Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?
Chib knows this one too.
If I say 5, I know it's not the answer...too easy! But 6 is the answer, right?
6 is correct, though I woudn't fancy the taste of the last one !
I know a guy, who knew a guy, who heard of a guy that used to do the same thing with "roaches".
roaches carry lots of diseases. ;-)
'tis why the good lord invented the pipe, maxdad...
why would 6 be the answer?
do you guys mind explaining? cuz i dont
Do you not mind explaining? Or do you not get it?
I said never mind, as in now i get it
I was asking Gouki, not you.
I thought the answer was one at a time.
ok gouki. 25 butts, right? you make 5 cigars. You smoke em, and you got 5 more cigar butts, which you can use to make another cigar.
okay lazy dude, you're talking hindi, what are you trying to say? you make 5 cigars using 25 cigar butts, how come it's 6? i'm s-l-o-w
You can make five cigars from the original 25. After smoking those though, you will have five butts left, able to be made into one final cigar. That makes it six.
ooooooo, now i get it, thanks ppl
So the moral of the story is, never buy cheap Cohibas from a hobo.
Stumble It!
