I like to tell them to others, and I like to solve them. Hence, we ought have a place for puzzle swapping. And here it is. I'd prefer keeping these puzzles away from the long, drawn-out brainwracking ones you may have seen in Story Board. All puzzles, brainteasers, mental excercises, riddles and the lot posted here should not require excessive amounts of question and answer between the puzzler and the puzzlee. They should be more of the sort that you can sit around by yourself and work out until you get to an answer. I have a great deal already I'd like to share, but anyone is welcome to post. The only problem I've thought of so far is dealing with the answers. I think that the best way to deal with that would be to put the answer in the same post as the puzzle, separated with a form feed. That way, wimpy people who don't want to think at all can satisfy their curiosity right away, and those who wish to work on it can do so until they get the answer or until their willpower runs out; whichever comes first. This method should be easier than posting a few days later or having to e-mail the person who posted the puzzle. So that's that. On to the puzzling! ================================================================================ Note 34.1 Puzzles, Brainteasers and Such 1 of 137 LEVVAX::GKB3790 "I have a home!" 25 lines 5-SEP-1993 20:09 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This one I just heard last night and have been itching to tell someone. It's one of those you stew over for a good while, then suddenly whack yourself in the head when you realize how simple the answer is. --There is a rancher who heads into town every two weeks to buy supplies. The trip to town takes two days; as does the trip back. The rancher leaves on Friday, but returns on the exact same Friday that he left on. How is this possible? --The man from the country at the top of the Himalayas came by plane to meet the man from the Far East who was wearing a chair round his neck.

The man, who was married, was shipwrecked with his wife and another man. The husband was injured very badly and remembered little of the experience, save his wife died and the taste of Albatross soup that the other man fed him to keep him alive. Upon seeing the soup on the menu, and remembering its taste, which was delicious, he orders it.

When we were running them over in Story Board, they were confusing enough that each one really needed it's own topic. I assumed that if those sorts of puzzles were fair game here, they would mess up the continuity. i.e. people coming out of the blue with questions and answers all the time. It gets messy. So, is there any way to put this back, or is it going to have to stay here. From #1- > I'd prefer keeping these puzzles away from the long, drawn-out >brainwracking ones you may have seen in Story Board. All puzzles, >brainteasers, mental excercises, riddles and the lot posted here >should not require excessive amounts of question and answer between the >puzzler and the puzzlee.
