need a break for a couple minutes?
here's a quiz for you!

we have 2 empty tanks A and B. tank A can contain exactly 5 liters of water
and tank B exactly 3 liters of water.
how can we manage to fill one of the with exactly 4 liters???
(we can fill-empty them as many times as we want)

> Fill container 'B', pour into container 'A'...
> Fill 1/3 of container 'B', pour into container 'A'
> Voila! 4 Liters of fluid in container 'A'!


~ I know this is a trick question... some way, some how, I know it's a trick question. ~

Fill the 3 liter jug and pour it into the 5 liter jug. Then refill the 3 liter jug and fill up the 5 liter jug to the top. Since there were already 3 liters of water in the 5 liter jug, 2 liters of water are removed from the 3 liter jug, leaving 1 liter of water in the 3 liter jug. Then dump out the 5 liter jug and pour what's in the 3 liter jug into the 5 liter jug. Refill the 3 liter jug and pour it into the 5 liter jug. Now you have 4 liters of water in the 5 liter jug.

there isn't a way to fill the 1/3 of B cos you haven't any helping meter....
you can just fill them up!!!!

another one:
you are walking in a road to get into the town and you reach a point
where road splits in two other that one of them goes to the town (you don't know which one).
at this point there are 2 identical houses.
in one house there's a guy who always lies and in the other a guy who always tells the trouth,
but you don't know who is who and in which house he is ...
we can only get into one of the houses and make just one question to learn which
road to follow to get into the town...

what's this question??

Oh, wait now...
I think I know this one..

If I'm correct, both men will give the same answer...

If not, sorry.. my head is still spinning from the last one!

 

[tunsty]

No, wait now...

I think it involves asking the men a question about each other.... or something.. I don't care anymore :dunno: :weeping:

 

[Sutty]

???

 

[jod0565]

"Where the fuck is the town?"

 

[rancid_man]

I would ask What was down the road i just came from

 

[Sutty]

I got one, think of a number between 1 and 10.

Double it

Add 8

Divide by two

Take way the original number you thought of.....

Don't tell me yet.....

you ask one guy - "if i was to ask the other guy guy which road to go down, what would he say" then you pick the other one

lets assume the left road is correct - if you ask the lieing guy, he'd say the truth guy would pick the righthand road (as he's lieing)

but if you ask the truth guy, he'd answer honestly that the lieing guy would always pick righthand, therefore lieing, so left is correct!

Life on mars is very strict, the only town there has only has 2 barbers. under strict hair dressing laws no one with out the liciense can cut hair.

a man goes to mars and wants his hair cut, he goes to barbers a, an unshaven mesy haired dirty smelly man, his shop is a mess, grime on the walls wooden stalls for chairs. he decides to go to the other shop....

The only other barber shop was perfect. gleeming white tiles, fresh smelling with comfy chairs and a range of magazines to read. The barber was a well kept cleanly shaven, well spoken man with a perfect hair cut.

the man took one look at the second barbers and returned to the first. Why?

The second guy had to have had someone cut his hair for him.

Maybe a passing alien did his haircut...
