C'mon, guess. I won't tell you the answer. If you said the word "what", you're correct. I said to guess the word "what". 'Tis a joke.
Today is the Unofficial Non-International Joke/Riddle Day. Notice it's not.
Okay, I'll ask you a series of riddles, and try to guess the answers (don't put them in your reply, the answers will be displayed afterwards. Or do, if you wish. Just put the in a spoiler tag like I did labeled Answers or My Answers first so no one is revealed them). Ya ready? No? Too bad.
Difficulties Logical=Easy Intermediate=Medium Feeble=Hard ___/___=Half-and-Half (like the coffee creamer ) Remember, last will be hardest (for some, at least).
1) What has four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, and three legs at dusk? (Intermediate)
2) John's father had four sons, Tim, Dave, and Kevin, who's the fourth son? (Logical)
3) An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line last will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say? (Intermediate)
4) A group of CSI units are investigating a killing. A family member of the victim says he was last seen going towards an isolated chamber, yet not seen for days. At the chamber, the policemen find the victim's body. The victim has a rope tied around his neck, the other end to a ceiling fan; a puddle of water underneath where the person was hanged to death, and a ladder toppled onto the ground. What kind of killing is this (i.e. homicide or suicide) and how did it happen? (Intermediate)
5) A black man, dressed in black, is crossing a road. He's blind and deaf. A truck is speeding towards him, with its lights turned off. The street lamps are also off and there's no moonlight. When the truck is about to hit the man, the driver hits the brakes and manages to stop just a few centimetres from him. How did the driver see the man? (Logical/Intermediate)
6) Railroad Tracks and Large Running Cars, can you spell that without any 'R's?
Final Question: 7) There is a circular jail with 100 cells numbered 1-100. Each cell has an inmate and the door is locked. One night the jailor gets drunk and starts running around the jail in circles. In his first round he opens each door. In his second round he visits every 2nd door (2,4,6---) and shuts the door. In the 3rd round he visits every 3rd door (3,6,9---) and if the door is shut he opens it, if it is open he shuts it. This continues for 100 rounds (i.e. 4,8,12 ---; 5,10,15 ---; ---; 49,98 etc.) and exhausted the jailor falls down. How many prisoners found their doors open after 100 rounds? (Feeble)
Answers: Open if you want it to be ruined with no calculations for you..

2) John is the fourth son. It's John's father, so it's also Tim's, Dave's, and Kevin's father.
3) Race at equal speed and finish simutaneously.
4) First, it was a suicide. Second, he took a large cube of ice, put a ladder against it, climbed onto the chunk of ice, tied the rope to the ceiling fan, tied the rope around his neck, and stood atop the block of ice until it melted, thus choking him harshly, with the ladder toppling over in the future.
5) He didn't. The truck driver saw the traffic light on, notice the man is CROSSING the road.
6) You can. Oh, but this is a trick question. I'll explain how: I said some nonsense that had nothing to do with anything, and then I asked you if you could spell the word "that" without any 'R's. T-H-A-T.
7) 1. I'm not feeling like explaining..
Try a whip at 'em. C'mon, I dare ya'. You don't wanna? Too bad.
