2) A 2 dimensional plane is 2 1 dimensional lines intertwined to form the origin then other lines stacked upon each other vertically and horizontally.
3) A 3 dimensional space is many 2 dimensional plane stacked upon each other to form height.
4) Dimension is the least number of coordinates to locate a point.


**Sorry if the wordings are not very...er...exactly the best.

The USA Flag, because USA is one country that wanted to stand out from all the rest and overshow their independence, show a little bit of irony...
Why do you think that is??

The Rhetorical Question

"If it takes 1 & 1/2 men, 1 & 1/2 days," says Punnish strutting about in imitation of his master, "to pot 1 & 1/2 geraniums in 1 & 1/2 pots, how many will 2 & 1/2 men pot in 6 days?"

He is rather shocked to hear Pembish answering this rhetorical question from with in the greenhouse.

What, incidentally, is the answer ?

Pigs, Horses and a Cow

Mr. Tito was wandering (this time *) about little village with calculators and questionnaires in every hand. He came across a farmer, who was in a hurry. The census-taker asked him how any animals he had and of what sort they were.

"Well since you arsks me like thatrt..." answered the farmer, pausing to kick the rump of a recalcitrant pig, " all I has is pigs, bar two of 'em, and all I has is horses, bar two of 'em."
"Anything else?" asked Mr. Tito, scribbling away.
"No, just a cow," mused the a farmer, wandering off.

What had he ?

Help

This is Ragknot and I am alone on strange flying ship.
I can't move because I am tied up. I can see a guage that
reads "Acceleration".

The ship just began to move and the guage moved to 200 miles
per hour-minute and it's holding steady now. How long do I
have until the ship escapes Earth's orbit?

The Answer Book

Hey Guys,

I get many emails for answers for the puzzles. So I came up with this idea of AnswerBooks for every month. AnswerBooks will contain Puzzles with answers along with most funny and interesting answers from the readers. For each month, the answer book will be published in PDF format on the first week of the next month.

This will take considerable effort and to keep the cost low and also to help support the website, I wanted to put a nominal price on this and wanted your opinion.

Which of these you like the most and What you think should be the price of the Answer Book?



Or Would you rather want to see a Hard copy than a PDF version ? Feel free to add any other comments/suggestions you may have.

Acceleration - unit conversion


Ok, I give one more. I think these may be to hard for many people.
K = (100 * 60 * 60 *60) / (2.54 * 12 *5280)

Since this is acceleration, the units will be a length per time * time

_____ per _____ * ____ * K = ______ per _____ * _____

and K = approx 134.21

This is a unit conversion I never used before, so I verified the answer here.

Conversion factor 3

This is "Flow", as in volume per time. (Length^3 / time)

K = (100*100*100*60*60*24)/(2.54*2.54*2.54*12*12*12*43560) = approximately 70

______ per _______ * K = ______ per _______

What ?

Bigger than the Biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact. really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow that's big," time It is so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really tiny. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.

John Bayleaf often wears odd socks, and this afternoon was no exception. He tells me that he keeps all his socks in a bottom drawer and that when he dresses he removes a pair at random.

If he has four pairs of socks: one black, one white, one red and one blue. How many days per week on average will he be found wearing a matching pair?

conversion #2

If the Conversion K is EXACTLY 10^5 / (254 * 36 *12)

Then ____ per _____ * K = _____ per _____.

K is approximately 0.91, but follow a logic to fill in the blanks.

Deaf Spy

A deaf spy is sent to spy on an air field. He takes a room in the boarding house of Mrs. Oldham. Every now and then, and at random, he makes an excuse to go up to the attic room in order to watch the airfield with his opera glasses untill he sees an airplane. He then immediately makes a note of this in his report and goes back downstairs.

Back in Oblivia, Funkov goes through the spy's report. "It is worse than useless," he says. "We already know that every single hour, day and night, exactly one plane lands, refuels and leaves in a perfectly regular fashion. And yet this report states that he finds 11 times as many planes landing as taking off."

"Hm," says his colleague, Khatzov. "That makes sense. We can get some useful information out of it."

What information can he had from these facts ?

The White and the Snakeshead

There are two types of Zirconian fritillary: the White and the Snakeshead. Both grow to a height of 45 zonks. The White, however, grows at a rate of one zonk in the first tink, two zonks in the second tink, three zonks in the third zink, etc. The Snakeshead variety is more interesting, it grows in such a way that its height increases by three zonks in first two tinks, by six zonks in second two tinks, nine zonks in the third tinks, etc. The both germinate(from zero height) at the same time.

Which of the two will be fully grown first?

The Stone and The Water

A stone falls into the water and water drops are splashed. Why do the water drops fly upwards? Does the maximal height reached by the drops depend (primarily) on the size of the stone or on its speed? What is the maximal height?

The Refrigerator

One day, Dr. Nova arrived in a laboratory to find that his technician had left the refrigerator's door open.

When he pointed this out, that man coolly replied, "It was such a hot day and I wanted to lower the temperature of the room a bit."

Dr. Nova was amused. Why ?

Cuckoo Clock

At this moment the conversation was interrupted by a loud "Cuckoo" Dr. Chronos had just entered with a large cuckoo clock under his arm.

"Your clock is not exactly right," said Stars.

"Well It's not exactly wrong either," said Chronos, sitting next to Mr. Striker, who was puffing away on a cigarette. "You see, this is a very special clock: the hands shows the right time, but the cuckoo only emerges when the hands on the clock coincides."

If the bird was on time and the time was roughly 2:00 PM, what time was it exactly ?

Clock Crypt

"Well I was proceeding down Lettsby Avenue," said Police Constable Klepto, "and had just turned around into Silent Mews."

"And what time was this" asked Queen's Counsel Casey,

"Well I don't remember, but the hour hand and the minute hand were exactly on minute divisions of the clock face and the minute hand was exactly 13 minute divisions ahead of the hour hand."

Luckily Dr. Chronos was in the court. What time did he suggest the recorder record?
