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

[disregardthat]

It's not possible. The equations are 10x+1/5 y + 5/4 z = 100, and z+y+z = 100, which gives 7(28x+3z) = 1600 by substituting y from the last equation into the first. 1600 is not divisible by 7, but 28z + 3z is an integer.

It's not possible when interpreted literally. Obviously there's a trick to it.

But evra is determined to drag it out as long as possible.

What's black and white and red and can't turn around in hallways?

It would have gone a lot easier if you had bothered to work out the solution for yourself, instead of just continually telling us to thiiiiiink!

If more than 5 different people here on PF say it's not possible, that might give a very slight indication that perhaps it is not possible.

 

[evra]

yes, you are all right.

 

[ArcanaNoir]

Hah! Glad I only spent a few minutes on that! I thought I was being dumb.

 

[I like Serena]

Yes.

The puzzle requires 8 had's in a row in a single sentence. Your solution requires two sentences.

Here is a well known sentence with 7 in a row.

Spoiler

Karen, while Jimmy had had 'had', had had 'had had'.

Here is a variation on it.

Spoiler

Jimmy, while Karen had had 'had had', had had 'had'.

Here is a solution to the puzzle with 18 had's in a row.

Spoiler

The first spoiler, while the second spoiler had had "had had 'had had', had had 'had'", had had "had had 'had', had had 'had had'".

a bus conductor accidentally knocked down and killed 50 people while driving his bus in a drunken state.
The judge then sentenced him to death penalty by the electric chair.

On his execution date, he requested to have bananas before he died, and so the judge passed him a bundle of fresh bananas. Surprisingly the electric chair did not kill him.

So the next day, he was tried for execution again, and the same, he requested an apple, so the judge gave him a ripe apple. Amazingly, he survived.

Finally, the judge let him go.

Question: how did he survive?

Everyone in the state is drunk...so naturally they forgot to plug in the electric chair.

 

[disregardthat]

What is a drunken state?

 

[agentredlum]

What is a drunken state?

A state in which everyone is drunk.

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.?

Ok i think i got it. :)
You just have to ask: ¿Will the lier door lead me to death?
Then just take the door of the guard that would say yes.

Explanation: You don't really know who tells the truth and who lies, but here's the trick.
D is death door. F is freedom door.
1. If the lier is guarding D door:
You ask the D door guard the question: Will the lier's door take me to death? he would say no, so you have to go and take the other door.

If you ask the F door (guarded by the truth guy) the question: Will the lier's door take me to death? he would say yes, so take this door. Even if you don't know who tells the truth the "yes" answer will take you to freedom

2. If the guard that tells the truth guards D door:
You ask the D door guard the question: Will the lier's door take me to death? he would say no, so you have to take the other door.

If you ask the F door (guarded by the lier guy) the question: Will the lier's door take me to death? he would say yes, so take this door.

So just take the door where the guard says yes. :)

I think "problemists" should not wait too long revealing the correct answer, if not
solved in reasonable time. However regarding this about sentenced bus conductor
I found explanation in

http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i6731

The bus conductor explained himself why he was not killed by electric chair:
"Because I was a bad conductor!" I.e he joked being a bad conductor could be
translated as being a bad electrical conductor.

Two boys wish to cross a river. The only way to get to the other side is by boat, but that boat can only take one boy at a time. The boat cannot return on its own, there are no ropes or similar tricks, yet both boys manage to cross using the boat.

How?

Imagine you are lonely in a boat in the middle of a wide river ,your boat gets rubbed against some rocks and water is flowing in through the holes and into your boat, you don't know how to swim and the current is very strong and you are not able to control the boat.
Crocodiles starts attacking your boat ,how will you get out of the situation?

I would take off my shirt and stuff it out through the largest holes, where it would be sucked up to the hole, slowing the filling. In the strong current, I'll be free of crocs soon enough.

But suspect this is a trick question.
