Are you in the top 2% of intelligent people?

Maybe we should rename the thread to:Are you in the top 2% of dumbest people?

Because if you even bothered trying to find the answer or waste your life looking for it then you would be categorised as one ROFLMAO
 
ok FF lol - maybe you'd like one more stock-specific ?


Question is :-
When did he buy BHP?

PS another question is
does anyone know a good pawnshop for jewellery?
also why didn't he SELL BHP just after the euphoria of the announcement lol.
 
Question is :-
When did he buy BHP?

Here's the answer - (since this has had such a fantastic response lol. )

Day = who = what = how much
Friday = Priest = fishfarm = $??

three days between drunk and sober , therefore
Monday = drunk friend
Thursday = sober friend

bank manager not Tuesday, therefore
Wednesday = bank manager, and
Tuesday = girlfriend

filling in more clues :-

Monday = drunk friend = ABC = $V
Tuesday = girlfriend = DEF = $W
Wednesday = bank manager = bank account = nil
Thursday = sober friend = $X
Friday = Priest = fishfarm = $Y

now $(W - X) = $20K
and $(V - W) = $20;
..... therefore
$X = $10K
$W = $30K
$V = $50K

Monday = drunk friend = ABC = $50K
Tuesday = girlfriend = DEF = $30K
Wednesday = bank manager = bank account = $nil
Thursday = sober friend = GHI = $10K
Friday = Priest = fishfarm = $20K

$50K = jewellery, hence ABC = jewellery

BHP less than MBL, hence
DEF = MBL
GHI = BHP

Monday = drunk friend = jewellery = $50K
Tuesday = girlfriend = MBL = $30K
Wednesday = bank manager = bank account = $nil
Thursday = sober friend = BHP = $10K
Friday = Priest = fishfarm = $20K
Hence when did he buy BHP? = Thursday
 
ok - here's a good one (IMO) - anyone played Cluedo ?

This is post #39
maybe a few of you are unfamiliar with the multiple matrix method ..

step 1 = all the clues given
step 2 = add circles at
a) Dentist = Blackmail , and
b) Halifax = Blackmail
why? because it's the only way you can make a "triangle" , i.e.
Dentist = Blackmail = Halifax.

I'll let anyone who's interested "read more detail" on that website.

IMO, It's much less fun using this multi-matrix method, (than the matrix in lower right corner) - because there's less reasoning involved ( just my opinion) - I mean, you just follow the rules, and add noughts and crosses until it's filled in

Step 4 = you can complete the "rectangle" formed by
Dentist = Cousin = Blackmail = Halifax

Step 5 = you can complete the "triangle" formed by
Halifax = Blackmail = Halifax

(By triangle, I really mean that there's a 45 degree slope on the end) .
I won't do any more here, let anyone who's interested check it out themselves.

well , seems no one else is hooked on these things (as I am ) so I'll post the answer...

from the clues you get ...

then yuo fill out the noughts and crosses in the matrix.
Note that the tricky ones are 1k, 1L, 6d, 7m etc - you have to keep coming back to check these.

Anyway pretty much follows the answer they give.. (note the "triangle" - if one corner of such a triangle has a naught, then the other two corners will be the same, either naughts or crosses )

glad this thread has been bumped - read the fist post aaages ago but never had time to write it down and actually do it.. now I can! as well as the others hehe
 
Required.... to fill in the answers, "Girl", "Current" and "Ex boyfriend"...

position (.......... 1.......) (.......... 2.......) (.......... 3.......) (.......... 4.......)

Girl's name (.......... .......) (.......... .......) (.......... .......) (.......... .......)

Current
Boyfriend (.......... .......) (.......... .......) (.......... .......) (.......... .......)

Ex
boyfriend (.......... .......) (.......... .......) (.......... .......) (.......... .......)

Four girls are sitting in an office in the positions in sequence as above.
THey are all going out with young men who work in the same company.
Nothing unusual in that you may say.
However the young man each is dating was currently dating one of the other three.
From the clues can youname each of the girls 1 to 4, and match he with her current and ex boyfriend.

Girls :- Angie Delia Tina Vanessa
Boys:- Andy Daniel Hugo Mike

Clues.
1. Andy, who is now with Tina, used to go out with the girl in position 3, who is not currently dating Mike.

2. Daniel's present girlfriend is working somewhere further to the left than Venessa.

3. Angie, in position 2, either is or was going out with Mike.

4. Daniel's ex is now the regular companion of Hugo, who was not formerly going out with the girl in position 1.
 
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

.

The german owns the fish,


he lives in the green house second from the end,.... he also drinks coffe and smokes prince,...

I honestly don't think it takes inteligence to solve this riddle just determination,...

took me 30mins,.... I must have no life,..
 
clue :- start by naming the current boyfriend of girl #3
another clue :- do these puzzles during the political ads
 
copied (in part) from "the answer in the back of the book"
From clue 1, girl 3, whose ex is Andy, is not currently dating either him or Mike,
while Hugo is now with Daniel's ex (clue 4)
so he is not with girl 3 either.
Therefore Daniel must be!
.... etc (more to follow)
 
... who knows - someone might have a go at this one
even if you're too shy to admit it took 20 minutes
