Thinking Exercise of the day.

Hey everyone,

I just remembered, a thinking/riddle question which I would like to share with all of you, and see if you can answer it. This is just for fun lets see who's smart enough. (This does not mean the others are dum)

This is from my days living in Colombia, my old math teacher loved riddles:

Today, a group of brothers are celebrating their 40th Birthday. They were born from the same mother, and they all share the same biological father. Yet they are not twins, how is this possible?


Lets see if you can answer it its easy, I have harder ones though.

"(This does not mean the others are dum)"


the missing 'B' at the end of dumb really made that funny to me

it was a good riddle though

 

[EdaxFlamma]

Either that or it's their 40th Birthday collectively.

clone ?

 

[petmantis]

um, i don't get it

 

[carnivoure12]

The correct answer is they are triplets, or any other number above. Capensis and Halt get a point.

Here's the Riddle for the Feb 5th:

A farmer is looking and walking through his crops, inspecting for any problems. He comes upon a pond and see's his reflection, and notices his beard and hair are quite messy and long. The Farmer decides to head to town, and get a hair cut and grooming. There are only 2 barbershops in the tiny village. Barber Shop A Is extremely messy, there is hair all over the place, the barber himself is a complete mess, his beard and hair filthy and long., and his tools are all over the place. Barber Shop B Is very clean and tidy, the barber is clean shaven his hair freshly washed and combed. Everything is very neat.

Q; Which of the two barber shops did he choose? Why?

 

[Zero]

the messy one because he is good and gets tons of business? that's why it's messy.

 

[carnivoure12]

Zero you got it, very good job!, shall I post another one?

 

[Nepfreak]

A, because he's "A farmer!"
or because in B the barber hadn't cut his hair, just washed it and groomed it. No hair on the floor = no haircut. just a bit late on that one.
