Logic Questions

Pureiron · 03-07-2010, 03:34 PM

You're driving a bus from the city to a local school. A pretty blonde haired girl gets on with 5 friends. At the next stop a set of blue-eyed twins get on and 2 kids get off. 7 more kids get on at the next stop and only 1 get off. At the last stop a dark haired boy and two of his friends get on. What color is the bus driver's hair?

How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying?

My hair is blonde, so blonde.

He married them before polygamy was outlawed in Michigan.

No

A man was in a small town for the day, and needed a haircut. He noticed that there were only two barbers in town, and decided to apply a bit of logical deduction to choosing the best one. Looking at their shops, he saw that the first one was very neat and the barber was clean shaven with a nice haircut. The other shop was a mess, and the barber there needed a shave and had a bad cut besides. Why did the man choose to go to this barber?

Because he assumed that since there were only 2 barbers they must have cut each others hair, so he figured the neat barber did bad work.

Yup

I had heard that one before.

There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.
How come?

Two girls were born to the same mother, on the same day, at the same time, in the same month and year and yet they're not twins.
How can this be?

Here's a variation on a famous puzzle by Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
A group of 100 soldiers suffered the following injuries in a battle: 70 soldiers lost an eye, 75 lost an ear, 85 lost a leg, and 80 lost an arm.
What is the minimum number of soldiers who must have lost all 4?

There were two pears on the tree. One fell on the ground one stayed on the tree.

They are part of a set of triplets.

I don't understand the first question...are you saying there are pears on the pear tree?

Could be triplets or a pair within a set of more babies

70

That would make sense if he said there were neither 'pairs' on the tree or the ground

I don't get this one.

He's a Priest!

Meaning he married those women to other people.
