GAME: MindTrap

I'm slow today.

A man was picking peaches for the boys and girls in his neighbourhood.

He picked enough peaches to fill a box containing 72 peaches.

He weighed the box on a scale and found that the box and peaches together weighed 10 Kg.

He then decided to pick enough peached for the kids in the next neighborhood so he added another 32 peaches to the box.

On the 2nd weighing, the box and peaches weighed 13 Kg.

What, if anything, is wrong with the above situation?

I've heard this before somewhere and I still say the answer is bull. Supposedly a ring, but would someone please tell me how a ring is a container? Someone legally sane.

Now that you're back, would you go figure out the uncle one, it's hurting my brain. ;)

You know, you're right about that one.

Confusing and unsatisfactory.

Should I remove it or keep it and give you the points anyhow?

I'll let you decide, since you answered correctly first.

Not fair to make him give up his own points ! Let him keep them and go on.

A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building.

Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building.

In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator -- or if it was raining that day -- he goes back to his floor directly.

However, if there is nobody else in the elevator and it hasn't rained, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his room.

Explain this strange behaviour.

Nothing's unfair: he gets to choose what to do about it.

I don't like the question either now that I've though about it, but it's his call to make. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
