Riddle
« on: June 25, 2008, 07:11:37 am »
Mice are famous for their ability to multiply at breakneck speeds.
The type of mouse we have here gives birth once a month, birthing
12 babies each time. Baby mice mature and can give birth two months
after they are born.
You picked up one of these darling baby mice at the pet shop and
brought it home the day after it was born. In 10 months from now,
how many mice will you have?

*While we crash and burn, small, low tech, agrarian societies such as the Hmong in the mountains of Laos will continue on without so much as blinking an eye.*

Yes but that's speculation. You also didn't specify gender. So IMO the answer is 1 mouse.

i started to multiply it out.

Good luck...Its is mathematical impossible to do this. You still dont know how many mice of each sex you will have....all you can do is count the best possible number ( 1 male and 11 female mice )

Hmm lets get those brains working. Here's a hard one.
Please don't look it up, or your answer will not count.

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?





97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less. Can you guess the correct answer?

And yes i know the logical and correct answer.

Bingo. Now here's and imaginary cookie. Lol yeah the biggest bluff was that it was actually quite simple. But saying it's hard means people will try to come up with complicated answers. Actually making it hard lol.

Who's up next?
