sheesh....

 

Grovflab, I may cheat the game, but in this stuff I don't cheat!

Wildfire, I also think German keeps fish.
Below is complete table.
Because of shit AI which transforms TABs into a single space, I had to use dots. So, sorry for lame looks.

Houses (from first left to the most right):
Color-......Yellow.........Blue.........Red.........Green.........White
Nation-.....Norwegian...Dane........British......German......Swede
Pets-.......Cats...........Horses......Birds........Fish..........Dawgs
Drink-.......Water........Tea..........Milk.........Coffee........Beer
Smoke-.....Dunhill........Blend.......Pall Mall....Prince........Blue Master


OK guys, try this one:

l0 l0 l0 = 9:50
Your task is to add ONLY ONE continuous line so that expression above gets valid. It is forbidden to touch symbol "=". And don't ask what those other symbols are - use imagination - they can be anything.

Add a horizontal line on top of the second 1 to make it say 10 to 10

 

Shit! You knew this didn't you?

OK, how 'bout this:

2, 3, 10, 12, 13, 20, 21, ...

What number fits at the end and why?

 

I would say 22, because if you add the numbers like 2+2 it goes like this

2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

So according to this, the number after 22 is supposed to be 23.

You count from 2 to 3 in the ones, then 2, 3, 4 in the tens, 2,3 4, 5 in the twenties....

Oh, by the way, I don't suppose you are a cheater, just merely asking if you knew the answer beforehand.

No, I haven't known that one before.

However, you answered corectly but I don't understand your logic. Never mind, it counts.

But real logic of the lined numbers is that every one begins with letter "t":
(t)wo, (t)hree, (t)en, and so on.

A mother is 21 years older than her child.
In 6 years she will be 5 times older than her child.
Where is the father now?

No fooling, just work it out

 

The child haven't been born yet, so the father is nowhere?

 

How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck would chuck wood?

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Besides, that about as big of a Tease as my Mind is capable of!)

 

Ok folks, the mother of all puzzles.
Well, quite easy if you know it, but an open mind is required to solve it:

Draw the following nine dots on a piece of paper,(it's supposed to form a square). Now, draw four consecutive straight lines, all connected, without lifting your pen and connect all of the dots. The lines must be connected and no back-tracking your lines allowed. Below the puzzle is an example of an incorrect attempt. (The '!' represents a verticle line and the '.' represent spaces to make it look right)

You were close Grovflab, but you have to unchain your imagination

The result = -3/4 years = -9 months.

I think i don't have to tell you where a father is 9 month before his child faces the first light.


Lord M if you number the dots from 1 to 9 from top left to bottom right it would be
1,2,3/6,8/7,4,1/5,9

A man steps out of his hut for hunting bears.
He goes 5 miles south there he discoveres the track
of a bear and follows it 5 miles west and shoots the bear.
Now he carries the bear 5 miles north to his hut.
What colour has the bear?

White - it's a polar bear .

He has to be at the North pole for that to work.
