posted 06-21-98 12:08 AM ET (US) 反應不理想,所以抽起其中兩題,留給將來再玩﹕ 請把六題答全才登錄(post)答案,否則一律當作答錯。
(13) You have two coins inside your pocket. The total value is 15 cents. One of them is not a 10 cents, while the other is not a 5 cents. What are they? (Only Canadian/US currency be involved in this question... FYI, we have coins of 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents) (14) How many birthdays does an average person have? (15) Two men play five games of chess. Each wins the same number of games but there is no ties. How do you explain this?
(17) A female butcher in a butcher's shop is 180 cm tall. What does she weigh? (18) A male company director is looking for a personal secretary. He narrows down to the last three applicants among the lot that applied. He gives each one a pile of letters to type. Inserted among the letters is a $100 note. Each of the applicants returns with the typing job well done. The first one returns back the $100 note. The second one has the $100 note missing. The third one returns with $150 because while she is typing the letters she invests the money and makes a handsome profit and she returns with the profit as well. Which one of the three should the director employ? |

Don't know 17. meat? 18. 1st one. The 2nd one is careless. The 3rd one is a girl which does not suit a "male" company. I know the answers for the other questions. So I leave them to the others. CC,

posted 07-01-98 7:42 AM ET (US) To Dradow: I have to include that warning message since that is part of the deal with my friend to post "his" questions. (4) Can someone marry a dead person? I doubt it. (9) To be precise: 2 hours + the few seconds to get the pill swallowed.
(14) 75? A person has a birthday every year, if not every four years. I am not asking about birth-date (date of dirth). (15) They are playing, but with some other people. (16) IS IT IN? (17) She weighs meat. OR there is no female butcher. (18) No director will care about 100 bucks... SO... Whoever is the most beautiful, OR with the greatest measures... will get the job. Any comments? |

posted 07-02-98 11:17 AM ET (US) CC﹕ 14) 75﹖If this is the answer, then there is no trick involved, or maybe the trick is that it makes people think that there is a trick. 16) Although I didn't answer this one, but I thought the answer was "IT IS IN." 18) "the greatest measures"? what kind of sexist answer is that?

posted 07-02-98 4:43 PM ET (US) CC: About 16), I forgot that the three words are supposed to mean "small, tiny". So I guess "It is in" is not right, 'cause it would mean "not small, not tiny". OK, that's it for commends on 16). |
