View Full Version : Weekend Riddle Jumping Dog ProCop 07-24-04, 02:54 AM A man bet his neighbour $1000 dollars that one of his dogs, Bunny, could jump higher than a house. Thinking this not possible, the neighbour took the bet and lost. How come? cosmictraveler 07-24-04, 03:09 AM A doll house. ProCop 07-24-04, 03:43 AM A doll house. No, neither any similair miniature. Tiassa 07-24-04, 03:55 AM Got it, I think. Highlight below this text. A house can't jump. ProCop 07-24-04, 04:00 AM Very good tiassa A bonus? You stand at the corner and see a funeral procession passing by. Then they stop for a moment. Empathy overwhelms you and you offer your condolences to the man nearby. "Were you a relative close to the deceased?" you ask, wishing you hadn't. After a moment, the man replies, "Brothers and sisters I have none, that man's father is my father's son." What is the relation of this man to the deceased? Alpha 07-24-04, 04:27 AM Answer: His son. --- A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it? ProCop 07-24-04, 09:57 AM Alpha your answer is good. I know the riddle you posted, so I will leave it for somebody who doesn't know it yet. invert_nexus 07-24-04, 11:20 AM Kill the chicken, stuff it with corn, kill the fox and skin it. Voila! :D I'm sure that's not the answer you were looking for. Closet Philosopher 07-24-04, 11:24 AM Procop, it was his uncle. ProCop 07-24-04, 12:12 PM Procop, it was his uncle. Could be, if the brother of the man is deceased so that the dead may be the son of the deceased brother of the man. Good point! Alpha 07-25-04, 12:16 AM Kill the chicken, stuff it with corn, kill the fox and skin it. Voila! I'm sure that's not the answer you were looking for.Uh, no. LOL. He needs to get them across the river... intact. Procop, it was his uncle.That was my first thought. darkraven 07-25-04, 03:38 AM the answer highlight below: you first carry across the chicken then come back and carry carry across the fox and take the chicken back, then leave the chicken and take the corn across then go back and take the chicken across :) Alpha 07-25-04, 06:11 PM Right. Did you figure it out yourself? vslayer 07-26-04, 12:30 AM i think i got the aswer to procops 1: the guys brother is dead, and it is his funeral, he has no brothers anymore darkraven 07-26-04, 01:54 AM yes, i did figure it out myself but ive heard something like it before Alpha 07-26-04, 02:20 AM You and I are to play a competitive game. We shall take it in turns to call out integers. The first person to call out “50” wins. The rules are as follows: 1. The player who starts must call out an integer from 1 to 10. 2. A new number called out must exceed the most recent number called by at least one and by no more than 10. Do you want to go first, and if so, what is your strategy? vslayer 07-26-04, 03:43 AM yes, you want to start by saying an even number, that way if they increase in 1s you will get to the 50 the other one is too long to explain but if anyone wants to play i can put it to the test Alpha 07-26-04, 07:20 AM No, try again. There is a perfect strategy. MewSkitty 07-26-04, 10:01 AM I have a riddle that realy hard so here it gos: I fisher man goes on vacation for two weeks and leaves his son to do the work. The fisherman is unaware that his son isn't going to do the work. Two weeks later when the fisherman comes back he finds out his son didn't do anything. How did he know and figure it out using the three following clues: 1: the fisherman doesn't keep records so he couldn't look at those to find out 2: No one told him his son didn't do any work 3: It has something to do with the boat. ProCop 07-26-04, 11:12 AM Some kind of fungi or alch plants grew up at the submerged parts of the boat which would have been swept away if the boat had been sailing? MewSkitty 07-26-04, 11:24 AM nope. Here's another clue: I boy didn't use the baot at all, but it was in the spot it gets put when it's done being used. Also it took me two hours to give up and look at the answer in the book I got it from. ProCop 07-26-04, 01:54 PM OK possibly the sea level was such that the boat was put at a place which wasn't possible to be used (due to the ebb and flad levels) at the time of father's arrival? dsdsds 07-26-04, 03:25 PM The work was to paint the boat. The boat wasn't painted? MewSkitty 07-26-04, 03:48 PM None of you are correct. I said this is a hard one and you'll have to think out side the box more. ProCop 07-26-04, 05:28 PM Was it a motor boat? ...no petrol used? The boat was leaking but no water in? Spider webs all around? Water plants growing so that the boat would disturbed them if moved? I suppose the riddle is based on logic, but there are riddles based on word play such as " I saw " (saw is a werb) but you can (in such riddle) change it into a noun "a saw" and cut a tree with it... MewSkitty 07-26-04, 07:17 PM here's a big hint: It has to do with plants, and nothing to do with water. vslayer 07-27-04, 12:48 AM um... maybe he lives on the amazon and no-one had cut thru the vines on the path at all that week vslayer 07-27-04, 12:49 AM it need to be explained clearer coz i gant tell whether the fisherman took the boat awy on a trip or he left his son to do the fishing MewSkitty 07-27-04, 10:13 AM He left the boat at the place where thay do fishing so the son could use it, and the place is around the west coast of the USA. coluber 07-27-04, 03:00 PM maybe there were plants on the boat and because the boat was not moved during the day or turned, the plants grew in the direction toward the sunlight. Showing that the boat stayed put for a long time :confused: ....?? maybe? no? MewSkitty 07-27-04, 03:11 PM That's real close but to exacly the answer to this riddle. dsdsds 07-27-04, 03:19 PM I fisher man goes on vacation for two weeks and leaves his son to do the work. The fisherman is unaware that his son isn't going to do the work. Two weeks later when the fisherman comes back he finds out his son didn't do anything. How did he know and figure it out using the three following clues: 1: the fisherman doesn't keep records so he couldn't look at those to find out 2: No one told him his son didn't do any work 3: It has something to do with the boat. It's really a stupid riddle. There are many solutions to the riddle you initially presented. Another example of a perfectly logically solution is that he tied the boat up using a special knot and it was the same knot when he returned. This solution and many others mentioned above satisfy the riddle. Now you are saying that it has something to do with plants. A good riddle gives you all the information you need to find the only one possible solution. coluber 07-27-04, 07:35 PM Don't get huffy, just because you can't solve it cosmictraveler 07-27-04, 08:57 PM He went on vacation on his houseboat which was moored just outside of where he lives so that he could see what happened every day while he was "away" on his houseboat on vacation. MewSkitty 07-27-04, 09:49 PM No that's not eather. The book I got this from hade alot of riddles as hard as this one, but most where just plane stupid. certified psycho 07-28-04, 01:04 AM A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it? Too easy: 1.The Man Takes the Chicken first. 2.Then he takes the fox second. 3.Then he brings back the chicken. 4.Next he takes the sack of corn to the other side of the river. (So far the fox and the sack of corn are together on the other side of the river, whereas the chicken is still alone in the starting point) 5.Finally the man comes back for the chicken and carries it to the other side of the river. I am pretty sure I am right. Nuttyfish 07-28-04, 05:07 AM I know...maybe his son was dead, 'cos he'd spent 2 weeks without food (i.e fish). MewSkitty 07-28-04, 03:09 PM No, and here's a clue that's everyone should know by now: Thay allways dock the boat in the grassy shore when it's done being used. vslayer 07-28-04, 08:40 PM just tell me!! i cant stand not knwing certified psycho 07-29-04, 12:14 AM I have a riddle that realy hard so here it gos: I fisher man goes on vacation for two weeks and leaves his son to do the work. The fisherman is unaware that his son isn't going to do the work. Two weeks later when the fisherman comes back he finds out his son didn't do anything. How did he know and figure it out using the three following clues: 1: the fisherman doesn't keep records so he couldn't look at those to find out 2: No one told him his son didn't do any work 3: It has something to do with the boat. the boat never moved from where the fisherman left when he went away. Am I Right?? purple_hairstreak 07-29-04, 05:06 AM The grass near the boat had grown which would not have happened if his son had dragged the boat across it and into the ocean...? MewSkitty 07-29-04, 10:26 AM No. To try to make this easyer I'll give y'all one last hint: It has something to do with the grass. vslayer 07-30-04, 04:37 AM hmm... part of his job was to mow the lawns? :D MewSkitty 07-30-04, 03:53 PM No sence this is taking so long here's the answer: The boat stayed in the same spot over the grass so no sunlight was able to reach the grass under the boat so when the kids father moved the boat he seen that the grass was a pale green from getting no sun light. MewSkitty 07-30-04, 04:00 PM I didn't want to mess up this riddle so I put it in a new post and the riddle will be after the line below ------------------------------------------------------------- ThisJriddleiwillrbeahiddencwithenhthisimessage andWyou'llihavestohfind itMtoasolvekiteOK?r ------------------------------------------------------------ Her's a clue to solve it: use your mouse.
