Sorry but that's a :censored: riddle because of this line:

"The only things around were wood, sand, water, logs, bricks, concrete, and a table"

The other person was not in the list of only objects!

Kash Mountain and Supersub solved 2 and 1 respectively. i shall upload another 3 riddles tonight . later. :)

1) What object is comparable to Europium yet in its grouping is more comparable to Flourine?


2) Two men are building a house together. One man is about 40, the other is about 25. The younger one is contantly bragging about how much stronger he is than the other man. One day, the older man could not take it anymore. He came up to the younger man and said, "I bet you one hundred dollars that I can push something in a wheelbarrow 30 yards that you can't push". The younger man took that challenge, thinking he could make an easy hundred dollars. They marked off the the 30 yards and got thier wheelbarrow. The older man got to choose the object. The only things around were wood, sand, water, logs, bricks, concrete, and a table. The older man chose his thing and easily pushed the wheelbarrow 30 yards. The younger one, however, could not push the wheelbarrow even one foot. What did the old man choose to put in the wheelbarrow?

No actually it wasn't specific, it says "the only things around", no mention of him or them, not that it owuld make any difference anyway. If you're going to try and be a smart :censored: at least get your facts straight.   :rasp

1) Five minutes after midnight of April 13th, 2004, a heavy rain fell in Melbourne. What is the probability that, 72 hours later, it would be sunny there? Explain answer.

2) There was a racing horse who won every single race it had entered. The owner hired a guard to watch the horse every single night. One day the guard comes to work early exclaiming to have a dream last night where the horse gets hit by a train. The owner fires him...why?

3) There was a red house made of red bricks
There was a pink house made of pink bricks
There was a purple house made of purple bricks
There was a blue house made of blue bricks
What was the green house made of?

1. Is the time of 00.05 in GMT? Therefore making 72 hours later around 11am in Melbourne and perfectly plausible for it to be sunny.

1. I assume the time is referring to lcoal time and therefore the probability is zero as it isn't sunny at Midnight.

Nifty solves #2 and #3 while Addy solves #1.

72 hours divided by 24 is 3 days.
so 3 days later, its still gonna be midnight hence zero sunlight :)

An eel can enter the green glass door but a fish can't. Why is this?
