Thread: Brainteasers!

maybe saturday is the name of the train he left town on ?

Friday was the name of his horse?

Sorry S-C, I hadn't seen your reply when I posted mine - same idea.

Correct Friday was the name of the horse, the winner may pat hism/herself on the back and look smug for 10 minutes. That was only the easy one though...

all right heres another easy one.....

there is an analogue clock and the time is 3:15.

What is the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand?

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
Im double, Im single,
Im black blue and grey,
Im read from both ends,
And the same either way.

7.5 degrees

well i did say that one was easy but you would be surprised by the number of people who answer 0 degrees to that one lol

heres another old one maybe you know it:-

In the desert there is a large lorry next to a tall building.Inside the building there is nothing except a man hanging from the rafters dead. There is no obvious way for him to have got up there so how did he hang himself?

lorry == truck, right?

I'm not sure, with a rope?

sorry yes a lorry is a truck he is hanging from a rope but how did he get up there.... there are no stairs and it is a high building.

GovtCheez: eye?

S_C:

He used the truck to bring the large ice cube he was standing on when he tied the rope to the rafters. This has now melted in the desert heat and the water evaporated.

Good, adrian...

lol i did say that one was old..... correct adrian well done!

That's actually the answer? That's awful! Is there anyway you could figure that out if you hadn't heard it before? It's like the riddle from Wizard and Glass - "Why did the dead baby cross the road?"

I've been having the same problem - I posted a note about it on the moderators board about 10 minutes ago.

And... stapled to the chickens tail.
