Riddle me this! *Fresh and minty!*

[oldkicker]

There are eight mints. They are all the same size and color. One mint weighs slightly more than the others and it is poisonous. You have a balanced scale and can only use it twice.

Using the scale, how can you find the poisoned mint?

Yesterday's:

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower will win. Reluctantly, the brothers started out on this unconventional "race". After wandering aimlessly for days, they came across a wise man and asked him for advice. After hearing the advice of the wise man, the brothers jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city. What advice did the wise man offer?

Trade Camels with each other.

One Yester-Woo-Hoo!

Marla!

Camel Dung to you, Bernie!!!!



That's Arabic for "Go scratch your camel"!


Get the picture......

 

[oldkicker]

I've always had an itchy camel......;-)

Sandi - he got 'em!!! :0D

 

[dianeschlicht]

GROOOOOOAN. I got up for THIS one????????
Morning riddlers!

 

[oldkicker]

Sorry, Diane......

Here's another text smiley for y'all...

=)

Good morning friends!

I spent yesterday with phrases like "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your shorts."

Good news on the baseball front.......Matt's team scored an impressive 14-4 victory after being behind initially and move to round 3 of the tournament. Thanks for all the good wishes...please keep them coming for tomorrows game!

 

[gina2000]

I have a better idea.

Why not feed those camels the mints.....and be done with the whole thing!

Then I can sit here and eat all the bon bons I want.....Hercule Poirot needn't be called (despite what you've heard, he doesn't do camels....) and everyone is happy......

 

[gina2000]

That's Gene Kelly with his top hat on in Singin' in the Rain!

LOL LOL LOL


Congrats to your Matt, Gail!!!

Just about 2 weeks left....and Gail and I have breakfast at the diner of her choice! Can you imagine the bedlam????

 

[dianeschlicht]

Congratulations, Matt!

I think that smiley is either a horse or a rabbit.

 

[oldkicker]

Wowzah! That's quite a win, Gail - I hope they are on a roll!!! Best of luck for tomorrow too!

Mints for camels???? Why does the phrase 'throwing good money after bad' come to mind?!?!?!? :-O :-D

 

[oldkicker]

Good guesses for that smiley.....I have a more patriotic theme in mind!

 

[gina2000]

Uncle Sam!

 

[paras4ri]

Uncle Sam!!!

Bedlam it will be Gina....especially since I sent that very same idea for the mints to OK! We think alike.....the possibilities are endless!

 

[oldkicker]

There ya' go, Gina and Gail! Uncle Sam it is!

You guys are having breakfast?? Way cool!

 

[gina2000]

Yeah....and we don't eat the mints afterwards!!! You know what they say about those bowls of mints at the register, doncha????

 

[Snowwark]

Good morning Bernie and riddle friends.

Thanks to a very sweet DISer, who I won't name (Gina), I don't need mints, I've got Sweet Pea!!!
