1) You manufacture brain wave entrainment CDs for companies that sell self-improvement products. You are at the post office, with ten boxes of them ready to close up and ship out, but you have a problem. Nine of the boxes contain CDs that are designed to put the listener into an "alpha" or relaxing state, and one is full of Cds that are designed to put the user into a deeper "delta" state, for deep sleep. They look identical, and you forgot to label them.

There is one difference, however. You remember that the "alpha" Cds weigh 15 grams, and because different CD "blanks were used, the "delta" Cds weigh 18 grams. Unfortunately, you can't feel the difference in weight by lifting them.

The post office does have a scale. It costs one dollar each time you weigh something, though, and you want to keep your costs down. How do you use the scale as few times as possible to determine which are the "delta" CDs?

Dawson's got #1 right - corn on a cob.

as for that annoying maths one, label the boxes 1 through 10. Put one brainwave entrainment cd from box number one on the scale. then, on top of that, put two cds from box number two. then put three from box number three on those, four from box four, and so on. and Dawson got that right too :D

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?


3) Nine friends go outside and play in a field with lots and lots of snow. All the friends decide to make a snowman each. They all admire their creations and are all very proud, until a very strong gust of wind comes along and destroys three snowmen. How many snowmen are left are in the end?
