2. short?
3. there is not smoke since the train is electric.
4. all of them

2,3,4 are Correct!!!

[doglover22]

I'm going to guess that #1 is three. Since you had three to begin with and remove two, you still have three total (unless you eat the two). It seemd too easy to say one, so that is my guess.

[freesurfer]

Nope to your guess for #1


1. If you take 2 apples from 3 apples, how many do you have?
5. A woman gave birth to two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year but we not twins. how is this possible?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

New Ones:

A. A black man dressed all in black, wearing a black mask, stands at a crossroads in a totally black-painted town. All of the streetlights in town are broken. There is no moon. A black-painted car without headlights drives straight toward him, but truns in time and doesnt' hit him. How did the driver know to swerve?

B. a man was born in 1964 and died in 1984 at the age of 25. how is this possible?

C. A horse is tied to a 30 foot rope. A haystack lies 40 feet away, but the horse is able to reach and eat it. How is this possible?

D. Forward I'm heavy, backwards I'm not. What am I?

E. What two words have the most letters in it?

#1 You took 2 apples, so you have 2 apples.
#5 She delivered them...she is the nurse/doctor.

[doglover22]

But the question said that the woman gave birth so she could not have been the nurse/doctor. Were the kids born on the same day/time (like the 15th at 2:30 pm), but different months of the same year?

Duh! Number one seems so simple now. Good answer!

[jeskibuff]

B) He was a character in the book "1984"?

[freesurfer]

B and E
1 and 5

Still need answers to those!!

F. If a boy and a half can eat a hot dog and a half in a minute and a half, how long would it take 6 boys to eat 6 hot dogs?

G. How long is the answer to this question?

H. What do you call a man who was born in Columbus, raised in Cincinnati, and died in Chicago?

I. How many outs in an inning?

J. How many birthdays does the average man have?

K. If you had one match and entered a room in which there were a kersosene lamp, an oil burner, and a wood burning stove, which would you light first?

Ok, I'm gonna say for "H" you'd call him a man.

Now let me try one......

Traveling salesman type...

Three traveling salesmen stopped at a motel for the night. Upon getting the room, the desk clerk said it would cost $30.00. So each salesman paid $10.00. Later that night, the desk clerk was doing his books and realized that the room he gave to the salesmen should have only been $25.00. So he gave the bell hop five $1 bills to give back to the salesmen. On the way to the room the B/H was thinking, how do i divide 5 $1 dollar bills three ways. So to make it easy, he took $2 and put it in his shirt pocket. Upon arrival to the room, he gave each man $1 back.
Now...each man had paid $10 and got $1 back. So that means that each paid $9 for the room. OK.....3 times 9 is 27...plus the 2 the B/H put in his pocket.....equals 29..........where's the other dollar?
