A man walking down the street comes upon a viewing at a funeral home. Intrigued, he enters whereupon he finds the funeral director, who states that the man in the casket is recently departed was found dead in a park, and nobody has claimed knows his identity. The director asks the man to peer in side the casket to see if by chance the man knows the decedent.

The man obliges and upon seeing the deceased's face exclaims:

Brothers and Sisters, I have
none!
But this man's father, is my father's
Son!

Who is the man in the casket.

You can tell a riddle, but it can't always be good.

They all have to be good, because nothing can be bad.


Unless it's the riddle that started this thread.

Sure you can have blood.

not in these riddles. Or atleast this is the only blood in the world that can be mistaken for cranberry juice.

My Turn:
On a hot day on a farm, 60% of the animals are chickens. 70% of the animals are laying around, and 30% of the animals laying around are goats. What is the maximum percent of animals on the farm that could be chickens laying around?

oops double post.

Has anyone figured out the barnyard riddle? It's not really a brain teaser. More like an algebra problem I guess.

You are correct, sir! t:


I'm working on your problem. I've done things like that before, but can't remember how to do it.

Well, while the barnyard riddle is still in the air (http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=11999109&postcount=237), I'm gonna post this one too. It's a pretty old one, but some people may not have seen it before:

My Turn #2
Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given a choice of three doors. Behind one door is a million dollars; behind the others, coal. You pick a door (Door #1) and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door (Door #3) — which has coal. He then says to you, "Do you want to choose the other door (Door #2)?"

Here's the question:
Should you switch your choice?

It's better to swap, because door #2 is twice as likely to hold the gold.

Tony is crying.
Gary is laughing.
David is reading.


THEORIES:

2.) One could argue that she was killed by the bloody broomstick... but if so, why is Gary crying over her death?

You said Tony is crying.

Actually, it can't be "twice" as likely. Before you decide to switch, you're at 50/50. Either it's the money or it's not.

Yes and No. Your answer is right but your explanation isn't.

How's this going?:

On a hot day on a farm, 60% of the animals are chickens. 70% of the animals are laying around, and 30% of the animals laying around are goats. What is the maximum percent of animals on the farm that could be chickens laying around?

Don't worry about it anymore. Fugit already gave the solution and in my opinion, it's not worth worrying about.

[Kaboom]

dont switch.

w/e you do dont switch!

your odds went up from 33.333% to 50% upon the host opening one door full of coal.

plus considering he knew what was behind door 1 to begin with, he would have just let you open it rather than trying to get you to change your choice.

Ok, let's assume that no matter who or what opens the other door for you, that after you choose a door, another door is opened, having coal.

Let's pretend that this is an automatic device and that the game show host has no motives into making you lose. Then you'll have to rely solely on probability.

Any guesses for the barnyard question? Wow...Maybe I should just start up a whole new brain teaser thread or somethin'.

You should absolutely switch.

By switching, you're odds of winning rise to 66.6%.

Why? Because when you picked your door, there was a 1/3 chance you were right and a 2/3 chance you were wrong (1/3 each door may hold the million). Since you made your choice before the door was opened, your odds still haven't changed. There is still a 1/3 chance you were right, and 2/3 you were wrong.

This means that the odds the remaining unchosen door has the money is 2/3, while your door only has a 1/3 of having the money.

That's not a bad idea. One brain teaser at a time. Each teaser goes for 24 hours, or until someone gets the answer.
