#5 A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?
#6 A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.
#7 If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?
#8 Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
#9 What has no content yet you are still able to see it?
#10 On a fine sunny day a ship was in the harbor. All of a sudden the ship began to sink. There was no storm and nothing wrong with the ship yet it sank right in front of the spectators eyes.
What caused the ship to sink?
#11 While walking down the street I met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane and in this riddle I told his name. What is the mans name?
#5 The farmer, he carried a full sack, the hired help carried two sacks with nothing in them.
#6 The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper. (why is this stated in the riddle?)
#7 You passed the person in second place, so you moved from 3rd place to Second place.
#8 Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
#9 Empty container?
#10 The ship passed the horizon, hence it would appear to sink, but it's just going over the curvature of the earth (though the ship would have to be huge to make this work I'm thinkin...)
#11 I've heard this one before, but again, I can't remember the asnwer...
btw, I just unearthed a minnesota trivia game my youth group tried a couple times to sell on a garage sale, never sold, so it's been sitting around, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a minnesota trivia thread, I could post a few questions a day, and the answers the next. Works out well for me, I don't even have to read the answers, so I can play along (guess you guys would just have to trust I didn't read them)
#10 - People boarded the ship and it only sank a little? Although a submarine is prolly right, I can't accept it being called a 'ship'. Webster's calls it an underwater 'boat'
o.k. jump to end of thread to make sure i didn't read somebody else and change my answrs but i think 5)the farmer...the helpers sacks are just sacks 6)I think you goofed and aswrd this one...he wrote "your exact weight" 7)2nd place....duh 8)yesterday, today , tmrw 9)HOLE 10)Low tide??? hmm tough one 11) I knew this one...andrew histry 1) stab in dark? Duluth on the pier? (sounds like a vit. cache to me) histry 2) stab in dark? battle creek...nah...LeSoixer area?/
#5 The farmer's load was heavier. His hired help only carried two sacks, while the farmer carries one sack, but his sack is a sack of grain. The hired help only carried 2 sacks - both empty.
#6 The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.
#7 You would be in 2nd. You passed the guy in second place, not first.
#8 Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
#9 A Hole!
#10 The "Submarine" Captain ordered the crew to dive.
#13 A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys.
How can this be possible?
#14 Bill bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts.
Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?
#15 What is the greatest worldwide use of cowhide?
#16 Scientists have proven that cats have more hair on one side then their other side. Some people believe that this is because when cats lay on their side they need insulation from the cold on the floor or ground. Which side of a cat has more hair?
#17 You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.
Explain how the tractor got there?
#18 You are at a river. With you are a Chicken, Bag of Grain, and a Wolf. You have to cross the river in your canoe but can only take one with you at a time. You can't leave the chicken with the grain. He'll eat it. You can't leave the wolf with the chicken. He'll eat it. How do you get everything over and intact?
18- drop the chicken off at the other side. go back and get the grain. drop the grain off and bring the chicken back. leave the chicken there and drop the wolf off. row back and bring the chicken last
12) HI 13)All are boys 14)score b4 the game -right OTS hehe 15)Keep a cow alive? 16)outside 17) lake was frozen 18) move the chick back and forth..hard to explain..I know how...but i'd perfer this method better..Kill the damn chicken, kill the wolf, and make 3 trips....or you could take the chicken over...go back and get the wolf...then you take the chicken back with you to get the grain and then you leave the chicken ...take the grain....leave the grain go back and get the chicken....
see i told you just kill the damn chicken...much easier!
I have seven children and half are left handed. Three are truly left handed and one is ambidextrous. So I consider that half of my children are left handed.
12 - ditto what Kids said 13 - All of them are boys 14 - ditto what Terry said 15 - ditto what Kids said 16 - ditto what Kids said 17 - ditto what Terry said 18 - ditto what Terry said
I have to get here earlier so there are unanswered questions left.
Okay. I sorta get it. It's knowing the opposite is true if they both give you the same answer.
And BTW - I'm sticking with daffodil for the yellow turning to brown. I'm too hungry for spring to think bananas.
LOL :)

#11 While walking down the street I met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane and in this riddle I told his name. What is the mans name?
Numbers 6 and 10 have no question. They are statements. Anything missing?
#5 - Not enough information. Sacks the same size? How many hired hands were there?
#7 - 1st place
#8 - My mom always said wash day, ironing day, cleaning day. Bet that's not it.
#9 - An empty glass?
#11 - Andrew
Ok sorry terry... fixed...
#6, it looks like the answer is included in the question - your exact weight
#7 January 21, January 22, January23
#9, I am thinking like Terry
#11 Ditto
#9 is a hole
#7 is second place
#5 The farmer, he carried a full sack, the hired help carried two sacks with nothing in them.

#9
This is fun :)
The farmer carried the heaviest load because the hired hand only carried sacks.
#5
#10 - submarine
#11 - still agreeing with Terry - Andrew
good night all you puzzle solvers and to the puzzle master
#7 You would be in second place.
#10 The horizon
#11 His name was Aman. ...I met a man.
Night night leelabell :)
I have to think about the others.
Head hit the pillow and I went duh! You'd be in 2nd place.
the sinking ship would have to a submarine.
Okay...and as I read backslogging, I get the farmer thing. Sacks are lighter than a sack of grain.

This is almost as bad as waiting for the clues every night during the hunt.
When I fall asleep at my desk tomorrow, OTS, I'll know who to thank. :-)
Goodnight x 2 or 3 or whatever.
SCDs!
:) Night night Terry
okay, a couple minnesota history/trivia questions for the day
#1 Where can you find the largest pelican in the world?
#2 Where did the 1884 assassination attempt on Sitting Bull take place?
Pelican Rapids?
HIS#1 Pelican Rapids?
lol I don't either, I haven't turned the cards over, I want to play as much as the next person, we'll find out tomorrow at 11.
HIS#1 I like the idea of pelican rapids... or is it talking about a giant pelican statue?
HIS#2 No idea really.. I'm thinking somewhere west of here though.. willmar?
I don't know the answer to the Sitting Bull question....not going to cheat either.
Wasn't Sitting Bull in Prison around the 1884 time period?
I'm actually not aware of much about Sitting Bull, that'd be a pitty if there was a good clue about it... Good to do these trivia things, learn more.
5-8 have been answered as far as I can see.
#9 - Light?
#10 - People boarded the ship and it only sank a little? Although a submarine is prolly right, I can't accept it being called a 'ship'. Webster's calls it an underwater 'boat'
#11 - Tim
I believe OT's idea of Pelican Rapids is correct. If I remember correctly there is a concrete replica of a pelican there.
And the assassination attempt of Sitting Bull in 1884 was at the Grand Opera House in St. Paul.
Whoooaaa..
#9 My head? ;)
his name Aman?
o.k. jump to end of thread to make sure i didn't read somebody else and change my answrs

#5 The farmer's load was heavier. His hired help only carried two sacks, while the farmer carries one sack, but his sack is a sack of grain. The hired help only carried 2 sacks - both empty.

#7 You would be in 2nd. You passed the guy in second place, not first.
#8 Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
#9 A Hole!
#10 The "Submarine" Captain ordered the crew to dive.
#11 and drew = Andrew
#12 What state is surrounded by the most water?
#13 A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys.
How can this be possible?
#14 Bill bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts.
Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?

#12 - Florida
#17 - The tractor was driven over ice when the lake froze
#18 - You take the grain and the chicken and wolf will follow.
#14 - the game was played earlier for later broadcast.
still like the high/low tide idea...
17 is a real minnesota story!
12- Hawaii
14- Score is 0-0 before a hockey game
15- covering cows?
16-outside
18- drop the chicken off at the other side. go back and get the grain. drop the grain off and bring the chicken back. leave the chicken there and drop the wolf off. row back and bring the chicken last
Hawaii would be right. Funny how we only think of the 48 contiguous states.
#12 Hawaii
#15 To protect the skin of a cow
#16 It's bottom side
#17 The lake was frozen
More after I think about it
#14 The score of the game was 0-0 before it started
12) HI

15)Keep a cow alive?
16)outside
17) lake was frozen
18) move the chick back and forth..hard to explain..I know how...but i'd perfer this method better..Kill the damn chicken, kill the wolf, and make 3 trips....or you could take the chicken over...go back and get the wolf...then you take the chicken back with you to get the grain and then you leave the chicken ...take the grain....leave the grain go back and get the chicken....
see i told you just kill the damn chicken...much easier!
i'm wondering how i had a hard time in logic in college
I have seven children and half are left handed. Three are truly left handed and one is ambidextrous. So I consider that half of my children are left handed.
Now to figure this out.
12 - ditto what Kids said
13 - All of them are boys
14 - ditto what Terry said
15 - ditto what Kids said
16 - ditto what Kids said
17 - ditto what Terry said
18 - ditto what Terry said
I have to get here earlier so there are unanswered questions left.
