King Tut died 120 years after King Eros was born.

In what year was King Tut born?
__________
King Tut was born in 20 B.C. There were 120 years between the birth of King Eros and the death of King Tut, but since their ages amounted to only 100 years, there must have been 20 years when neither existed. This would be the period between the death of King Eros, 40 B.C., and the birth of King Tut, 20 B.C.
20 B.C. There are 120 years between King Eros' birth and King Tut's death but the two only lived 100 years combined. Therefore there are twenty years when neither was alive. 20 years after 40 B.C. is 20 B.C.Quote:

Suppose there is a river that has no current. Buck Shot got into his canoe and paddled upstream from his dock to the river's bend five kilometers away. At that point he turned around and paddled back to his dock. He checked his watch and saw that the trip took 40 minutes.
Now, suppose the river has a current of two kilometers per hour, and Buck makes exactly the same trip.
With the river flowing at two kilometers per hour, will the trip be longer than 40 minutes, shorter than 40 minutes, or will it take the same amount of time?
__________
The trip will take longer than 40 minutes.
The canoe will travel two kph slower upstream, but will travel two kph faster downstream. However, the trip will take longer than 40 minutes because the canoe will be slowed down for a longer period of time going upstream than the time it gains going downstream.
It will be longer...because going upstream will take longer, and slow the trip down consierably, regardless of the down stream time made up...Quote:

Ben and Carl were in a 100 metre race.
When Ben crossed the finish line, Carl was only at the 90 metre mark. Ben suggested they run another race. This time, Ben would start ten metres behind the starting line.
All other things being equal, will Carl win, lose, or will it be a tie in the second race?
__________
Carl will lose again.
In the second race, Ben started ten metres back. By the time Carl reaches the 90 metre mark, Ben will have caught up to him. Therefore, the final ten metres will belong to the faster of the two. Since Ben is faster than Carl, he will win the final 10 metres and of course the race.

The coast guard ship pulled over next to the drifting boat from which Sid Shady was frantically waving.
The sun was beating down as a hot and perspiring Shady jumped aboard the coast guard ship and began begging for water. After several glasses, Shady recounted the last several days.
"Lance and I were out fishing six days ago when both our engine and radio broke down. We've been drifting out here ever since. Three days ago we ran out of water. Lance started to drink the sea water and went crazy. While going below deck, he fell down the ladder, hit his head and killed himself."
Shadow examined Lance's body and confirmed that he had indeed died from a blow to the head. Shadow turned to Shady and said, "Based on your account I believe Lance was murdered."
Why?
__________
Shady said they had run out of water three days ago. If that was the case, Shady would have been dehydrated and would not have been perspiring when he jumped aboard the coast guard ship.
So,...
No one is taking on #224?
If Sid Shady were really dehydrated he wouldn't be sweating. They couldn't have run out of water.Quote:

As Mochodkis advised me this weekend, the two 6-step answers for Question #224 are actually 7-steps.
I'm correcting the original, giving Machodkis a bonus point, and considering the possibility of just cancelling Question #224 altogether at this point.
Any opinions?
I'm of the opinion that eating yellow snow is a bad idea.Quote:
