You can say it... I am such a geek.
You're standing at three light switches at the bottom of stairs to the attic. Each one corresponds to one of three lights in the attic, but you cannot see the lights from where you stand. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position. How can you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

Turn on the first two switches and leave them on for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn off the second switch, leaving the first switch on. Now go upstairs to the attic. The light that is on is connected to the first switch. A light that is off but has a bulb that is still warm to the touch is connected to the second switch. The light that is both off and cold to the touch is connected to the third switch, which was never turned on.

A man is trapped in a room with only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door, there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing sun instantly fries anyone or anything that enters. Through the second door, there is a fire breathing dragon.
How does the man escape?
ANSWER: The man waited for nightfall. Once it was dark he walked through the door to the room made of magnifying glass.

Way to go Colleen and thanks for not giving the full answers. I wonder if anyone else knows why your answers are right. Still working on your fish problem! :)
This is not a brain teaser as such, but a bar room bet that I love to win. Riddle me this, Batman, "Of the United States of America, which states are: 1. Furthest North, 2. Furthest South, 3. Furthest West, 4 Furthest East?"
Answers:
1. Alaska!!!!! Congrats to my old neighbor John Baker of Kotzebue, Alaska for winning the Iditarod 2011!
2. Hawaii
3. Alaska!!!! Is further West than all other states including Hawaii
4. Alaska!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alaska's western most Aleutian Islands are actually in the Eastern Hemisphere, making it the only State of the United States to be in both the Western and Eastern hemispheres. By being the Eastern Hemisphere, it makes it the furthest East too!
If you make this bet, make sure to carry a small atlas or have one available on your phone to prove that Attu is in the East. Oh, and make sure you don't piss off the wrong people when betting too.
One more geography question?
Name all the states and their capitals WEST of Los Angeles, California. I'll let you look them up yourself. There are probably more than you think. Six is the magic number you are looking for - six states, six capitals including California.

---A woman has two sets of twins twice. How many children does she
have?
13 years ago. Rating: 1 | |
Sorry I stand by my answer. By definition...1 set of twins is 2 babies X 2 sets = 4 babies X twice = 8 babies.
She has 2 sets to begin with, a set is 2 things, you have a set of candles, 2. If it meant 1, then one would say, I have "A" candle.

Answer: The words are Start and Tart.

- Duplicate -> Solitary
- Contemplated -> Employed
