serene56: Two women apply for a job. They are identical and have the same mother, father and birthday. The interviewer asks, "Are you twins?" to which they honestly reply, "No".

How is this possible?

Obscuritan: Hi Faithe, Re the pearls, I got a different answer, $3000. How do you justify $2750?
(I'm originally from Portland - is it still cold and windy?)


I knew l was wrong after l put that answer laugh just never bothered changing it. Yes its still windy and cold, it was fair blowing a gale here Friday and it rained for about 24 hours straight. So yes its still cold and windy.

daggyone: it should be B.


That's what I thought too but it's actually A, because B isn't a possible triangle; it's a traight line.... think about it 3+4 = 7professor

One man had a weight of 40 kg. He accidentally dropped it and it break it in to four pieces. However with these four pieces he can weigh any weight from 1 to 40 kg ( only integers ie 1, 2, 3, 4....... 39, 40). What are the four weights?

No that couldn't work daggyone because all the weights have to add up to 40kg. They are all pieces of the original.
Hmmmm tricky one.... wow

Sum = 40kg. Indivually, 3, 7, 13 & 17 = 40cheering
