If your father was a washing machine and your mother was a motorcycle, how many flapjacks would it take to roof the dog house?

 

[table1349]

If a chicken and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

City A and City B are 100 miles apart, connected by two railroad tracks. A train starts out from City A towards City B at 12 noon, traveling 25 MPH. At the same time, a train leaves City B towards City A at 15 MPH. After 10 minutes, the train traveling from City A towards City B slows down to 10 MPH. 5 minutes later, the train going from City B to City A accelerates to 40 MPH. 20 minutes later, the train traveling from City A to City B speeds up to 35 MPH, while the other train continues at it's current speed. 5 minutes later, the train from City A to City B slows to 20 MPH and at the same time, the train from City B to City A speeds up to 50 MPH. 45 minutes after each train has left it's city of origin, they both start traveling at 30 MPH. In due time, the train from City A arrives at City B, and the train from City B arrives at City A. How far apart are City A and City B?

I'm guessing 100 miles.

 

[table1349]

Three men go to stay at a motel and the clerk
charges them $30.00 for the room. They split the cost ten
dollars each. Later the manager tells the clerk that he over-
charged the men and that the actual cost should have been
$25.00. He gives the clerk $5.00 and tells him to give it to the
men. But he decides to cheat them and pockets $2.00. He then
gives each man a dollar. Now each man has paid $9.00 to stay in
the room and 3 X $9.00 = $27.00. The clerk pocketed $2.00.
$27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00. So where is the other $1.00?

The men paid $27 from which the clerk took a $2 tip and the room cost $25

Two men go to stay at the same motel and the clerk
charges them $30.00 for the room. They split the cost fifteen
dollars each. Later the manager tells the clerk that he over-
charged the men and that the actual cost should have been
$25.00. He gives the clerk $5.00 and tells him to give it to the
men. But he decides to cheat them even more and pockets $3.00. He then
gives each man a dollar. Now each man has paid $14.00 to stay in
the room and 2 X $14.00 = $28.00. The clerk pocketed $3.00.
$28.00 + $3.00 = $31.00. Where did the other dollar come from?

Technically an irrational number is 'a real number that cannot be expressed by a ratio of integers' rather than just any big number.
So Advanced Photo is the only one who's answers fit the bill, even if the others are more amusing.
Whilst in maths geek mode just let me add '√(-1) 8 ∑ π'

Was it delicious? Apple or cherry?
As a programmer, I often get Haloween and Christmas confused because oct. 31=dec. 25

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Geeky enough?

I always hear Pi are squared, but they are not. Pi are round!

A commercial airliner is flying from Dallas, TX to Calgary, CA.
The plane crashes straight down onto the Canada/USA border.
Bodies are strewn on both sides of the border. Quite a few bodies are dismembered with body parts on both sides of the border, and for many of the dead the authorities are not able to determine if the dead are Canadian or American.
Where do you bury the survivors?

The question is Who Keeps the Fish

My brother had a friend in high school who would know the answer immediately after he read 1 of these scenarios. Yup he was smart..

 

[table1349]

The author of that question was Albert Einstein and the correct answer was the German keeps the fish.
