They're playing a card game. Poker, probably. And John cheated because he looked at her hand which he was holding; her hand of cards.

May this be merged?

New Riddle:


Question: Do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky "Lewisville, "Louahvull" or "Louieville"?

-TNC

[Majik1387]

You pronounce it Frankfort.:o

[wiegeabo]

Damn, I forgot all about this thread.


Here's a bunch of easy ones to get the brain teaser juices flowing:

A plane crashes on the border of Canada and the US. Where are the survivors buried?

A rooster lays an egg on the top of a gable roof. Which way does the egg roll?

How many of each animal did Moses take on the ark?

It takes 5 men 10 days to dig a hole. How long does it take 10 men to dig half a hole?

Caught out in a horrible blizzard, you come across an abandoned cabin. Inside the cabin is an oil lamp, a fireplace, and an oil heater. But you only have one match. What do you light first?

1. Well, they're survivors. They'll be buried whenever or wherever.

2. Roosters don't lay eggs.

3. That was Noah, not Moses.

4. A hole is a hole. No half!

5. Light that match babay!

[Shemtov]

The czar of Russia was bothered by a riddle. Too take his mind of of it he went into the feilds and dressed up as a peasent. He passed a peasent who was asking the riddle. Another peasent answered it. he went to the peasent who answered it (whose name was Ivan Kureshky) and said "I am the czar of Russia. I command you not to tell anyone the answer until you have seen my face a hundred times. Otherwise, I'll put you too death!"
He then posed the riddle to his Boyars (russian noblemen) with a promise that the first one to solve it would get 500 rubles . one Boyar went into the feilds and proclaimed "I'll give 25 rubles too whoever knows this riddles answer."
"I do" said Ivan Kureshky
The boyar gave him 25 Rubles but Ivan Kureshky refused too tell.
"the czar said he'll put me too death"
"He'll never know"
"fine. Give me 75 Rubles."
Hesiatently, the Boyar forked over 75 rubles.
The Boyar Rushed too the czar and told the answer. However, a peasent reported Ivan Kureshky too the Czar.
"You are guilty" said the Czar "i will put you too death. Any last words?'
"Yes" said Ivan Kureshky.
He spoke his last words and what he said saved him.
What did he say?

Its an impossible figure. It can be drawn but never made.

[FaT_tONle]

Not really a brain teaser... but I got a good puzzle... a doctor has to treat three patients


"A" "B" "C"


"D" for Doctor


He only has two pairs of gloves. Assuming he has to use both gloves for each patient... how can he treat all three without infecting himself or anyone else? (Hint: Both sides of gloves can be used).

[NewYorkSpider]

I remember discussing this one at work. He puts on both pairs and treats patient "A". He then removes the first pair of gloves so their inside out and sets them to the side. He then treats patient "B" with the other gloves. He then puts on the gloves he treated with paitent "A" and treats patient "C". Is that correct?

[wiegeabo]

He puts the patient A gloves on inside out but otherwise right, I think.

[CashforStash]

you have a tv, a strawberry, and a box of condoms, you had to use one every 5 days to survive.

Which do you choose to survive?

something like he looked at each ruble which would have the czars face on them.

[Shemtov]

YES! he said "i got 100 rubles in total. each one had your fACE ON themi saw your face 100 times"

R. It goes backwords on your keyboard. I just noticed it lol.

[wiegeabo]

Nice catch. :up:

[Danalys]

damn just thought of that. came in thread to post. beaten.

[Danalys]

you have a tv, a strawberry, and a box of condoms, you had to use one every 5 days to survive.

Which do you choose to survive?

the one you were already using. that's if had isn't bad grammer. or you might not even have to make a choice any more since you only had to use it in the past to survive

Yeah I saw it on youtube... it was then turned into an adult joke as well... a dude has only two condoms. Wants to bone three girls consecutively. Replace the gloves with condoms... save the latex... maximize the resources. Good joke indeed.

Titan A.E. ?

[KALEL114]

Titan A.E. ?
Or Remember the Titans?

[Majik1387]

Obviously its something with Titan in it, just don't see what 'Like' could mean

[Danalys]

titanic

like a titan :)

[Majik1387]

Ah, that fits.

[Danalys]

2. The Visual Display of a Lapidarian Monstrosity

this ones totally annoying even after looking up what lapidarian means.

[wiegeabo]

Since lapidarian can involve stone etching, I wonder if it's The Ten Commandments.

[C.F. Kane]

I'll give a hint on the second one: it's almost a word-for-word adaptation of the original title.

And I think I messed up with "lapidarian". "igneous", "sedimentary", or "metamorphic" might have worked better.

[AndThePickles]

My coworker sent me this riddle. I feel like the answer is probably incredibly blatant, but it's evading me!

The following names all share something with a common, everyday household item. What is it?

Nathan
Debbie
Amber
Shawn
James
Ozzy
Jake
Marcus
Alex
Michelle
Frank
Jamie

:huh: hmm..
are they all fabric cleaner brand names?

[AndThePickles]

I have no clue :csad: The only hint my coworker would give is, "it's something that's in this room." Grrr

[Prison Mike]

are they all food name brands?

[AndThePickles]

They share something in common with one every day household item, so I don't think that the brand name thing would make sense.

[Kane52630]

Roommates possibly? if its talking about an "item"

[AndThePickles]

Apparently the answer will be one of those complete "DUH!" moments when I find it out. It's killing me!

[Trainwreck2100]

Apparently the answer will be one of those complete "DUH!" moments when I find it out. It's killing me!
it's not something stupid like "they're tv personalities" is it

Nathan
Debbie
Amber
Shawn
James
Ozzy
Jake
Marcus
Alex
Michelle
Frank
Jamie Well all the names are short for something or have a shorter version so maybe the answer is fridge/refridgerator :huh:...That doesn't make much sense but thats the only thing I can think of and I am dying to know the answer

[AndThePickles]

Marcus and Michelle aren't short for anything, and neither is James, Shawn, etc :csad: Only some of 'em. This is driving me crazy.

[KALEL114]

A calender. The first letter of each name = the first letter in each month.

Debbie-Dec.
Nathan-Nov.
Ozzy-Oct.
Shawn-Sept.
Amber-Aug.
James-July
Jake-June
Marcus-May
Alex-April
Michelle-March
Frank-Feb.
Jamie-Jan.

[Kane52630]

A calender. The first letter of each name = the first letter in each month.

:wow: you are right!

[KALEL114]

That's a cool one. I am going to pass it on to my friends. Pretty tricky.

[AndThePickles]

I'm not sure if that's the correct answer, though. The next hint I was given is that the names themselves don't matter. I was told not to overthink it, because the answer isn't a complicated one. Hmmm.

[KALEL114]

The names don't matter, just the first letters. :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, tricky indeed. The calendar thing makes sense

[KALEL114]

If I'm wrong, I can't wait to see what the right answer is.

[AndThePickles]

Yaaaay, you were right!!!! I would've never guessed that one. I'm impressed :up:

[TNC9852002]

Holy crap, what a bump!

[Manic]

There's a brain teaser thread?

MY MIND IS ALREADY BLOWN!

[KALEL114]

Yaaaay, you were right!!!! I would've never guessed that one. I'm impressed :up:

Yaaay! I'm just glad I could help. I love brain teasers and that was a pretty good. :up:
