Lateral Thinking # 5
Title : Wood That I Could
Itachi-kun is stranded on an island. Although he has firewood and matches, he spends several nights shivering and cold. On the tenth night it begins to rain and Itachi decides to light a fire. What's going on here?
CLUES :
Q : Did Itachi light the fire to keep warm?
A : No
Q : Would Itachi have lit the fire if it wasn't raining?
A : Yes
Q : Does the rain have any significance as to why Itachi lit the fire?
A : No
Q : Does Itachi have only a limited amout of firewood?
A : Yes
Anha!!
He's using the fire to signal a boat and/or plane passing by. since his firewood was limited he decided to save it up and use it for signaling in case there was a chance to be rescued. The fact that it was cold before and now it is raining are irrelevant, since warmth was not a priority.

- My brother Michael says he is able to place a bottle in the middle of a room and by crawling on the floor, he can slide into it. How can this be?
he can slide into the room by crawling and the bottle doesn't matter?

QUICK LOGIC # 8
- The only barber in town likes foreigners to go into his shop. Last week, he was telling me, "The truth is that I'd rather give two foreigners haircuts than to one person it town." What was the logic behind this? (Note: Dont think too hard about this one.)
his shop is in a foreign country! he doesn't want to cut anyone's hair in town because his shop is elesewhere and he doesn't want to work
Truey wrote:
QUICK LOGIC # 9
- I went into a store and found out that it cost $3 for 400, which meant that each part cost $1. What did I want to buy?
Oh noes... shopping is may weakness! I can't do shopping right!
uhh... something that was on surplus so much that the store is desperate to give it away? the garbage, maybe?

I cant remember. Is that internet term owned or pwned? It just randomly came back to me for some reason. Why do they make internet only terms anyways? Well I guess thats beside the point. On to the presentation of the awards for this week.
"Craziest answer Award" goes to......xenocrisis0153 (once again!!) for his ridiculous answers to Brain Bender #6...

I dunno... the word of the day on Pee-Wee's Playhouse right not is "door"... so that's my answer.
Good stuff.
"Still Manages to Spam This Thread Award" goes to.....NOBODY!!! Yep Im going to have to get rid of this one for all the spammers have left us to bigger and spammier things.
"Best Alternate Answer Award" goes to......Atashi for his.......almost strange answer to Quick Logic # 8.
Atashi wrote:
It's vietnam and foreign money is more expensive, plus he can rip off the stupid foriegners!!!
Uh.....yeah. Sure. Why not! No one else had a better one
"Most Complete Answer Award" goes to...... TrueAncestor because she is super awesomeness personified.
TrueAncestor wrote:
Lateral Thinking : Since there is no correlation betwen the rain and his wood use, Im thinking that maybe he saved the wood for the coldest day. The other days he found it tolerable, so he saved it for the emergency rainy day. Otherwise he could die from hypothermia or some other crazy sickness with water.
Oh yeah. I rock.
And finally the grandest award of them all, "Got All Answers Correct Award" goes to... NOBODY!!! Yes once again TrueAncestor and her book of magic has gotten the better of A-Source. I suppose I have to lower the difficulty again dont I!
Solution time.
--------------------------------------------
SOLUTION TO LATERAL THINKING # 5
--------------------------------------------
Wood That I Could
- Itachi was expecting a boat to pass by the island on the tenth nigh. Since he had only enough wood for one fire, Itachi waited until the boat was in sight. Coincidentally, this was the same night that it began to rain.
---------------------------------------
SOLUTION TO BRAIN BENDER # 6
---------------------------------------
- Bend over backwards.
Congrats to xristyan for being the only one who nailed this one.
----------------------------------
SOLUTIONS TO QUICK LOGIC
----------------------------------
# 7 - He goes to the next room and by crawling toward the bottle, slides into the room.
# 8 - Because he earns double by giving a haircut to two foreigners instead of to only one person in town.
# 9 - The number 400 to hang on to a house. This number is formed by three digits, at $1 each.
And now children its time for another game of.................

Lateral Thinking # 6
Title : A Shooting at Midnight
TrueAncestor walks into her backyard in the middle of the night and fires a gun. Due to her strange behavior he never seens another sunrise. Can you explain this odd occurrence? Because I would really like to know what happened.
CLUES :
Q : Was TrueAncestor trying to hit something?
A : Yes
Q : Was TrueAncestor injured in any way?
A : No
Q : Did TrueAncestor want to see the sunrise?
A : Hell no!!!
- While eating out, my brother-in-law Paul found a fly in his coffee. After taking the cup away, the waiter came back with a different cup of coffee. Paul got upset and returned it, saying that the coffee in the second cup was the same as in the first one. How did he know?
QUICK LOGIC # 11
- You find shelter in a mountain lodge on a windy night. When you go in, you only find a match, a candle, a sheet of newspaper, and a torch. You need to light the fireplace. What would you light first?
QUICK LOGIC # 12
- A farmer has twenty sheep, ten pigs, and ten cows. If we call the pigs cows, how many cows will he have? _________________ Miku Miku!!

The reason for this is the fact that the cup had a chip in it and as such, when the waiter came back he was provided with the same cup and the coffee was not changed.

QUICK LOGIC # 11
- You find shelter in a mountain lodge on a windy night. When you go in, you only find a match, a candle, a sheet of newspaper, and a torch. You need to light the fireplace. What would you light first?
You light the fire place with the match, as you might need the torch later on to be able to walk around the house at night. Further, the fire place can be used as a heat source. You search the newspaper sheet next to see if there is any valuable information you can glean about the storm, or surrounding area or phone numbers. However, if the phones are not working this cannot be of use. Then you might use the newspaper for an object to sleep on. If not, the goal is to be able to maintain the fire, so hold onto the sheet of newspaper so as to be able to use it in the case that the fire begins to die down. You are able to cover all of your bases that way.

QUICK LOGIC # 12
- A farmer has twenty sheep, ten pigs, and ten cows. If we call the pigs cows, how many cows will he have?
Although you call the pigs cows, they are still pigs. Thus you only have ten cows (or real cows). So yes my answer is 10.

The only logical explanation would be that truey was shooting at some celestial being that controls the universe and the sunrise, as such, upon hitting this being he was blinded and could no longer see nor control the sunrise creating eternal darkness and eliminating that hateful sunrise that truey could not stand.

T_T this is wacked...
she tried shooting at the sky but that was a reckless behaviour so police took her to prison and made her stay in solitary confinement which meant no sunrise for her...
other than that.... she always looked to the west where the sun never rises... orrrrrrr she never wakes up early enough to see the sunrise...

the fly or some parts of it were still there floating...

the match??? cause erm... you can't light the rest without lighting the match first...??? but if the torch is the torchlight (another name for a flashlight) then i guess you turn that on first to find your stuff like the match...

Tough one... umm... she has to have hit something that would ha.. hehehe...
She shot the rooster that made noise when the sun rises. It was annoying her and waking her up too early, so she saw the sunrise every day. She got tired of it and killed it one night, so she didn't see the sunrise again because she was able to sleep in.
Yay! Truey can sleep now!! *dances*

At the point of no return...? It kinda makes sense because "on" is "no" backwards... so "no return" seems to work... yeah.

Lateral Thinking #6
Title : A Shooting at Midnight
Umm...so she doesn't want to see sunrises and she's shot something to prevent herself from seeing sunrises, so she could have shot an alarm clock or any sort of bird that makes noise at that time, like a rooster or those morning birds that like to chirp at my window.....
Brain Bender #6
O.O --> i'll get back to you on that one....although Leo's 'at the point of no return' sounds really good
Quick Logic #10
The fly was still in there...
Quick Logic #11
Of course you would light the match first
Quick Logic #12
Well If we call pigs cows and cows are still called cows, then there would be 20 cows...but really coz we're only 'calling' pigs cows theres still only 10 cows XD

A Shooting At Midnight
- TrueAncestor shot her rooster, which had awakened her with his crowing every morning for the past ten years. (Bastard) Since he had recently retired, there was no longer any reason to be awakened at such an earlier hour. I then proceeded to have a great dinner.

answer 1: kimmie might have glanced at an advertisment on a window about retirement... and instinctively tried to see where her egg was supposed to be... she might have bought something at another store and during the process while lets say the egg was in her purse, as she rummages through her purse to get some money to pay for something the egg got sorta lost... she wouldn't have come to the conclusion if she was there a minute earlier cause if she was there a minute earlier then that means she wasn't able to make a purchase earlier and therefore not have to rummage through her purse and lost the egg and if she would look at the advertisment or something that reminded her of retirement she would not feel anything for she instincly knows the egg is there in her purse untouched...
answer 2: looking at the window kimmie saw her reflection and she saw that wherever she kept her egg was sorta ripped...
answer 3: she used up her money which was on the egg on some previous purchase and upon wanting to buy another thing at this particular store realized there was no more retirement thingy...
