Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 All seven are boys, therefore half of them, although it is mathematically impossible, are boys. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ry 71 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 If so, I have a new riddle, and it involves logic. Does the Moslem religion allow a man to marry his widow’s sister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 No because if a woman is a widow, her husband is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ry 71 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Exactly! The exact answer was: A dead man can't marry anyone - no matter what his religion! Your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 not really a riddle, but... "In a country in which people only want boys, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. if they have a girl, they have another child. if they have a boy, they stop. what is the proportion of boys to girls in the country?" (we'll say that the probability that a child is a boy is 50%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I got that one from a list with -supposedly- questions from a Google Job Interview! here's the complete list: 1. How many golf balls can fit in a school bus? 2. You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do? 3. How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle? 4. How would you find out if a machine’s stack grows up or down in memory? 5. Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew. 6. How many times a day does a clock’s hands overlap? 7. You have to get from point A to point B. You don’t know if you can get there. What would you do? 8. Imagine you have a closet full of shirts. It’s very hard to find a shirt. So what can you do to organize your shirts for easy retrieval? 9. Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife. Every wife in the village instantly knows when a man other than her husband has cheated, but does not know when her own husband has. The village has a law that does not allow for adultery. Any wife who can prove that her husband is unfaithful must kill him that very day. The women of the village would never disobey this law. One day, the queen of the village visits and announces that at least one husband has been unfaithful. What happens? 10. In a country in which people only want boys, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. if they have a girl, they have another child. if they have a boy, they stop. what is the proportion of boys to girls in the country? 11. If the probability of observing a car in 30 minutes on a highway is 0.95, what is the probability of observing a car in 10 minutes (assuming constant default probability)? 12. If you look at a clock and the time is 3:15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands? (The answer to this is not zero!) 13. Four people need to cross a rickety rope bridge to get back to their camp at night. Unfortunately, they only have one flashlight and it only has enough light left for seventeen minutes. The bridge is too dangerous to cross without a flashlight, and it’s only strong enough to support two people at any given time. Each of the campers walks at a different speed. One can cross the bridge in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, the third in 5 minutes, and the slow poke takes 10 minutes to cross. How do the campers make it across in 17 minutes? 14. You are at a party with a friend and 10 people are present including you and the friend. your friend makes you a wager that for every person you find that has the same birthday as you, you get $1; for every person he finds that does not have the same birthday as you, he gets $2. would you accept the wager? 15. How many piano tuners are there in the entire world? 16. You have eight balls all of the same size. 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings? 17. You have five pirates, ranked from 5 to 1 in descending order. The top pirate has the right to propose how 100 gold coins should be divided among them. But the others get to vote on his plan, and if fewer than half agree with him, he gets killed. How should he allocate the gold in order to maximize his share but live to enjoy it? (Hint: One pirate ends up with 98 percent of the gold.)
