Riddles

[Sasquach991]

If Larry's son is my son's father then what relation am I to Larry?

How much is a third and a half of a third of a dollar?

If the gov is shut down next week, how many hands of poker can I play 6-tabling for 8 hours a day?

[Toadstool]

Larry yo' dad!

[philly and the phanatics]

2. 50cents?

[Penneywize]

father-in-law (you're larry's son's wife) unless I misread.

50 cents

dunno, you'd probably get high and loot shit and be too busy to play much poker.

[wufwugy]

sister. it totally works

[Sasquach991]

For the Larry Riddle...you are a man.

[jyms]

father in law if your a woman or dad if your a man

[BennyLaRue]

The answer to all three questions is 50 Cent.

[surviva316]

1. depends on whether or not we're in the Southeastern US.

2. fiddy cent

3. is the govt being shut down thing supposed to be a red herring? i don't see how it's relevant

[profnabeshin]

You are larrys son
28c
0 hands cause you didn't pay your electric bill

[oskar]

You are Larries Son
27.77c
FR or 6m?

Since all of the above have already been solved (by me) and/or require further information:

What is the smallest straight that can still be the nut straight?

[Sasquach991]

1. You are Larry's son

If you say it in reverse it's much easier. My son's father is Larry's son

2. 50c

3. No shutdown so we'll never know plus I decided to play golf all week instead of poker anyway

[mbiz]

The answer to all three questions is 50 Cent.

haha

How do you get 50c? Can you spell that one out for me, I am missing something somewhere...

(.5 +.333)(.33)

Think 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

[oskar]

Guess the riddle is wether 'a third and a half' means 1/3 + 1/2 or 1/3 + (1/3)/2

[Sasquach991]

a third and a half of a third
1/3 + (1/2)(1/3)=1/3+1/6=1/2

If eggs are 12 cents a dozen, how many eggs can I get for a dollar?

If it takes a day and a half to build a car and a half, how may cars can I build in 7 days?

[jyms]

96 eggs

7 cars

[BennyLaRue]

Guess the riddle is wether 'a third and a half' means 1/3 + 1/2 or 1/3 + (1/3)/2

Depends where the brackets are. The answer could be 288. The point is we don't know.

[Sasquach991]

We do know. It's my riddle so it's 1/3 + (1/2)(1/3)=1/3+1/6=1/2

@ jyms-you got half of 'em right

[Sasquach991]

How much dirt is in a hole 3.5 ft wide, 3.5 ft deep, and 2.5 ft long?

[kmind]

100 eggs but if you have to buy them in a dozen then 96

and no dirt

[rpm]

and no dirt

genius. because it's a hole!

[Shotglass]

The number of eggs depends on the tax rate, but @ zero tax on food it's 96.

No dirt in a hole.

[Monty3038]

Why would you assume you have to buy the eggs in a dozen?

[Roid_Rage]

If fat chicks need love too, do they have to pay?

[kiwiMark]

how many fingers am I holding up

[profnabeshin]

none. your fingers are all on the keyboard typing

Me and 3 friends decide to buy new toaster.

We go to the shop, the toaster selling assistant tells us its $30. We all chip in $10 and leave happily with our purchase.

The manager returns and tells the assistant it should have been $25 and to give us back the $5.

He runs after us, but decides to pocket $2 and give us $1 back each.

Everyones happy...

So we've spent $9 each, assistant has $2.......= $29...........wheres the $1 gone from the $30????

[jyms]

Lol,that's a good one but won't give the answer so others can work it out.

Forget the dollar. Why didn't you get $10 change? YOU GOT RIPPED OFF!

[jyms]

hehe, I missed that too

[BennyLaRue]

Also, where does your career go after Toaster Selling Assistant? I assume Toaster Sales Manager. And then what?

There's so much here...

I was trying to remember this one the other day but I think it was a hotel room not a toaster that I remembered and I did remember it was "me and two friends"

[Hawk]

Yeah, originally its 3 guys at a hotel, charged $30, manager catches that they should have only been charged 25. They give back $1 to each guy and keep 2. Each guy paid $9 (for $27) plus the $2 that was kept looks like $1 missing.

Nothing is missing because the $25 for the room + $3 that was given back + $2 that was kept = $30.

[kiwiMark]

^ someone told me this hotel room problem once not as a riddle but as a genuinely sincere example of how math doesn't always work.

[Penneywize]

haha brilliant.

[kmind]

I understand that there really isn't anything missing but can someone explain it a little more ? As in why the "They give back $1 to each guy and keep 2. Each guy paid $9 (for $27) plus the $2 that was kept looks like $1 missing" can happen? Yessir I suck at math.

im confused... if he ran after us to give us $5 and gives us $1 each, then how does he have $2 to pocket? did he lower the price an extra dollar with his employee discsount?

[Penneywize]

im confused... how do you stay confused when people already talked about the problem you're asking about?

[Imthenewfish]

i've come to the conclusion that there's 36% sales tax or the cashier made a mistake

[profnabeshin]

The room cost $25- bell boy has $2 = 27 total ($9 each person)

the misconception is to add the $2 to the 9ea paid and get 29, when you subtract it because the $2 came from the paid amount

[WillburForce]

me and 2 friends wanted a toaster. Fuck that other guy. Never liked him.

[celtic123]

Toaster world accountancy records

[Monty3038]

Now you had to bring out the friggin graph... you can make anyone believe anything with a graph... even global warming.

[vaks]

this thread seriously hurt my head

[philly and the phanatics]

the toaster/hotel one is bullshit...ive spent hours reading about it on the internet, theres still a missing dollar in my opinion
