Rebirth of the Brain Teaser

[The Popper]

Geez. I fluked that one.
OK. I'll have a go, albeit feeble:
`A woman has 7 children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?'

 

[Dean Moriarty]

She has seven sons - half of them are boys and so is the other half.

 

[wittyfan]

Or one of her kids is a hermaphrodite. :lol:

 

[Jimbo]

Three boys, three girls, and Sullyfan ;-)

 

[King of the Hill]

She has seven sons - half of them are boys and so is the other half.

That's so dumb, it makes no sense, it took me a minute to even understand why that is the answer.

Half of them arent boys, all of them are.

WORST RIDDLE EVER

 

[The Popper]

You're right, Dean. You get the Gold Medal...and the baton.
That's right too, SS. All of them have to be boys so half of them can be.

Until I am measured
I am not known,
Yet how you miss me
When I have flown.

There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the lift down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work.

Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining. Why?

That one is too hard for here Deano.
I am sure Austin has a friend who knows the answer.

"I" would be time

 

[King of the Hill]

Dean I know the answer to that one and it's a classic......no one should search for the answer or post if they've already heard it, let people figure it out!

He's a dwarf and can't reach the top buttons unless he has his umbrella with him which he would if it were raining??????

Correct - too quick, mate. Over to you.

A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
What's going on here?

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Actually I just tried SS method & got results on all of these straight away!!
These "classics" are no good!

 

[blacktip-reefy]

We are very little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and a fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you

 

[Dean Moriarty]

That would be the five vowels.

Haven't worked out Frenzy's one yet though. :-k

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Yeah, well ya won't.
Even if you thought the answer up, you would be unlikely to say it because it is too left field.
The best ones are the ones which have a concise logical answer.
Like the one about the guy who hung himself & how.

 

[Quint]

What a joke!,For starters Vowels are'nt creatures they are bloody letters.
How are you supposed to get the answers if the clues don't pertain to the questions? :roll:

You could be right - it's very lateral. Weird even.

Here's an easier one

A criminal is sentenced to death. Before his execution, he is allowed to make a statement. If his statement is false, he will be hanged, and if his statement is true, he will be drowned. What should he say to confuse the jury and thus save his life?
