- Quag, on 10/12/2007, -6/+104Screw you guys, I was totally fooled.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -24/+117#2 and #4 are both wrong.
2: the wife doesn't actually hold the husband underwater or hang him, she holds a picture of him under water (or rather some other developing liquid) and hangs it. if you took a picture of yourself and held it up. you would not say that you are holding yourself up.
4: it is no long water if you do that. - SonnyW, on 10/12/2007, -6/+92Q9. If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
The correct answer would actually be anything but last, since anyone can overtake the last person in a race if that person is a lap behind. - ishmael5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+79Q7. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it?
Another unusual thing is the question mark at the end of this sentence. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+87They're all dumb plays on words, and they're all overdone. I've seen these all countless times before in several joke & riddle books.
- PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+58
Q6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
This has many answers.
For example:
Christmas eve, christmas day, boxing day. - arduenn, on 10/12/2007, -15/+71Was I suppossed to think it would be 5000? I don't see how. I guess I'm too stupid.
- Dochtuir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44A6: March 2nd, March 3rd ,March 4th
Or anything similar - outbreakofevil, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Wow, blatant advertising.
- ThaCapn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42Q7: Q7. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!
My A7: "I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it?" isn't a question. - rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+45@jerrygofixit,
"maybe you should _do englishs_ at _a_ university"
"doing maths at university" is correct British usage.
Provincial ignoramuses like you make me embarrassed to be an American. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -18/+55I think it's supposed to trick you into carrying into the thousands spot instead of the hundreds spot. But I don't know who would be dumb enough to do that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37"These are ***** retarded. Challenging? Who doesn't know a e i o u?"
heh. you are going to feel like quite a fool when you read the answer. - Anliz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37Being stuck in a room with lion corpses might sound safe, but its probably the worst way to die - assassination > starvation (especially if they are ninjas)
- jonshipman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33I thought the woman hanging her husband was a cannibal.
shrugs - hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -2/+341. What part of "condemned to death" don't you understand.
- thespinner, on 10/12/2007, -14/+45i do maths at university and i still fell for it. granted it's a silly mistake, but the point of the question is to trick you into making it. the fact that the question is even on the list means a lot of people fall for it, so stop acting like it's below you.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33"your a fag."
YOU'RE a fag. - rcran, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28A five minute exposure would be WHITE.
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27@capiCrimm
Your "logic" makes my head hurt. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Which is today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow :)
- Bob042, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27You're supposed to fail at where the 1 moves when you add 90+10, and accidentally carry it to the thousands instead of hundreds. (It looks simple when written out 4090+10=4100, but people get confused from all the thousands being added and make 4090+10=5000).
- Jeremy82465, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20I said January first January second and January third and I didn't really consider it wrong
- Falldog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Yes you can, although you probably won't be using that jug again.
- craaaig, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Why would anyone want to mix water from 2 jugs into one barrel and know where the water came from? I think the 2 jugs would suffice.
- CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Go to hell.
- rypaintD, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21@klaymen
But it IS still water. It has just been changed from liquid form to solid form. It is still water. - behemoth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20In fact, jerrygofixit, I would go so far as to say that "doing maths at University" is correct English usage, what with it being the way, you know, English people say it.
- gfreak49, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18or you're just not in the race
- rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15A personality?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I figured you'd be in first, and you just lapped the last guy ;)
- flubba, on 10/12/2007, -11/+25this is stupid.
my head hasn't been messed with.
reported as inaccurate. - MrStabby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Nobody said she was a good photographer...
- thekidder, on 10/12/2007, -13/+26If the lion was dead from starvation, and it has been dead for three years, you still wouldn't call it a "lion that hasn't eaten for three years". You'd call it a corpse of a lion. The question implies that the lion is still alive - maybe it's being fed intravenously or something crazy like that.
- rgov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I came up with the Christmas Eve / Day / Boxing Day series too... some are clever riddles, some are stupid, but most are too open-ended.
- Hale, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13These are freaking retarded.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Three consecutive days? Does the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd count?
- jsg7, on 10/12/2007, -30/+41Of course it's still water...
- charlesroldan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Is it bad that I got 5000?
...if I'm a sophomore mathematics major?
Ha. I'm hoping it isn't. I haven't added in my head in awhile. I'm good at math, but horrible at arithmetic. - autodata, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Jugs are pretty much defined by the mouth being smaller than the rest. example from answers.com:
A large, often rounded vessel of earthenware, glass, or metal with a small mouth, a handle, and usually a stopper or cap.
Therefore, you can't get the ice out if you freeze it. - catullus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12um, actually, you don't need to know a e i o u to get that question right
- macdaddydwj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9balloon might be considered special equipment
- JoeCool1986, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Spammers on Digg always sign their comments for some reason. It's like they're all in a spamming clan together, it kinda creeps me out.
- torabora, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That question got me by surprise. Dam you Mary!!
- Bamborzled, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14"Q11. Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter? "
Read that question again. Carefully.
And those questions were ridiculously easy. I got most of them right, and I wasn't even trying. - harr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"Look mom, I can do math! 1+1=3!"
No 1+1=2!
3!=1+1+1+1+1+1 - jimfl, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11bury this comment
- jonshipman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Well, the question is actually telling you to do it in your head. Writing it out makes it very easy.
- SeBBBe, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12"Of course it's still water..."
WTF? Dont digg him down. Frozen water _IS_ water... >_> - readme, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14I suck badly at math and got it right by doing it in my head.
