Unriddle this!

[Mary]

A riddle before the weekend starts. Solve this:

Let's imagine that I give you R.O. 100 (just imagine ok?) and with this money you must buy 100 items only. You must spend all the money exactly, no change, etc. and you must bring back to me exactly 100 items......

Shopping List

Apples (cost per piece = RO 5)
Lemon (cost per piece = RO 1)
Peanuts (cost per bag of 20 pieces = RO 1)

Remember to spend all the money and bring back exactly 100 items

<img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Mary]

LOOOOOL ... too difficult???? <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/anim_headscratch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[phatguy88]

100 peanuts? lol

[Big_Joe]

would 1 bag of peanuts counts as 1 or 20 ?

[TeMaRa]

My guess would be
19 apples worth 95ro
80 pieces of peanuts worth 4ro
1lemon worth 1ro

[Mary]

phatguy, 100 peanuts is 100 items but the cost would be RO 5 and you had to spend ALL the RO 100. Good try! <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Big Joe... 1 bag of peanuts is counted as 20 pcs.

*Mary clapping* well done temara!!!! That is correct. <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Liquid_Dreams]

hey thats not fair i wasnt around for this :S.. give us another one mary <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> please <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

[crazed*out]

75 green apples, 25 lemons i guess

[crazed*out]

oops i see you've already finished this riddle......

[hershey317]

wouldnt 100 lemonz b rite 2?

[Liquid_Dreams]

i'm worried about the prices in Mary's riddle! imagine buying an apple for 5 R.O.. i'd rather starve.

[fisa]

LOL right LD...good observation

[Mary]

ViVeKZonlyCuTeY... 100 lemons = 100 R.O. yes... but you had to buy all items on the list ie, so many apples, so many lemons and so many peanuts...

LD... you are tooooooo funny... ok... so imagine we are living in the year.... hmmmmm,.... 2050+ or something and prices of regular everyday stuff have gone beyond the acceptable mark... ohhhh I don't know... Actually can you imagine buying just fruits or veggies for 100 R.O.???? LOL
I'll find another ridiculous riddle for you guys soon ok??

What if the person actually sess you in a dream asking the asame question at the same time and hence answers YES in his dream which beconmes audible in reality?

"Are you dead?" is more closer to the correct answer.

There are occasions when we do ask such questions from persons who act and behave like they are dead, sometimes.

Calkoon,

Rude? What on earth are you talking about? I didn't even know that Suad was a lady. I am not some kind of pervert. My statement was completely without any double meaning intended at all. You are the one who read something dirty into it which was not there. I don't care that you deleted it but I don't want people to think I am the kind of twisted person who would do that.

Bill

[madoosa_1981]

Nomad ur answer is right..

Giver I have no idea wha u said to make calkoon mad, but try to tone it down a bit....I trust calkoon... and he would n't have deleted it if he didn't think it would hurt my feelings.

[Giver]

suad,



I know he thought he was doing the right thing. It is embarassing though to have that deleted as if I said something perveted or whatever when I had not done any such thing. Once it's deleted no one knows what was said as so they cannot judge for themselves. That's why I posted my objection here rather than sending him a PM. I will send you a PM telling you what I said and you can see for yourself. It is not obscene or untoward in any way. Then if you wish you can send it to Calkoon to confirm this whas all that I said. It is completely innocent. There would be no reason to speak to you in a sexually suggestive way as I didn't even know that you were a lady! Your profile doesn't say one way or another.



<font color="red">Ofcourse your not perverted..! And neither were your rude to Suad. never meant anything of the sort, it just wasn't appropriate. Though you now seem to be compounding the issue... let it go. <!--color-->[/color]

Very good, very good... my challenge now is to go find some really difficult ones that not even Equinox will get right <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[fazli]

how about this one:-

there are 3 guys who are close friends

one is deaf
one is dumb
one is blind

they have three spouses

the dumb guy spotted the deaf guy in bed with the blind mans wife.

how will he convey the message to the blind man?

[Tiger Lily]

Fazli,

You fried my brain!!

[fazli]

LOL
Do I wait for more brain fries or should I shoot the answer?

Actually this question came up to us when we were secondary school boys in the sixties and we never were able to figure out the answer. Neither did the questionetr have an answer.

However, with the advent and development of technology and a little bit of lateral thinkig I did come up with an answer in 2003. (pls take this as a hint to solving the riddle)

[Tiger Lily]

It took you some 30 odd years to figure it out? <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/anim_headscratch.gif" alt="" />

[fazli]

yep,

thats mainly cos I as NOT thinking about the solution for thirty years at all.

it so happened that when the same question popped up in 2003 i sat down and thought about it in the light of todays technology and thinking and I feel I have a decent solution to the problem.

you will be able to see when i have posted it, soon, hopefully!

if you really want to know i can PM you the solution just for your eyes only.

[Tiger Lily]

Oh would you? That would be wonderful <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Equinox]

Mary,

"..not even Equinox will get right "

I may not be so lucky next time around.

[Equinox]

hints?

[fazli]

Hmmm Hints:-

New Technology...
Lateral Thinking...

[Dazeagle]

this one is easy...

he can use a talking program on the PC
the man will type and the PC will read...
just typing, and what he want to say the blind will hear it

[fazli]

Very good thinking, indeed, Dazeagle.

However, the solution I had in mind is as follows:-

The Dumb man (who saw the illicit relationship between the Deaf man and the Blind mans wife) sends an SMS Message using his mobile telephone to the Deaf mans Wife.

Now, imagine what would happen next?

[Dazeagle]

Woooooooo, she’s really going to freak out. Maybe she’ll switch off her mobile for ever <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (just kidding)

come on fazli, tell us what's going to happen?

[fazli]

Well, for starters, her husband, the Deaf man is going to hear about it.

And you can bet my bottom dollar hios friend, the Blind man, will too.

Questions

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms as follows:-

The first is full of ragingfires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.

Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?

5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though.

Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are certainly dead lions.

2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband,
developed it, and hung it up to dry.

3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the ice in the barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which jug.

4. The answer is Charcoal. In Homer Simpson's words:
"hmmmm...Barbecue."

5. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!

6. The letter "e," which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

[phatguy88]

im confused... j/k

[Tiger Lily]

okay, humans have 32 and not 36 teeth

[Mary]

I'm also confused here!

[Tiger Lily]

Mary, it is simple:
A pair of eyes look at the orange.
2 hands = 10 fingers (well actually 8 fingers and 2 thumbs- I am a stickler for details <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )
You eat the orange using your 32 teeth - assuming you have all 32 (not 36)
You have 1 digestive system when the orange is digested.
You have 1 excretory system where it goes through and then you do your business <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
