Here is another for all you brain boffins.

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower will win. The brothers, after wandering aimlessly for days, ask a wise man for advice. After hearing the advice they jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city.
What does the wise man say?

To switch camels.

Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call.
What is it?

armaggedon or apocalypse?

There is a town where a quarter of all the people living have unlisted phone numbers. If you select 100 names at random from the town's phone book, on average how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

Hadn't thought of that one fozzie, nice try, but the answer is something else.

Orange Blossom

a deaf elephant
I know that's not it.

I really don't know

I don't know the english expression for it, but it is when you are really releaved when something is solved I think a ton of bricks or something like that.. Sorry for my poor english

Right, like:
The answer hit me like a ton of bricks?

spot on

Orange Blossom,
A hint??!!

Interesting answer: "The answer hit me like a ton of bricks." but no, that's not it.

Hint: The falling substance is natural.

Orange Blossom

Thanks for the hint Still not sure though!
snow?

rain??

I would go for snow tink

Well I was thinking Satellite but it is not natural.

Well I supose you could say a ton of air.

Maybe satellite as in a moon, it's natural.
The sound it would make would be deafening though!

Snow is the answer.

Orange Blossom

So simple, yet so complicated!

Any answers on these ones?

A cow and something running away from the cow falling off the tree!!

a) Nest young cows
A hurdlle of stampeding Bruxelles sprouts

A driver's car had a very flat tire, yet the driver successfully drove the car to the repair shop 50 miles away without damaging anything on the car. How was this possible?

Orange Blossom

The flat tyre was the spare tyre.

Correct!

That was fast.

What has a head but cannot think and runs all day and night but does not tire?

Orange Blossom

Could it be a Shower Head? That's my answer anyway.

Great answer!

Alls I got is river.

I hadn't thought of showerhead DSTM. That's a neat answer. What I had in mind was a river, so tink536, you got that one.

Orange Blossom

Agree with you Orange Blossum,Tink536 is the winner.

You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.

Explain how the tractor got there?

The tractor was driven there on land when the island was a penninsula.

Orange Blossom

No---but good try.

My dad suggests that the tractor got to the island on the wagon which would float.

Orange Blossom

Good answer, but not the one I have.
It would be possible to, as your father said.

When you wan't the answer, just say so.

pray do

The answer I have, is that the Tractor and Wagon was driven across to the Island in winter,when the lake was frozen over.

Heres one.

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

Wasn't too sure about that!


I would say it collapses because the bridge as a whole can hold 14000lbs, and stopping would concentrate the weight all in one area. Add on the bird and I think it would collapse.
