Still not right.

Beason is close at 40, but is missing one critical fact.

 

[Rolex]

I think it's 42, since the first 2 people got on at zero, not at one minute.

 

[robmob]

Ding ding. You got it.

Here is another one.

There are 10 lit candles sitting on a table. The wind from an open window blows out 2 of them. Checking back a little later, you notice another one has gone out. To make sure no more candles go out, you close the window. Assuming the wind doesn’t blow out any more candles, how many do you have left in the end?

0 a candle wont burn forever

3. The 3 that blew out. The rest have burned out.

Ding ding....Do I win a Buick?

You still get some lovely parting gifts.

Rolex is correct again.

 

[Rolex]

Are there more, or am I sitting on this ferris wheel holding these candles for no apparent reason?

 

[robmob]

You only have one match left.

You want to light a candle, start a fire in the fireplace and light a cigar.

In order to complete the above actions, which should you light first?

 

[Rolex]

The match. Ding ding

Tell him what he's won rob!! C'mon down!

 

[basher21]

the candle.

 

[Rolex]

the candle.

We have some lovely parting gifts for you.

 

[robmob]

The match is correct.

Rolex is on fire.

 

[Rolex]

Candles and matches everywhere, and my propeller is fanning the flames.

Rolex and Cooperdillon have been hired by a farmer to sow flower seeds. They have been assigned a 10 acre plot of land to split in half so they can work independently. Rolex starts from the east and Cooperdillon from the west.

Rolex can plow land at a rate of 20 minute per acre. Cooperdillon take 40 minutes to plow an acre, but sows seeds at 3 times the speed Rolex does.

If sowing seeds on the 10 acre plot pays $100, how much of that money should go to Cooperdillon?

 

[Rolex]

$50.

Ding ding.

The rest of you win a home version of the game "Are you dumber than a box of rocks."

70.00 Dollars

WOW! Did you see the beautiful seed spreader Cooperdillon was using?
