Miranda's Brain Teaser: April 21

What do the following words have in common? They are in no specific order.

Bedposts, Denominate, Highways, Culture, and Elephants.

ANSWER:
Each word equals 100 when the letters are added up.
For example a = 1, b= 2, c=3.
You add up the letters and the numbers they represent.

Highways: H=8, I=9, G=7, H=8, W=23, A=1, Y=25, S=19
8+9+7+8+23+1+25+19

Brain teaser by jared for the16th

Last weekend, I went to play in the nearby park. It was real fun! I rode my new bicycle that Mom had gifted me on my birthday.On reaching the park, I saw that there were a total of 13 bicycles and tricycles. If the total number of wheels was 35, how many tricycles were there?

Answer
9

Solution: Assuming 2 wheels for each cycle, 13 cycles will have 26 wheels. But, there are 35 − 26 = 9 extra wheels. As bicycles have 2 wheels and tricycles have 3 wheels, there is 1 extra wheel per tricycle in the park. Thus, the 9 extra wheels belong to 9 tricycles.

The Best Brain Teaser Ever by Ryan McCarvill

One night, an old woman, aged 71, decides she needs to pick up some groceries, but the store closes at 8 o'clock sharp. She leaves her computer on, but turns off her TV, her coffee maker, her dishwasher, her washing machine and turns out the lights. She also lets her dog outside while she is gone. She arrives at the store at 7:51. She buys milk, bread, eggs, bacon and a jug of orange juice. She realizes she does not have enough money to pay for the orange juice, so she puts it back. While in the store, she met a man who had seven wives, and each wife had ten monkeys and each monkey had thirteen goats and each goat had 27 silver bells hanging from both horns. Two goats only have one horn. The old lady leaves the store and drives home, arriving around 8:30. On her front lawn, she sees 10 dead bodies. WHAT HAPPENED????


ANSWER:
Don't even think about it---The answer will be given in class.

There was a man with three balls and he had to cross a bridge. The
bridge could only hold the weight of him and two balls at a time and
he could only make one trip across. In the end he made it to the other
side with all three balls. How did he do it?
