A Few Logic Problems...
 
1.Twice ten are six of us, six are but three of us. Nine are but four of us. What are we?

2.There are 50 books on a shelf, each book is 2 inches thick. How far is it from page one of volume 1 to the last page of volume 50?

3.Kevin likes the opera but not the ballet. He was a boxer but won't get a bulldog. He will travel to Calorado but not to Alaska. He collects climes but not nickels. Does he like bananes or grapes?

These are possible to solve.

Um, I'm sure that's a trick question, if it wasn't, why are you asking it o_O. Are they out of order or something? or does it go from left to right 50 to 1. If it's the latter, 98, if not, 100.

Omeganitros 01-5-2004 07:03 PM

Brainmaster is correct. 98. Solve the other two.

2020202020206669999 XD.

That's wrong, I know it is.

Omeganitros 01-5-2004 07:08 PM

Oh, crap!

Im sorry dude, but I screwed up!



Brainmaster is INCORRECT!
These are solveable.
Solve all three for three cookies.

1. Letters
2. It really depends since the questions is really vague. If you assume there are multiple volumes per book, then 2 inches (about). If not, anywhere from about 0 (stacked on top of each other 50 and 1 that is) to over 100 if there is space.
3. Yes.

1) is obviously the number of letters in those words
2) id say one shelf
3) niether

Master_of_PARANOiA 01-6-2004 02:21 PM

If twice ten are six of us,
But six are just three,
And nine are just four of us,
Then what can we be?

If you want more of us,
Take ten which is three,
Or twelve which is six of us,
Now do you see?

isnt that the full riddle?

btw... its letters like vxdx said
(twenty is 6 letters, six is 3, nine is 4, ten is 3, and twelve is 6)

id answer the rest but im in school :evil:

o and to keep u guys busy...

An old friend of the family left $999,999 to two fathers and two sons to be split equally.
After careful consideration they each happily recieved $333,333. Why and how was this possible?

BluE_MeaniE 01-6-2004 06:19 PM

He likes grapes in number 3.
It's an alphabetical thing, no?

Freak83 01-6-2004 07:12 PM

ONOS!!! These things are always so obvious once you know the answer but impossible before that... for me at least.

There was a grandfather, a father, and a son. Two fathers, two sons. Easy.

Master_of_PARANOiA 01-6-2004 09:11 PM

lol anticrombie, but its correct nonetheless (i asked my friend at school and hes like a 90 something student, he got it wrong)

Brainmaster07 01-6-2004 09:13 PM

A 90 something student?

Are you talking about percents? You have one very odd school if that's so.

Master_of_PARANOiA 01-6-2004 09:20 PM

on the kids last report card he got like a 89/90 overall average, but thats only cuz he 'does his homework, and doesnt play games in class' (yay for laptops, we pay a $25 dollar repair fee should it break and its ours for the year :p. AND THEY HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS WITH RETARDED TECHNICIANS 'observing' OUR EVERY MOVE. my special school owns urs)

Brainmaster07 01-6-2004 09:22 PM

Yes, you're school is just odd.

Those report cards are whack.

Master_of_PARANOiA 01-6-2004 09:25 PM

lol...
btw im smarter than every kid in my grade, i just dont show it for my mind hast been corrupted by vice city and other violent video games (must ki... think, hold that thought, complete :D)

Brainmaster07 01-6-2004 09:28 PM

My year has a bunch of insane people (Including me)

The class averages are typically around 105% (They were alst year anyway, closer to 95 now because there's no extra credit in adademic classes in our school), everyones in like, atleast 4 extra curicular activities, everyones in band, I mean, like, everyone, and when the teacher says some people got B's on a certain assignment, there are tears :P.

Master_of_PARANOiA 01-6-2004 09:30 PM

and u said MY school was weird, at least were 'special'










'education'

Brainmaster07 01-6-2004 09:33 PM

lol. Hey, it;s us that are weird, not the school. Even though the school can be pretty stupid at times.

Master_of_PARANOiA 01-6-2004 09:37 PM

yes... school can be stupid...





btw i wont have to go to school for the next... 3 years, it 'mysteriously' burned down today (insert maniacal laugh here)
