A Brick weighs 9lb and half a brick.

What is the weight on a brick and a half?

27 lbs.

1 brick = 18lbs (9 + half of 18)
18*1.5 = 27

The first ones lol- i was thinking, did they start producing the coins from a more valuable metal than the year before.
and for cutting - i was thinking Drugs haha.
 
yes, it's just white text whiskers. The background isn't exactly white but its close enough. :)


A new riddle:

Alayna walked down a road when she met a friend from her high school days.

Alayna: Well, hello. I have not seen you since graduating in 1990. How are you doing?
friend: "Well I married in 1993 and this is our son"
Alayna crouches down: "Hello. And what is your name?"
It's the same as Daddy's" replied the boy.
"oh. so it's Toby, is it?" said Mary.


How did she know when her friend had not said the boy's name>

Her friends name is Toby, who is the boys father.
 
Mary is the unnamed friend, It's Mary's son. Alayna asked the question but it was Mary who said the name.
 
This should be good enough to warrant a thread bump. An old fav of mine:

A panda walks into a restaurant, have a meal, pulls a gun out, started shooting, and walks out. Why does it do that?

Panda's eat shoots and leaves...bamboo that is :)
 
You are stuck in a prison with 2 doors - one door leads to freedom, the other leads to the executioner. Each door has a guard. One guard ALWAYS tells the truth, the other guard ALWAYS tells a lie. You don't know which guard is on which door.

You may ask one guard any single question before choosing a door. What question would you ask?
 
c'mon this one is not that hard. Hint - the right question will let you know exactly which door leads to freedom.
 
"what would the other bloke tell me about this door?"

if he says "to freedom" , then whatever he says is a lie (?) :eek:
- and you take the other door ..

if he says "to executioner" , then again it's a lie
- you take that door

just guessing here ;)
 
Yeah spot on - any variation of "what would the other guy tell me" question will be a guaranteed lie - so just do the opposite to the answer.

ie
- the truthfull guard has to tell you truthfully what the liar will say - ie a lie
- the liar guard will tell you a lie about what the truthfull guard will say - ie also a lie


Simple but quite neat
 
man looking at a photo
.....
"brothers and sisters have I none
