If you have only one match and you walked into a room where there was an oil burner, a kerosene lamp, and a wood burning stove, what should you light first?

Makaveli · 13-04-2002 06:35PM

The match.

What gets wetter the more it drys?
What gets bigger the more you take from it?

Both easy but I cant think of any others right now.

circle has one side?

1 hour

A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left?

Makaveli · 13-04-2002 09:25PM

It is the St.Ives one I just couldnt remember the name of the place

9 sheep left

The cirlce one is a bit of a dodgy question I probably shouldnt have asked it.

Makaveli · 13-04-2002 09:29PM

Fi the answer 12 is right.

The answers to yours were, seeing as people didnt see my answers:
The clerk weighs meat
The months are 12
70 you gave as right
Noah did the ark not Moses so none
The last question is the same as the first.

Cerberus · 13-04-2002 09:34PM

A circle has infinite sides

Cerberus · 13-04-2002 09:43PM

A monkey sits in the corner of a square room, in each other corner there is a pair of monkeys. How many monkeys can say they saw other monkeys?

How much dirt is in a 3' by 3' by 3' by 3' hole?

Monkeys can't talk so I presume none of them could 'say' how many monkeys they saw?

A 4 dimensional hole ehh..??

I presume you mean a 3 foot cubed hole. It being a hole would imply that there is no dirt in it.

fi · 13-04-2002 09:46PM

yes sorry, 12 is correct!!

and it was when i was going to St Ives i met a man with 7 wives each wife had 7 cats each cat 7 kittens

kittens, cats wives, how many were going to St Ives

but Dublin, and mothers and kids is good too

:):)!!!

They both win all 5. Their playing against 2 others. ??

Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it

I start with an E and end in an E
and inbetween there is only one letter, what am i?

envelope is the physical answer. Eye if yer looking for a word

BTW as for the circle question - you can say 1 side if yer refering to the actual line itself or if refering to the circle you can say 2 sides - inside and outside.

Cause he's playing Monopoly.

As for the monkies in the square room - the answer would be 0, if you wanna take the "monkeys cant talk" answer, or 15 otherwise (cause a "square room" has 8 corners - 4 on the ground, 4 at the roof.)

Gordon · 14-04-2002 04:30PM

Bah, yes monopoly
:rolleyes:

Inside outside was the answer I was looking for.
For the hole one, the extra 3' was me not paying attention to what I was writing.
The monkey one is none coz they cant talk.
Bonkey there may be corners at a ceiling but you cant sit upside on it or in mid-air.

I cant think of any more riddles.

Bonkey can't, but monkies might!

But bonkey, while the ceiling has 4 corners and the floor has 4 corners, the room only has 4 corners (would you count the 4 corners on the door and the 16 on the walls?).
