Yes, air goes a direct route while bus goes through turns and bends and stuff

Here's an old stupid one:

 

You have two American coins that, when added together, equal 35 cents. One of them is not a quarter. What are the two coins?

Simple. A quarter and a dime.

 

One of them is not a quarter, but the other one is. <_<

Which is heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of gold?

Simple. A pound of lead weighs more than a pound of gold because a pound of lead will sink if you drop it in the middle of the ocean.

 

And anyone who disputes this, feel free to drop a pound of gold in the middle of the ocean and prove me wrong. <_<

Actually, you are wrong. If you have a pound of lead and a poud of gold, they each weigh a pound. :angry:

 

What you are referring to are densities. Lead has a higher density than gold and will sink faster. Density is equal to mass divided by volume. A pound each of lead and gold does not take up the same volume, so the densities will be different. Lead has a higher mass per unit volume than does gold, so it will sink faster.

Well there you go trying to be serious and ruining my fun. And yes, a pound is a pound is a pound, and lead will probably fall to the bottom of the ocean faster than gold will, but that part is pretty much academic since no one in their right mind would drop a gold brick into the ocean anyway just to prove a point. :angry:

Actually someone most likelly would, however if it were Gold pressed Latinum I'm ssure that would be a different story.

<_< No. It won't. I already know what you're getting at. You can't fool me.

uh ok im goingot say that, if the ounce of water is the wieght ounce and noth the liguid measurement, they both wiegh the same

 

as for if its a fluid once and a wieghing ounce that may be another story,

 

my Chem teacher would love to read my explanation, and then make fun of me for it

1 ounce water = .25 gills = .0625 pints = .03125 quarts = .0078125 gallons

 

.0078125 gallons of water is approximately equal to .0625 pounds. Which is coincidentally equal to an ounce of solid whatever. You are wrong.

 

Besides, a liquid ounce is a measure of volume, not weight.

Question would be...hmm...been thinking about it and cant come up with an answer...whats the solution? Anything I come up with needs 2 questions. Since you have only 1 question with 2 possible outcomes, and 3 possible answers, I dont see that the problem is answerable.

lol, if you don't specify if the measurements are volume or weight, then you have to accept both answers. So there. ;) Here's one for you:

 

You're in a boat on a lake. If you throw your anchor out of the boat into the lake, does the level of the lake rise, fall, or stay the same?

ok ok

 

the water level for the lake will stay the same

because the wiehg tof the anchor was already in ur boat and there fore you will not be adding any more volume to the water

Well, here's one for you guys---A 747 crashes in the Rio de Janiero, the border between the USA and Mexico. In which country would the survivors be buried?

First off, the Rio Grande is the bordering river between Mexico and the U.S. Second, survivors aren't generally buried. <_<

Yeah, survivors usually aren't buerried because they're still alive.
