To see just how smart some of y'all are, here are some brain teasers. This should be fun!!


I'll post the answers to these tomorrow.

1. Do they have a 4th of July in England?

2. If there are 7 months that have 31 days in them and 11 months that have 30 days in them, how many months have 28 days in them?


3. How many birthdays does the average man have?


4. What is boiled then cooled, sweetened then soured?


5. A woman gives a beggar 50 cents; the woman is the beggar's sister, but the beggar is not the woman's brother. How come?

6. How many outs are there in an inning?


7. What is brought to the table and cut, but never eaten?


8. Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow's sister? Why?


9. What is neither inside a house nor outside a house, but no house would be complete without it?

10. Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer?

To take a guess at a couple of these that Lisa didn't answer:

beggar's sister, but the beggar is not the woman's brother. How come?

I'm guessing that the beggar is also a woman which would mean they are sisters and not sister/brother?

6, 3 for each team.

Actually when a door is open it is either inside the house or outside. The window go straight up, unless you have those pivoting windows.

Unless you were meaning a sliding glass door. :p :D

We used to have those casement windows that swing out before we had our windows done. Thank goodness we got rid of those old things. :rolleyes:

Wow, those types are popular here. Says that it is easier to clean and maintain.

I personally like the windows with the blinds build in. Those kind look nifty to me.

There isn't anything wrong with those types of windows per se, but our house was built in 1953 and those were the original windows and so were single pane aluminum and terribly energy inefficient. Just so I know we're talking about the same thing, I'm talking about the windows that have the hand crank you turn and the window swings out. The ones we have now are double hung, which are the ones that you can swing inside the house for easy cleaning. :)

Yes, those are nifty but they're really friggin expensive. :eek:

Ohh, OK, I understand what you are saying now. Yes my Grandmothers house had those hand cranked kind. It was three horizontal windows and each cranked out to hope up.

Yes, those are very expensive, but awfully purtty. :D

I knew you would pipe in and try and complicate this...*giggles*. At least you read it. :p

I suppose you are correct.

Did you get any of the other Rich?? I am curious.
