Silence

Back in business

here's one for you try & co --->


It runs and runs but can never flee.
It is often watched, yet never sees.
When long it brings boredom,
When short it brings fear.
What is it?

Quote Magnum, "Back in business" And how, wow.
?'BUSiness', give us your opinion on the eye colour of the bus driver!

There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers

What was the biggest island in the world before the discovery of Australia by Captain Cook

The more there is the less you see.
What is it

A little Mite :wink:

The first two lines make me think of a blind hamster.
Last two lines make it time though.



Um... none obviously.



Australia is not an island Try' :wink: So the answer would be Greenland.



I've seen this one before but my memory is a bit foggy on the answer.

Oh, and by the way you're all wrong about the bus driver. Blue eyes.....
definitely.

The bus I am used to take the driver has green eyes

The more there is the less you see

Darkness I guess

To what question can you never answer "yes"

Are you asleep :wink:

I am the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
What am I?

the answer is already given in the question.

I am should do it

OK! Here we go; Yes, I know Adrian copied my mite = time.
But that is the same as his, "but my memory is a bit foggy on the answer." Which was his answer, ok, so it was not ?'darkness' but a good alternative. Unlike his, "Australia is not an island so the answer would be Greenland."
I would say, that when Australia was discovered, it was an island because ?'continents' had not been invented. As for, "Oh, and by the way you're all wrong about the bus driver. Blue eyes..... definitely."
Who in their right mind would agree with that statement? BTW is it true that your eyes change color after 12 cans of Fosters?

Back to northern climes and Magnum is A1 right, 100%, but I think not today.

I love this one.
There are no Tricks to the test. Read this sentence:

THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence.
How many are there

Ted invited Beavis and Butthead to his house for a barbeque. Since Ted's barbeque is only capable of handling two hamburgers at once, he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers at once, he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers in the shortest amount of time. It takes five minutes fro each side of a burger to cook. Therefore, in ten minutes two will be cooked, and another ten minutes will be needed to cook the third burger. Butthead says all three can be cooked in just 15 minutes. Is it possible

Absolutely nothing. First class. A1 OK. That was yesterday. Today is another day, and I was feeling lucky. That was until Whim (Wizard in waiting) posted, damn good answers. Although ?'I am' so I have been reliably informed is in fact the shortest sentence.

Quote, "15 minutes total, all three burgers are ready, bon appetit!"

Quote MOU, "cosnidering "F" quesntion I also raed once taht for undersnadtable reaidng it's more then enoguh to spell corretcly just begnining and the end of the wrod to make text compeltely adeuqate for understnading becuase of the way our mnid is fiexd." I love it.

Question: There are equal numbers of chickens and rabbits in a yard, and the total number of their legs is 90. How many chickens and how many rabbits

2x + 4y = 90
x=y
6y=90
y=15
x=15

15 chickens and 15 rabbits.

Please, please, no more PM's complaining about there not being enough information to answer the ?'Bus Drivers eyes' question. I am sorry to have to disagree with you but, the answer is there, as a number of replies have shown. If you seek the answer take a good look at yourself first. :wink:

MOU fresh from his ?'battles' in the Politics section, posts.
2x + 4y = 90
x=y
6y=90
y=15
x=15

15 chickens and 15 rabbits….Which if the chickens will stay still long enough is right. (But only just)

Who said it can't be done?
Five men and five dogs (each man owned a dog) went hiking. They encountered a river that was swift and deep. The only way to cross it was an abandoned boat, left ashore on their side. But it would only hold three living things. Unfortunately, the dogs were edgy and could not be near another person (not even momentarily) unless its owner was present.

One of the dogs attended a highly advanced, highly specialized obedience school and therefore knew how to operate the boat -- the other dogs lack this skill.
How did the five men and the five dogs cross the river?

Let the five men be represented by A, B, C, D, and E. Let the five dogs be represented by a, b, c, d, and e. Let the dog that can operate the boat be dog a.
