One person guessed and did so incorrectly. Answer is not one.

I think it's 2 eggs because by the logic of the question 3 hens would lay 3 eggs in 1.5 days. Then 3 hens would lay 6 eggs in 3 days. Divide that by 3 and you get 1 hen laying 2 eggs in 1.5 days. Whew.

****Divide that by 3 and you get 1 hen laying 2 eggs in 1 day.****

Made a typo in the previous post.

Hinto not read on is you think you can answer this brain teaser without help







its actually 3/2 hens lay 3/2 eggs in 3/2 days
so the equation goes (3/2)*(3/2)*?=3/2
3/2*3/2=9/2
what must 9/2 be multiplied by to get 3/2?

It's 2/3 third.

why?

If 1.5 chickens lay 1.5 eggs, than 3 chickens lay three eggs (in 1.5 days)

So in three days, three chickens lay six eggs. Which is two eggs per chicken. So in one day, one chicken lays 2/3 of an egg.

To check:
2/3 egg * 1.5 chickens * 1.5 days = 1.5 eggs.

Alright the answer is 2/3

New Teaser: Another River Problem
A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river.

He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing.

If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken.

If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn.

Oh I played a game like this before at school. Lets see...

You first take the chicken then, you go back and take the fox. Drop the fox off and then you take the chicken back with you. Drop off the chicken and take the grain. Bring the Grain over drop it off then go back and take the chicken and bring it back. easy as bringing grain, a chicken and fox across the river with out eating eachother.

Or you could have just knocked out the fox and the chicken and saved a lot of trouble...

Why do you even want a fox in the first place? I mean, the corn and chicken have monetary value, but a Fox? I guess the fur is worth something, but you could just skin it right there.

also:
No one?
Alright the answer is 2/3


Seriously?

aknerd was right for the previous one (I have to give some credit)

jkmadman1 was right about the river crossing

Or you could have just knocked out the fox and the chicken and saved a lot of trouble...

Ha ha I guess that would be the thinking outside the box answer...
.
.
.
Two trains are 200 km apart, and traveling towards each other at 50 km/hour each.

From one train a fly takes off, flying straight above the rails to the other train at the speed of 75 km/hour, bounces off it and flies back to the first train.

This is repeated till the trains crash together and the fly is smashed (Headline: Fly Dies in Freak Train Crash)

What distance is the fly able to fly until its meet its tragic end?

Note: there is a complicated and an easy way to solve this one.

Is the easy way alot? I may be in the high math class but I'm to lazy to work it out.

jkmadman1 the only way I could answer that is by giving the answer...and easy way is not "a lot."

Answer revealed tomorrow at nine if none can answer.

(I thought it was simple, but that may be just me)

The complicated way: figure out how long its first journey is, then the return journey, and so on . . .
The easy way I shall not write. . .

Good luck!
