Correct.I'll leave with one last question though: Q11: Shadow approached Sid Shady and said, "I have reason to believe you are the man responsible for the holdup at the 'Salty Dog Tavern' two hours ago. You fit the description given by several witnesses. They described a man who had been drinking heavily before robbing several customers and fleeing the scene." "Of course I'm drunk. I happen to be a professional wine taster and I've been plying my trade for the last five hours." Shadow studied Shady and questioned, "What time is it now?" Shady replied "It happens to be 7:30 p.m." Shadow continued, "Tell me then, what time was it when you started working?" Shady looked at his watch and replied "2:30 p.m." "You're obviously lying," accused Shadow. Why?
If he had been working for five hours he would still be at his work, not where ever he was.

Wasn't that from that old game Mindtrap or something?

He's lying because wine tasters spit the wine out, he wouldn't be drunk.

If you were actually working, then you should know perfectly well what time you start working. Why would you need to look at a watch? Because you made up the 5-hour story on the spot and are bad at simple arithmetic.

This can only be achieved by stacking different pieces of log on top of each other. For example, if you made the 1, 2, 3 and 4 cuts, there would be 5 pieces of log. The 5th cut would require the 5 pieces of log to be stacked on top of each other. Would you consider 'cut 5' one cut or five different cuts because you are cutting 5 different pieces of log? I consider it 5 different cuts, therefore, a total of 9 cuts are required.
You don't need to stack, just hold each piece in place after cut

how about this stacking:
1.

2.
---- | ---- --
3.

4.

Wine tasters don't drink the wine. They spit it out, and thus don't get drunk.
|
Ok just so people don't get side tracked, yes wine testers spit out the wine so they don't get drunk. But yea he's also a retard because of the time thing and doesn't know how long he worked and shit.
Also, the log riddle, I was thinking that also when I first wrote it but, I just wrote what the riddle said.

Q12: Mr. Dodgers was picking peaches for the boys and girls club in his neighborhood. He picked enough peaches to fill a box containing 72 peaches. He weighed the box on a scale and found that the box and the peaches together weigh ten kilos. Mr. Dodgers then decided to pick enough peaches for the kids in the next neighborhood so he added another 32 peaches to the box. On the second weighing, the box and the peaches weighed 13 kilos. Why is this wrong (or is it?)?
|
i dunno, seems ok to me? box weighs 3.25kilo, peach weighs 3/32 kilo
or what
edit: unless its' something silly like he's a racist cuz he picked less peaches for the next neighbourhood
edit2: @ below, even if the box is filled at 72, you can still have a pile thing on top, sticking out pyramid style. given that it's only 45% more peaches, it's plausible that it'd work
|
The box was filled at 72 peaches. He wouldn't have had room for 32 more.

Q13: Buck Shot was on a bear hunting vacation. One day, he left camp and headed south. A half a kilometer along, he saw a bear, but it ran off. Continuing along for another half a kilometer, he spotted the bear again. The bear noticed him and headed east at full speed. Half a kilometer later Buck caught up with the bear, only to realize that he hadn't loaded his gun. The bear realized Buck's intentions and continued to run east. Buck followed, and half a kilometer he caught up with the bear, took aim, shot and missed. Disgusted with himself, Buck walked the one kilometer north to his camp to sulk about his misfortune. What color was the bear?
|
i'd imagine white just because the directions sounds pole-related, but i'm too lazy to work it out
|
I think that there might be something wrong with the description. He travels 1.5k S, .5k E and then 1k N. He would be at the north pole if it was 1,1,1. Also, the fact that the only mention of east is "continued to run east" leads me to beliweve that one of those 0.5S should be 0.5E.
|
i fixed a typo, reread sorry lol.
|
Well, there you go. The bear is white because he has to be at the north pole.

Q14: It was a hot, muggy, day. Shadow was waiting on the lawn when Sid Shady came out of his house wearing a pair of shorts and a wrist watch. "There was a robbery in town about two hours ago," said Shadow. "Apparently, the robber fits your description." Shady laughed as he laid back on the hood of his pickup. "This truck and I just returned from Pine Ridge about ten minutes ago. That is over 500 kilometers away in case you didn't know. YOu can call my cousin I was visiting and he'll verify my story." Shadow looked at his watch and said, "It's 4pm now, what time did you leave Pine Ridge?" Shady glanced at his watch and said, "I guess it must have been about 7am."
"You're obviously lying,"replied Shadow. Why?

This doesn't even work if you conside that for each cut to take a minute, the fifth cut would take longer. My 5 cuts across the diameter (log standing up) would at least make every cut the same distance.
What I don't like about this question is how it does not specify what orientation the log has to be cut.

Because the hood of the pickup would still be warm. I don't really like this question though. In ten minutes, who's to say that the hood of the pickup wouldn't have cooled off? It could have been raining or snowing somewhere along the way. The local temperature could be really cold, and he's leaning back for warmth. And you can't cite the shorts for a reason that it can't be cold outside. He could be going for a run, or he could keep his house warm
