Post by: georg ruf jr. on November 29, 2007, 10:28:55 AM
Number 1

Complecated famly.
Monika worked as a waitress. She greated a middle aged geust very politly. The head-waiter wanted to know who the person is.
"That's easy", says Monika. " This guests mother is my mothers mother in law"

Okay! That's an easy one to get started off with.

Number 2

Monika is taking a look in her romantic garden. The sun is low and makes her hair glow. The gold fishes make tiny waves that glimmer in the sun. The seeroses look loke porcelan.
"I don't know any plant, that grows as fast as the seeroses. If every plant reproduces itself within a day and it needs a week to cover the pond. How long would two roses take?

If it takes 1 rose 7 days (by reproducing itself every day) ... On the second day you have two roses.  The question was: How many days for two roses. Counting from day two...

Sorry girls. Been busy. You know, the winter is cold here. And that's always the time in which our heating system fails in some way. Now seeing that I'm a real pro ( sh*t! did I write that). Okay! I'm not very good as a handyman, so it takes a while to find out what's brocken and even longer to get it repaired.
I'm sure everybody is going...

Number 3
"So your suite is new?" Paula asked jealously. "And it was cheaper than usual?"
"Yeah sure Mike said. "Four weeks ago they put the price up by 15 %. Now they made them 15% cheaper."
" So the suite costed the same as before." Said Paula.
"No, no!" said Mike. "Cheaper!!!"
Who is right and why?

Hey Paula.
You wanted a neu riddle. Or is it to hard? :looser1:

I hate to say this but Mike is right, it's the only time he is able to be right when used in a riddle..hehe..

He's right because my calculator says so:

100x15%= 115 price increase
115x15%=17.25-115=97.75 (de you go nice and cheap) not like Spar

Number 4

Paula and Michael will spend following weekend in the logcabin. A reunion after Paulas britain trip. (you know why... quickdop )
To get things straightened out the next day again they have to share 4 liter milk evenly. There are only two jars: 1,5l and 2,5 l.
I think they'll need help.
Title: Re: Riddles! Give it a try....

Title: Re: Riddles! Give it a try....
Post by: georg ruf jr. on December 05, 2007, 09:32:36 AM
A small hint on Number 4.

You have to pour the milk from one jug to another until you have 2 liters in two jugs.
It's not easy, I know. It'll keep you busy for a while and you'll have to start over and over again.

take the 2,5lt jug and fill with milk, then pour a quarter of it into the 1,5lt jug and drink then fill the 1,5lt and bob's your uncle, see there you go the 1,5lt jug had 2lt's in it, it's just that 0,5lt was drunk befor it was filled up again which makes it 2lt in total.

why didn't they just drink out the containers the milk came in in the first place  idontknow

Is it the right answere Georg jr??

You're asking questions? I don't know why you and Michael don't drink the milk out of the packagres they're sold in. You got these jugs, not me. Remember? It's your party at the log cabin. Something you should be explaining to Michele.
But no, honey. The answer is wrong. How do you know its a half a liter your pouring out?? Heh??

A woman can alway judge anything when it comes to size wehter it be in LT,ML,M,KM,GR or even inches, so if I said it was half a leter then it was!!!  :emot19: :emot172:

I'd like to dedicate this to Paula and Michael before they die of thurst out there at the logcabin.
From 4l jug to 2,5l jug and from 2,5l into 1,5l => 4l has 1,5l; 2,5l has 1l; 1,5l has 1,5l. Orright, hey?
From 1,5l into 4l and from 2, 5l into 1,5l. => 4l has 3l; 2,5l has 0l; 1,5l has 1l. Goddit Paula?
From 4l into 2,5l and from 2,5l into 1,5l. =>  4l has 0,5; 2,5l has 2,0l; 1,5l has 1,5l.  Catchit, hey?
From 1,5l into 4,0l...   
Yippy!
=> 4l and 2,5l jugs now each have 2,0l.

Number 5

A couple of years back I heard 2 pals talking.
"What's a year in a lifetime? For some people, it's just 365 disapointing experiences all chained up"
"Had a bad day?"
"Nah! Just wondering how fast time goes by. We'll soon have a new millenium. Man has dwelled on earth quite long, but our calender is only about 2000 years old. By the way: It's 1979, okay? What year was it exactly 2000 years ago?"



Paula! If you don't get that one, you're not leaving 2007 for 2008 with us. This'll be you sitting at home waiting for a prince to get you out of the spell. Forget it. There's now prince bothering....  laughpoint

Number 6

After hurting my ancle in volleyball, I decide to row boats. I've always got 4 girls with me. Believe it or not, they're always wearing their jewelry. Wonder what would happen, if the boat sinks.
The other day Dalene, Barb, Diana and Paula joyned in with me.
Dalene was right up front. The girl behind her wore a golden neckless. Diana sat in front of Barb. The girl with the ring sat in front of Paula. The girl directly in front of Diana, wore a pretty bracelett. One of the girls wore - you won't believe it - earclips. Who was it?

Dalene - Bracelet
Diana - Necklace
Barb - Ring
Paula - the Earclips..

But I don't know what I was doing there, cos if you were injured and couldn't row Georg Jr I would certainly not be rowing that's for sure..hahaha..so hope you can row with a injured ankle.  swim

Okay! Bad news.
While Paula was sitting in the boat with her overdimensioned ear-clips they slipped of her ear. They were so *'~[ยง$ heavy, they ripped two big holes in the boat.
No weekend trip. No fishing....


Yes Claire. It was Paula.

Number 7
Santa had a hard time getting all the presents to everybody in time this year. So he's wondering how to improve next time. His tempo depends on the amount of reindeers he uses for the sled.
He always harneses them in a certain patten. there are always 2 reindeers in front of another.
Part 1.) He had 4 rows lastyear. How many reindeer?
Part 2.) He is planing 10 rows this year. How many reindeer?

Hint: The answer is neither Paula nor Diana.
            There are 2 answers to this one.

If you ALWAYS have to have 2 Reindeers INFRONT of another it would go on for ever or form a circle.

Ask Barb. She's understood.
 

Okay oldman. Here we go.


You take a reindeer. Put two in front of him. Makes three. Then you put two in front of the front two. Makes 7. Got it? All you have to do is count from now on. Easy enough? Hihihihi. I think that even Paula will cope now.

Number 8

Number 8 is simular to number 7. Same text, different numbers...

Santa had a hard time getting all the presents to everybody in time this year. So he's wondering how to improve next time. His tempo depends on the amount of reindeers he uses for the sled.
He always harneses them in a certain pattern. He always starts with one reindeer. There are always 3 reindeers in front of one reindeer.
Part 1.) He had 3 rows lastyear. How many reindeer?
Part 2.) He is planing 10 rows this year. How many reindeer?

Hint: There are 2 answers to this one.
