A riddle to pass the Friday-afternoon-at-work blues.

[harpomx]

I occur once in every minute, twice in every moment, but never in a hundred thousand years. What am I?

 

[TomC25]

the letter m

[Dedpuhl]

lol...so much for passing the time...

 

[harpomx]

you guys are good

Now what are we going to do for the rest of the afternoon at work?

 

[TomC25]

You have a chicken, some chicken feed, and a fox

You want to transport all 3 to an island on a lake

You can only take 1 at a time and cannot leave the chicken with the feed or the fox

How do you get all 3 to the island?

 

[TheDennis]

first take chicken then come back and get the fox and take it across bring the chicken back with you and take across the chicken feed then go get the chicken it's that simple

 

[Ponyboy25]

Well, if you're like my co-worker "Sergie" over there, you might wanna stick the chicken up your a$$, and carry the feed with you on the first trip. Then you'll just have to return for the fox, and then I guess you could take the chicken out after the second trip.

 

[TheDennis]

my turn I guess


A man falls in a well 21 ft deep. He climbs up 3 ft everyday and falls 2 ft every night. How many days does it take him to get out?

 

[TomC25]

correct! TheDennis

 

[harpomx]

18.

 

[TheDennis]

correct Harpo it's your turn

 

[harpomx]

K, it'll take a sec to type, so hold on

Me & my friends are a fine quintet;
Try and you will find us yet;
One of us in glass is set;
One of us is stuck in jet;
One of us is boxed within;
One of us is set in tin;
Although the fifth is hiding too,
It can never fly from you.

Who are we?

[harpomx]

T is not the answer. Do you want me to tell you? TheDennis, I think you're thinking about it the wrong way...
