I was already posting like crazy. Then this war started and, well let's just say I was going so fast I missed 1,000. Hell, Jonesy had to point out to me that I just hit 1,500 this morning.... "Where the hell is the contest?"
Just wanted to say I really enjoy it here my fellow BOTL's & SOTL's. I have learned more here in five months than in my entire ten years of smoking cigars. I am much richer of a person for the knowledge and, the friendships I have developed since coming to CP. This place has exceeded my wildest expectations. I imagine what I have experienced is just a drop in the bucket compared to what lies around the corner. Thank you for having me.
So, here are the rules for my first contest here at CP.
First one to answer all of the following Brain Teasers wins.
You may post your answers more than once but, at the rate of once an hour.
Any edits on a post disqualify that post, not the member from trying later.
You must be a member of good standing (my discretion)
Other than that, the contest is open to all.
I will be away from the computer off and on today so, the first correct post in order is the winner.
GOOD LUCK!
1) Mr. Red, Mr. White, and Mr. Blue met at a coffee shop. One man was wearing a red suit, one a white suit, and the other a blue suit. After a short while Mr. White exclaimed, "Why, I just noticed that none of us is dressed in the same color as his own last name." "Really?" remarked the man in the red suit. "So?"
Can you figure out what color suit each man is wearing?
2) What do the following words have in common? (Hint: It's really not that difficult if you chip away at them for awhile.)
Sheath Pirate Ashamed Brandy
3) Mr. Tid purchased two clocks from Gordo's repair shop and set them at the same time. He soon discovered, however, that one clock was two minutes slow per hour and the other was one minute fast per hour. The next time Tid looked, one clock was exactly an hour ahead of the other. How long had it been since he last set the clocks?
4) RamboRitz was about to board a city bus with his newly purchased, five foot long novelty tooth brush. When, the bus driver informed him of a city ordinance prohibiting packages more than four feet tall. RamboRitz only had enough money to take the bus home so, he tried returning the toothbrush-but the store would not take returns. Five minutes later, RamboRitz was on the bus riding home......with the big toothbrush in one piece.
How did he do it?
5)Jonesy was in the "reading room" when he came across a word puzzle in the daily newspaper. After some active thinking, he solved it. Can you? It read, "Which is the odd word out and why?"
Here's the word list:
Brush Taste Shampoo Stench Flush Wash Seat
6) A deaf mute goes into a hardware store. H wants to buy a pencil sharpener, so he walks up to the clerk, sticks a finger in his ear and rotates his other hand around his ear. The next customer is a blind man. How does he let the clerk know h wants a pair of scissors?
7) A man goes to a party and drinks some punch, and then goes home early. Everyone else at the the party who drinks the punch dies of poison. Why didn't the man die?
8) Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice all live in the same house. One night, Bob and Carol go to a movie; when they return, Alice is lying dead on the floor in a puddle of water and glass. It's obvious that Ted killed her but, Ted is never arrested or Punished. How could be?
9) How quickly can you find out what is wrong with this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all. In fact, nothing is but, it is a bit odd. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows?
10) It's a scientific fact that a person eats over an inch of dirt at every meal. How is this possible?
11) If you went to bed at eight o'clock at night and wound your alarm clock to go off at nine the next morning, how much sleep would you get?
12) SaxJazzMan married 48 women. None of them died, he was never divorced, and he was one of the most admired men in town. How come?
13) A man and a woman go to the movies. While there, the man kills the woman and manages to get her out and home without anyone noticing. How is this?
Have fun! :laugh:
