A little brain exercise is always good. I'm posting 4 this Friday as 1-3 are pretty easy. 4 is a little tricky but I have no doubt that all 4 will be solved by noon.



1. A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn't break the law. How come?



2. If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?



3. How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't hit anything, there is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it?



4. Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room there are 3 bulbs (let's say in lamps which are on a regular table), each switch belongs to one bulb. All are off at the moment. It is impossible to see from one room to another. No help from anybody else is allowed.

How can you find out which switch belongs to which bulb, if you may enter the room with the bulbs only once?



To immortalize the winners of thread #1 (or at least give them another weekend to shine) lets give Props to:

Georges - for riddle 1 and 3

Glau- for riddle #2

What do you WIN? Good Ol' bragging rights.

1. She wasn't driving.

2. 2

3. Throw it up.

4. ? I'll think on it.



Ok, I got the fourth one now too but I had a little help so I'll refrain from posting the answer so soon. I like that last one. It's good!

#4 Turn on the first switch for a little while then turn it off, then turn on the second switch and leave it on. Now go into the room, the light that is on is the second switch, now feel the two remaining bulbs, the warm bulb is the first switch and the cold one is the third switch.
