How many earrings are being worn in this club? 600 earrings Your friend Frans, that is correct, 600 minus 30 = 570 50% of 570 = 285 285 x 2 Earings = 570 + 30 = 600 [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 3, 2005 12:47:20 PM] |

#88 Dingleberry Dave was driving his semi under an overpass when suddenly he came to a screeching halt. Dave wasn't paying enough attention and inadvertently drove under the overpass that was just barely as high as his truck. The semi was wedged so tightly that he could not go forward or backward. A fellow trucker came by and told him how he could easily get the semi out from under the bridge. What did he suggest? [Correctly Answered by ] #89 Here on Earth it's almost always true, that tomorrow will follow today. Yet there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where is this place? [Correctly Answered by ] #90 When asked how old she was, Suzie replied, "In two years I will be twice as old as I was five years ago." How old is she?

#42 [Submitted by Caniche]
Jack Axe found a stick that weighed exactly 2 pounds. If he cuts in into 8 equal pieces, how much will each stick weigh? [Correctly Answered by ] If he cuts the stick 8 times, there would be 9 pieces. Therefore I would say each stick weighs 2/9ths of a pound. Regards, Joe. |

Hay joseph.hayden!
----------------------------------------Welcome to the Forums! A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain. What did he do? #60 He attached the Diamond to a Carrier Pigeon. I weaken all men for hours each day. I show you strange visions while you are away. I take you by night, by day take you back, none suffer to have me, but do from my lack. What am I? #93 Sleep Good Ones! [Edit 5 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 3, 2005 12:51:39 PM] |

Hi Graham,
My other answer would have been 1/4 pound, but that was already answered by Dreamshaper on page 2. I guess maths was never a strong point! Regards, Joe. |

Hi guys,
----------------------------------------Hmm, missed my chance yesterday, and got on a little late today, so the ones that remain are quite tough now... #96 Though liquid in nature, don't push me too far; for then I will break, and the damage may scar. What am I? a ZIT! #97 Golden treasures I contain, guarded by hundreds and thousands. Stored in a labyrinth where no man walks, yet men come often to seize my gold. By smoke I am overcome and robbed, then left to build my treasure anew. What am I? a Beehive, perhaps? (the "golden treasures" being honey) #98 Metal or bone I may be, many teeth I have and always bared, yet my bite harms no one and ladies delight in my touch. What am I? a Comb (or even a brush. sometimes)  Regards, FreeBee [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 3, 2005 5:26:04 PM] |
