactly what he said he would do and left.
Another customer came in. He was also new. Asked how much to pay, the son said, "Count the money in the register. If you have the same amount, put it in and take out $20." The man thought that sounded strange but did it.
A third customer came in, and the routine was the same.
A fourth customer came in and was told the same thing when the time came to pay. The customer said, "Hey, buddy, who told you that's how you should charge people?"
The son said, "What do you mean?"
The customer said, "Either they gypped you or you're a moron. The register is empty."
Assuming the first three customers were completely honest, how much money did the register have to start with?
