a few teasers to see how the grey matter is working..

1. What occurs once in June, once in July but twice in August?

2. A woodcutter had a cube of oak which never got smaller and was never cut. How can it be that he changed its shape from a cube to a pyramid, and then to a rectangle?

3. A man returned his soup to the restaurant because there was a dead fly floating in it. When the waiter returned with a new bowl of soup, the diner was incensed to find that it was exactly the same soup, simply with the fly removed. How did he know?

4. Dave ran halfway into the forest in half an hour. Steve claimed he had gone two-thirds of the way into the forest in the same time, but Dave said that was impossible. Why ?

5. One morning a petrol station attendant ran into the office the moment his boss arrived, and told him that the previous evening he had dreamt that one of the pumps had been leaking, causing a huge explosion. His boss was sceptical, but when he checked the pump
in question, he indeed found a potentially-disastrous leak. He switched off the pump, and then sacked the attendant. Why ?

6. A carrot, a football scarf and five buttons were found in a field. If nobody placed them there, how did they get there?

PM me your answers.. I'll reveal the answers tomorow or when some one gets them all correct (no prize sorry)

it didn't last long DJDK got them all

1..The letter U.

2."The wood was sawdust which he poured into appropriately shaped containers."

3. "He had seasoned the soup with lots of pepper before seeing the dead fly.

4.You can only run halfway into the forest. After that you're running out of the forest.

5 ."The attendant had been on the night shift, and he should not have been asleep."

6."They are the remains of a snowman after a thaw."

here is another one that we had in a test today:

The queen of spades either tells the truth all day or lies all day, Which of these statements can she never say?

a) Yesturday i told the truth
b) Yesturday i lied
c) Today i will tell the truth
d) Tommorow i will tell the truth



Some of you may get it straight away, i chose the right anwer, then rubbed it out and chose the wrong answer

a) yesterday i told the truth

nope, i dont think i made it clear enough, its not in any pattern weather she lies or tells the truth i.e. she could lie for 4 days on the run then tell the truth 2 days then lie for 1.........

sorry, there were 5 answers:

here is another one that we had in a test today:

a) Yesturday i told the truth
b) Yesturday i lied
c) Today i will tell the truth
d) Today i will lie
e) Tommorow i will tell the truth

d today i will lie

yes, i got that straight away but changed itto tomorrow i will tell the truth because it was the only one that said tomorow

If the queen of spades is lying, and she says today i lie, she is obviously not lying and if she is telling the truth and she says today i lie then she is not telling the truth

nooooo, you left it out first time.... lol. what sort of test wasthis?

it was just to get you thinking hard and confused :P o.j, i didnt mean to miss it out, sorry..... you probably would have got it if it was there ops:
