In case anyone missed it, a problem set by Whim - I do not have a clue as yet.




What is the missing number and why



A girl leaves home in the morning to go to school. At the moment she leaves the house she looks at the clock in the mirror. The clock has no number indication and for this reason the girl makes a mistake in interpreting the time (mirror-image).

Just assuming the clock must be out of order, the girl cycles to school, where she arrives after twenty minutes. At that moment the clock at school shows a time that is two and a half hours later than the time that the girl saw on the clock at home.

At what time did she reach school



I have rivers without water,
Forests without trees,
Mountains without rocks
Towns without houses.

What am I

Welcome back partner, I knew you would get bail.


CLOCK
1:25


I assume the ?'one' is a typo because who starts school at that time.
The difference between the real time and the time of the mirror image is two hours and ten minutes (two and a half hours, minus the twenty minutes of cycling). Therefore the original time on the clock at home that morning, could only have been five minutes past seven: The girl reaches school at five minutes past seven plus twenty minutes of cycling, is twenty-five minutes past seven. (7:25)





Shari and Butterfly were counting their underwear. Shari says to Butterfly, if you give me one piece of your underwear I will have as many pieces as you have...but Butterfly says if you give me one piece then I will have twice as many as you have.

How many pieces does each girl have

A house has two windows in the front. Each window is square, 3 feet high and 3 feet wide. But still one window is twice as large as the other. How is this possible




If you are ambidextrous, what side of a cup is it best to have the handle

[size=8]UNDERWEAR
5 and 7

WINDOWS
the smaller one is oriented to look like a diamond

CUP
same as for the rest of us - the outside[/size]

Mark:

UNDERWEAR
5 and 7

WINDOWS
the smaller one is oriented to look like a diamond


Same as: One was tilted at a 45 degree angle then it would be smaller than the larger window but still the same height and width.



CUP
same as for the rest of us - the outside

The formulae above must be filled with digits 1 2 3 4 5 6. Every digit must (and can) only be used once. If you are a genius give it a go.




A certain 5 letter English word becomes shorter when you add 2 letters to it.

What is this word

Too easy. 1+2=3

14 +25 = 39

Whim

May I respectfully point out to both Ellinas and Whim that:


a) The formulae must be filled with digits 1 2 3 4 5 6.

b) Every digit must (and can) only be used once.



You have not been charged for this reminder.

1^234 + 5 = 6

Tryagian I did. Only I turned the 6 around.

hahaha....

Whim

Change of base:
14 + 25 = 36

Whim, you do make me laugh -


Can you do the same adding a ?'0' (not leading)

Note to Whim; the zero may be turned any way you wish

You didn't tell we have to use all the digits .

43 + 62 = 105

whim

Mark:

1^234 + 5 = 6

(That is the neatest solution of all)

4^3 + 2^1 =65

Change of base:
14 + 25 = 36

(Clever)


Whim:

43 + 62 = 105

(Very clever, and so simple)

1^4560 + 2 = 3

Apologies for my pour Englerish, when I sad, "Every digit must (and can) only be used once" wat I ment waz, "Every digit must (and can) only be used once" excuse mi.

Butterfly, your comments are always most welcome. However, may I point out; nakidd posting is not allowed.
