The worlds first riddle!

Have you noticed that a bore is a dude who persists in talking about himself, when all you want to do is talk about yourself!

insolvent?

TTH: You were right with 4567. I accidentally marked it as non-prime.

Well mark if you didn't come up with the first 3 then I wouldn't have come up with the 4th :wink:

The maker does not want it.The buyer does not need it.The user can not see it.What is it?


A professor tells her assistant that she dined with three people last night. She also tells him that the sum of the three people's ages is twice the secretary's own age and that the product of the three people's ages is 2,450. Then, she asks him to tell her the ages of the three people. After a while, the assistant tells the professor that he doesn't have enough information to solve the problem. She agrees and adds that she is older than all three people with whom she dined. The assistant, who knows her age, promptly gives the professor the correct ages. The question is: What are the ages of all five people in this story?


I know you all will blow through these like bubbles - they took me hours... and a little help from logical hubby Well...not the first one - that one I got easy :wink:

Okay fine...hubby had to tell me how to do the second one and then do it to show me...because I sat there reading it over and over again...and it still didn't make sense...you happy?

Hi mismi40
I will just answer the first one then.
....a coffin

Did you try the one I posted?

Hey TTH ...you mean this one?

TWINOHTYHASOTUTK


did you say how many words it was? I have sat and looked at it and taken words out but still not come up with anything...

Oh and you are right!

Yes that one. The only hint I posted is it is less than 6 words. I didn't want to make it easy.

Sheesh.. less than six...okey doke...going to give it another whirl! :wink:

Miss mi; I know you all blow:

That assistant is one smart cookie and 64/2 = 32.
This would make Huey, Dewey and Louie 49, 10, 5.
The Prof somewhere between 49 and 51.




Move one match to balance the equation.

X=VIII-II

does it count to take away the "-" so it is X=VIIIII?

I know you all blow? That isn't very nice is it?

the secretary's age is 64/2 = 32.
the professor is 50, and her dinner guests had ages 49, 10, 5.

You are brilliant Try!

Watch it or his head might explode

TTH asks, "does it count to take away the "-" so it is X=VIIIII?"

That is good thinking…but, VIIIII is not a number! :wink:


Miss mi writes, "I know you all blow? That isn't very nice is it?"

I was only quoting an earlier poster who wrote, "I know you all blow through these like bubbles"


"his head might explode…" BANG!

Well you can't say I didn't try, Try

I would never say; you are not trying!



In our church we use a hymnbook with fewer than a thousand hymns. On Sunday we sing an opening hymn, a psalm, and three more hymns, the numbers being displayed in that order on a board.

Recently, as I sat at the organ I noticed that the five numbers were all different perfect squares in increasing order, and that each digit which did occur, occurred exactly three times.

What was the number of the psalm

Well since you didn't like my first answer, how about this: X-VIII=II ?
