In terms of videogames, you may have heard it from the game "Demon's Crest", in which the main character is a goblin called "Firebrand" (he first appeared as an enemy in Ghost 'N Goblins, I believe)...But there's no relation between this character and my custom title...

Obviously because money doesn't grow on trees OR in banks. People deposit the money in the banks, so it is just an accumulation. If you wanted to, you could go to a tree, tear out all the leaves and then stick notes of money to act as leaves. That would be a bank..

2) Because the person whom the singer is playing while he sings the song doesn't care. And the song has nothing to do with a person named Jimmy who cracks corn - that's just a nonsense lyric that probably derives from "gimcrack corn", a corn whisky.
3) Because the professor and everyone else on Gilligan's island subconsciously wanted to stay on the island.

----------------------
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms.
The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and
the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
----------------------
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a
wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
----------------------
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it
away?
----------------------
4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
----------------------
5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so
unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In
fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though.
Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work
at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying, "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain, so...
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. So, take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it."
The extra spaces between questions and answers are so you don't see the answers until you have thought up your own.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.
2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as Children's World. If you said "water" then proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," what are you still doing here reading these questions? If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.
4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has the time and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer: One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.
6. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get in. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!

Quoteattempt at explanation: if it moves 1/60th of a degree a minute that would be 1 of 60 degrees every minute and there are 60 degrees in that hour(every degree is a minute). basicaly saying that the hour hand would move 60 times in an hour and only 1 of those 60 happens every minute.

Post by: vudu on February 17, 2006, 08:41:28 AM
I got all the others except #6 because I'm an idiot.
However, the setup for the clock question is also wrong. The hour hand actually moves 1/2 of a degree every minute and a total of 30 degrees every hour. (1/2 degree per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 30 degrees per hour. 30 degrees per hour x 12 hours per revolution = 360 degrees per revolution)

as for the clock question, it stets it self up with the word IF so that it is not wrong.

Below are four (4 ) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer
them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately
. OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are....
Ready? GO!!!
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What
position are you in?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are
absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his
place, you are second!
Try not to screw up next time.
Now answer the second question,
but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong
again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this, are you?
Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30 .
Add another 1000 . Now add 20 . Now add another 1000
Now add 10 . What is the total?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
Today is definitely not your day, is it?
Maybe you'll get the last question right....
Maybe.
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,
4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you Answer Nunu?
NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
Okay, now the bonus round:
A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By
imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is
done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.... Like you!
Now don't be afraid to post our honest answers, its not like anyone is gonna ridicule you and call you stupid or an idiot*

How fast can you start sleeping? And where did you get one of those weird 24 hour analog clocks? Because you said you set it to 9:00 in the morning so that means the clock can distinguish between morning and evening. Though I think some clocks just keep track of that internally while only displaying 12 hours to the outside. Or is it an electromechanical clock with a digital display and a generator driven by the wind-up spring?
3) A man builds a house with four sides of rectangular construction, each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What color is the bear?
Blue because the only one who'd meet someone building a house on a floating ice shelf is captain Bluebear. Do polar bears even go that far north?
5) A rooster lays an egg which rolls down an extended 45-degree incline. How far will the egg roll after thirty seconds?
Pretty far. Unless PETA firebombs the facility because of what you did to the rooster. You said the rooster lays an egg, that means it simply does, regardless of whether that would be possible under normal circumstances.

2) If a plane crashes half way in America and half way in Canada where do you bury the survivors?
3) How much dirt is in a hole 5-feet deep and 3-feet wide?
4) Your in a room and the room has a door and no windows. The door is locked. How do you get out if all you have is a baseball bat?
5) a) What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?
b) What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time, and the beginning of every ending?
6) You die and find yourself in an all white room. In this room there are two closed doors. One door leads you to heavan and the other to hell. There are two spirits in the room with you, one can never lie and the other can never tell the truth. You need to find the door which leads you to heavan. The rules are you are only allowed to ask one question which both spirits will answer. Then you must walk through a door. What question will you ask.

Actually, no, I've never heard number 4, but the answer is obviously hit the fucking door down.

You're in a room. No windows or doors. All you have is a mirror. How do you get out?
I don't think anyone can get this unless they've already heard it, because the answer sucks so much. It's from like second grade
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 26, 2006, 04:45:21 PM
If this was the one I think it is, then it has an impossible answer thats just stupid when you hear it,
partial answer: you look in the mirror and see what you saw, use the saw to blah blah blah blah blah I forget the whole answer, but you'll never solve it without help.

How is this possible?
RIDDLE 2: A man named Phil walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water, the bartender in reply says nothing but pulls out a shotgun and holds it at Phil's head. To which Phil says, "Thanks" and then subsequently leaves the pub.
Why did the bartender do this and why did Phil say thanks?
RIDDLE 3: A US air force pilot is flying over Germany in World War Two when he is shot down. He crash lands but miraculously survives. He decides that he will have to hide out for a while til he can get extracted. He is looking for a suitable hiding place when he sees an approaching German jeep carrying soldiers. He pulls out his pistol and BANG... BANG... BANG! He shots them all in the head. He makes his way to the stalled jeep and removes the cleanest uniform and changes into it, dog tags, weapons and all.
He follows the road into town, in his disguise, whereupon he enters the local tavern to search for information. He walks up to the bartender, who has his back to our man, and says (in perfect German), "Hallo, kann ich ein Bier bitte haben?" The bartender nods and turns around to give the man his beer but instead, upon seeing the man, pulls out his handgun and shoots the man dead!
Why did the bartender shoot him?
(Forgive me if the German wasn't perfect!)
RIDDLE 4: A man is found dead and naked in a field - clutching tightly to a straw; there are no tracks leading to or away from his body but multiple sets of clothes are found strewn about the field.
How did he get there?
(This one benefits from clues and a bit of yes/ no questioning but see how you go.)
ANSWERS:
Riddle 1:The doctor is the boy's mother.
Riddle 2:Phil had hiccups!
Riddle 3:The US soldier was black.
Riddle 4:The man and x friends were in a hot air balloon that was losing altitude. They removed their clothes in a vain effort to lower the weight. Consequently they drew straws to see who would get thrown overboard - our man lost, he got the short straw!

I'd say you'd have to swing the bat three times, but without a ball, pitcher, and referee, that's kind of stupid.

I've actually always hated this one. Even if I did have the hiccups, I wouldn't say "thanks" if someone put a shotgun to my head.

If you have just eaten and now have to fart really really bad, but instead hold it in,
then a minute later you really have to burp, will your breath smell like s#!t?

Strange that I never noticed that at the time. Stranger still that my mother asked me most of these silly trick questions just a couple of days ago (after she found an old list of them that was probably older than me) and then I came to PGC to see this thread pop up again. Clearly the entire universe revolves around me. What else could possibly explain such a coincidence?

Thats why you only sleep with women that almost completely shave off all genital hair. -landing strips are allowed- And never kiss a woman with questionable pimples around her mouth area.
And another little unknown fact. You know how people can get herpes inside their mouth (i.e. cold sores and such), well women can get herpes inside their love tunnel. Women are very sneaky and nasty creatures, and thats why you should never trust one. They lie and they bleed for seven days and live....ALWAYS WEAR A CONDOM!!!!

The e-mail as I recieved it
At the end of this message, you will be asked a question.
Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it.
Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.
This is a fun "test"... AND kind of spooky at the same time!
Give it a try, then e-mail it around (including back to me) and you'll
see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you.
Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2%.
You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the
"test."
Now - just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.
Do not go to the next calculation before you have f! inished
the previous one..
You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do
it using your mind.
You'll be surprised.
Start:
How much is:
15 + 6
3 + 56
89 + 2
12 + 53
75 + 26
25 + 52
63 + 32
I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over..
Come on, one more!
123 + 5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!
Scroll further to the bottom....
A bit more....
You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you?
If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have
a different, if not abnormal, mind.
98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this
exercise.
If you do not believe this, pass it around and you'll see.
Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or
the 2% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to
you.
I'm in the 2% cause my answer wasn't even close.
And I still don't get how this test even works... even though 4 people in my office said "red hammer"
Post by: wandering on August 30, 2006, 08:02:51 PM
If I were to guess, I'd say the secret is in the words, not the numbers....but I'm not sure...
edit: here's an explanation. The test doesn't influence people's answers at all. Interesting stuff.

2. However, the final question still sort of took me by surprise.
3. I saw a plow in my head
4. The word "blue" didn't quite come to me, brown came instead.
5. I couldn't think of the word for a plow, so I thought of a hoe instead.
So my probably tainted answer was "brown hoe".
