Can a monkey outrun a bullet and still save her litter?

[pinkpenelopy]

A man and his son are off to a baseball game. They drive into town headed for the stadium, but when crossing the railroad tracks the car stalls. A train hits the car, the father is killed but the son is sent to the hospital. He is wheeled into the operating room whereupon the surgeon comes in and says "I can't operate on this child, he's my son."

How is this possible?

2 fathers

An Easy one, but it made me laugh when I first heard it in 8th grade.

What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

 

[ruko]

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.

I don't think the assassins are prisoners. Prisoners with guns?

Well you have a quarter tank of life now of course!

hey guys...
a friend asked me this but uptill now i am unable to solve it. Can someone help me out and tell the answer with a sensible logic??
here it goes:
What is the next number in the series...
0, 1, 3, 13, 183...??

Hi everyone. I saw this problem in a logic textbook I had in a class many years ago:

Two friends meet after having been out of contact with one another for some
years. They have the the following conversation:

A: I have three sons.
B: What are their ages?
A: The product of their ages is 36.
B: That is not enough information.
A: The sum of their ages is the same as the the number on the building across the street.
B: Give me a minute to work it out with pencil and paper.

B: I've almost got it but I need one more clue.
A: The oldest one has red hair.
B: I've got it.

What are the ages of the three sons?

well my logic is that to do it, first write down all the real possibilities that the number on that building might have been. Assuming integer ages you get the following which equal 36 when multiplied:

Ages = 1,1,36 (sum = 38)
Ages = 1,2,18 (sum = 21)
Ages = 1,3,12 (sum = 16)
Ages = 1,4,9 (sum = 14)
Ages = 1,6,6 (sum = 13)
Ages = 2,2,9 (sum = 13)
Ages = 2,3,6 (sum = 11)
Ages = 3,3,4 (sum = 10)

The big clue is that the second friend DID NOT KNOW after having been told the sum equalled the number on the house. Why didn't he know? The only reason would be that the number was thirteen, in which case there are two possible answers. For any other number, the answer is unique and the friend would have known after the second clue. So he asked for a third clue. The clue that the oldest had red hair is really just saying that there is an "oldest", meaning that the older two are not twins. Hence, the answer is that the redhead is 9 years old, and the younger two are both two years old.

The Lions would be dead, so that is the safest!

lol I see i am not the only one to get this question right!

In a hole there is no soil , coz its hole ...simple.

 

[sugandh]

A tricky one
there is a glass jar and it contain one bacteria,which doubles itself in one second and again that two doubles mean becomes 4 again in 1 second.if it goes like this and the whole jar is full in 1 minute , then at what time the jar was half?

dtz easy..,..59 min

 

[sugandh]

well jia answer is correct in numbers but minutes is wrong well u got the concept good work.

 

[sugandh]

another simple one
Larry's father has five sons named Ten, Twenty, Thirty, Forty...Guess what would be the name of the fifth?

 

[VeeEight]

Larry?

K now comes a difficult one :-

some people went for vaccation. unfortunately it rained for 13 days when they were there. but whenever it rained in the morning, they had clean afternoon and vice versa. In all they enjoyed 11 morning and 12 afternoons.
how many days did they stay there totally?

 

[VeeEight]

13 days is 6 mornings and 7 afternoons (or vice versa), 11 mornings - 6 mornings is 5 more days, so the total is 18 (or do you have to add 5 more for the 12 - 7 afternoons? - enjoyed throws me off, I enjoy the rain)

 

[sugandh]

YOUR ANSWER IS CORRECT
Well logic could be anyone like,(11+12+13)/2=36/2=18 Days

 

[sugandh]

May be easy,lets chk out.

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 is the safest, as the room is full of nutrition (ie. assassins). He will live here the longest...Why? because the assassin's will think of themselves as more skilled killers than him, thus he will be of no threat to him. So each will try to recruit him to kill the other assassins (they need to eat too since they are stuck in a room as well). Now of course, this would mean that if the murderer were in fact an assassin, he would have to pretend to not be an assassin, so as to not pose a threat. Now, because he is getting food, albeit in a way most would prefer not to think of, he will survive longer than in the rooms without food (rooms 1 and 3).

Am I right, or am I right?

This is correct. In fact, the assasins haven't eaten in 4 years, and are all dead, whereas the lions ate well 3 years ago.
