Ahh....I'm not a baseball fanatic. I still think I'm brilliant. :D

[PPHSfan]

If you want ALL of the right answers. Just go back to the FIRST PERSON that answered...that being me, and you will see all of the correct answers.:hand:

[PPHSfan]

NO BBDE I did not miss any of them.

If a doctor gives me three pills and tells me to take one every 30 minutes they will be gone in ONE hour.

Imagine it is 9pm when he gives them to me.

I take one at 9pm.

I take the second one at 9:30 pm.

I take the third pill at 10:00 pm.

How long did it take to take three pills if I took the first one at 9:00 PM and the last one at 10:00 pm?

I did not miss any.

[PPHSfan]

Yall give up on this one?

Here it is again.....

OK my turn. Here is a tougher one that I bet will take someone a minute or two to figure out. Which number comes next in the series if the hint is in this paragraph, and it is the sum of the following quote. "Four score and seven years ago"

I am right PPHS


our fathers brought forth etc. ect.

3 7 7 5

[PPHSfan]

U are on the right track, but you are not reading the whole clue

[Hupernikomen]

ok 87 then. he he

[Hupernikomen]

I have a tendency to make things harder than they should be.

[PPHSfan]

You are getting closer, but you still are missing ONE important clue.

Here is the part you are missing.

"and it is the sum of the following quote"


Think outside the box buddy.

The answer has nothing to do with who said it , or what was said afterward, or when it was said, or what a score is, or how many years followed the score.

Keep trying.

I know you will kick yourself if I have to give it to you.

[Keith7]

I wanna guess!!!

umm i counted the letters in the quote you made.. I have no clue what it has to do with the other numbers u gave though lol

[PPHSfan]

LOL,

If you go back and look at the numbers. Each word in my riddle is represented by the number of letters in each word. And then the clue tells you that the "sum" of the quote is the answer.

When you add the "numbers" of the words or in this case "letters" in the quote....you get 25.

Huper was on the right track, and then you came in and read my hints and got lucky. LOL

"I'd like half the eggs in the basket plus half an egg, please." The clerk fills her order, and the basket is now empty. How many eggs were in the basket to start?

The answer is 7 eggs. The first day the lady takes 4 (3.5 + .5) leaving 3. The next day she takes 2 (1.5 + .5) leaving 1. The last day she takes the 1 (.5 + .5) and the basket is empty.

Three men checked into a hotel room for which they paid $30. The next day, the manager realized that the men had been overcharged. She gave the bellhop $5 to return to the three men. On the way to their room the bellhop decided to keep $2 for himself, and give each of the three men one dollar. The three men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27. This plus the $2 the bellhop kept makes a total of $29. What happened to the other dollar?

[sinton66]

Admit it, you took it, didn't you?
Actually there is no missing dollar.
Original payment of $30 less $5 equals $25 paid by the three. Bellhop kept $2, now $27 paid by the three. One dollar for each of the three equals $30 again.

well back to tarpons question... when deciding which attack would be worse, you have to think about "see u later alligator" and "after while crocodile"... whichever one sounds less threatening is the answer

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!
