Check these teasers out; have not figured out an easy way to tally these up without everyone else seeing your answers, so just reply here and I will amend this post in a couple of days with the REAL answers and we can see who got what right... :)

1. If a red house is made from red bricks and a yellow house is made from yellow bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?

2.Maggie Mathematical has five sons. One is called Alpha, another is called Beta, the third is called Gamma and the fourth is called Fred. What is the fifth son's name.

3. According to the American Constitution, in order to become President of the United States there are only five pre-requisites. The candidate must:

1. be at least 35 years old.
2. be a citizen of the United States.
3. have resided in the United States for at least 14 years.
4. have been born in the United States

What is the fifth requirement?

4. Why do scuba divers always fall backwards out of the boat?

5. We live in a large tower block, 10 floors high. My 5 year old son goes to school each day using the lift from the 10th floor to the ground floor. However, when he returns in the evening, he uses the lift to get to the 5th floor and then uses the stairs for the remaining 5 floors. Why?

6. What year comes next in this sequence:

1973 1979 1987 1993 1997 1999

Could it be that you must be born in a region that has since signed the constitution?

2002 ?!?

shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Q6... I bet is has something to do with sports...

And I think I have better not guess anything at all when it comes to the American Constitution...

Good quiz!

Ok folks, get all the "Doh's" ready, for here are the answers :)

Great thanks to all who participated, you can all see who got what right, and the sneakiness of this quiz is how it challenges you to look at things in a different manner and change your thought patterns :D

*Drumroll please*

1. Glass

2. What; 'What is the fifth son's name' is a statement - so the fifth son is called What.

3. The person must be elected.

4. Because if they fell forwards they would bang their heads on the inside of the boat.

5. He's only tall enough to reach the 5th floor button.

6. 2003; they are prime numbers.


Thank you all for participating in this quiz, if you liked it perhaps there will be some more coming soon :)

In the meantime, riddle me this:

I have 2 coins in my pocket that add up to 55 cents (U.S. currency, sorry I do not know other currencies, my apologies to our global members). One of the coins is NOT a 50 cent piece. What 2 coins do I have in my pocket? :blink:

I will get some more thinking games while ya'll puzzle that one out ;) :)

/JD

The other one might be a 50 cent piece so I guess 50 and 5 to make it 55. (If theese coins exist in US?).

Of course we like it, give us some more whenever you feel like it!

You said one of them isn't 50 cents, but the other one is 50 cents coin.

A nickel & a 50 cents coin :D

I'm sorry Menace Inc, but you were very slow there... :)

@#$% sticky keyboard LOL :D :D

Its that lateral thinking JacKDynne? isnt? :)

:) Yep - looking at things in a different manner than normally ;)

And you guys are correct, the one coin that is NOT a 50 cent piece is the nickel....the other of course is the 50 cent piece :D

More ticklers on the way, glad you all enjoyed thus far :)

/JD

More test please :D
