If a block weighs eight kilograms plus half a block, what is the weight of a block and a half?

[Quantrax]

"If a block weighs eight kilograms plus half a block, what is the weight of a block and a half?"

Answer:
24 kilograms. We are trying to determine the total weight of three halves. Since one block weights eight kilograms plus half a block, we know that one block, or two halves, weigh 16 kilograms. Therefore, a block and a half, or three halves, would weigh 8 x 3, or 24 kilograms.

It was in a major league baseball game that a pitcher faced only 27 batters. Every batter he faced, he struck out. He allowed no hits and no runs. His team lost 4 - 0. How could this be possible?

[BlaZe]

They lost because their idiotic coach had another pitcher out there who wasn't nearly as good.

[kellsar wolf]

i agree with blazer on that one. a different pitcher.

Let me take a stab at this fun riddle stuff.

You are at a bar. A stranger walks up to you and proposes a drinking game for a bet of one hundred dollars to whoever wins.

The stranger states that they will drink two pints, of beer, before you can drink two normal size shots of whiskey.

After stating this he orders the drinks, as well as the pints of beer, and sets them down before the two of you on the bar.

He continues by stating that there are two rules... The first rule is that each drink must be drunk one at a time, and as such, remain where it is on the bar until the appropriate time for it to be drank. The second rule is that neither party can touch the other parties glasses for any reason.

As he see's you staring at the two large pints of beer and pulling out your hundred dollars... he says this: "I have one request before we get started, and if you allow me to do it, ill put an additional fifty dollars up against your hundred dollars.

The request is that he wants you to wait for him to be near to finished with his first pint of beer before you start drinking your shots. You of course looking once again at the large pints of beer agree to the wager. The money is put up on the bar and the stranger starts to drink the first pint of beer, and as requested you wait for the first pint of beer to be near to empty; which to your satisfaction is taking him a long time to drink down, before you take up your first shot of whiskey...

How did you loose this bet..?
