Wise words indeed, my friend. I got the fox and chicken across OK, but my grain was stolen and eaten by a hungry, hungry hippo.
Anyway, we're off husbandry now and onto electrical maintenance. Can you help me with my lightbulb problem? I haven't had an acceptable answer yet...

Next problem - There are 3 lightbulbs in my cellar, with the 3 switches outside at the top of the stairs. I need to find out which switch operates each bulb, but I am only allowed to enter the cellar once. What can I do? |
Number the light switches 1 to 3, switch no 1 on for 15 seconds or so then switch off, switch no 2 on and then go to cellar. No 2 is the one switched on. Then feel the other 2, the warm one will be no 1

if the light its on, its switch 2, if its off touch the bulb if its warm, its switch 1 and if its cold, its switch 3

Girls 2, Boys 0....
I`m lost in the woods. Ahead of me the path splits into two. One path leads to safety, whilst the other leads to certain death, but I don`t know which is which.
Each path has a guard. One guard always tells the truth and the other always tells lies, but again I don`t know which is the honest one and which is the liar.
How can I find out which is the safe path by only asking one question to one guard?

Ask them a simple maths question, like 1+ 1?
The one that always lies will give a false answer hopefully

Your answer sounds right cazza
My answer was rubbish and based on asking 2 questions lol

ive always hated this one...
right you ask one of them, does the left road lead to safety according to the other guard, if the answer is yes, you should turn right, if the answer is no then you should turn left..
dont ask me to explain it

Divvy up the golf balls into groups of 3 and weigh 2 groups. If the first 2 groups weigh the same, you know the heavier ball is in the group you haven't weighed. Weigh 2 of the balls in the now known group... again if they weigh the same then then you know the heaviest is the one not weighed, If not then the scales will tell you which ball is heaviest.

More advice required please!
As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
Every wife had seven sacks
Every sack had seven cats
Every cat had seven kits
Kits, cats, sacks and wives...
...should I report this guy to the authorities for polygamy and animal cruelty?
16.10.2007, 12:45 quote
No to reporting for Polygamy...as the man may not be a UK resident and therefore it may be acceptable to have 7 wives.
No to reporting him for animal cruelty as its actually the wives holding the sacks with the cats in.
So a big fat no is my answer anyway

Thanks everybody. Perhaps you can also help me with this one.
I find myself stuck in the middle of a dispute at work, and I`m wondering what it is I can do to get out of it. Basically, there are clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right.
Should I take sides, or stay neutral? I don`t want to upset the jokers, but there`s nothing scarier than a vengeful clown, is there?
Any ideas?
