There is house whose four walls all face south. A bear walks by the house. What color is the bear and why?\n\nThere are two coins; their total is 35 cents. One is not a quarter. What are the two coins?\n\nThere are 5 apples, and you take away 2. How many apples do you have?

1.  White.  The house is on the North Pole.\n\n2.  A quarter and a dime.  You said one is not a quarter... the OTHER one is.\n\n3.  You have 2, which is how many YOU took away.

In case you want more than just the answer so you can do similar problems on your next test:\n\nQ: What do have to find? \nA: The number of bottles of apple juice (call it A)\nand the number of bottles of orange juice (call it B).\n\nQ: What do you already know about A and B?\nA: You know that together A and B total 12 bottles.\n(A + B = 12)\n\nYou also that you paid $15 for the 12 bottles. You paid $1 for each bottle of apple juice (1xA) and you paid $1.50 for each bottle of orange juice (1.5B)\n\nSo $15 = $1xA + 1.5xB\n\nQ: What next?\n\nA: You have two equations with two unknowns:\n\nA + 1.5 B = 15\nA +     B = 12\n\nSubtract the left hand sides and the right hand sides to get\n      .5B = 3\n\nDivide both sides by .5 to get\n    B = 6\nso  A = 12-6 = 6\nCheck:\n$1x6 + $1.5x6 = $6 + $9 = $15

Three men rent a room for $30.00. ($10.00 each)  When they got to the room there was no heat.  They called the man at the front desk who sent up a $5.00 refund.  They couldn't evenly split the five so they each took a dollar and gave the bellhop a $2.00 tip. Now the three men ended up paying $9.00 each because they all took a dollar back from the five. (9 x 3 = 27) Plus the $2.00 tip to the bellhop. (27 + 2 = 29)  What happened to the last dollar?\nI LIKE THIS ONE TOO !!

Can you please check you haven't made a mistake somewhere? I have just calculated (with 99% certainty) that there are no solutions to those equations with those restrictions.\n\nEdit - OK, I assumed you made exactly one mistake. By removing each possible word and trying to solve it, I discovered that removing 'SIGH' was the only option that gave an answer.\nt 1\nh 8\na 3\nn 7\nk 6\ns 5\ng 9\ni 4\nv 2\nwhere SIGH = 26, not 25. Then THANKSGIVING = 65.\n\nThat was actually a cooler puzzle that the original, assuming you made one mistake :)

That problem is the way you state the question.  They each paid $15 * 3 = $45.  Her returned $5, so the total paid to the store is $40.\n\nNow each got one dollar back, so they paid in $14*3 = $42, and the one boy has the extra $2 which needs to be split.  There is no extra dollar:  $42 - $2 = $40!!

This joke/riddle is so old. The bear is white cause you are at the North pole.

1) What is the probability that either dick or sally will the bull's eye if each one takes a shot?\nThe probability that neither of them hit the shot is\n(1-.90)(1-.95) = (.1)(.05) = .005\nTherefore, the probability that at least one of them hits it is\n1 - .005 = .995\n2) What is the probability that dick and sally will both hit a bulls eye?\n(.90)(.95) = .855

1275 may be the correct answer but not for that reason. i don't agree with the logic in finding the pattern. i have been trying to find the answer for the last 20 mins and will keep trying to find the answer but i want to know two things:\n\ndoes ab represent just the unknown number or is it a two digit number\n\nand are the numbers correct? \n\none more thing, how was this question written i.e. horizontally, vertically?\n\ncheers\n\nthe differences between each number starting from the bottom is \n4, 8, 200, 330 and the differences between those numbers are 4, 192, 132. so i can't get a guesstimate for you other than it should be around 1000 and probably ends in five.

2519.  \nFor every packing situation, if you had one more apple, the total number of apples would be an even multiple.  So you want a number that is one less than a multiple of 10 and is one less than a multiple of 9 and...\nTo find this number, take the LCM of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, which is 2520.  \nThen subtract one.\n\n(I found the LCM by factoring each number: 10 is 5x2, 9 is 3x3, etc.  Then multiply these factors: 2x5x3x3x2x2x7)

N.O is wrong. The right answer is below:\n\n1st-you have to find the area of the plywood:\n   4.5*8.25=37.125 feet squared\n2nd-find the area of the circle he cut out:\n   A=pi*r^2\n   A=3.14*(1.5)^2\n   A=7.069\n3rd-subtract the area of the circle from the plywood's area:\n   A=30.056\n4th-mutiply this leftover area by 1.75 to get the answer:\n   1.75*30.056=$52.60\n\nSo his friend payed $52.60 for the leftover plywood!

1.  The rope isn't tied to anything, so the horse can go freely to anywhere it pleases.\n\n2. The maid because there are no mail's on sunday\n\n3. Fred has 3 cages and 4 canaries.\n\n4. Steve is a juggler. When he came to the bridge he juggled the gold, always keeping one piece in the air. \n\n5. Since all the windows face south, the  house must be at the North Pole and the Bear is White.\n\nThus the bear is a Polar Bear.\n\n6. A River\n\n=)

The men paid $27 (3 x $9).  $2 went to the bellboy and $25 went to the manager for the room.\n\n$27 *minus* $2 = $25\n\nNothing is missing!

There was a fox and a bear talking one night in the middle of the forest. The fox says, "Hey bear what kinds of animals did you eat today?" The bear answers, "I only had a dear and I shared it with my cubs. How about you?" \nThe fox replies, "I had a chicken from old McDonald's farm and sheep earlier today. I am stuffed."\nThe end
