    i was reading the Jokes thread and it inspired me to write this riddle i know
    i liked to know how many of you can work it out


    There is a man and he lives in a ten story building.
    He lives on the tenth floor so he has to take a lift up to his apartment
    If he is in the lift alone he only goes to the 5th floor by elevater and takes the stairs the rest of the way,
    but if he shares the lift with someone he goes the whole way in the elevater

    why doesnt he just take the lift the whole way everytime???:confused:


    Good Luck!

    Funny thing is while our server was down on monday we had an office quiz for an hour and that was one of the questions posed :)


    This was another:

    What is the lowest positive number you can NOT score on a normal dartboard with one dart?
     
  26. TimW

    TimW MajorGeeks Administrator - Jedi Malware Expert Staff Member

    Likely story ....
    Did this one also come up.......
    You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark. You have one match. There is a candle and there is a wood burning stove. Which do you light first?
     
  27. DavidGP

    DavidGP MajorGeeks Forum Administrator - Grand Pooh-Bah Staff Member

    Very true sadly.... we even had picture round :rolleyes:

    Nope, but I know its a trick one, I will have to ponder over caffiene for a while.

    Also trying to think of the others, should still ahve the sheet in the office with other riddles on unless we binned it.

    Must have been a real interesting day at work, Halo.:rolleyes:

    For all the math wiz people:

    Only using the number 2 ...twice, along with any math symbol/funtion/etc ...make an equation that equals 25.

    (Sorry ..will pass on the darts thing ..don't play so have no idea of the board layout, etc.)

    theres a man and hes walking in the desert and he comes across a whole tribe of naked people
    the tribe leader steps forward and say
    "among us are the two most famous people in the desert (Adam & Eve), you must point them out to us before we let you take another step and you must be correct or we will sacrifice you"
    the man looked around determined to get it right and final he points to Adam & Eve and is correct

    God made Adam & Eve, therefore they didn't have navels, as they were not born of woman.

    OK...here's one for you Brooke :) And this is copied word for word from someone else.....I did NOT replace any names, and no names are intended to represent any real people (seriously, you guys ;) )

    While exploring the wilds of Canada, Wild Man Dave was captured by hostile wood fairies. Brad, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could have made?

    And Brooke....you have about 30 minutes before I go to bed lol
     
  50. brksta

    brksta Corporal

    wild dave says "i dont believe in fairies" and all the fairies drop dead


    i hope....gulp....
