Someone guess it...Then when someone gets it right, someone post another brain teaser for us to guess

A man living in new york marries his sister, he then marries his brother, then his mother. This is not illegal. He was not adopted or fostered, he was not a member of some tribe. How is it possible?

a man and his son are in a car crash. The son is rushed to hospital and is in the operating theatre when the surgeon says "I can't operate on him, he's my son." How is this possible?

Am I right? Wrong? What? :p

[ferretchucker]

sorry, but his father was also in that crash

[Posher778]

A man, just falling too far to grab anything or save himself, begins to fall from his penthouse apartment window, when the phone rings. He screams then after he falls. What happened?

Umm...I don't even get that QUESTION...Any way to rephrase?

erm...it was the insurance man cancelling his car insurance?

[Posher778]

Sorry, it's easier to say.


A man is falling from his 300 foot high window, and right as he starts falling, his telephone rings. He screams despairingly, and falls to his death. What happened?

[ferretchucker]

the phone was on the outside of the window and he reached for it?

[Posher778]

He doesn't reach for it, he is too far away.

(The phone is in his apartment, and he's.... out the window)

[bloodrayne]

Sorry, it's easier to say.


A man is falling from his 300 foot high window, and right as he starts falling, his telephone rings. He screams despairingly, and falls to his death. What happened?He was committing suicide because he was waiting for a phone call that never came, then just as he couldn't stop it, the call came?

No...That can't be right...I obviously overthought that one

I don't know

[Posher778]

He was committing suicide because he was waiting for a phone call that never came, then just as he couldn't stop it, the call came?

No...That can't be right...I obviously overthought that one

I don't know

Nope. Think broader.

[horrorobsessed]

his window is 300ft high not the drop?

or

he started falling and the phone rang and he changed his mind right then and was like "oh shit, dude, totally help me" even though the person on the phone can't here him?


totally a long shot

[Posher778]

Uhh.... no. He DOES regret going out the window... of course.

[horrorobsessed]

he was already falling, so he couldn't here the phone ring, could he?

yet another shot in the dark.

[Posher778]

Yes, he could, you're just complicating it more.

[ferretchucker]

put us out of our misery and tell us please.

[Posher778]

nope............

[bloodrayne]

Well, we can't guess it...So, we can't move on...

[ferretchucker]

I have one. a womans child becomes priminister. The child is then not priminister. After the next election, one of the womans children becomes priminister. The second priminister is not the first ones broter or sister. How is this possible?

[Posher778]

Well, we can't guess it...So, we can't move on...

You can ask yes or no questions about it.

[monalisa]

You can ask yes or no questions about it.

What happened? He went splatt. j/k, well not really. :p

[bloodrayne]

So...Is that the correct answer then?...He splattered?

[Posher778]

So...Is that the correct answer then?...He splattered?

No, of course not. The question is, why did he go out the window? Sorry if that was really unclear.

[monalisa]

No, of course not. The question is, why did he go out the window? Sorry if that was really unclear.

Cuz he was a dumbass? Hell, I don't know. Are you sure you have given us all of the details?

Ferret, we'll get back to yours after this one. I'm obsessed, I must know the answer to this.

[Posher778]

Bwahaha. ok, one hint. He definently jumped in attempt at suicide.

[horrorobsessed]

okay, i got this.

his neighbor saw him trying to jump and called him, therefore, he was so scared he shit himself and fell.

sounds pretty realistic to me.

[Posher778]

Nope
.......

[horrorobsessed]

OH MY LORD!!!!!!

i'm running out of ideas here.




he slipped on the phone cord or on the phone that had fallen on the floor?????

[Posher778]

Nope.

Guy thinks he's the last man on Earth... but was wrong?

[Posher778]

Guy thinks he's the last man on Earth... but was wrong?

YES! He kills himself because he thought he was, but there was another.

[monalisa]

YES! He kills himself because he thought he was, but there was another.

Was that from a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode? It sounds like it. :)

[ferretchucker]

did he jump because of the phone call?

[Posher778]

No, omfg!!! It rang AS he was falling, but he thought he was the last man on earth. But he screams because he WASN'T.

[monalisa]

I have one. a womans child becomes priminister. The child is then not priminister. After the next election, one of the womans children becomes priminister. The second priminister is not the first ones broter or sister. How is this possible?

OK, to be fair, this was the next one that was posted. Let's figure this one out.

[Dante'sInferno]

Okay,theres 100 people,and 30 bullets,how many could you kill if they were standing in a line?

[chaibill]

the 1st piminister died in office and the woman had more than one father of her childern

did any one get bloodrayenes first one?

well if you take the lead from all the bullets and melt it down an make everyone drink it that might kill all 100

or none if you don't have a gun

[monalisa]

Okay,theres 100 people,and 30 bullets,how many could you kill if they were standing in a line?

100 if I was standing at the right angle. :)

[monalisa]

did any one get bloodrayenes first one? you have a foren curency that only adds up to 30cents




Yes, I did.

[monalisa]

the 1st piminister died in office and the woman had more than one father of her childern


Hey Ferret, is this correct?

[chaibill]

oh yeah i see it

i don't know they would still be half brothers

[ferretchucker]

no chaibill, that wasn't right.

[novadawn969]

I have one. a womans child becomes priminister. The child is then not priminister. After the next election, one of the womans children becomes priminister. The second priminister is not the first ones broter or sister. How is this possible?


Different woman?
Adopted?

[ferretchucker]

no. Look at the word's i was careful to choose. (Also, this is actually true, maybe history knowledge will help)

[monalisa]

The woman's child becomes priminister. The child is then not priminister because it is not old enough?

After the next election, one of the woman's children becomes priminister. The second priminister is not the first ones brother or sister. It is still the same child as the first one, but is now old enough to offically be priminister?

Am I right??? :confused:

[chaibill]

the 1st primminister is the same one in the last statement. he/she has to step down for a time for health reasons or something and a parlament or body rules in his hers place then they come back to office and win another election.

[Demonique]

The children are twins?

[bloodrayne]

The children are twins?That would still make them siblings.....I kinda think Mona's 'same child' theory may be closer...But, I really haven't a clue on this one...

[chaibill]

ferret is that right

[stubbornforgey]

let me get this right..

A womans child becomes prime minister..but he's not prime minister.
After the next election..a womans 2nd child becomes prime minister but is not the brother or sister to the 1st..how can this be.



a different woman and child altogether??

[ferretchucker]

the 1st primminister is the same one in the last statement. he/she has to step down for a time for health reasons or something and a parlament or body rules in his hers place then they come back to office and win another election.

yes you're right. Short answer - Winston Churchill

So these two men went to this place where they grew up.
They remember this lake with an island in the middle, and want to do a census of the animals on the island.
They take a boat, and there aren't any animals besides some birds and bugs.
They decide to come back a year later and check again.
That they could find; there are:
19 rabbits
4 moose
2 cyotes
9 foxes
and 1 turtle

The island is too far to swim, and the lake is too deep to walk.
They didn't get there by boat either.
How did they get on the island???


:D

:DThey took a boat...'They' being the two men...The question was 'How did THEY get on the island?'...Is that correct?

[chaibill]

walked across the ice in the winter time
or
the animals were in hibernation the first time

It is my turn any way i got the last one right

[chaibill]

[novadawn969]

Yeah, they walked over on the ice.




That's a hard one...

A river-boat?

[bloodrayne]
