LMFAO....

LMFAO....

...got to give that one to ya.... ;) ...as RAYMOND would say, "STILL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL" :D :D

...okay, another.... :shrug: ...one for the younger audience, but mathmatical nonetheless.... ;)

Bubba invited Beavis and Butthead to his house for a barbeque. Since Bubba's barbeque is only capable of handling two hamburgers at once, he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers at once, he wonders how he can cook three hamburgers in the shortest amount of time. It takes five minutes fro each side of a burger to cook. Therefore, in ten minutes two will be cooked, and another ten minutes will be needed to cook the third burger. Butthead says all three can be cooked i just 15 minutes. How? :shrug:

LMAO.... STILL LOL LOL LOL LOL :cool:

For the beavis and butthead one:
At the beginning you put both burgers on, at 5 minutes you take one off and put the raw one one.
at 10 minutes the original one is done, you then put the one you took off at 5 minutes to finish cooking back on the grill with the one you put on at 5 minutes.

For the U2 one:
Bono goes across with edge and bono returns, 3 minutes
adam and larry cross with edge returning, 12 minutes
bono and ledgecross together 2 minutes
equals 17 minutes

For the hotel one you can figure out the math in a reverse manner.
the clerk had 30
returned the 30th, 29th and 28th dollar to the men
kept the 27th 26th
dollar one up to the 25th went to the hotel payment

Here is one for you to try:
You are in the basement and there are 3 light switches that control three different lights up stairs.
You can only turn on two switches and can only go upstairs once.
How can you determine what switch controls what light?

switch 1 leave it off
switch 2 leave it on
swithc 3 turn it on for a while

then you go upstairs and one of the lamps should be on, two of them
shouldnt but other of these two should be warm.

i guess ?
