Tickle your brain

[Missy D]

1. You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

2. The man who made it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't use it. The man who uses it doesn't know it. What is it?

3. What occurs one in a minute, twice in a moment but never in a thousand years?

4. You have a barrell, filled to the top with water, which weighs 150kilos. What can you add to the barrell in order for you to make it lighter?

5. A **** lays an egg right at the border between France and Spain. Both countries are arguing who will get it. Who has the right?

These were brain teasers that my daughter was given!

2) a coffin

5) Cocks don't lay eggs. (In SF's Den, you can witness a fuller conversation as to what they do lay!!)

[Icey]

3) m

[LMC]

1. ?

2. a coffin

3. the letter m

4. a hole?

5. cocks don't lay eggs....

EDIT: damn, cross post.

But just got No. 1 - corn on the cob

[Little Monkey]

1 - Could it be a chicken? Throw away the feathers, then cook it, then eat the meat, but throw away the carcass (the inside bits)....?

[CJ]

I was thinking along the chicken/rabbit line but I think LMC has it with corn on the cob...

which reminds me: what do you have if you have a big green ball in ur left hand and another green ball in your right?!?

The undivided attention of the Jolly Green Giant!! ho ho ho...

[LMC]

Oh, if we're on those...

What do you call a small attractive monster?






An utter failure...

1. It's more powerful than God, more evil than the devil; the poor have it, the rich want it, and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?

2. A plumber and an electrician go into B&Q. One of them is the father of the other one's son. How is this possible?

One's a man and the other's a woman.

[Baruch]

Both right. People on here are quick - or maybe you've heard them before?

Had heard the second one before... Just worked out the first one. :shrug:

[CJ]

There are LOADS of these kicking around from the VERY early days: some good ones too if someone has the patience/wherewithall to find them and reconstruct into a post....

Just not me..

Ok maties ready for some more stuff from the schools of North London.

1. I am sitting at a table. Ten flies land on it. With one swat, I kill 3 flies. How many flies left on the table?

2. What belongs to you but is used more by others?

3. Which is the odd one out - Cube, square, cylinder, sphere, Octohedron?

4. Can you find 5 letter word, which, when typed in upper case reads the same upside down?

5. Almost everyone needs it, asks for it, but almost no body takes it. What is it?

[ShinyWeeStar]

None - the others flew away when you swatted.

2. What belongs to you but is used more by others?

Your name.

Still 10, it's just that 3 are now dead?

[Gojive]

3. Which is the odd one out - Cube, square, cylinder, sphere, Octohedron?

I'm guessing it's something like the square is the odd one out, because it's only two dimensional? All the others are solids?

[bigdjiver]

Did the dead flies stick to the table or the swatter?

Are fractional answers allowed?
