RIDDLES FOR YOU TO WORK OUT...


hi everyone. this is a post and every week or so i will add a new riddle. they are quite tricky. this is the same website where the psychopath trick comes from!! i will tell you the website where they come from but please try work out the riddle first.this is the website:

here is this week's riddle:
BRAIN GYM

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying: "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain.

Below is a very private way to gage your loss or non-loss of intelligence. So take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still a MENSA candidate. OK, relax, clear your mind and . . . begin.


1. What do you put in a toaster?


The answer is bread. If you said "toast", then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread", go to question 2.


2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk". What do cows drink?






Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk", please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as "Children's World". If you said, "water" then proceed to question three.





3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?





Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks", what the heck are you still doing here reading these questions? If you said "glass", then go on to question four.





4. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?




Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.


5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?




Answer: One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree", you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.



6. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?



Answer: Oh, for heaven sake! It was YOU, Read the first line!!!

i hope you enjoyed that, post what you thought about it please or anything else you think you should or need to post.=] ok bye!!!

about marissa: I was born in Norwich, Connecticut on June 17th, 1988. My parents are divorced, so I grew up with my Mom and sister in the small, rural town of Franklin. I spent most of my young years playing outside in the woods with my sister. We caught frogs and bugs and made "homes" in the trees. I was fascinated by nature, and was always trying to find out the way things work. This led me to become very interested in science; It was always my favorite subject in school. I entered my first school science fair in 5th grade when I did a project about the plants. I won a blue ribbon in 6th grade when I did an experiment testing which medium a seed will grow best in. I tested a variety of mediums such as popcorn seeds, sunflower seed and different soils. My parents also influenced my interest from a very young age, as they both have large bacgrounds in science. Both my Mom and Dad graduated from the University of Maine as physics majors. My Mom is now a mechanical engineer and my optometrist. In addition, my Grandfather on my Mom's side, Henry O Hooper, is a retired physics professor. He worked on a lot of research in his graduate and undergraduate years. He went on from there to teach and eventually become dean of the University of Maine. He has always been a big influence on my interest in science.! phew thats a mouthfull! found at: http://laser.physics.sunysb.edu/~marissa/bio/:

CHRIST REDEEMER-BRASIL

This is a really good website:

But this is the best website. It has 100 world heritage sites in order from most popular to least and If you just click on whatever site you want it comes up with pictures and sooooooo much information, it answers probably aaaaalllll your questions. If you have any other world heritage sites you want to know about then ask me and I'll see if I can tell you about them or look them up!!!
