There is no way I could come up with enough quality material on my own, hence the use of net-based inspiration (amongst other sources).
That is also the main reason behind the no googling rule. ;)
The last questions I posted weren't hard enough for you, Confus-ed?
No googling!!! No fair!! I need to use it in case of brainfarts!!!! https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

Some I get within moments, many others bother me for days, that's why I never subscribed to the thread until your 'sojourn' (Sp?), so I could consider them (without mail sending me the answers) , I reckon I get about 50% before I give up - but sometimes it takes a while :DQuote:

The answer to the rabbit thing is "halfway".
After that, he's running out.
I asked a similar one in here somewhere. :cool:
3 pts Adept. Sorry if it's a repeat question - I couldn't check out all 287 pages!!
So I got the rabbit question .. finally ! at 6am this morning :D .. this is why I never played - shows how sloooow my mental process can be sometimes :rolleyes: :D
The bank where Elmer and Pearl live just got a shiny, new ATM machine. So, they decided they had to get one of them-there cards so they could get their money any time--even on Sunday-going-to-Church day.
But, when the manager said pick a 7-digit number that you won't forget, and don't use your birthday, etc. they had a problem. They were not good at remembering stuff. What to do! What to do! Then the light came on!
Elmer picked 1058421.
Pearl picked 6060247.
They exchange information on how they would remember their numbers.
Pearl said, "That's a real handy number, Elmer. But I think mine is more timely."
Can you figure out what they were using for a memory jog?
___________
Elmers number is: 10-5-8-4-2-1
The number of fingers & thumbs on both hands; fingers and thumbs on one hand; fingers on both hands; fingers on one hand; thumbs on both hands; thumbs on one hand. Pearl said this was HANDy.
Pearl's number is 60-60-24-7.
The number of seconds in a minute, the number of minutes in an hour, the number of hours in a day, and the number of days in a week. She said this was TIMEly.

My apologies for omitting that each explanation was worth 3 points.
How about 10 digits, 5 on each hand. 8 fingers, 4 on each hand. 2 thumbs, one on each hand.
You gots the other 3 points, see?Quote:
