What am I ?

Hint: I'm an object.

I wish I was black.
Blacks can glide through with speed and agility.
We browns can be much sharper than the blacks,
but not always.
We browns are less likely to bust
a cap because we have no cap to bust.
We are usually shorter than blacks but not always.
We get smaller with age.
The stereotypes are terrible for the browns just
because we travel in bulk and work at low prices.
We're not as strong as the blacks.
We have the advantage of covering our tracks in
white territory; the blacks are too messy.
We both are scared of the whites out
and most don't mind getting "high lit."
We both are made for doing lines.
Without us the whites would be blank of idea



So what am I???

Wot's my Spot?

Three blondes apply for a job but the manager can't decide between them which one should get the job so he gives them one final test:

He takes each of them in to a room and tells them that he is going to put a spot on their forehead. He says "It is going to be either a black spot or a white spot and you are not allowed to ask anyone what colour it is". After administering these instructions and placing a white spot on each of them, he asks them to sit down in the interview room together so they can each see the other two candidates. He says to them "If you can see at least one white spot, please raise your hand". They all raise their hand. "ok, now put down your hands and no talking. The next one who can raise their hand and tell me for definate what colour spot they have on their head will get the job. After a short pause, one woman raises her hand and declares "I definately have a white spot". She got the job, but how did she know?....

What is me?

I have moved the sands of this beautiful earth,
Moved them with ease since the day of it's birth.
In the sowing of seeds, I have played a large part,
Yet when they are grown, I may rip them apart.
At times I am welcome, at times I am not,
Sometimes I'm so subtle, I raise not a thought.
Then again, there are days when my fury is great,
And oh, so deserving of all of your hate.
But as much as you wish, as much as you try,
You will never be rid of me, for I cannot die......


I know, I know. EASY!!! At least it rhymes, dammit!

What is the missing number

Here's a puzzle to test your ability to find a pattern and test it against more data.
In this table, each row across follows the same pattern of numbers. See if you can discern the pattern and fill in the missing number in the bottom row. For added challenge (or competition), time how long it takes you to complete the puzzle. Then, pass it along to someone else and see if they can solve it faster. The slower one has to cook dinner!

Birthday Cake

How do you cut a round birthday cake into 8 equal pieces with 3 cuts?

The price of wood (teehee wood)

3 guys were camping in the woods and gathering some twigs and wood for the fire. Guy no.1 brought 5 pieces of wood. Guy no.2 bought 3 pieces of wood. Guys no.3 however didn't collect any firewood instead he offered the others a total of $24 dollars as his share of the fire-wood.
The next day when there on their way home, they were calculating how much Guy no.1 and Guy no.2 should get for their pieces of wood (hehehehe). What is the fairest way to calculate how much Guy n0.3 should pay the other two?

(and no its not as simple as dividing 24 into 8, you have to consider that all 3 guys consumed the same amount of firewood through the night.)

edit: Sorry its supposed to be 3 pieces of wood for guy no2

The Missing Buck.....

(typetypetypetype)
Three guys are livin' it up, partyin' like there is no two days from yesterday in your typical, divey, hotel lobby bar. As the magical hour of last call approaches, the barkeep subtley mentions to the fellas that they might consider renting a room for the evening, as it is quite late, and they are not exactly in the best condition for anything , other than passing out. Upon hearing this suggestion, they immediately start to pool their funds together, ultimately scraping up a total of a mere thirty dollars betwixt the three of them.
"How much is a night's rent?" they ask.
"Rooms are usually twenty-five dollars a night," says the ever-hustling bartender, "but unfortunately, since there are three of you, I must insist on a cool thirty." After some ineffectual pleading for even the slightest discount fails, the three men reluctantly gather up their things , each hand over their last ten dollars, and they precariously begin their journey up the stairs to their overpriced room.
As the bartender/bellhop/owner closes up for the evening, he prides himself on his cunning ability to swindle a sucker. But this soon turns into a slight tinge of unease with himself for not helping those three fellows out, which then finally turns into downright regret and shame in his heart for having stooped so low as to take advantage of strangers in such a way. After nary another thought on the matter, he opens the till, removes five one dollar bills, and calls over his little nephew/busboy to run a small errand.
"Johnny," says he, "I would like you to go upstairs to room 101 and return this small refund to the three gents inside. I trust they will treat you with appreciation if nothing else."
So, off Johnny goes, skipping his way down the hall, and soon up the stairs. Then something dawns on Johnny; How in the world will he ever find a way to evenly divide five one dollar bills between three people, without the ability to get change, and still walk out of the situation unscathed? Then an idea slithers it's way into Johnny's mischievious little cranium: He can pocket two dollars, leaving him with three to evenly split amongst the drunks. They will never know the difference, all will feel as if they are on the fair end of a deal, and Johnny can stroll on home, looking more and more like a diplomat every second, devilishly fingering the two crispy bills in his pocket, leaving not a single clue behind to tell the tale.
Convinced of his genius, he does exactly what he envisioned; Shaved off two dollars into his pocket, knocked on the door, blessed the three (barely lucid) drinkers with his generousity, and made off like a champ.
So........ Thirty dollars for the room. That's ten dollars from each of the three men. Until, that is, they got their refund of a dollar apiece, which now leaves them each nine dollars in the hole towards the room. Three guys, each paying nine dollars even, figures to about twenty seven dollars, yes? Take this twenty seven bucks, add to it the two dollars that Johnny has no doubt spent on video games by now, and you are left with a grand total of twenty-nine dollars.
Where I ask you, has the missing dollar gone?


*When I first heard this riddle, the toothless, broken down old miner that told it to me found great pleasure in proclaiming his realization that the "I.R.S." gaffled the absentee dollar, and that, in fact, there is no explanation to offer. He insisted that this riddle is a mathmatic anomoly, without any reason, logic or method to it's mystery. After my epitome and subsequent epiphany concerning the combination to this enigma, miner Bill and I actually argued over this thing!
You will be happy to know that I did so graciously concede from our little debate, if for no other reason than the fact that the dude had been mining in the 13,000 to 14,000 foot peaks of Leadville, Colorado, for god knows how long, and I have at least 6 gold fillings in my teeth; more than enough motivation for him to peel apart my jaws like the prom king wants to peel off his prudish strumpet's silky unmentionables..........
At any rate, I have stumped quite a few with this one, and have rarely heard a correct response. Let's not ruin it for anyone that wants the challenge, and eventual satisfaction, of figuring it out on their own. Let us refrain from ..............type entry..................click search..............pick the best match............cheat ourselves and those to follow.
I will never understand how someone could have an interest in logic puzzles, yet use a simpleton's method to arrive at their solutions. Just another trick-of-the-mind, I reckon.'

Old Coin

A self proclaimed expert on the value of rare coins goes to a collectors exhibition. There, he sees, admires, and finally purchases a single silver coin for one million dollars. On the coin's face was the head of some dude, and the tail, a leaf kinda thing. What seemingly made this coin so valuable was the date etched on it: 210 B.C.
He returns home with his new prize, sits on the couch and relishes in his newest and finest investment; only to realize, after some logic, that he has been bamboozled.

Now at their home, it lies, and drivers die

Cunning Sage

The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits. Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?" For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ." (what colour is his hat? explain)

The train to clarksville

Mr. Moody grumbles about bad time-keeping trains from morning till night!.
On one particular morning he was quiet justified.
His train left on time for the one hour journey, to Clarksville, and it arrived 5 minutes late.
However, Mr. Moody 's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes.
His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock.
If the train travelled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much?
