Yesterday's answers>
1. At first glance it appears that Tokyo James made a profit of $200, however this is not the case. James made a total profit of $400 since he made $200 profit each time he sold the car.
2. Nine o' clock. Since there are twelve hours between the two times, and half of that time equals six, then the halfway mark would have to be seven o' clock. If it were seven o'clock, two hours ago, the time would now be nine o'clock.
3. The match.
4. Vtecmom was SO shy she never removed her bathing suit .
5. Weigh three and three at the same time. If they balance, the light coin is the one not on the scale. If not, you set aside the heavier three and put one of the lighter three on each side of the scale. Again , if they match, the one left aside is the light coin. If on the second weighing the scales do not balance, you have found the light coin on the lighter side of the scale.
6. The trains were crossing the bridge at different times of the morning.
Good job J!

Todays wonderfull ?'s>
1. A man and a boy who are walking together step out with their right feet first. The boy walks three paces while the man walks two. When will they both put their left feet forward together? Explain.
2. jedwards summoned the waiter and said, " There's a fly in my stew you idiot! I demand a new bowl. Don't try to fool me by removing the fly and returning the same bowl! " The waiter retreated to the kitchen, removed the fly, and returned the same bowl of stew, assuring jedwards that it was a fresh one. Minutes later an outraged jedwards called the waiter over and exclaimed, " How dare you try to fool me! This is the same bowl of stew! " How could jedwards have known?
3. West Side Billy and Mocky were in a plane off the coast of South America at 300 meters altitude. Billy and Mocky were in this situation as a result of a bet. Mocky claimed that if he dropped a five kilogram steel ball from the plane six seconds after Billy dropped a five kilogram sack of feathers, the steel ball would hit the ground first. Which of the two will actually hit the ground first?
4. E ticket Mickey was passing through a small town when he decided to get a haircut. There was only one barber shop in town, and it employed two barbers. One of the barbers had a nice, neatly trimmed head of hair, and the other looked like his hair had been cut with a pair of hedge clippers. Which of the two barbers shoud Mickey choose to cut his hair and why?
5. Karry Queen works on the 35th floor of an office tower. Most mornings Karry will ride the elevator as far as the 25th floor, then climb the stairs to the 35th. On mornings when it's raining, however, he will allways ride the elevator to the 35th floor. Since Karry is neither fond of exersise nor superstitious, what could be the reason for this rather bizarre behaviour?
6. It is impossible for anyone to survive longer than one week without drinking, yet Jack managed a ten day desert crossing without finding water or bringing any along. How was this possible?
Good luck

3) Both (Billy and Mocky) together since they're on the same plane.
4) The one with the bad hair since the other guy must have cut it and likely the guy with the bad hair cut the neatly trimmed guy's hair.
5) Karry is too short to push that 35th floor button.
6) He brought along soda?

2) Because I hadn't eaten any of the stew but when it was returned the spoon on the saucer had stew on it.
