The worlds first riddle!

I'm not going to bother you with amuse-gueules, Try...

ROTFLMAO Tryagain, you crack me up. You are just
plain weird and you still talk funny. :wink:


Now I am really cracking up. I spelled that wrong up there and
had to edit it to spell it right. Now I am laughing harder because
I am even telling you about it. What an idiot. I would turn myself in.

Is he rubbing off on you? Can't you talk right either? I don't understand you.

I'm not easily understandable, I live in a country far away , a world apart, where people use weird words...

Well now I understand you.

Well, it's new to me and so good they posted it twice.


CJ:

16 Candles - Apollo 13 + 6Degrees of Separation = 9 Months

32nd Street + North Dallas40 -5 Easy Pieces = Airport 77

Catch - 22 + Force 10From Navarone = 32Short Films About Glenn Gould

( Ocean's 11+ Plan 9From Outer Space) x Anne of the 1000 Days = 20000 Leagues Under the Sea

3 O'Clock High - The Dirty Dozen = And Then There Were None


Good answers did you make.



Rap, "I can see Jimmy Stewart right now, with the 1 of 1000"

He would have seen the funny side.

Quote, "I own a 97. Well a 1997 97. It's a 44 mag, a bullet not even manufactured until the 50. The original 97 (a 30-30) was a technological miracle. The 73 was black powder, usually 45-70, and that leaves a sh-tpot of smoke. The 97 was smokeless. More practical in a drygulch"


Thanks for the update; should I need any bushwhacking a doin, I will give you a holler!


TTH (Part II)

"Are you trying to get me drunk?"


My first reaction is: Sure if it will sh** *** *** **** up!

However, on second thoughts, it's that or I wear a bag over my head!



Francis, "I'm not going to bother you with amuse-gueules, Try..."


Oh, that fine for you to say, sitting in your fancy apartment off the Boulevard Saint-Michel. But what about me! In a two story walk down (yes, that's the sub-basement) on the lower East side?


TTH: (Part IX)

"You are just plain weird"

How sweet! Coming from you, I take that as a huge complement.


Francis, "I live in a country not easily understandable, a weird world apart, where people use far away words..."


Oh, so you live in Canada then!!!

You guys know I don't ask for much, a coffee to start the day and a good horse, so you can well imagine the look on my shrinks face when I told him about how I my mistakes were being highlighted and my life was turning into a mockery. So he said….



Ok you turkey listen up!

A certain turkey flock has as many turkeys on a given day as the sum of the number of turkeys on the previous two days.

If there were 79 turkeys on April 7th, and 542 turkeys on April 11th, how many turkeys were there on April 18th



That's it! There's no more to be said, kindly move along…





I am

< PERFECT

OMG I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD YOU AND THE ANSWER IS NO

I am less than perfect

15737

april 7 has 79 turkeys, april 8 has x turkeys, so april 11 has 158+3x turkeys = 542 so x=128. then keep adding until the 18th to get 15737

[size=8]too gross for words[/size]

TTH wrote, "OMG I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD YOU AND THE ANSWER IS NO ."

Excuse me, exactly what is the question?



Thoh:

I am < PERFECT = I am less than perfect.

Welcome to the club, I know how you feel.


TURKEY:

15737

april 7 has 79 turkeys, april 8 has x turkeys, so april 11 has 158+3x turkeys = 542 so x=128. then keep adding until the 18th to get 15737



They say you should never work with kid's and animals, guess what I cop both, so try to work with two unknowns, say A = the 5th number and B = the 6th number.

Then A + B = 79.
B + 79 = B + A + B = A + 2B = 8th,
2A +3B = 9th,
3A + 5B = 10th, and
5A + 8B = 11th = 542.

So solving the system {A + B = 79 , 5 A + 8 B = 542}
gives 5 A + 5 B = 395 , 3 B = 147, B = 49 , then A = 30 ;
we get 30, 49, 79, 128, 207, 335, 542, 877, 1419, 2296, 3715, 6011, 9726, 15737.


On the other hand, this problem is simple if you use the Golden Ratio.
542 * phi^7 = 15737 where phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2.


Mark: too gross for words


I think this needs to be placed in context:

288 (144 = one gross) therefore 288 = Two (Too)
WORD (1)
WORD (2)
WORD (3)
WORD (4) =four (for) word(s)

So: too gross for words

Brilliant, just brilliant!




On a certain Riddles thread, Chris and Pat count the visitors and compare notes.

"Hmm, 12/17 of my friends here are women," notes Pat.

"Funny," recounts Chris, "5/7 of my friends are women."

They were both right.


How many people, men and women, were on the thread

What were the genders of Chris and Pat


(Please don't assume I am referring to Thoh and TTH, because in the absence of a full medical report I have no idea, although I do have my suspicions!) :wink:

Try, this is so unfair, I am late again. I can't believe it.


You tell me. It was your question. You don't remember your own question? In that case you asked me out and I said no but
I changed my mind. Girls do that you know. So, when is this date
and maybe I will show up. :wink:


Are you saying thoh is less than perfect? Thoh try is insulting you.


How exactly can you cop kids and animals?
Nevermind, I don't want to know.


WHAT? Are you conceited or what.
(I can honestly say I did not type the above quote. It is called taking other people's words and taking them out of context)

What is wrong with that sentence: Are you conceited or what?
Can you tell?


Well what are they? The below I don't know off the top of my head.
If I have time I will try. You try are kinda fun. I can have all sorts of fun with the word "try" unfortunately, I don't know or get jokes and that belongs in a different forum - humor.

I am nobody
nobody is perfect
therefore, i am perfect

safety in numbers

Now you solved all the riddles, thoh, and what are we going to do now?
Tweedle our thumbs?

Okay, I'll give you something here....

On the picture below you'll see the field of Farmer Egli in Switzerland.
A new IRS officer has visited him and is trying to figure out how much property taxes Farmer Egli needs to pay. Egli told him, that in recent
years he paid 100 SFR (Swiss Franks) for the rectangular area,
200 SFR and 300 SFR for the triangular areas (all in grey).
The property tax is proportional to the area. How much does Egli
need to pay for the blue area?

im too lazy to double check my work...so if i havent made a mistake ill say 1740 SFR

Actually thoh I am real lazy right now and the only one I think I know
is safety in numbers. I am even to lazy to post the question. So, we have something in common- lazy. I am not double checking anything. I still have work to do.

Safety in numbers? That is a joke. I find that funny. What if you are surrounded by alligators and you are in the middle. Would you feel safe? I wouldn't.

haha good point....but the alligators will feel pretty safe

Yeah but what if you were the one in the middle?

Pat & Chris I probably know but don't care.
