    Tie the rope to the boat on one end, and the duck on the other. Take the wolf and fox in the boat and make the duck swim.

    I was going to say the wife suicided in the bath tub with a hair dryer which would cause the power to go out.

    The woman knew he was murdered because her husband murdered John Smith?

    She's a travel agent. John Smith was booked for a one way ticket.


    A woman has 7 children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?

    One December morning after a particularly heavy snow storm, the power fails. Fortunately, there is still an old wood stove with which you can prepare most of the Houston Rockets' breakfasts. nice job for you loser. However T-Mac has a peculiar breakfast item which now poses a problem. He likes a single egg boiled for exactly nine minutes.

    You aren't wearing your watch, and all the clocks in the building are electric. You are able to find two exquisite hourglasses, able to pricely measure in hand-crafted swiss sand seven and four minutes, respectively.

    How do you provide T-Mac with his 9 minute egg? Any longer and it will be too tough to eat without gold teeth. Any less, and it will spill when he cracks it.

    Start both hourglasses. After 4 minutes, one will be empty, so you flip it over. After 3 more minutes, the other will be empty so you flip that one over. In 1 more minute the 4 min glass will be empty again, and the seven minute glass will have run for 1 minute, you flip the seven minute glass over again. In another minute, the seven minute glass will be empty and nine minutes will have passed (plus a few fractions of a second for flipping the glasses.

    4+3+1+1=9

    You've just purchased your first new home. When you arrive to beginning moving in, you discover that the builder forgot something. Being a self-reliant sort of person, you decide to finish the job yourself. You stroll down to the local hardware store and find exactly what you need at a price you can afford. The hardware store charges perfectly reasonable prices for the items; 7 will cost $1.00, 10 will cost $2.00, and 100 will cost $3.00. As it happens, you need 880, which also costs $3.00.

    These items could likely be found at any hardware store, and at your average home.

    What did the builder forget?

    man this one was hard, i couldn't sleep until i figured it out.

    start them both at the same time....

    when the four minute one runs out, flip it over
    when the seven minute one runs out, flip it over
    when the four minute one runs out for the 2nd time, flip the seven minute one over.

    when the seven minute one is done, it has been 9 minutes.

    the address numbers.

    7 is one digit ($1), 10 is 2 digits ($2), 100 and 880 are 3 digits ($3).

    How can you make the following equation true by drawing only one straight line?

    5+5+5=550

    ____

    A man walks into a bar, and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender then pulls a gun out from under the counter, and aims it at the man behind the counter. The man then thanks the bartender and leaves.

    Why did the man thank the bartender for pulling a gun on him?

    The man had hiccups and the bartender scared him to get rid of them.
