True Ancestor's Brain Teasers and Logic Puzzles

[Kimmie-chan]

Lol I got mententioned thanx Truey~ now on with this weeks brainteasers.


LATERAL THINKING # 11

Title : The Mysterious Motorist
The simple reason why Xristyan opens the boot of his car so often is because he's a serial killer/kidnapper. He hops out of his car on a regular basis to make sure either the body is still dead or, maybe if the perosn needs to be alive, he makes sure they are still alive.

Other motorist can clearly see what he's doing, but hey Xrixtyan has his incinerator to take care of things

BRAIN BENDER # 11
You're playing fill in the missing letter and that missing letter is 'U' for the word 'TURN'

QUICK LOGIC # 25
Obviously Superman was there to stop them in time Or it has one of those divider thinges, and they make it thorugh safely

QUICK LOGIC # 26
The policeman was the father of the 16 year old on the moped, so when he fined his son, and clearly his son wasn't able to afford, o-papa-san pays for him

QUICK LOGIC # 27
The third stop is the last stop

Zierlyn's Brainteaser
They had 2 sons and that 3rd son was Ranma...so technically out of those 5 children half of them ARE boys....

yes, i got an award! that is going straight to my CV... oh yeah,
"got an award from truey"
insta-win!

let's see if i can snag one more ^_^

lateral thinking #11
it's xrist. he always does weird stuff. i heard he likes to collect peas and put 'em in his nostrils. it's true. ask him, he's gonna deny it, i know it

brain bender #11
...huh. it's, uh... it's my name depicted! only, you know... with the wrong letters... and in the wrong order. but it's close to my name!

quick logic #25
i'm thinking that it's a reaaallllyyyy long tunnel, and that the trains stop inside the tunnel, so they don't crash. it might be a secret military storage depot, built into a mountain, so lots of transport trains go there and stop inside the tunnel where no one can see them. and then they unload secret stuff. but it's secret so don't tell anyone <.<

quick logic #26
the policeman is the boy's father! i'm so smart xP

quick logic #27
the guy getting on was probably paying his ticket with 1-cent coins only. so if he hands the driver 25 1-cent coins, then it's pretty safe to assume he's going to the last stop, right? hehe.

ergg, difficult. i'll be lucky if i get even one right xD

TRUE ANCESTOR'S BRAIN TEASERS AND LOGIC PUZZLES!!!

LATERAL THINKING # 11

Title : The Mysterious Motorist

Every so often, Xristyan pulls off to the side of the road and opens the trunk of the his car. He doesnt get anything out of the trunk or put anything into it. Can you give a reason for this seemingly strange activity?

CLUES :

Q : Was Xristyan having car trouble?
A : No

Q : Does Xristyan do this on a regular basis?
A : Yes

Q : Could any of the passing motorists tell why he had opened the trunk?
A : Yes

Q : Was he working when this occurred?
A : Yes

I refuse to answer that...

ok fine i can't resist... erm... i guess xristyan is a chemicals tansporter... and lo of all days his chemicals are kinda unsecured at his trunk... so every so often he has to check up on them... to see that none of them got spilled or mingled with the others...

What word, expression, or name is depicted below?

QUICK LOGIC # 25

- A railway line has a double track, except in a tunnel where there was no room for a double track. A train goes into the tunnel in one direction, and another one enters in the opposite direction. Both trains are traveling fast. However they do not crash. Why?

It didn't say anything about those trains going in at the same time... therefore i conclude that they didn't crash since they didn't go through the tunnel at the same time...

QUICK LOGIC # 26

- A 16 year old boy was driving a moped down a one way street in the wrong direction. A policeman stopped him and gave him a ticket. The policeman paid for the ticket himself. Can you find a logical explanation for this?

if the 16 year old boy was the policeman's son then the 16 yr old dude would have to be in highschool meaning he is still on allowance... which means all the money he has comes from his father.. and if his father was the policeman then inevitably the policeman ultimately pays for his son's ticket...

QUICK LOGIC # 27

- A bus stops three times during the ride. The ticket costs 12 cents to the first stop, 21 cents to the second stop, and 25 to the third stop. A man gets on the start of the route and gives the driver 25 cents. Without talking to the passenger, the driver gives him a ticket to the last stop. How does the driver know?

i know its quick logic and should just be done with a simple thought.. but my brain won't let me.. so yeah... a lot of possible outcomes can be seen, one more plausible than the others if taken into consideration all the premise...

first of is that the man was a regular passenger and the driver knows exactly where he is going... so hence he need not ask for which stop he needs to be... the problem with that is... if he IS a regular passenger then the bus driver should at least greet him. its a common courtesy thing i guess... but since he did not greet him then he musn't be a regular passenger or the driver is one heck of a snob...

next one is that there is this standard in bus fares to get most money is that bus drivers will not ask questions and assume basing on the money the passengers give to be their destination.. so 25 cents unless otherwise stated by the passenger will be for the 25 cent ride...

another is that the man gave the 25 cents in loose change... if he gave 25 cents in loose change to the driver then that means he isn't expecting any change for it or else he would have just not given him the extra loose change... so yeah..
______________________________________________________________________

For this weeks sent in Brain Teaser, we go to Zierlyn.

Q : Zierlyn and Lil' Debra have five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?

im just gonna wing it and say there were five kids under zierlyn and five for lil debra and in any combination there were five boys there... so yeah.. counting all the kids of zierlyn and debra we got 10 and since 5 of them are boys then HALF of them is boys..

sheesh, school kept me so busy i didnt get much time to think about these, but here goes.

Lateral Thinking #11

He has open containers of a luquid substance in his trunk and he checks every so often to make sure none of it have spilled on his diablo. ha ha, x....with a diablo

Brain Bender #11

No U Turn

QL #25

They go throught the tunnel at different times

QL #26

The boy is really his son, and sence a 16 cant pay the fine himself, he dad (aka the policeman) has to pay it for him. but y he give his own son a ticket......the world may never know.

QL # 27

well sence the last stop cost 25 cents, without even knowing the man, the bus driver can tell he's going to the last stop, eather that, or every stop after the 3rd stop costs 25 cents anyway. but then that would require that the man tell him hes going to the last stop....i placeing money on the first part of my answer

Zierlyn BT

both of them have 5 kids makeing a total of ten, Zierlyn has 5 boys and Lil' Debra has 5 Girls


~~~~~Long_Gun's Rant~~~~~

Sence i have shown the first one to true before (pardon my neersightedness) i will include a second rant for free. Enjoy

Rant #1
See…
Now this is going to be a touchy subject for all you potheads. All you fucking bastards are lobbying to legalize medicinal marijuana. I’ll tell you right now, these people do not give two shits about the medicinal benefits of medical marijuana. They just want to get high and not get bothered by the cops. That’s all it is. Don’t… let ‘em… fool you. All right.

And I’m sick and tired of “well blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, marijuana� and “do you know… they can make… jeans… out of hemp. Very durable clothing… can be made out of hemp.� Yeah, and it feels like fucking burlap you dumbass. Who the hell wants to walk around in something that feels like a potato sack? Maybe you do, I don’t.

And when they usually interview the head guy at these organizations it’s usually some fucking hacky-sack playing dumbass with fucking beady little red eyes lying through their fucking teeth and giggling like an idiot.

Don’t give me the “it’s a legitimate form of medicine.� Yeah, Great, Just what our healthcare system needs. A bunch of broke, potheads running into every fucking hospital they see trying to get free medicinal marijuana, paid for by taxpayers so they can get high Because they came up with some fucking stupid dumbass fake disease. “My eye hurts. Give me some pot, doc.� Yeah OK. You know what you do? You light up a joint and put it out in their eye. That’s my prescribed use for medicinal marijuana.

I’m sick and tired of people saying, “Well it relieves stress.� You people are the worst. One, your weak willed. Two, you’re fucking pathetic. “Oh I had a stressful day so I gotta have some pot.� Give me a fucking break. OK, you people just can’t deal with reality and that’s your fucking problem. I don’t give two shits about, “Oh I had a stressful day�, Big fucking deal. The rest of the world had a stressful day, all right. It’s called life. Deal with it. And then they try to throw that shit right back at ya. “Well I’m sure you have some addictions, might be caffeine.� Ah yeah… all of a sudden I had a cup of coffee and I’m a fucking addict. Oh, Oh yeah cream cheese too. Look out. “Getting’ high on the cream cheese.� You fucking daft bastards.

And since we’re on the topic of drugs, let’s move on up… To the crack heads. And all these other motherfuckers who have to deal with some kind of foreign substance just to get through the day. You know, this is the problem with society. Everybody’s gotta have to have a fucking quick fix. Why don’t you people just say, “you know what, this is life, life is not enjoyable. Fine I had a stressful day. You know what, I’m going to go home and sleep.� No. I gotta whip out the crack and have six lines. Nice. You people are pathetic and I hope you get shot in the head in a drug bust gone wrong. You want to talk about a stressful day, try having a bullet removed from your head. That is stressful.

And don’t think I’m picking on the “illegal drug users.� What about all you fucking parents out there that are on, you know, fifteen thousand medications, For depression… for Post- whatever. Oh, “I’m not happy, maybe I’m manic depressive� Lighten up. Give me a fucking break, no one deals with their own emotions anymore. And that’s the best. These parents who lecture their children about doing pot, yet they’re swallowing a bunch of anti-depressants and chasing it with alcohol. Nice. Stop being hypocritical, you dumb bastards. You want to lecture your kids you have to be in the right position to do it. You don’t say “One moment molly, I’ve got to go get my anti-depressants and I’ll be right back to talk to you about your drug problems� Yeah… Doesn’t anybody see the irony in that? You fucking idiots.

And it’s like the majority of America is on some kind of prescribed whatever. Like I went to the doctor and he said, “You know what you should take? You should take this and this and this. And that will take care of your runny nose of yours.� Well why don’t I just wait for my natural immune system to take over the virus and kill it. “Oh, Well I guess you could do that, but here is the prescription just in case.� Yeah Bullshit. Do you realize how many side effects there are? I swear to god, one said, side effects may include hallucinations. I’d rather have the runny nose. Fine I may have some snot on my upper lip, but at least I’m not seeing Elvis in my refrigerator. Damn it.

And especially you fuckers that are already on this shit. Don’t try pushing it off on people who doesn’t want it. Like your kid. “Maybe bobby’s got some attention deficit disorder.� You know what. Maybe the disorder lies with the parent and not the child. OK. Take a good look in the mirror and figure it out. If you don’t know, and need help: Read this again.


Rant #2

CDS.

I. LOVE. CDS. And think of myself as quite the “Audiophile.� Now, I know some folks are merely casual listeners of this art, so this particular rant is for my fellow music lovers.

What irks me about CDs are the following:

Number one:
Those fucking idiotic stickers they put on the spine of CDs! These things are annoying. You rip them off only to have some sticky residue left on your case which quickly collects all sorts of dirt, and grime, and for some reason, cat hair…from a cat you don’t OWN. It’s annoying.

Number two: “Digipaks.� These are CDs whose actual case is a flimsy piece of cardboard with printed graphics on it.
Well, what’s wrong with that?
Well, for one, the whole case--which is also the album art--is now easily susceptible to all sorts of wear and tear.
Well, we’re saving the environment by using biodegradable packaging! BULLSHIT.
Paper is cheaper than plastic. That’s why they manufacture them.

Number Three: Security tags that are not only inside the CD case, but actually stuck on the artwork itself. Then, when you try to remove it, your fucking CD artwork is either warped or ripped, and is now completely RUINED. This needs to be OUTLAWED. Put a fucking security tag on a blank piece of paper and stick it inside the booklet!
SIMPLE!
STOP RUINING MY ALBUM ARTWORK!

Number four!
Now I know this pisses off just about everyone:
COPYRIGHT PROTECTION.
You usually find out a disk has copyright protection when you put it in your disk drive and your whole fucking computer FREEZES. PERMANENTLY. BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!
ANNOYING.

And then the record companies wonder why no one is buying CDs anymore. No one is buying them because they completely took the fun out of owning CDs! If you want to increase sales, stop fucking with the packaging, get rid of those top spine stickers and those idiotic security tags, AND the copyright crap that fucks up your computer…
And more importantly, sign some good fucking bands! No one is gonna buy CDs from bands that SUCK!

Don’t make me go back to vinyl!
…Damn you all…

Blah. I've put this off this entire week becase I know I've heard this riddle before, but I can't seem to remember what the answer is. Obviously it's related to his job because it's in one of the Q&A's but I can't remember what that job is! Yargh it's driving me crazy!

QUICK LOGIC # 25

- A railway line has a double track, except in a tunnel where there was no room for a double track. A train goes into the tunnel in one direction, and another one enters in the opposite direction. Both trains are traveling fast. However they do not crash. Why?
Because they didn't enter the tunnel at the same time. If you replace "A train" with "The 7:00 train" and "another one" with "the 10:00 train" the question still makes complete sense, because nothing says the two trains entered at the same time.

A railway line has a double track, except in a tunnel where there was no room for a double track. {The 7:00 train} goes into the tunnel in one direction, and {the 10:00 train} enters in the opposite direction. Both trains are traveling fast. However they do not crash. Why?

Seems a lot clearer like that, eh?

QUICK LOGIC # 26

- A 16 year old boy was driving a moped down a one way street in the wrong direction. A policeman stopped him and gave him a ticket. The policeman paid for the ticket himself. Can you find a logical explanation for this?
I want to say it's because the policeman was the boy's father... but that just seems too easy. I don't like it. I don't like it, but I can't seem to think of another angle to approach this question from.

Maybe it wasn't a traffic ticket, but like... movie ticket? The Policeman gave the boy a movie ticket for some weird reason?

QUICK LOGIC # 27

- A bus stops three times during the ride. The ticket costs 12 cents to the first stop, 21 cents to the second stop, and 25 to the third stop. A man gets on the start of the route and gives the driver 25 cents. Without talking to the passenger, the driver gives him a ticket to the last stop. How does the driver know?
Okay, this question really threw me off because I don't know how the transit system works everywhere else, but here, if you pay for 3 zones, you get a ticket for 3 zones, you're able to get off anywhere in thoe three zones, and you don't get any change back for anything. If you only want to go one zone, and you pay for 3, you get a ticket for three, and you get off at one, wasting a bunch of money. So the guy might only want to go one stop, but only had a quarter to give.

If for some reason the bus driver is able to give change... something I've never encountered before, then I suppose it's because the guy paid in a large amount of loose change, where he could easily have made 12 or 21 cents, like 2 dimes and 5 pennies, or 4 nickels and 5 pennies etc. meaning he wanted to go 3 stops for sure.

______________________________________________________________________

For this weeks sent in Brain Teaser, we go to Zierlyn.

Q : Zierlyn and Lil' Debra have five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?

I can't answer this one, but I suppose I should have posted sooner and clarified that Yes, Zierlyn and Lil'Debra had these 5 children together, had no children before they married, and only have 5 children total. Half of which are boys. =P How?! hehehe

Some really tough ones this week!

[Kaiser]

LATERAL THINKING # 11

He's a cop, got a radar gun in his back trunk. Damn pigs!



BRAIN BENDER # 11

Easy one! No U turn


QUICK LOGIC # 25

Nobody said anything about the trains going into the tunnel at the same time so they passed safely at seperate times


QUICK LOGIC # 26

This has to be something stupid like the policeman was the dad or related to the boy


QUICK LOGIC # 27

As far as I know, no transit buses give out change. You automatically get the highest fare you paid for.



Q : Zierlyn and Lil' Debra have five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?

They're all boys rofl.

LATERAL THINKING #11
Xristyan is actually driving a truck with a trailer of livestock, like cow, horses, etc. and is hauling them to some destination where they will either win prizes at a rodeo or meat their gruesome end (pun intended ).

BRAIN BENDER #11
no U-turn

QUICK LOGIC #25
The trains enter the tunnel at different times. Or...there is a Stargate in the middle of the tunnel that instantly teleports the trains to resorts on alien planets where vacationers can forget their earthly worries and sip blood wine or enjoy some relaxing 5-D pong.

QUICK LOGIC #26
It's his kid. ROFLMAOPWNED! xD

QUICK LOGIC #27
The man had a gun and threatened the driver to let him on at reduced rate or never have kids again. Just playin =P, the man got on at the 2nd stop.
