    lol, I just saw the post. Umm well since 10,000 divided by half is 5,000 I'd guess 9,999 divided by half is 5,000 minus half, which is 4,999.5?

    Do I win a quarter? :D

    dam, i guess its 9,999 * 2 which is 20,000 - 2, which gives u 19,998.

    Dam I failed!! Ok maybe I'm not as good as I thought. Well I can still square any 2 digit number in my head!

    Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by two.

    Simple example: how many halves in one?

    This should bring your post stats up, PUGS. FattyB, thanks for your [EDIT]. I admire your humility when you admitted you weren't as good as you thought, Pugs. Now do you have one to puzzle ME?

    Here is another (no googling either, I got it wrong the first time so don't feel bad if you can't get it): three mothers with two daughters each come to your restaurant at the same time. How can you seat them in one table if you only have tables for 6?

    Making cereal.

    It takes a certain amount of skill to balance the amount of milk and ceral used together and I have mastered that.

    It didn't say the daughters were coming, so there are only 3 people to sit at the table.

    Here is one of my favorites:

    Answer each of the 8 questions with a letter from A to D.
    The word "answer" in the test refers to YOUR answer, not some hypothetical "best" answer. After choosing the 8 answers score the test by comparing each question with your answers. Score 1 point for each question answered correctly, 0 otherwise. Keep re-taking the test, trying to get the highest possible score. (Of course you must know what the highest possible score is in order to correctly score the last question!)

    (1) The next question with the same answer as this one is:
    (A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5
    (2) The first question with answer C is:
    (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4
    (3) The last question with answer A is:
    (A) 5 (B) 6 (C) 7 (D) 8
    (4) The number of questions with answer D is:
    (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4
    (5) The answer occuring the most is: (if tied, first alphabetically)
    (A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D
    (6) The first question with the same answer as the question following it is:
    (A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5
    (7) The answer occuring the least is: (if tied, last alphabetically)
    (A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D
    (8) The highest possible score on this test is:
    (A) 5 (B) 7 (C) 6 (D) 8

    Answer is below






























    The highest possible score is 7, and it can only be obtained by answering the last question wrong!

    No, that's correct if I had said they didn't bring them but they DO BRING their daughters. ;) How do you seat them then?

    Yes, but how do you seat them, if there are 3 mothers times two daughters each? (you're getting close) :D

    The best I can come up with is:

    1 Grandmother has 2 daughters, those 2 daughters have 2 daughters each. That gives a total of 7.

    Ah yes, the "you are obsessed" card. The mantra of the beaten-down. :)

    Of course, you keep responding, so what does that make you? ;) Try not to respond to my posts... I dare you. lol.
