My question to you is where is the other dollar?

In Jimmy Hoffa's Pocket?

I dunno, I hated math

[jakol]

tax?...


actually there is no other dollar...
if the 3 brothers paid 9 dollars(10-1) each = to $27 dollars the bell got $2 =25 dollars for the hotel.

I hate math, and I'm certain it makes me too. I was always more of a class clown person than a learner.

Capmaster, dont' get any ideas.

[northcat_8]

I was never much of a student either. I skipped class as often as I could, in math class I usually slept...for whatever reason math always came easy for me. I thought when I got in college I would have to work harder....but it wasn't until my senior year when I had to take a class called "Real Analysis" that I actually had to pay attention in class...

English and history...now those were a different story...but math and science (especially physics) have always been easy.

It's late, this is an easy one....

If it takes six men six days to dig six holes, how long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

[adam]

8hrs.

[northcat_8]

sorry.

[bottle-necked]

Another easy one.....

If 33-1/3 is 1/3 of a dollar then what is 1/3 of a dollar and a half?

[adam]

Then I'm guessing its a trick question. There is no such thing as half a hole?

[Sifaga]

The Hotel managers got the other dollar

half a hole ??????

[Sifaga]

50 cents ?

[northcat_8]

Good one, I had not heard that one before, good fraction example.

You're on your way to a meeting and you get a flat tire. After removing the flat you put all the lugnuts inside the hubcap, but it accidentally tips and the lugnuts fall off a cliff. Its too far to go on foot to the meeting and the road is deserted so forget about hitchhiking. How do you get to the meeting on time?

[Sifaga]

you cant

[northcat_8]

correct...you can't have "half a hole'


@flattire~

You're already late...so you would have to fly opposite the rotation of earth at the speed of light to be on time....or so theorized Einstein.

Tim and Tom are natural brothers, (neither adopted). They have the same parents and the exact same birthday, but they are not twins...how is this possible?

[bottle-necked]

I had that happen to me one time. I had a flat tire in front of the nut house and there was this nut guy looking out through the fence watching me change my flat tire. I accidently kicked the lug nuts into the storm drain. Ranting and raving and wondering how I was going to get home the nut guy looked through the fence and told me to take 1 lug nut off each of the other wheels and put on that wheel. I said, hay that's a pretty smart idea, I though you were a nut guy, how did you think of that? He said, I'm crazy, not stupid. haha.

(not really, just a joke I heard a long time ago.)

[adam]

Hehe, I accidentally made it a trick question. I edited the question so it makes sense now. Your not late when you get the flat. There is still time for you to get to the meeting. There is an actual answer, it is not a trick question.

sorry

EDIT: bottle-necked got it anyway.

[jakol]

i'll continue driving, anyway i'm driving a sixteen wheeler truck.

A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.

[adam]

The man had the hiccups. The barkeep pulled the gun on him to scare it out of him, and it worked.

Now answer mine

[Sifaga]

triplets

You are playing tennis and you drop your only tennis ball down a very deep hole. Its too deep for you to reach it, and the hole is tight enough that you wouldn't be able to force a stick or anything like that underneath the ball. Its a hole in a concrete slab so you can't dig anywhere around it. How do you get it out?

[Sifaga]

I'm more powerful than god, more evil than the devil, rich people want me, poor people have me, and if you eat me, you die. What am I?

[adam]

nothing.

[Sifaga]

hahahaha



you could pour water in and it should float up or put your lips over the hole and suck :P

[bottle-necked]

Fill the hole with water?????

[adam]

Yes I was looking for filling it with water. I guess you could suck really hard too.

Walk on the living, they dont even mumble. Walk on the dead they mutter and grumble. What are they?
