Re: ☆☆☆☆☆ Challenge ☆☆☆☆☆
I got the first one right, or at least the general idea of it. I don't have a plug in my bathtub, but there's a lever in there which controls whether the water drains or stays in, which is what I thought the answer would be.

☆☆☆ Challenge of the Day ☆☆☆
There were a lot of nice responses from my last post with a couple of challenges. Since a lot of you figured out the answers to the last challenge. Here's a few more.
Note: If a moderator needs to lock the last topic, that's fine. Thanks. A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence. The engineer made his fence in a circle and said it was the most efficient. The physicist made a long line and said that the length was infinite. Then he said that fencing half of the Earth was the best. The mathematician laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others. What did he do? ANSWER Inside each set of the following words, there are a pair of smaller words. By putting & between them, lo & behold, you'll make a familiar phrase. For example, "Thighbone/Swallowtail" conceals "High & Low." 1. Skyrocketing/Trolleyman 2. Thermometer/Apoplexy 3. Delaware/Bordering 4. Surprised/Trashiness 5. Throughout/Stumblebum ANSWER A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of £50 notes out of his wallet. He turns to the rich man and says to him, "I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed." The rich man laughs. The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it." The rich man laughs again and says, "OK, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?" The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich. What song did he sing? HINT ANSWER Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer? One day a scholar came to the court of Emperor Akbar and challenged Birbal to answer his questions and thus prove that he was as clever as people said he was. He asked Birbal: "Would you prefer to answer a hundred easy questions or just a single difficult one?" Both the emperor and Birbal had had a difficult day and were impatient to leave. "Ask me one difficult question," said Birbal. "Well, then tell me," said the man, "which came first into the world, the chicken or the egg?" "The chicken," replied Birbal, very confidently. "How do you know?" asked the scholar, a note of triumph in his voice. What did Birbal answer to this? ANSWER |

Re: ☆☆☆ Challenge of the Day ☆☆☆
Yeah, I'm going to merge this one into that one and see how that works, feel free to either edit your OP or add new riddles into the bottom of the thread as you go, but we don't need one of these as a new thread every time you copy/paste some new things from the internet.
