A Coffin?....

Here's another one.......

 

If it rained for forty days and forty nights, and the animals entered in pairs at a rate of thirty pairs per day, how many days did it take Moses to get all three hundred and sixty animals into the ark?  

7 days?

Nope, sorry Soozy... 

6 days ? and wasnt it Noah ?

Moses was sat on his arse, picking his nose, watching Noah deal with all the animals.

Yep it was Noah....Moses didn't put his oar in ........... 

Another one............

 

If I leave London at 1pm on Monday, arriving in Manchester 3hours later, and leave Manchester at 11am on Thursday, arriving back in London 5 hours later, will I ever have been at exactly the same spot at exactly the same time of day during both journeys?

I am deleting this cos.............even I (.) do not understand the answer....

OK another one...

 

Two fathers and two sons enter a shop and spend £1.50 each.  The shopkeeper takes £4.50.  What happened to the rest?

Is it a grandfather, father and son?

  Yogi! xx

Another one........

 

A horse ploughs a field all day, if he takes twenty four steps to reach one end of the field to the other, how many hoof prints will the horse leave in the last furrow?

Yay!!  I'm usually rubbish at working these out.

   (So am I, but I have the book and answers .) 

None because the plough he's pulling will have ploughed them all up?

I know this one has been deleted, but I think the answer is Yes. If the question was slightly altered to say if I leave London at 1 pm on Monday arriving in Manchester at 4 pm, and another train on the same day leaves Manchester at 11 am arriving in Manchester at 4 pm, at some point in the journey the two trains must pass each other. So the trains will have been at the same spot at the same time.

 Yay, you are right foxy...

The answer is Yes.....If, for example, two people made the journey on the same day, they would pass, even travelling at radically different speeds.

Another one.....

 

I'm really, really tired, so I set my alarm clock for noon, wind it up, and go to bed when the evening news finishes at 10.30...........How much sleep will I get? 

Sadly only 1 1/2 hours Wind up clocks don't know the difference between midnight and noon...

misstakes.

 

How many mistakes are there in the sentence above?

More of a riddle really, but this is from the film Die Hard: With a Vengeance.

 

You are given a 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug in front of a fountain. You need to measure out exactly 4 gallons of water. How?

 

What sentence?

three?   sentence  contains, mistakes

Fill the 5 gallon jug.

Pour 3 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug.

So now the 5 gallon jug has 2 gallons left in it.

Empty the 3 gallon jug.

Pour the remaining 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug.

So now the 3 gallon jug has 2 gallons in it.

Fill the 5 gallon jug.

Pour 1 gallon into the 3 gallon jug so that the 3 gallon jug is full.

There are 4 gallons left in the 5 gallon jug.

 

 

Damn the internet! 

fill the 5 gallon jug and pour into 3 gallon jug, then empty 3 jug, pour the remaining 2 gallons from the 5 jug into the 3 jug and leave this in there, fill the 5 jug again and pour itno the 3 jug. You will only be able to pour in one gallon (because there is already 2 gallons in there) which leaves 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug

What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?

 Yes Machel.

thank you,  i enjoy these sorts of puzzles - anymore?

I'll add another one to make it 4 mistakes  - the 4th one being that the sentence only refers to 2.

I am a window, I am a lamp, I am clouded, I am shining and I am coloured; set in white I fill with water and overflow. I say much but I have no words. What am I?

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm first thoughts are moon and glass but they don't fit all of the descriptions

An eye?
