I dont get it. What makes it Chicago? (i'm half polish, and i live an hour and a half from chicago..) Unless that's just a random fact or something.

It was just a fact.

And to answer Doughnut it's a :. Like a clock 5:60 = 6:00. You could also do 56^0 = 6^00 since they both would equal 0.

I still think it is Figaro's turn however.

Actually they'd both be equal to 1.

Whoops your right.

And to answer my question, it's a leaf. I'll give the next question to Del since he made me laugh.

okay, heres one, and its the best i can do with this cold attacking both my brain cells: Two soccer teams compete in the Scottish cup final, Celtic and St. Mirren. The score is Celtic 0 St. Mirren 1 at full time. But St. Mirren never scored. Why?

Celtic scored on themselves? I'm know next to nothing on Soccer, I'm guessing full-time is when the game is over?

Why a leaf? I don't get it.

Why a leaf? I don't get it.

Have you ever crushed on a green, living leaf? Doesn't make any sound, does it?



Now, take a dead leaf and crush it, and see if it makes any sound

A firefighter stood on the middle rung of a ladder, spraying water on a burning house. He then climbed up 6 rungs before the heat of the flames caused him to come down 10 rungs. After some minutes he was able to climb 18 rungs to the very top of the ladder. How many rungs did the ladder have?

A deaf lady was tricked by a conman. She was told that he could make her hear if she bought a single letter (a,b,c...not the ones you send people) from him. She agreed....what letter did she buy?

I have hints availble if needed.

Incorrect.

h for good luck on getting that hearing

...tough one, i'm not sure about the answer though

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

The lady's deaf, she cant hear anything...DUH?!

The conman could have communicated using a different means, such as written language or sign language.

Oh, and Cloud_Strife510? You are wrong too.

She couldve bought any SINGLE letter from him, unless that wasnt specified.

Wait, you cant technically BUY a letter from someone, can you?

This post has been edited by Calculator on 18th January 2004 02:32

Don't get dragged down in the technicalities. And yes, a single letter. No more, no less.

It was W -- "double U"

Im positive im correct

Sorry, you aren't. I don't understand how W or two Us could make her hear.

Say the letter W...Now what's that sound like? It sounds like "double U", as in two U's. Now, if the conman tricked her into buying the letter W, she cant hear what the letter W sounds like, therefore, enabling the conman to get away with her money...But, if you said I was wrong, then so be it.

EDIT: The conman could've technically said W was two U's, but since the deaf lady cant hear that, he leaves, or writes it down.

I still don't understand....I guess I'll have to give you guys this hint to understand it better.

See, the letter that the conman gave her actually DID make her hear, but she was still disappointed with the results.

Quote (doughnut @ 16th January 2004 21:59)

he could make her hear

This might be a stretch, but is it the letter A?

he + a + r = hear

CORRECT! You're up.

There is an object.
The person that makes it doesn't want it.
The person who buys it doesn't use it.
The person who uses it doesn't know he's using it.

What's the object?

--------------------

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while

Is it a coffin?

Coffin is right, so Hanyou has the next riddle.

--------------------

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

What are the next two numbers in this series?

14, 19, 29, 40, 44, 52, 59, 73, __, __

14, 19, 29, 40, 44, 52, 59, *73*, *88* ?
