Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 03:59 pm  Let's have some fun! Here is a puzzle for you. "Think of words ending in -gry. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everybody uses everyday. If you have listened carefully, I've already told you what it is." I'll present the answer 5.30 pm board time. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:08 pm  Well I'm just entertaining myself so here's another puzzle: A man pushed his car. He stopped when he reached a hotel, at which point he knew he was bankrupt. Why? Same deadline. |
Jana | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:10 pm  On the first question....I have heard this before and (of course I this may be wrong)...but someone told me that this was a hoax and that there really isn't another word. But then I have also heard that the other word is simply a the word "gry" which is a word that isn't used very much and I forgot what it meant. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:16 pm  Okay answer to the second question is the guy was playing Monopoly. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:17 pm  Well, there is a trick to it and of course an answer, and there is a word 'gry' but that's not the answer. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:19 pm  Okay first question: Jana I looked up Gry because of your post and it means anything very small or of little value. |
Wcv63 | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:20 pm  Sigh. And I thought we had it!! |
Whit4you | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:24 pm  Ok I'll bite. If a brick weighs 7 lbs plus a half a brick, how much does a brick and a half weigh? |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:25 pm  Grr....... I have read the puzzle before and forgot the answer. Couldn't figure it out the first time. But I know it is something so simple. WCV... Monopoly sounds good to me. |
Sbw | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:26 pm  Whit... 21 pounds? |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 04:26 pm  Excellent job on Challenge #2. Correct! Here is Challenge #3: A man is walking down a crowded sidewalk. He sees his mother's sister's father's grandson. He suddenly realizes he has forgotten to get his haircut. Why? Easy one. |
