23rd day NO? As you got out the 30th, unless of course you count days like some do decades...
Question: if a hen-and-a-half can lay an egg-and-a-half in a day-and-a-half, how many eggs can 7 hens lay in a fortnight?
98?
Are we doing this in metric?
I think it's 65. Still takes the hen a day and a half to produce an egg.
If it's easier to express the answer in millieggs, that's fine.
You are correct, as usual, Remind. I was released December 30th and am trying to keep 2010 hospital-free.
Snert, I take it you are a fan of Click & Clack, the Tappett Brothers?
What's next in the series: O, T, T, F, F, S, S ...?
I'll have to say 98. Yes I looked at Michelle's answer, and she's always right. And before a fortnight is up, I'd like an answer to this one:
ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE
ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.
There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.
1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?
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 next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house 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 centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man 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 Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.
16. Let us accept for the purposes of this puzzle that someone DOES own a fish, and that fish CAN BE owned.
I have the image of half a hen and half an egg stuck in my brain, they are both kinda liquidy, gooey and the stuff of nightmares.
I think the neighbour who drinks water is the fish. The fish actually owns the house and merely allows his person to live there, much the way cats do.
One hen, one egg, one day.
Use the force, or a paper and piece of pencil. Dot the connects?
So, Fidel, we have something in common: We're both afraid of dying someday.
E, N, T, E, T, T, F, F, S, S, E, N, T
Wouldn't it be three hens, two eggs, one day?
Hey, this is fun - to continue:
T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T
This thread reminds me of reading Gogol underground.
Yeah, I didn't care for the question. Had similar problems with the LSAT. I'm sure you're right, skdadl.
And, Maysie, you're definitely right.
My sister passed away on November 4, 2006 at the age of 43. My fear is that I won't live to 44. My fear is so great that the only solution is to kill myself, thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I think at some level my husband understands that I am deeply sorry.
Do you think I will ever see my dogs and cats again? All four of them live with my husband.
Could one of you youngsters tell me how to load a picture onto photobucket from a piece of paper? I have:
- a colour photograph
- a scanner
- a photobucket account (EFSA_Pie)
And, then, can we email it to the HillBilly Jumping Clinic?
I'll be watching for an answer to this one! I have a scanner, a photobucket account, lots of great pix, and I lack only a clue.
Same old song, ain't it?
I married the wrong guy.
I gave up the booze. And the one night stands. And I'm looking for a little place to settle down.
There's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Oh Christ! Looks like I'm moderating on my own today!
Still pineing for Michelle, are we?
Pine-soling.
What does "breaking on the wires" mean? I'm listening to CBC 1.
I thought it was "Name that Tune of Songs With the Word Booze in Them" time.
No. It was Rate My Ph.D. thesis. Get in the game, girl.
Yes. I think you will work out a shared custody agreement, or at the very least, generous visitation. It's in the cards. Or the stars. Or somewhere.
