Title: A short quiz. How many can you get correctly?
Post by: JuST Peter on March 28, 2013, 09:10:45 PM
(Borrowed from another forum)
Here are the questions:

1. Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child's name?

2. How much dirt is there in a hole that is two feet by three feet by four feet?

3. What word in the English language is always spelled incorrectly?

4. In Alice Springs, you can't take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not?

5. What was the Prime Minister's name in 1975?













Are you writing down your answers?












Answers:

1. Johnny, of course.

2. There is no dirt in a hole, dummy!

3. "Incorrectly".

4. You can't take pictures with a wooden leg. You have to use a camera, idiot.

5. Julia Gillard. Duh.

I took my time, thought very carefully and got through.  Although maybe I've seen it before somewhere.

Here's one for you:

Suppose there is a town with just one male barber; and that every man in the town keeps himself clean-shaven: some by shaving themselves, some by attending the barber.
It seems reasonable to imagine that the barber obeys the following rule: He shaves all and only those men in town who do not shave themselves.

Under this scenario, we can ask the following question: Does the barber shave himself?

What do you think?


Asking this, however, we discover that the situation presented is in fact impossible:


- If the barber does not shave himself, he must abide by the rule and shave himself.
- If he does shave himself, according to the rule he will not shave himself.

Now go take an Asprin and have a quiet lie down.   :grin

Who knows what a Bex is? :grin

A white powdered asprin, phenacetin and codeine dose folded in a small piece of paper and sold in a yellow and blue box.
But then, I'm almost as old as you.   :p

Just did a search on it, and the "codeine" is in fact caffeine.

How odd! When I was in my late teens, our local dentist showed me in his surgery, something else you could do with a packet of Bex.
Roll it into a cylinder (like rolling a smoke), then blow it into a lit match - Instant ball of flame!
Something you wouldn't be likely to see in any dentists' surgery these days
