Friday's Fast Riddle

Hi Sparky

 

[brightspark]

Hello how are you? Haven't had chance to read the rest of the thread.. have you had an exciting day here?

 

[brightspark]

here is a riddle: If a husband and wife stay up till 1 am watching last season's 24.... why is it the wife's job to get up at the crack of dawn to provide food and cartoons for the children while the husband snores blissfully?

Ah... we love 24... can't wait for season 6 to start... have seen the prequel and the online trailor... but you get it 2 weeks ahead of us... and then we are in WDW for the UK launch...

I guess we can give the answer since it's the next day...

WARNING...THERE IS MATH INVOLVED

Craig jumps 10 inches at a time. We assume he can only jump 10 inches, no more, no less.

Domenic jumps 6 inches at a time (no more, no less).

The total length is 144 inches out and 144 inches back.

On the run out, Craig has to jump 15 times (to 150 inches, or 6 inches more than necessary). Domenic jumps exactly 24 times and turns around.

Same thing on the return trip...but because Craig went that extra 6 inches, he is now behind and DOMENIC WINS!!!

Yup. I never would have solved it.

No nor me... oh well... I have other talents...

Hi madscouser, welcome to the riddle. So did you work the answer out on your own, or see it in the posts above???

I'm not sure how many posts you need to make in order to send a PM, but if you stick around here for a while, I'm sure you'll soon have enough!!!

Don't think there are new riddles over the weekend, but there should be one on Monday sometime!!

Well, if you are meant to live '3 score and ten years' , then my mid-life point is in the summer

Although, you could argue that if you live to 70, and you have 3 'ages (early, middle and later) , then you are 'middle aged' from about 23 years until 46 !!
