    If you have three apples, how many apples do you have?

    Is this a trick question?

    I didn't study philosophy...

    I laughed sooooooo much at that.

    My brother came down from upstairs to see what i was laughing at.

    There's no deeper meaning behind the question, Kawaii - it's just a joke. They wouldn't get that if you had 3 apples then that's the answer to the question. Don't mention philosophy on the GAA players exam thread, by the way - it has 4 syllables for God's sake! The implication is that GAA players are slow, you see... ;)

    Ive a funny feeling it was written with american football players in mind.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 786 ✭✭✭spudington16


    It was originally written for American football players (hence a number of American references in some of the questions - e.g. 7-11, Macie's, etc.) but it was changed by an Irishman who posted it on his website.

    I got the joke Paul. You think I'm stupid? And besides, you showed me that joke before.

    Don't take things so seriously. :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 96 ✭✭oddlyaromatic


    I have nothing against the people who work in Spar. It was a joke.

    It would only be personal if I knew you and wanted to piss you off.

    Point taken though.
