I know theres so many more. but they all are unique. and should only be chimed in when there is an important meaning that they could have, especially when you have a thread like this that really had nothing better to do.
Einstein's Problem (Math Problems at Davar Web Site)
Einstein's Problem
The author of this problem is Albert Einstein who said that 98% of the people in the world couldn't solve it.
Facts:
1. There are 5 houses (along the street) in 5 different colors: blue, green, red, white and yellow.
2. In each house lives a person of a different nationality: Brit, Dane, German, Norwegian and Swede.
3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage: beer, coffee, milk, tea and water,
smoke a certain brand of cigar:
Blue Master, Dunhill, Pall Mall, Prince and blend, and keep a certain pet: cat, bird, dog, fish and horse.
4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.
Hints:
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house (next to it).
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15.The man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water.
The question is: Who keeps fish?
Warning! Before looking at the solution you are strongly advised to get one of
your own.
If you didn't solve the problem, try to continue on your own as early in the
solution as you can.
Another clever clogs German. the air is thick with them....
I've gotten an absolutely brilliant idea from a internet blogger I read regularly. That is to fill the pre-paid postage envelopes from credit card companies with coupons and other junk mail and send them back. Maybe even send them blank applications from other credit card companies. Today I got an application from a credit company and this is what they wanted from me. $29 U.S. for activation and $72 U.S. every 6 months to have the card. What else you might say. A $3/month maintenance fee. They want all this from me for a lousy 9.99% apr. I have 4 credit cards currently, all of which I pay nothing to have. So where do they get off thinking I'm going to pay them for theirs. Here is where the fun begins. I have put in the mail earlier today, their postage paid envelope. Enclosed, 10 Marlboro miles and a handout scripture card of Hebrews 10:22 I got from some holy roler on the street. I do hope whoever is getting minimum wage to open these envelopes takes these tokens of retribution and puts them to good use.
As we continue on with this thought of thinking, and I hope not to loudly as to disturb the neighbors, we can conclude that everyone has a thought at one time or another.
What becomes interesting to me is what others are thinking at the time. What do they really think of this thread? How many people had started reading this thread and just got bored with it right away? Which of us have actually read it from beginning to end, without missing a single reply? Has the Admin and mods read it? Why can't the sky come in other colors like magenta?
But more to a point....
If you were to just touch a poison tipped arrow, could you become I'll as well? Why would you even want to test this out? Where is the best place to hide a new car from your wife? What if its a car for her?
silliness continues on....
If a clown isn't funny, is it still considered to be clowning around? What so bad about putting all of your eggs in one basket if you only have 4?
I have 2 dogs.
What if anything would you make with 3 eggs, flour, sugar, milk, and water?
Must everything that gets thought about make sense? What are the real odds of a 500 rated player beating anyone rated over 2000?
Must you really wash your hands before every meal? and what if you are in the desert? would you really want to waste your water supply on a bath? How many fireflies does it take to equal the lighting power of a 100 watt lightbulb?
It is late, and I am tired, so I will end this round here, but please continue with your thoughts as well.
