Tricky Questions!

I'm starting this thread so as to post some tricky questions here.U may also post q's over here.
"Really the thing is that,I'm fed up by starting new new threads for each Q's."

 

[powergirl]

Let me ask the Ist Quest:'n.
"1) How much soil is there in a hole measuring one metre by one metre by one metre?"

 

[Gokul43201]

A tablespoonfull.

 

[powergirl]

NOt right;
Can anyone answer this?
2) A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

 

[powergirl]

3)(in your head!) Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?
pls sincerely add it in mind...

"1) How much soil is there in a hole measuring one metre by one metre by one metre?"

... Lol... I will guess none, since its a hole and all., but in all probability, Gokul is probably correct as perhaps some dirt was blown back in.

4100, honestly did it in my head...

I'd pick the assassins since they are perhaps sentenced to die too, hence no reason to shoot me. And then we could work on a plan as to how to get out of there.

900 more and I would have answered "average velocity" or "average potential"

Why?

the room full of lions that haven't eaten for 3 years, because they will be dead

 

[powergirl]

Johno's correct...

 

[verty]

Q: A man is in a room with no windows, no door, no holes in the ceiling and no trapdoors in the floor. How does he escape the room?

 

[DaveC426913]

The same way he got in.

 

[verty]

Without demolishing the room... (or rather I should say: "How did he get in then?")

 

[K.J.Healey]

Through either the holes in the wall or floor or the trapdoors in the wall or ceiling.

 

[verty]

It's far simpler than that: through the doorway (there's no door).

 

[cristo]

It's far simpler than that: through the doorway (there's no door).

Surely that's a hole in the wall though, so Healey01 is right!

 

[verty]

He was on the right track, taking the negative of what I had said. His answer was also sufficient.

 

[dontdisturbmycircles]

the room full of lions that haven't eaten for 3 years, because they will be dead

lol, good point

 

[Gokul43201]

NOt right;

No? Is it a teaspoonful, then?

2) A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

The second room. The murderer is actually an assassin, and all his homies are hanging out there.

In the first room, he'd die of emotional overdose from all the rage, and in the third room the stink will kill him.

 

[cristo]

In the first room, he'd die of emotional overdose from all the rage

This has got to be the right answer!

Here's another one for you guys...try it pls''.'''.''''.'''''


Each of the clues make up a type of flower, for example "small container + to allow" would be "vial + let", or "violet."

Can you figure out these five?

1. an implement + flesh around mouth
2. foppish + a large carnivorous wildcat
3. to wed + a soft yellow element
4. a false statement + be deficient in
5. indicates an alternative + child

 

[powergirl]

Yaaah,here's another one:


"The Forest For The Trees"

In each sentence the name of a tree is hidden. The willow is hiding in the first sentence. Can you find the others?


1. I will owe you a favor if you drive me to the airport.
2. I am afraid of going up in elevators.
3. Drinking cocoa keeps me warm on long winter nights.
4. I hope the map leads us to buried treasure.
5. "Eat another bonbon," said our charming hostess.
6. Nepal may be the most interesting place I have ever visited.
7. Remember to fold the map, please.
8. I feel many lumps in this mattress.
9. Word processing is not as useful as pens and paper for creative brainstorming.

:::>A man dressed all in black is walking down a country lane. Suddenly a large black car without any lights on comes round the corner and screeches to a halt.

How did the driver know there was a man in the road?

 

[powergirl]

A prisoner is in jail. There are two doors, one leads to freedom one leads to death. There is a guard at each door. One guard always tells the truth, the other always tells lies. The prisoner is allowed one question to either of the guards.
What is the question that will take him to freedom.?

:::>A man dressed all in black is walking down a country lane. Suddenly a large black car without any lights on comes round the corner and screeches to a halt.

How did the driver know there was a man in the road?

Because the driver could see the man- it was daytime, so lights were not needed.

 

[powergirl]

Correct...

Ask one of the guards what the other guard would say if you asked him if his door led to freedom. Then take the other door to what he tells you.

Q. A truck driver is going the wrong way on a one-way street and then goes up onto the sidewalk brushing several pedestrians. Many people see this happen and yet go about their business as if nothing had happened. Why?

A. The truck driver was walking.

 

[J77]

He's walking

 

[powergirl]

Ask one of the guards what the other guard would say if you asked him if his door led to freedom. Then take the other door to what he tells you.

Hmm.. CORRECT...

 

[J77]

Hmm.. CORRECT...

That's an old one, like:

A bloke's found dead, hanging above a puddle in a locked room. How did he die?

(or words to the effect of what I've put there.)

 

[dontdisturbmycircles]

That one was posted a few weeks ago J77, he used a cube of ice to hang himself.

Someone killed him, hanged him, left the room and locked it. The puddle? Well, it could be anything.

Exactly how many slices of 1.5 cm each can you cut from a whole bread which is 22.5 cm long?

 

[powergirl]

A landlord is threatening to evict a father and his beautiful young daughter, unless she agrees to marry him. In a false gesture of sincerity, he offers her an opportunity for her and her father to remain in the house, without marrying him. He has a silk bag in which he says he has placed a white and a black stone from the footpath on which they're standing. If she picks the white stone from the bag, without looking, she wins; if she picks the black, she loses. However, the young girl saw him place two black stones in the bag. She can't expose him in front of the witnesses without angering him and making things worse. How does the clever girl win?

 

[powergirl]

3)Three switches outside a windowless room are connected to three light bulbs inside the room. How can you determine which switch is connected to which bulb if you may enter the room only once?

 

[DaveC426913]

Exactly how many slices of 1.5 cm each can you cut from a whole bread which is 22.5 cm long?

Everybody knows that 4 cuts divide something into 5 slices.

So 16.

She picks a stone out of the bag and accidentally drops it on footpath before anyone can see it. Thge only way to know which she picked is to look at the other one in the bag. Since it's black, she must have chosen the white one.

3)Three switches outside a windowless room are connected to three light bulbs inside the room. How can you determine which switch is connected to which bulb if you may enter the room only once?

Flick one switch on. Flick another switch on for 30 seconds then turn it off.
Now enter the room.
One bulb will be on, one will be off and the third will be off but still warm.
