Two girls are born to the same mother, on the same day, at the same time, in the same year and yet they're not twins.

Must have been a hell of a squeeze being born at the same time. :D
Caesarian perhaps?

Well played you three, Well played.


Two girls are born to the same mother, on the same day, at the same time, in the same year and yet they're not twins. How can this be?
Is the Mother a Hen or some kind of egg layer?

No, it was answered a while ago. They are 2 parts of a set of triplets.

Are you googling the answers?

Are you googling the answers?

I had heard this somewhere before and it got stuck in my trivia bank. I also know some others of the type "make the right choice or die", and if I get time I will try to post them.

Geez, i'm starting to run out of these.. ok...
Using only basic arithmetic operations (+ - x /) can you get 98 using only 7 sevens? Each 7 may only be used once and you must use all 7 sevens.

7 7 7 7 7 7 7

7 7 7 7 7 7 7

As long as I can also use parentheses, the following should qualify:

( ( ( 7 + 7 ) * 7 ) + ( 7/7 - 7/7 ) ) = 98

As long as I can also use parentheses, the following should qualify:

( ( ( 7 + 7 ) * 7 ) + ( 7/7 - 7/7 ) ) = 98

Ya, that worked for me, but different than the answer i was given.. (well slightly different, same basic idea of course)

(7x7x(7+7)/7)+7-7

OK this one is likely all over the internet so lets hope people stay off Google.

A lecturer decides to play a fun logic game. She selects 3 students to stand in a row facing the front of the class. The student at the back (C) can see both students in front, The student in the middle (B) can see only the student in front and the student in front A) can't see the other 2 students.

The lecturer shows the students 3 white caps and 2 black caps, and puts them in a bag. The lecturer then blindfolds each student and asks them to select a cap and put it on their heads.
The lecturer then removes their blindfolds and asks the students to solve by logic what color caps they are wearing. (They cannot see the color of their own caps.)

The student in front (A) just laughs, because what chance does he have! They stand like this for a few minutes, none of the students can guess at the color of their caps. And then the student in the front (A) shouts that he knows what color cap he is wearing.

How is this possible?

How is this possible?

My Guess:


There are only three possibilities regarding what Person A can see.
Two Black Caps
Two white Caps
One Black and One White Cap
Person A:

If Person A saw two Black Caps, it would mean that they had to be wearing a White Cap, so Person A either Sees Two White Caps, or One Black and One White Cap. Person A says nothing.

Person B:

Knows that Person A either Sees Two White Caps, or One Black and One White Cap (for the same reasons). Therefore if Person B saw a Black Cap, they would know that theirs had to be white. Person B also says nothing.

Person C

Knows what the other two know (for the same reasons), and determines that theirs is a White Cap.

well done. I'm fresh out.

Each word is one letter longer than the previous word?

Well, that is true and very close to the answer I am looking for...

The number of letters in each word corresponds to what position it is in the sentence?

O T T F F S S

What letter comes next?

O T T F F S S

What letter comes next?

Someone already did this one.... "E" comes next

The number of letters in each word corresponds to what position it is in the sentence?


Exactly. The Nth word in the sentence has N letters

Each word is one letter longer than the previous word?

Nice, I was going to say every letter was used, but then I couldn't find a "j."

A Surname.

A Surname.

Good answer!

The answer (which came far too soon) is a surname (or last name as the original riddle actually reads). Good Answer Alc.

The strange thing is, I thought it was that after the first two clues. Was pretty sure after the third, but started to question it after the Liberace one.
