I'm a nerd, and I love word puzzles. I figure this can be an ongoing thread, unlike my other ones. Hehe. I'll start off with an easy one. Two fathers and two sons go fishing and each one of them catch a fish. Only three fish are caught. How is this possible?

Grandfather, Father, Son.
Grandfather is father of father. Father is father of son.
That is all. Bring on another!

Hehe. Here's another. (finally)
A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him underwater for five minutes. Then she hangs him.
But five minutes later, they go out for dinner.
How can this be?

Her husband is a magician, or an exsacape artist type guy and she's the assistant.

She took pictures of him. She put the picture underwater to develop or whatever, then she hung the picture. I win.

lol. What about the one where a man and his son are in a car accident and they take them to the hospital and the boy is in the operating room. The doctor comes in, takes one look, and says: "I can't operate, he's my son."

oooooo, I've heard this one before....
I'll go with my first guess and say the father wasn't injured in the car accident... though I know that's wrong...

Here's one:
A man rode into town on Friday, stayed for three days, and left on Wednesday afternoon. How can this be?

His horse is named Friday.

You've heard these before. OKAY then, take this:
A prisoner is being kept in an empty cell. There is a window in one wall, but it is blocked with iron bars that are very slightly cracked. There is one door that is always kept locked from the outside.
There is no furniture in the room.
Once a day the prisoner is brought a bowl of rice and a cup of water.
After six months, the prisoner escapes. How?

The prisoner is Jet Li and he owns the faces of the guards after six months because that was how long it took to make a two minute montage about hard ass prison life in a cell with nothing but rice and his own poo.

Why are we still guessing on this one? I won it. I'll come up with one at work. Actually I won't but I'll try xD

Good answer ... but not the right one. Keep guessing.

Post by Kage Chaos on Dec 5, 2006 14:24:00 GMT -5
You probably have me stumped. I'm going to try this guess, but I'm pretty sure it's not right.
THE CELL WOULD BE EMPTY IF THERE WAS SOMEONE IN IT!!

Post by blossom on Dec 5, 2006 14:25:56 GMT -5
I'm going to guess you mean the cell WOULDN'T be empty if there was someone in it ... but no, that's not the right answer.
