blue

Last week's answer

mezzanine===>yay, Katt,Johnny and Blue...you all got it right.

It is a game which was created by French mathematician ...(won't say the name then it will be too easy ) which he discovered when doing experiments into perpetual motion?

I think the game is Roulette and the Frenchman is Blaise Pascal.

:'( Johnny...I give up...(just kidding)!

You,Katt and blue are just too good...
Hmmm....I am gonna try harder to find the one you won't be able to figure out.

Yay! Looking forward to the next question!

Bring it on Nan!  And thanks for all your effort!

Johnny you are just too good (and fast!).

Thanks Nan as ever and I too am looking forward to the next question.

Last answer-Roulette by a French mathematician,Blaise Pascal (this guy is an amazing inventor)



Here is another one....ready?

A black dog stands in the middle of an intersecton in a town painted black.
None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a storm.
A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him.

How could the driver have seen the dog in time? 

Could it be the sunshine?

Not quiet....

But full moon and sunshine sound good ones.

It was day time?

blue

Heh heh...seems like blue got it right.
(nothing indicates it was a night time)

Way to go.

Here is another one.

Four men sat dawn to play,
They played all night till break of day.
They played for gold and not for fun,
With separate scores for everyone.
When they had come to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts.

Can you the paradox explain,
If no one lost, how all could gain?

Sounds like 4 slots players... but, I think maybe they were not playing a game (that would be for fun and they played for gold) so I have to say they were "playing" music...

Hooooogly Moooogly.........................Katt,you re so right AGAIN.

They were musicians...

Dang it guys...you guys are too good with this game and make my brain spins too much.

Okay, here is a tricky one for ya guys.

A man and a woman were driving in their car when it broke down.
The man decided to go for help at a gas station a few miles back.
He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the sedan’s doors.
He went off, but when he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car.
No physical damage was done to the car,

so how did the stranger get in?

Oh gosh... I have it, but I don't want to answer AGAIN! Somebody else stand up and be counted!

Ok I'll try this 1. He took the keys from the wife?

They had separate cars or he gave the keys to the wife.

Come on Katt - put me out of my misery.

blue

Ok, you said the man went for help which means the wife must have stayed behind. He made sure nobody was in the car, but could that mean he checked to make sure his wife was the only one there? That would indicate that the wife unlocked the door for the stranger she thought was there to help? It's a long shot lol

Ahhhh...Lucy,Blue and s2000chick...all of the answers are great ones and Katt...you re so sweet heart. Buttttttt................no, not quiet.

Hint.......remember, the wife was dead...

Alright I will answer now... His wife died in childbirth and the stranger was his new baby that he never met before...!?

Nan

Try this; The wife was dead and there was a man and a woman driving when the car broke down, the man went for help but not the woman, could it be the stranger in the car was the woman and the wife being dead wasn't really a part of any of this?

I loved all the answers but looks like our Katt got it right.:) Thanks everyone for the answers!!!

The stranger was a baby and the woman died in childbirth.

A night shift guard, while on patrol at night, dreams that the king will die in a plane crash.
He tells the king so in the morning, but the king tells him not to worry, and flies anyway.
When he returns from his trip, he fires the night shift guard.

Why does the king fire the night shift guard?

Sleeping on the job I'm thinking Nan.

blue

Wow, blue....how did you get it so quick.............

Okay since we have the answer already, I must post another one. Hope this one's not that easy.

Bouncing Bob was riding a particularly frisky horse when suddenly its bridle came off.
As they raced down the road, a screaming Bob clung to the horse’s ears for dear life.
Out of the corner of his eye, Bob saw a car coming, and realizing the horse was completely out of control, he panicked.
Flailing his arms about, he accidentally caused the horse to come to an abrupt halt.
What could Bouncing Bob have done to make the horse stop?

Oh Blue you beat me to it, as soon as i read it that's my first thought.

Lat answer:

Bob accidentally put his hands over the horse's eyes. (If a horse can't see he will automatically stop.)

Robert and David played several golf matches against each other in a week.

They played for a pizza at each match, but no pizzas were purchased until the end of the week.

If at any time Robert and David had the same number of wins, those pizzas were canceled. Robert won four matches (but no pizzas), and David won three pizzas.

How many rounds of golf were played?

Ok Nan.. I think its 11 Rounds.

Yay,Lucy!!! You got it.

It is 11.
David won 7 matches, 4 to cancel out Robert’s 4 wins, and 3 more to win the pizzas.

Are you ready for another one?

A kind man comes across a dirty box, a voice says to him “Coconuts, $5 a dozen” With his lightning quick arithmetic he calculates that if he sold those same coconuts to the coconut air assault team for the accepted rate of $3 per dozen that in no time at all he would be a millionaire.

What’s with this guy, assuming his math is accurate?

Wow I can't believe I got one right... Next one will require more coffee, still thinking.

Was he the coconut farmer? He would not have to buy them for the $5 the box was selling them for.

That's a tough one Nan. 

I don't get how if he bought them for $5 and sold them for $3 he can make a profit and it clearly says "if he sold those same coconuts". 

Ya got me Nan.

blue

You have a good point there blue... don't like my answer much anyway, cause undercutting the box's price and selling them directly does not seem like the act of a "kind" man. Back to the think tank for me! 8'|

Hee Heeeee.....(see Nan smiling...)

Not quietly right there Katt.......shame on me.

Does he steal them?  nah that can't be right as he is supposed to be kind.

I'm foxed Nan.

blue

I can't figure out this one either.

Ok, time to get logical here... A kind man comes across a dirty box, a voice says to him “Coconuts, $5 a dozen” With his lightning quick arithmetic he calculates that if he sold those same coconuts to the coconut air assault team for the accepted rate of $3 per dozen that in no time at all he would be a millionaire.

ok, he was kind (does that mean honest or anything at all?)  the "box" was dirty (hmmm) a voice in the box (hmmmmmm) none of this stuff seems to have much to do with it.. he is quick with arithmetic (hmm hmm) so, lets go on...

important - same coconuts that are being sold at $5/dozen (these gotta be the exact ones he buys) then he sells them for only $3/dozen. At this rate he will be a millionaire in no time...

ok, the man had to have more than a million to begin with because he is definitely gonna lose money on every dozen... so he will get down to a million by doing this???

What do you say Nan? Right track? please??? I am going crazy with this one! 

katt

"A kind man comes across a dirty box, a voice says to him...."

Why kind
why dirty
whose voice

I don't see what the dirty box has to do with it either but it must be something or it wouldn't be mentioned.  As to the voice - whose voice is it? 

I'm totally stuck and I think it's time too Katt.  Come on Nan -put us out of our misery.
