Mr. Dodgers and the children in the neighbourhood are raking leaves at Mr. Dodger's house. They have three piles of leaves in the back yard, and seven piles of leaves in the front yard. When Mr. Dodgers and the children put all the piles together, how many piles of leaves will they have?
It's too obvious that the answer is 'one', because the maths is too easy! To make it tricky, you have to make people try to work it out and make it more complicated =]
I love stuff like this, 'tis fun.
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
Yeah!! most of you were right. Its one big pile. As Lampost said, "put all the piles together"
the question for this week:
Fred drove into the Speedy Service Station and pulled up to the pumps. "Fill it up, please," said Fred. "This may sound strange," said the owner, "but I'd rather fill two cars from out of town than one car from this town." Fred looked across the small town and replied, "I know just what you mean." Why would the owner feel this way?
yeah, sorry ive been away and only just had time to get one.
you were all right. he'd rather fill up two cars than one.
the next one...you might not get this...good luck...
In New York City's Central Park, in the middle of summer, police have discovered the frozen body of a man lying in the centre of a baseball diamond. There are no footprints leading to or away from the body. How did he die, and how did his body get to where it was found?
A poor peasant wanted desperately to get out of [some undisclosed ethnically removed European country], so he hid himself in the landing-gear assembly of a transAtlantic flight. He died of hypothermia during the trip; his body froze while the plane was in the stratosphere. When the landing gear opened on the plane's approach to Kennedy Airport, his body fell into the park.
hmm well maybe the 'Ice Man' put him there... if you are talking real news. As for the footprints... since its a dirt field the footprints can easily be raked away.
stowaway the luggage bit of the plane, froze to death cause it was so cold, fell out before the plane landed and ended up in the park (Y)
"That is why, for Christ's sake,
I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,
in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I am weak, then I am strong"
