Noooooo. . . you are correct!
Okay next one:
You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.
Explain how the tractor got there?

Did the tractor dig the lake around the island?

I guess tub can mean things other than bathtub:
1. a low wide open container, typically round, originally one made of wood and used esp for washing: now made of wood, plastic, metal, etc., and used in a variety of domestic and industrial situations
2. a small plastic or cardboard container of similar shape for ice cream, margarine, etc.

Maybe he didn't "bathe" but he must have taken a shower.

Okay heres one:-
A man was sentenced to death.He has a choice to go in any of the three rooms. Room 1 is full of raging fires that wont go out. Room 2 is filled with assassins with loaded guns. Room 3 has lions which haven't eaten for three years. Which one did the man choose and why?
Reply
'Abd Al-Maajid
07-10-2010, 02:50 AM
He'd probably choose the room with the lions because lions who have not eaten for three years are dead. So, he'd be safe there...
P.S. A man who is sentenced to death should meet his fate.

Aw come on...I cheated....I know Bilal (ra) was the first muadhdhin...so his father can be referred to as Abu Bilal.

Abd Munaf was his laqab, Mughira was his name. The correct answer is Ghalib bin Fihr.
Laqab is nickname, kuniyya is similar, except it is used as "Abu " & Child's name.

Well this is the Answer i got
F = 1.8C + 32
x = 1.8x + 32
x - 1.8x = 1.8x + 32 - 1.8x
-0.8x = 32
-8x = 320
-x = 40
x = -40
The only place that might be -40 degrees cold must be Anartica.

Well okay you are kind of correct coz i have no idea what you wrote
heres the "Real" answer:
1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = y
If x = 1,
then the equation likes this:
1/2 +1/2(1/2 + 1/2(1/2 +1/2(1/2 + ... = y
1/2 +1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + ... = y
y = 1 = x
y = x
And i have no idea what that means or says either :-\ i guess its always hard for people like me :-\

The baby is little (as in young) wherease Mr Bigger and Mrs Bigger are not and therefore Baby Bigger is a little bigger.

Bro dont you get it, the answer is in the Q, "Baby
Bigger" as in hes bigger, lol thats what got me anyway :-\

The explanation is based on the number of letters altogether; Baby Bigger consists of 10 letters, Mrs Bigger of 9 and Mr Bigger of 8. This makes Baby Bigger the biggest.
This is from a book called "Jokes, Riddles, Puns The Best of Brief Humor", authored by Helen; Leeming, Joseph Hoke.

I can't believe I've read 2 pages of Baby Bigger :|
The OP already explained the correct answer they were looking for. It's a play on words. It can mean the baby was small in the context of the Bigger family (e.g. Baby Bigger was a little Bigger, or Baby Smith was a little Smith), AND it can mean the baby was slightly bigger (e.g. Baby Bigger was a little bigger, or Baby Smith was a little bigger).
Now can we have another? :p

Next is: There are 4 men in a boat in the middle of the ocean. They have 5 cigarettes and they each smoke one. How do they light them?
To be honest i dont get it :-\, the answer is weird maybe someone can explain it when its been answered indeedy weedy :-\

I don't think this one was posted yet. The answer is apparant if you understand the question.
A man steps out of his house walks 3 miles south, than 3 miles west and then 3 miles north which brings him back to his house. He sees a bear on his front porch.
What color is the Bear?

Correct. The only place on earth you could walk 3 miles , South, 3 miles west , 3 miles North and be back at your starting point is the North Pole. Therefore the house was at the North Pole and the only bears found at the North Pole are Polar Bears.

That means there's a cigarette's worth in weight removed. "The boat has become a cigarette lighter" is an ambiguous statement; which could either mean its become a lighter for cigarettes, or its become lighter by the weight of a cigarette.

Foul, not fair, that is math. Math questions are forbidden.
Palindromic Number
A palindromic number is a number (in some base ) that is the same when written forwards or backwards, i.e., of the form . The first few palindromic numbers are therefore are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 101, 111, 121, ... (Sloane's A002113). The number of palindromic numbers less than a given number are illustrated in the plot above.
The numbers of palindromic numbers less than 10, , , ... are 9, 18, 108, 198, 1098, 1998, 10998, ... (Sloane's A050250). This sequence is given by the closed-form formula
(1)
Banks et al. (2004) proved that almost all palindromes (in any base) are composite, with the precise statement being
(2)
where is the number of palindromic primes and is the number of palindromic numbers .
The sum of the reciprocals of the palindromic numbers converges to a constant (Sloane's A118031; Rivera), where the value has been computed using all palindromic numbers is 3.370001832....
The first few for which the pronic number is palindromic are 1, 2, 16, 77, 538, 1621, ... (Sloane's A028336), and the first few palindromic numbers which are pronic are 2, 6, 272, 6006, 289982, ... (Sloane's A028337). The first few numbers whose squares are palindromic are 1, 2, 3, 11, 22, 26, ... (Sloane's A002778), and the first few palindromic squares are 1, 4, 9, 121, 484, 676, ... (Sloane's A002779).
There are no palindromic square -digit numbers for , 4, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20, 24, 30, ... (Sloane's A034822).
Numbers that are not the sum of two palindromes (where 0 is itself considered a palindrome) are 21, 32, 43, 54, 65, 76, 87, 98, 201, 1031, ... (Sloane's A035137). Numbers that are not the difference of two palindromes are 1020, 1029, 1031, 1038, 1041, 1047, 1051, 1061, ... (Sloane's A104444).

It was simple. Original number 72927 has five digits, it needs to be increased by keeping it palindromic (horizontal mirror value should be identical to the number). If you increase the units; you can't get a palindrome without increasing the ten-thousands. As the number consists of five digits (an odd number of digits), you can easily start in the middle and work your way outwards. Increasing the 9 in the hundreds place will increment the thousands. This means you have to increment the tens; so the quickest way is to add 1 to the 9 (in hundreds), which makes 73027, and then add 1 to the tens place to make 73937.
Its basic maths; whenever you're working with a palindromic sequence, you always work your way outwards, just as you work right to left in addition and multiplication.

It was long time since I solved a math problem, you guys just remembered me the math days :exhausted
here is one easy question :
There are 2 trees in a garden (tree "A" and "B") and on the both trees are some birds.
The birds of tree A say to the birds of tree B that if one of you comes to our tree, then our population will be the double of yours.
Then the birds of tree B tell to the birds of tree A that if one of you comes here, then our population will be equal to that of yours.
Now answer: How many birds in each tree?

I think no, he's lying. according to his description, the patient is the son of his brother (i.e his nephew), but he said he has no brother.
