I learned the majority of these in middle school.

...And yet I still manage to screw some of the up. Bah.

1) I went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine o'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being awoken by the alarm?

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.

Well, that's the whole point.. you have to detect the fallacies.

IceCold all of you answers where right except for #3

If you follow KDR's logic you will find that he was on the right track, just picked the wrong color bear.

KDR all of your answers were wrong, regardless of if you know why or not

Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widows sister?

Why didn't anyone get this question right? The answer is No, he's dead. He can't marry anyone.

I got that one, I'm sure plenty of us did. We just don't post about it

Anywho, yeah that alarm clock one fails. I happen to have a wind up clock that CAN distinguish between AM and PM, so YOU SUCK.

1) You have two coins that add up to .35 cents and one of them is not a quarter. What coins do you have?

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.

Not gonna do those because they're all old and I've heard all of them (the last one happens to be my favorite riddle of all time =o)

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

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #83 on:** March 26, 2006, 03:49:08 PM »

Hey, I've got one for you losers:

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

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #84 on:** March 26, 2006, 04:45:21 PM »

I was trying to remember this one all freakin day and yesterday, but couldn't!!! thanx.
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.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #85 on:** March 26, 2006, 04:48:10 PM »

I know it's pretty gay.

But I still won't tell you.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #86 on:** March 26, 2006, 04:53:25 PM »

Isn't it supposed to go

You're stuck in a room with no doors or windows, all you have is a mirror and a table. How do you get out?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #87 on:** March 26, 2006, 05:26:56 PM »

Well yeah, but why can't you just cut the mirror in half? I like that better.

RIDDLE 1: A boy and his father go on a fishing trip to Victor Harbor. On their return they are involved in a terrible car accident. The boy is taken to Flinders Hospital and the father to the Vales Hospital. The boy is immediately taken to surgery where the doctor remarks, "I can't operate on that boy because he is my son!"

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.

I just had a random thought, and it just didn't feel right putting it in the "i am really gonna try hard to be random" thread.

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?

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*

*referring to several new accounts that have popped up over the last week or so

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?

There are these two rather large women at my work, they are on a diet. They avoid things like calories and fat, so they buy "fat-free" products. They particularly like "fat-free" icecream and chips. Someone should tell them that just cause the packaging says "fat-free", it doesn't mean that you can eat it all in one sitting.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #93 on:** July 13, 2006, 06:52:54 PM »

28 days later (depending on how you count)....... I have ressurected the dead [spolier]thread of random thoughts.

Well not so much random and not actually mine, but I'll post them anyway

70% of people who contract herpes get it from their partner when they show no signs of an outbreak

Shouldn't that figure be 100%? Who the hell is going to sleep with someone who has giant sores on their genitals?

Well, I have concocted a theory, but it's a tad inapropriate for typical PGC banter.

Pubic hair is your culprit, and I think it can be transfered orally to genitally and vice versa
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!!!!

Funny, but thats just a joke.
I'm just very paranoid about such things as I've seen friends quite a few friends get it. They won't admit it, but some of them fish out of the same pond and all end up with similar results(pimpleish bumps around the mouth or actually touching the lips).

I fish in out of a very unnconnected pond and try not to share any pond that they have already used thier pole ot.

And I've actually been tryuing to get that saying changed, but S-U-P-E-R keeps ignoring all title change request.
