[verbal] ammo for 14 year old.... [modified]

1. You're flying a bomber fully loaded with bombs, and the bomb bay doors are open. The bomb mechanism works properly, and you've pressed the bomb eject button but no bombs fall out. Why? 2. You're on an island with two tribes - one answers questions honestly and the other lies all the time. You reach a fork in the road and meet a tribesman. You can only ask him one question - how do you find out which tribe he's from? If you don't want to know the answers, don't look at my reply to this from.

1. You're flying upside down. 2. If I was to ask the person from the other tribe which tribe you were from, what would they say you were. Now - this one's a little tricky, so bear with me: If you ask the liar the question, he will tell you that the person from the other tribe would say he was from the truthful tribe. If you ask the truthful one the question, he will tell you that the person from the other tribe would say that he was a liar. Simply reverse the answers to get the tribe.

- You don't eject bombs 2) Ask if he is a man.

2. Just your luck - the person just happens to think that they were born in the wrong body.;P

okay, I got to meet more of my wife's family, including her niece (I am now uncle Jeff -- strange that). She had about a dozen logic puzzles, which I returned three on her. Time to gear up on ammo.... what are your favorite logic puzzles? Here are the ones I got her with:
1) You are driving a bus in a busy downtown city. When you come to first stop 15 people get on. At the second stop, 9 people get on, 2 people get off. At the third stop 6 people get off, 5 people get on. At the fourth, 4 people get on, 6 people get off. What is the name of the bus driver?2) (an oldie) You are standing in a room with all southern exposure. You see a bear walk by. What is the color of the bear?3) A boat sinks in the middle of the Mississippi river, on which side do you bury the survivors?1) your name, you are the bus driver. 2) white, all wall point south, you are at the north pole, the bear is a polar bear. 3) neither, you do not bury survivors. -- modified at 16:39 Monday 27th August, 2007_________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

First one I worked out - second one is off a kids movie cant remember the name so I knew the answer to that one - both good ones though. A man goes to work every day and gets the elevator to floor 20 then walks 5 flights to his office apart from when it is raining when he goes straight to the 25th floor Why is this? Dan

1 hour. I was the only person in my 1st grade class to figure that out. God that was a long time ago, how do I still remember that..

Another one (although probably not for a 14 year old...) A woman is 21 years older than her daughter. Six years from now she'll be 5 times her daughter's age. How old are the woman and her daughter now? Extra points will be awarded for the accompanying question: Where is the father? (sounds funny, but can really be solved) ;)

Reminds me of the juror who asked the judge to be excused because "My wife is going to have a baby and I want to be there at the conception." The judge said "I think you mean delivery. But whether you are right or I am right I certainly think that you should be there" The father was there with the 20 year, 3 month old mother

You're waiting for your wife to finish dressing for an evening out. She turns to you and says, "Does this dress make me look fat?" How do you respond?

You respond, "No dear, the dress doesn't," then run for your life.

You have three hamburgers to cook and a grill that will only fit two hamburgers at a time. A burger must be cooked for 1 minute on each side to be done. What is the quickest time you can completely cook all three hamburgers?

think my favourite iss still this - just because it's so absurdly easy once you see it: A monk decides to spend a few days praying on a mountian top. So at crack of dawn (about 6 am) he has his cup of tea then starts walking up the meandering path that leads to the top. He rests every now and then, but presses on, and eventually arrives early afternoon sometime. He spends a couple of days up there in deep meditation, then decides it's tea time again, so on the third day, again soon after dawn, he starts off down the same path to the bottom. Obviously it's a quicker going down than up, but still it takes him a few hours, and he arrives back at his monastery late morning. Now the question is: can you prove (or disprove) that there is a point on the path that he occupied at exactly the same time of day on both journeys? .... Fred
