ok heres another for those who cheated the previous one or just cant get it (like me)

What letter should be placed in the fourth grouping ?

AME  =   P
RUB  =  R
SAP  =   B
EME  =  ?


Obviously we could all just guess a letter so wanna know why you have chosen that letter

I am going nuts!! I want to solve it!!! NOW!!!!

[kindredspirits]

Yes DDC - he lived on a boat, put out to sea and ran out of drinking water. :thumbsup:

[Daddy Day Care]

I dont know but did you mean to spell out ****? :laughing: :laughing:


Oops too rude that forum wont let it through! Read the first letters of each line though!

lol no didnt notice it spelt that and thats nothing to do with it.....come on girls you can do it

[venus89]

I am going nuts!! I want to solve it!!! NOW!!!!

And me....... :(

[Blackhorse]

I have tried all kinds of ways to get to an answer...nothing yet! :mad:

[Daddy Day Care]

Try and work out what the three leetr words could mean

[venus89]

Try and work out what the three leetr words could mean

are they the initials for something? like 'a mere example = pants'?

[Daddy Day Care]

nope not initials, they are the first 3 letters of a word

for example

rub could be rubbish
sap could be sapling

but there not those :)

Oh and all the words have someting in common

[venus89]

ohh ohh I know what they are!! :clapping: Just not what the equals bit is :(

[venus89]

oh oh oh

Amethyst = purple
ruby = red
sapphire = blue and
emerald = green

And I really should have got that sooner :blush:

[venus89]

woo hoo!

Three students check into a hotel and paid £30 for a room (£10 each). When the hotel manager returned he noticed that the clerk had incorrectly charged then £30instead of £25 for the room. The manager told the clerk to return £5 to the students. The clerk, knowing that the students couldn't share it evenly, decided to keep £2 and only give them £3 back.

The students were very happy because they only paid £27 (£9 each) for the room. However, if they paid £27 andthe clerk kept £2, that adds up to £29. What happened to the other pound?

This is the only one I knew and have been trying to think of since this thread started, will leave it for someone else, very clever!!!!!

:blush: sorry :blush:

[mummyroysof3]

im confused, i thought they paid £25 for room x

[Blackhorse]

well they paid 30 and got 3 £ each back so really they paid only 27 but 2 are kept by the buttler leaving the hotel owner 25....

[venus89]

well they paid 30 and got 3 £ each back so really they paid only 27 but 2 are kept by the buttler leaving the hotel owner 25....

And 27+2=29 - so where's the last pound got to?

[Blackhorse]

im confused, i thought they paid £25 for room x

that's what they should have paid but they never got all their money back

[TheBTeam]

:blush: sorry :blush:

Oh I meant it nicely in that i am glad someone knew the thing, cos it is clever and had my cm group of friends and i working out for a whole morning at group once, and i was fed up with myself that i couldn't remember it after being so fascinated by it!

And it's one of those ones you really kick yourself over when you find out the answer......

[Blackhorse]

And 27+2=29 - so where's the last pound got to?

but there is no other pound

they paid 27 + 5 =32 - £2 for the clerk is 30

[venus89]

but there is no other pound

they paid 27 + 5 =32 - £2 for the clerk is 30

they didn't pay £32.......

What do you say, BTeam? I'm a bit flummoxed.

[TheBTeam]

3 x 10 = £30, £5 to the clerk makes the room cost £25 plus the £2 that the clerk kept = £27, divide £27 by 3 this is what the men paid (3x9)

The men paid 30-3, the clerk had 2, so if you add 30-3-2, makes the hotel owner get £25 for the room.

30 paid
-25 kept by hotel owner
+3 given back to men (30-3 + 9 per man)
+2 kept by the clerk


The room at £25 divided by the 3 men should have cost them £8.33aprx each, but it cost them £9 each (3x9 =27) because the remaing 67p aprx each went to pay the clerk the £2.

Not sure how well i have explained this!:laughing:

[venus89]

Yep... there was no pound..... I wasn't sure about Blackhorses reasoning.....

[Blackhorse]

they paid 30 £ to the hotel

should have been 25 but they dont know that

so when the clerk gives them back 3 £ they only think ...oh we paid 9 pound fo the room...when really they didnt....as they dont know about the things clerk did

25 for the room
3 change back
2 for the clerk

makes 30

[Blackhorse]

it is really hard to explain...let alone to understand to begin with so no worries...:D

it is a really really good one though

Thats the one I thought you just did:eek: :laughing:

[kindredspirits]

is it 8 - i worked it out by looking for patterns of plus 1 minus 1 etc.

[ORKSIE]

8 is in there Kindred or am I being thick:blush:

[ORKSIE]

..............Is it 0

[ORKSIE]

Sorry Kindred I am being thick:blush:

[Daddy Day Care]

Nope not 8 or 0

[ORKSIE]

..............Is it 5 ?

[Daddy Day Care]

..............Is it 5 ?

nope, and u cnat keep guessing every number lol you have to give me a reason why u think its that :P

[ORKSIE]

nope, and u cnat keep guessing every number lol you have to give me a reason why u think its that :P

:laughing: :laughing: :p

[PixiePetal]

6?

Will give my reason if it's right!! :laughing:

[Daddy Day Care]

6?

Will give my reason if it's right!! :laughing:

it could be, depedning on the reason

[PixiePetal]

I will hold tight and let Orksie think a bit more then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[Daddy Day Care]

I will hold tight and let Orksie think a bit more then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

lol does this mean you dont have a reason???

[PixiePetal]

Orksie has been thinking SO hard over the answer :laughing:


Ok, well I got to 6 by looking at numbrs opposite each other on the outside edges (ignored the middle ones) either +1 or -1 in a pattern.

Hard to explain and prob wrong anyway :D :laughing:

[Blackhorse]

I had to stop looking at this sqaure...it made me :angry: coz I couldnt find the number....:laughing: :laughing:

[Daddy Day Care]

Ok its not just orksie who confsued, i am now lol

but no thats not the way :P

So we know the answer is 6 can anyoen tell me why???

I like your thinking and your answer. !! not sure if it is ther correct one but I LIKE IT

[PixiePetal]

I like your thinking and your answer. !! not sure if it is ther correct one but I LIKE IT

I will stick to mine an stop making my eyes go funny - have to get the dinner on now anyway :D

[tinynippers]

Ok its not just orksie who confsued, i am now lol

but no thats not the way :P

So we know the answer is 6 can anyoen tell me why???



i think i know the answer why it is 6 but not v.good at explaining. at the end of each row/column the number is 1 above or below the other end so where the missing 6 is at the end of the row going up is 7 and the one going across is 5 making missing number is 6. if you follow it works for every line/column

good thinknig you 2 but sorry its not the reason

[PixiePetal]

good thinknig you 2 but sorry its not the reason

But that's our reason :D :laughing:

Waiting for Orksies :laughing:

[Daddy Day Care]

pfffttttttt my question so only my reason goes lol :p

[Blackhorse]

so is 6 correct but for the wrong reason or do we need another number altogether?????????????????

[Daddy Day Care]

so is 6 correct but for the wrong reason or do we need another number altogether?????????????????

6 is correct it was just the reason that was wrong, altho ur reason was clever and i liked it just not the reason i have

[ORKSIE]

Ha I'm back and I have no idea:laughing: :laughing:

Apart from...... the answer is 6 because it is:D

[Blackhorse]

The answer is 6 because Gareth said so.

there!!

;)

[Daddy Day Care]

The answer is 6 because Gareth said so.

there!!

;)

lol :clapping: :clapping:

If nobody has it by end of xfactor i shall reveal, I posted it over 24 hours ago think thats long enough

[TheBTeam]

Please reveal cos I thought the same as the others!

[PixiePetal]

The answer is 6 because Gareth said so.

there!!

;)


Actually I said 6 :laughing: :clapping: . But not for Gareths reason :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Daddy Day Care]

6 7 4 3 7
2 5 4 9 1
7 6 5 2 8
4 3 6 7 3
5 8 3 4 ?

Gareth
xx


Ok it is 6 because...................




Every small square adds up to 20, by that i mean if u take a square of four numbers say top left it wud be 2 5 7 6 = 20 top right 9 1 2 8 = 20. Every little square is 20, the bottom right is 7 3 4 ? that comes to 14 so the answer has to be 6.

Not very good at explaining that hope it makes sense

[ORKSIE]

this is another rather easy one

Imagine you are in a room, no doors windows or anything,
how do you get out?

[Blackhorse]

There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

my hubby has just told me a brill one (well i thought it was good anyway)


There was a old man who lived by himself. He felt tired so he went into the bathroom, went to the toilet and then turned the light off before going to bed. The next morning there was a news flash on the radio that a boat crashed. The man opened the window and jumped out. Why?

[TheBTeam]

Had he turned the lighthouse light off?

[Blackhorse]

Had he turned the lighthouse light off?

was going to say this too...but wasnt fast enough!

An archeologist claimed he found some gold coins dated 46 BC. Do you think he really found the coins?

[Twinkles]

The coins wouldn't have been dated BC because they didn't know it was BC.

Oh that doesn't make sense but YKWIM :laughing:

[venus89]

Well, as nobody has posted one for a while, here's another.....

Pirate Captain Fred and his band of scurvy sea dogs were sailing the seven seas, just like normal for a Wednesday afternoon. "Arrghh, there be the smell o' doubloons, lads, I feels it in me bones," exclaimed Fred. Just moments later, actually it was 5 hours, but moments for the sake of the story, there was a cry from the crow's nest. "Ship ahoy, ship ahoy," shouted Pirate Rook. Sure enough the ship came further and further into view. "Arrrrghhhh, that be the scallywag landlubber, Pirate Ecnic. Load them cannon lads, there's gunna' be fireworks," yelled Fred.

The ships came together, and all manner of swashbucklin' ensued. Captain Fred won the day, which surprised everyone, including himself, and the victorious scoundrels looted Ecnic's ship. "Cap'n, Cap'n we gots a map, a treasure map. It say it be the map o' Beigebeard 'imself," roared a few of the crew. "But the final secret I takes to Davy Jones' locker," howled Ecnic, whilst being assisted to disembark, and with that he stepped off the end of the plank.

The crew followed the map's directions and they eventually found themselves in a graveyard, but there the clues ran out. It was a clear night, with a full moon, and the time was about midnight. They searched by candlelight and discovered it was full of Beigebeard's family. There were the graves of Beigebeard himself, his first wife, his second wife, his 9 official children, his 37 unofficial children, his 3 brothers, his 7 sisters and a host of cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. "What is we to do, Cap'n," asked the mangy crew. "Arrrrrrghhhhhh, start diggin', o'er there," bellowed Fred.

Where had Fred told them to dig for the treasure?

[PixiePetal]

At the grave of his first wife ?...........X (ex) marks the spot?

4am?......

[venus89]

I think he's buying door numbers but i thought the second item should have been a two digit number in which case my answer isnt right so i dont know :panic:

That's what I thought too but I couldn't make it work with the three :panic:

[Minstrel]

4am?......

No sorry...........

[tinynippers]

A quickie before I cook dinner....


A man walks into a shop and asks the shopkeeper how much one would cost. The shopkeeper replies "£1.20", so the man asks how much three would cost. The shopkeeper replies "£2.40". The man then asks for one hundred and thirty and hands £3.60 to the shopkeeper. What was he buying?

Ok so for every hour that passed the clock only showed 36mins gone. After 180 'clock' minutes (when it showed 3am) it should actually have been 300 real minutes ie 5am. And if the clock stopped an hour ago it would make it 6am :D

Still trying to get my head around yours minstrel, feeling braindead at the moment.

Since theres none gonig at the moment heres one for ya's

A man walks into a pub and sits down at the bar, and simply orders a water. The bartender looks at the man, and then, quickly pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you," and leaves. Why did they behave this way?

[PRINCESSDAISYFLOWER]

Is it his son?

your right!

[ORKSIE]

I was quite close then with Grandfather:D

[TheBTeam]

your right!

I dont see how it can be because he said it is 'my fathers son', not his son, iyswim, your fathers son would be your brother,

i still think the answer is himself!

[PixiePetal]

Yippeee. It's me :D :laughing:

now need to find something to post - getting a long post now so not sure if this has been done before :rolleyes:

The third is at home with the Father.

sorry i know its not my turn but heres one dont think its already been posted.


There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them (a pear tree) there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.
How come?

[PRINCESSDAISYFLOWER]

if there was only 2 pears and one fell off then there would only be a pear on the tree and a pear or the ground so no pears (plural) i think

[tinynippers]

sorry not the right answer

[nannymcflea]

Could it be the pear tree that used to hang over our fence from next doors so the pears fell into our garden?...yum!

[TheBTeam]

sorry not the right answer

Thought that that was the right answer!!

[PRINCESSDAISYFLOWER]

still think im right!:p

or is it stuck in a big tornado?

[Blackhorse]

did they maybe fall into the pond?

[tinynippers]

did they maybe fall into the pond?



sorry this is the first time been able to get on the forum tonight computer messing about.

this is the correct answer they fell into the pond that was also in the garden, so they didn't land on the ground but in the water. xx

[Blackhorse]

here is another one

the ambassadors chauffeur, Finch, notched up 15951 miles on his mileometer and noticed that this number was palindromic, reading the same backwards as forwards. As surprised as he was to have noticed this fairly rare occurrance , he was even more surprised when after a further 2 hours' drive another palindromic number appeared.

what was Finch's average speed in those 2 hours?

[PRINCESSDAISYFLOWER]

is it 55 mph?

[Minstrel]

55mph

The next palandromic number will be 16061 which is 110 miles after.

[Minstrel]

is it 55 mph?

oh pooped i took ages to type it out!

[Blackhorse]

is it 55 mph?

you are good!!

the next palindromic number is 16061 so the difference is 110 miles which makes an average of 55 mph!!!

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

[Blackhorse]

55mph

The next palandromic number will be 16061 which is 110 miles after.

oh so close!!
well done too!

[PRINCESSDAISYFLOWER]

come on minstral we should both post one now give them a double brain teaser!

[Minstrel]

Ok I have one.

I have holes in my top,bottom, left, right and middle, but i sill hold water?
