The worlds first riddle!

I like that. So, quit being me. :wink:
thoh you are too funny

[size=7]LCM of 7 and 17 is 119
So there are 120 if Pat counts Pat or Chris Counts Chris
12/17*119=84 (Pat) So Pat has 84 female friends
5/7*119=85 (Chris) So Chris has 85 female friends So Chris is male as Chris counts Pat.

There are 120 online, 85 Female, 35 Male. Chris is male and Pat female. [/size]

That's of course correct, thoh. Didn't expect anything else from you!

Damn! I did check my work and still made it 1840

Before I post today's little puzzle, I had better go; ckeck it again!

Thoh:

I am nobody
nobody is perfect
therefore, i am perfect

Well put. That also means you are not the Nobody I lost ten bucks to!

NOMIAL = trinomial


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 safety 9 = safety in numbers

TTH:
"What if you are surrounded by alligators and you are in the middle. Would you feel safe?"

Thoh:
"haha good point....but the alligators will feel pretty safe"

That is thinking from the far side, it is ridiculously funny.

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

Thank you for coming up with great questions, however you must remember these guys are very, very smart, and I fear unless they make a typo will never be bettered.

See what I mean, you can't get a better answer than that!



OK, I think this will work…

Try and Chris are gambling in Atlantic City. When asked to 'put their winnings together,' Try said that the product was "Nine factorial." Chris added that the sum was "Thirty-eight squared."

How much money did each of us win

[size=7]I got one of you won $1120 and the other $328. But I don't know who won the greater amount.

All I know is 38 squared = 1444
I don't understand your question. Are you saying that 9 has to go evenly into whatever each of their winnings are to add up to 1444?

You said earlier that 20 is a score so is this suppose to be scoreboard?
I don't like it.


I am too tired to think anymore. For some stupid reason watering came to mind. Don't ask.

You meant for Farmer Egli?
Here the break down



Rectangle FHDE: Lenght g , Hight h, also g*h =100. Which means the baseline of the triangle HCD ( 200) is 4g . If you name the baseline of the triangle (the vertical left) AGF as x*h, the hight of the triangle ABG (which has baseline 5g) as y*h, then the hight of the triangle FGH as baseline FH (x-y)*h. For the 2 unknown factors x und y is:

?AHF: g*x*h/2 = 300 + g*(x-y)*h/2

Eliminating the 2 equations (g*x*h/2 on both sides) results in (g*h=100): y = 6.

Therefore the area of the triangle ABG = 5g*y*h/2 = 1500.
results in ?ABF: 5g*x*h/2 = 300 + 1500 = 1800, and x = 7.2.

The blue area (volume = volume ?FBC - volume ?FGH) is
1800 - 1.2g*h/2 = 1740.

TTH:
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

One definition of score is twenty. Lincoln referred to an event that took place 87 years before his speech. Try's use of score is not as an arbitrary number of points.

20/7 hrs = 2 6/7 hrs
the solution will be left as an exercize to the grader

The Boston marathon starts in 25 minutes, give me a wave if you see me. Catch ya'll later.

Sorry Try, I'll be watching the game instead. That is IF they manage to play in spite of the weather. Have fun dodging the rain drops though.

Next time I'll take my surfboard and fins. I blame the weather which was…

PAINTERS
20/7 days (D doesn't contribute much)


Let A = days A would take to paint the house himself,
B = days for B alone,
C = days for C alone,
and D = days for D alone.

Then A can do 1/A of the house in a day.
If A, B, and C take 3 days, then the fractions for one day give : (1/A) + (1/B) + (1/C) = 1/3 ;
letting small letters a, b, c, d replace 1/A, 1/B, 1/C, 1/D :
we get the linear system
{a + b + c = 1/3 ,
a + d = 1/6 ;
c + d = 1/8 ;
b + c + d = 1/5}.

The solution is :

a = 3/20 , b = 3/40 , c = 13/120 , d =1/60 ;
so that all four together would paint a + b + c + d = 7/20 of the house in a day; it would take 20 / 7 days which is 2 and 6/7 days.
This is 2 days, 20 hours, 34 minutes and change.

As you folks know things have been pretty tight down at the ranch, which forced me to sell our sheep milk down at the roadside from ten-quart cans. So you can imagine my embarrassment when Mark and Thoh drove up and each asked for two quarts of milk.

One had a five-quart pail and the other had a four-quart pail.
I had only two ten-quart cans, each full of milk.

How did we measure out exactly two quarts of milk, for each

Oh, and what's the smallest number of pourings needed

And does my butt look big in these coveralls




I am very sorry to hear that 22 people, including the suspected gunman, were killed and many others were wounded at a shooting rampage at Virginia Tech university.

Thank you mark

Now you talk normal and I still don't understand you.

Two bad what? You need a drink you say? Here, no farther.........

That should last you awhile

Yep, some people will do anything to hurt a complete stranger
I guess they just don't care.
