Why was six afraid of seven?

Okay, I'll jump in with *my* old favorite.

 

Three guys go to Shoreleave and share a room in a REALLY cheap hotel. The desk clerk charges them $30 so they each pay $10.

 

Then the clerk realizes the room is only $25 (no toilet, maybe?) and gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests.

 

The bellhop decides that it will be a pain to split $5 between three guests, so he pockets $2 himself and gives them each back $1.

 

So, each of the three guests paid $9 and the bellhop kept $2.

 

In other words, 3 * 9 = 27, then add in the 2 held to the side and you have 29.

 

Where is the missing dollar??

 

 

OK to figure this one out we see that the 3 men have paid $10.00, the Bellhop is given 5 back he takes 2 and gives 1 to each of the men, If he were one of the men then it would make sence. The bellhop would not only have the 2+1 therefore making the amount he paid only $7, and the other 2 men would have paid $9.

 

Thus 7+9+9=25 the cost for the room.

Then the money pocketed 1+1+3=5

25+5=30 the totall amount originally paid.

The bellhop had not only the $2 originally pocketed, but the "missing" $1.

Wow...No wonder I'm always broke...darn dissappearing Dollars.

I love that one ;)

Yes, 2, and from there just keep adding 128; so 130, 258, 386, 514, etc., also work.

 

Many moons ago, when Tommy's son Alex was learning how to drive, Tommy thought he'd take him out in his '63 Dart and show him the rules of the road.

 

Alex was driving along, doing rather well, when they hear an unfamiliar noise. Tommy realized after a minute or so that the right rear tire had gone flat.

 

Realizing this was yet another fine opportunity to teach, Tommy asked Alex to pull off onto the shoulder. With the semis whizzing by at 70 miles per hour, Tommy hid in the bushes and told Alex from 100 yards away, "Take the jack out of the truck."

 

Alex jacked up the car, loosened the wheel nuts, and very carefully put them in the hub cap. But when he went to retrieve the spare tire, he inadvertently stepped on the hub cap and sent all but one of the wheel nuts cascading down the nearby hillside, never to be seen again. Out of the five wheel nuts, he managed to save one.

 

After administering an appropriate number of dope slaps, Tommy said, "We're done for!"

 

Suddenly, Alex said, "Wait a minute! Can you have four wheel nuts on every wheel instead of five?" Tommy said, "Yes, of course we can -- at least until we get back to town." To which Alex replied, "Well then, let's take one nut off of each of the other wheels, leaving four on each wheel, and we'll have four for the tire we're changing."

 

Three hours later, they're still waiting for help. Why couldn't they do what Alex suggested?

well we all know that on a 63 dart the wheel on the right side of the car have threads oppisite of those on the left so you couln't even screww in a nut from the those two tire

Very good.

 

I took a sheet plain white paper. No lines on it or anything, just a blank sheet of paper. Like eight-and-a-half by eleven. And, using a fountain pen with black ink I wrote my signature on the paper. Anywhere on the paper. It really didn't matter. I also put something else on the paper. Both were plainly visible. When I looked at my signature through the magnifying glass that I had, I was not at all surprised to find that it was enlarged. But when I looked at the other thing that was on the paper, it wasn't enlarged. What was the second thing?

It was the magnifying glass.

 

So ... after reading five pages of these things I still can't find the answer to the "3 integers between 0 and 4 question".

 

Could someone repeat the answer?

No. Assume that you looked at the second thing the magnifying glass, and that the second thing is placed there in a manner like the first.

Well, I guess I'll answer my question, since no one else seems to have the answer. The other thing is an angle. So if I draw a 48 degree angle and look at it through the magnifying glass, it is still 48 degrees.

A detective is on a stakeout, watching a warehouse where he knows a bunch of crooks meet. But he wants to catch the boss.

 

He's watching this warehouse at night from a second-floor window over a nearby building. Crooks come and go all night, but he waits until the boss shows up to move in. Thing is, he doesn't know what the boss looks like.

 

All he knows is that the boss always travels with two bodyguards and that he'll be in a white car. Eventually a white two-door coupe pulls up. There are only two men in the car, and they get out of the car and go into the building. The detective waits. While waiting, he nods off for a few minutes.

 

When he wakes up the coupe is gone. He watches another half-hour and falls asleep again. When he finally wakes up, the same white coupe is back.

 

Using his binoculars, he looks into the car. He sees that the car is empty, but he knows that the boss is inside. He calls his back up, and the joint is busted.

 

They catch the big boss.

 

The question is: How did the detective know the boss was inside?

[koolaidman 0]

well if the boss is BIG would he weigh the car down?

By "big boss" I mean "top guy", not "heavy".

[koolaidman 0]

the car needs a driver

[Reidun Seversen 0]

the bodyguards are standing outside of the car?

[WxMurray 0]

the bodyguards are standing outside of the car?

No, the body guards would be with him. He takes them everywhere, including the bathroom (although they might stand just outside the door for that). Hint: read the story carefully. Everything you need is there, plus a little thinking.

I'll post the answer tomorrow at some point if no one gets it.

Does this require knowledge of the construction of particular car types? ::sneaking suspicion, but knowledge of cars limited to how to drive them and fix common problems long enough to reach service stations::

Everything you need to know is in the story.

The detective went undercover as one of the bodyguards?

Nope. That isn't in the story. Everything you need is there.
