Very cool questions. I enjoyed them although I cheated and looked at others responses before I baked my brain trying to figure them out. :D

Ok fine
With a square grid 3 by 3, made up of dots (1 in the middle)

Only using straight lines, without taking the pen off the paper how many times do you have to change the direction you are moving the pen in ?

~Anser = 3 (4 straight parts to the 1 line, 3 turns) how?

"She" would be an "Empress" if you were talking about humans.

The penguins are not Emperors and Empresses, they are simply known as "Emperor Penguins". ;)

You're wrong. Its actually 1 - because if you don't lift the pen off the paper, its technically 1 line :)

Ok heres one for Cmad, but if hes seen it before then plase let someone else answer :P, of course anyone can answer anyway but Cmad is into this kinda think.

What is the problem with the following :...

X = 1
-X = -1

X^2 - X = X^2 -1

X^2 - X = X(X-1)
X^2 - 1 = (X-1)(X+1)

X(X-1) = (X+1)(X-1)
[X(X-1)]/(X-1) = X+1
X = X+1
1 = 1+1
1 = 2
:confused:


cmon you gotta do better than that :P :D

you can't do
Quote:
[X(X-1)]/(X-1) = X+1

cuz X-1 is equal to 0 and you can't divide by 0

how many straight lines are needed to draw through all the dots in a 3 by 3 grid (including a dot in the centre), without taking the pen off the paper


There are 5 apples in a basket I take 2 away,how many apples have I got ?

A plane takes off from paris and flys to Heathrow airport (UK). It has a technical fault and crashes. in the middle of the english channle. Where are the survivors buried ?

David Duck the detective who lives in the USA has an important phone call, he is asked to asisst in an investigation to track down the elusive killer Eric eel in the UK that has got all the local detectives stumped.

He agrees and his flight is arranged for the next day.

He has all his luggage with him and is about to board the flight when Andrew Apple his Assistant comes running up.

"Whatever you do , DO NOT get on the plane !"
"I just had a terrible draem, You got on the plane and some where mid flight the egin explodes in a gigantic ball of flame and every body on the plane dies !"

David ignores him and gets on the plane anyway.

He has a perfectly safe trip and arrives safly in the UK.

On arrival , the first thing he does is phone his office in the USA and sacks Andrew...

A man walks into a bar, and gets a bit drunk with his friends.
He then decides to make a bet (not a good idea when drunk but hey)
"I bet you one pound" he says to his mate
"That I can drink the whole of this"
He points a a pint glass full of beer
"Without touching the glass, or using any other objects or asking other people , to help me"
"Ok then your on" says the friend.
The original man who made the statment picks up the glass and drinks all the beer, hense losing the bet

why ?
