The Hourglasses

admin — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

If you have two hourglasses — one four-minute timer and one seven-minute timer, how can you measure nine minutes? Turn over both hourglasses at once.
When the four-minute hourglass runs out, turn it over.
When the seven-minute hourglass runs out, turn it over.
When the four-minute timer runs out this time (eight minutes have elapsed), the seven-minute hourglass has been running for one minute.
Now turn over the seven minute timer back over. When the timer runs out, nine minutes have elapsed.

A Large Truck

admin — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? No, it does not collapse. Because it has driven a half mile – you would subtract the gas used from the total weight of the truck.

Not A Single Word!

admin — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

When Miss Millie purchased her new parrot, the salesman assured her that it would repeat any word it heard. About a week later, Miss Millie returned the parrot complaining it hadn’t uttered a single word.

Given that the salesman had spoken the truth about the parrot’s abilities, why wouldn’t the bird talk? The parrot was DEAF.

Horse Sense

admin — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Bouncing Bob was riding a particularly frisky horse when suddenly its bridle came off. As they raced down the road, a screaming Bob clung to the horse’s ears for dear life. Out of the corner of his eye, Bob saw a car coming, and realizing the horse was completely out of control, he panicked. Flailing his arms about, he accidentally caused the horse to come to an abrupt halt. What could Bouncing Bob have done to make the horse stop? Bob accidentally put his hands over the horse’s eyes. If a horse can’t see he will automatically stop.
