"Stopping along the trail to rest, Judy saw that one-third of the rest of the group from the Girl Scouts was behind her and three-fourths were ahead. Not counting Judy, what was the total number in her group?"

[Kitkat]

13:w7:

[Blanche]

The grim reaper is lurking around this one Bumps - how about a clue?:MISSIN~18

[Lady Bump]

No not 13 as I said before that was thought to be the answer till a whizz kid maths pro stepped in and got all methodical with the answer:3rofl3: Better tap on the neighbours bedroom window Kat:16wink:

[Kitkat]

:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3: that's the trouble, I already did

[Lady Bump]

:3rofl3: :3rofl3: didn't tap hard enough:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Lady Bump]

Bit hard that one..answer was nine
Here is a diagram of the troop:

F F F F F F J B B
Judy noticed that she and those behind her (3 total) made 1/3 of the troop (of 9).
F F F F F F (J B B) -- 3 / 9 = 1/3
Those ahead (6) made of 3/4 of troop (of 8, not including her).
(F F F F F F) B B -- 6 / 8 = 3/4

[Lady Bump]

Why would that matter:smirk:

[Blanche]

Why would that matter:smirk:
You don't curl straight hair. Obviously not answer though:lmaoblue:

[Kitkat]

because the curlers are used as anchors for the teepee:w7:

[Blanche]

You can't take any pictures with hair curlers - you need a camera:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

Nope:3rofl3:

6 - if his lungs aren't shot!!:hyper:

[Lady Bump]

Lucky Guess

6, he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.


How many animals of each species did Moses bring aboard the Ark?

None. Noah took the animals aboard the Ark, not Moses.

Don't think a dagwood dog is the answer myself:16wink:

[Blanche]

Time for a teensy clue I reckon - how about it Greg:MISSIN~18

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Teensy clue.

It was Oedipus (in Greek mythology) who solved the question, not Ulysses....oops!!). It is called the "Riddle Of The Sphinx".

Does that help?:16wink: :16wink:

Totally confused now! Oedipus had quite a reputation that I can't link to this!!
If subject not about horses, blackjack or golf the Viking is not going to be any help at all!! Thinking, thinking:MISSIN~18

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

I have to admit the viking reference sort of threw me a bit too........not quite sure how to link it in really, but I am sure Julie has an idea.


Second Hint. The time of day = stage of life-span

In your sock drawer, you have a ratio of 5 pairs of blue socks, 4 pairs of brown socks, and 6 pairs of black socks. In complete darkness, how many socks would you need to pull out to get a matching pair of the same color?

I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?

Answer has nothing to do with my head either:3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Nannakaz]

A Sponge?

[Lady Bump]

yep was easy:3rofl3:


While driving home after a hard day's work, I came upon the following problem. An entire town had been painted black; the roads, pavements, buildings, hedges, and everything that did not move had been painted black. In addition, my vehicle's headlights were not working, no moon was visible, and power was off in the area, so there were no street or house lights around. At that moment, I entered a curve where a solid black dog (deaf, and thus unaware of the approaching car) was sitting in the road. He had his back to me, so there was not even a glint in his eye, yet I was able to swerve round him quite easily and without danger. How was this achieved?

[Sue]

It was daylight still and he could see the dog??

[Lady Bump]

Gawd I thought that would be a hard one:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3:


I live above a star, and yet I never burn,
I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,
I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,
PRS (& sometimes Q)are my initials, now tell me what I mean.

[Sue]

Something to do with star signs?

[Lady Bump]

nope not really:grin: but one is close:3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Ooh, that one is nasty.

"7"

It is the number 7 on the keypad of your telephone, right above the * button and the letters PQRS on it (well mine does.....what is this "sometimes Q" bit???).

(It helped that I first read this with the telephone in my hand about to call someone.....and the second number I was dialling was the "7").

[Lady Bump]

:thumb: Q apparently is only on the newer phones

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Fair enough.

This one may be a bit of a long one, if it is, just post another teaser.

A man has to make a life or death choice. He is presented with two bags. One is supposed to contain a green grape, the other one a purple grape. If he picks the bag with the green grape, he lives....the purple, he dies.
There is a problem though. His enemies have made sure that BOTH bags contain purple grapes.

How does he manage to survive the choice?
(and no, he cannot refuse to choose, he dies if he does that).

[Lady Bump]

The bags presented were empty only supposed to contain grapes so didn't matter which he chose:3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

No, they both definitely contain purple grapes, but only he and his enemies know that
(in the actual story, I think he was a king or something like that).

[Lady Bump]

:w7: Told them he couldn't swallow pips so asked for them to make wine from the two grapes and he would drink . hopeing it would dilute the poison:!!!!yello

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Not a bad answer.....but no. There is no poison, he picks the purple grape, he gets killed (by spear or hanging, cant remember which..but something like that anyway).



:w7: Told them he couldn't swallow pips so asked for them to make wine from the two grapes and he would drink . hopeing it would dilute the poison:!!!!yello

Id wait till they dried up and then you wouldn't be able to tell what colour they were:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3:

Um.....no??!!:16wink:

[Lady Bump]

Don't reckon back then they knew a blue grape from a green, or have paper bags invented...are you sure this is a factual riddle:3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

Nope....but I didn't mention anything about a "paper" bag....just a bag.

But they probably didnt know one grape from another, just that they made good juju juice!!:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

Well in other words we may be looking at plums here ... now thats a whole new ball game:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

For all I know, they could be watermelons...:3rofl3::3rofl3:

but the story did say "grapes" so you may have to imagine that they were grape sized plums...:16wink::16wink:


Well in other words we may be looking at plums here ... now thats a whole new ball game:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Kitkat]

are you sure the owner of the bags wasn't colour blind and thats why the wrong grapes were put in the bags and therefore it's null and void:MISSIN~18

[Lady Bump]

:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

How can we solve it if you can't get the facts straight Mr Pd:3rofl3: :3rofl3: :3rofl3:

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

*sigh*...........
:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

Okay. The conditions of this puzzle are:

There are two bags
The bags, whatever they are made of, are NOT see-through
Each bag contains one grape
One of the grapes is SUPPOSED to be green, the other Purple
BOTH of the grapes are Purple (done this way deliberately by the enemies of the guy picking the grape)
The people watching him pick the grape do not know about Point 5, they think there is one of each colour.
If the dude selecting picks a Purple grape, he dies painfully and quickly
How does he pick one grape in such a way that he stays alive??!!
(Note: There IS a way to do it)

There are no plums, watermelons, wine, poison, colour-blindness or tricky "switch the grapes when nobody is looking" answers..

(although those COULD be solutions to other puzzles....keep 'em in mind).:3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:

Oh, and Hi Katina.:kissing:

[Lady Bump]

Ok Mr Pd don't get off your bike we'll pick up the pump...

we just have to cover all bases on these solve it puzzles. Its called a process of elimination:thumb:

watch out Julie incase you get eliminated first:lmaoblue: :lmaoblue: :lmaoblue: :lmaoblue: :lmaoblue:

Dont know if I could still ride a bike, it is too many years since I was silly enough to want to exercise enough to ride one.:3rofl3::3rofl3:


Oh, and I know, I wasnt cranky, sowwy if you thoughts I wuz!!!

Hint: The solution has something to do with ONE of the grapes only. The other one is just there for show.

They look at the colour of the squashed grape (purple) and he dies....

There IS no nice way to say that, is there??? Maybe:

His life force suddenly goes in a different direction to his body
The future declines to take up his options
