ECON riddle....

[yepitsme]

ok here is one, chessboard 8x8 64 squares right ?

how many horses ( playing pieces ) you can seat to the board
so, that any of them can't beat another ?

 

[maximus]

X's being where horses are
O's being where they are not

 

[yepitsme]

can't beat each others but that doesn't count ) .

Here's a new one....

Here's a new one....

It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the begining of the end, and the end of every space? What is it? :shrug:

p.s. someone please answer Kotysdad's numbers question above.... i've been staring at it all day and it's driving me crazy!!!

I dunno my man.......I got it in about 10 seconds!

You had to know that $2 bills would come into play, and that an odd number of $5 bills had to be used, too.

I just happened to start out with a $50, and the rest all fit like a glove!

 

[yepitsme]

13 but i have no idea how to arrange 1s and 2s.

1=1
11=2
21=3
1211=5
111221=8

Fibonaccis ( smart ass, i hope when he was in school other kids teased him really bad ) numbers, sum of last two numbers = next one

 

[taoist]

I dunno my man.......I got it in about 10 seconds!

...i'm talking about the damn...

1
11
21
1211
111221
?

problem.... any ideas, yzz?

Penguins only live in Antarctica...not north pole

312211

damn, surprisingly this fell in JFMAMJJA category


:thefinger

 

[KotysDad]

312211

damn, surprisingly this fell in JFMAMJJA category


:thefinger

That is the correct answer. Each line is just the previous line read left to right.

The line above the ? has three ones followed by two twos and one one. 3 1's followed by 2 2's followed by a one 1.
312211

so the next line would be 13112221
One 3, one 1, two 2's, two 1's

 

[taoist]

Kodysdad....

Kodysdad....

...thank you for finally letting me off the hook. i've been thinking about that all day, chit i think i dreamt about 1's and 2's last night. LMAO

how about this one?

How can you make the following equation true by drawing only one straight line:
5+5+5=550

Can you figure it out? :shrug:

p.s. i don't think anyone answered the last one i posted, but that's okay, i'm sure bah mama will see it soon enough.

Thanks for explaining that one one one 2 thing that was driving me nuts. try this one

'I've got some birds in the barnyard," said farmer Feiner"They're all ducks but two,all chickens but two, and all geese but two. How many birds have I got"?

 

[BreakaLeg]

Taoist had to scroll back to see the one we missed
It's the letter E... very deep thought though:toast: :drinky: :toast:

One of each bird, for a total of three.

 

[BreakaLeg]

Twice eight are ten of us,and ten but three.
Three of us are five. What can we be?
If this is not enough, I'll tell you more.
Twelve of us are six, and nine but four.

 

[maximus]

taoist- dont know if this is right but you could put a straight line on top of the = sign to make a <, then 5+5+5 would read less than or equal to 550

 

[KotysDad]

Twice eight are ten of us,and ten but three.
Three of us are five. What can we be?
If this is not enough, I'll tell you more.
Twelve of us are six, and nine but four.

The number of letters in each spelling of the numbers.


Taoist, still thinking about your 5+5+5=550.
If you draw a straight vertical line thru the equal sign then you have the statement that 5+5+5 does not equal 550 - which is true. Thats not what you're looking for though, is it?

 

[KotysDad]

Damn Taoist.......you got me totally stumped on that 550 problem. I just took a washable marker and wrote 5+5+5=550 on my bedroom ceiling hoping that maybe the answer will come to me while I am trying to fall asleep LOL

 

[ozball]

Hey I got one...5+545 = 550
