Happy new year everybody~! (Or whoever comes to cbox anymore xDDDD)
How about some puzzles? :D
1. There are 10 siblings. Let's say me, Alice, is the 8th child. The oldest daughter is the second son's younger sister and the third son's older sister. The fourth son is the second daughter's older brother and the oldest daughter's little brother. There are no boys in between the third and fourth daughters. Got all that? Ok then, tell me, is the third-youngest child a boy or a girl?
2. Here's one for math lovers. So, I went to this store and bought this really cool fountain pen. I got it for 10% off the original price of $3,000. I brought the pen over to the cbox and showed it too Boot, who absolutely fell in love with it too. She offered to pay me 10% more than what I had payed for the pen. I love money, so I agreed to her offer. Did I make a profit? If so, how much money did I make?
3. There's a small city out in the country. Sadly, accidents and crime in the city have sky-rocketed in recent years, but the authorities noticed that there's one place in town that has a higher injury and death rate than the other parts of town. Which is it? The monument, the fire station, the park, the police station, the crossroads, the church, the cemetery, the hospital, or the school?
4. UGH, I am SO frustrated! I have these power lines outside my house, and the birds have taken to flying up and sitting on the wires. It's really annoying! Each time I clap my hands, half of the birds will get frightened and fly away, but one bird will always come back! I've been standing outside on my lawn clapping my hands all day, but the number of birds always ends up right back where it started! So, how many birds were on the power lines to start with?
5. I went to London for vacation and took a ride on a double-decker bus while I was there. The tour guide on the upper level told me that, including myself, there were 25 tourists in the lower level and 40% as many tourists in the upper level. How many people total were on the bus?
6. I'm furious! Somebody ate my piece of chocolate cake, and I was saving it for later! WHICH ONE OF YOU COMMITTED THIS AWFUL CRIME?!?!
You all responded in this order:
Lacey: I didn't eat it!
Rice: Neither Lacey or Shoe ate it.
Boot: I didn't eat it either!
Shoe: Boot is telling the truth.
Somebody isn't telling the truth, and that person is the cake-gobbler. So, who ate the cake?
~~~~~~~
That's it for now! I wanna see if anyone can get them. xD (Boot probably knows all of them)
If you guys like them, I'll post more! They're fun!
