<p>lol guys I know about the Monty Hall thing, my friends went and watched 21 and it had an application in it. Anyway they come back and ask me the same question and I was laughing because it was the first time they ever heard of it.</p>
<p>Mary’s father has 5 daughters, Nana, Nene, Nini, Nono. What’s the name of the 5th one?</p>
<p>Ok if riddles are what you guys want, answer this without googling it.
A man stands in front a portrait and says- sons and brothers have I none, this person’s father is my father’s son. Who’s portrait is it?</p>
<p>P.S. If you guys don’t get it within 5 minutes, shame on you!</p>
<p>i agree with ElectricTech about that goat/car gameshow problem</p>
<p>it’s his own portrait. …</p>
<p>i totally don’t get the goat problem, but ok.
come on give us some good ones.</p>
<p>43: himself</p>
<p>If a crab and a half weigh a pound and a half, but the half crab weighs as much as the whole crab, what do the half of the whole crab and the whole of the half crab weigh?</p>
<p>2.25? did that right away like less than a second… and i suck at calculations so i dunno.</p>
<p>the portrait one was so easy i was like there must be some trick… it can’t be</p>
<p>The answer to post #47 is a pound and a half. The answer to post #42 is Mary.</p>
<p>so a Crab (C) and a half (h) weigh 1.5 C+H=1.5. then H=C</p>
<p>so H=7.5 and C=7.5</p>
<p>what is 1/2 C + 2H? is the question…</p>
<p>7.5x2.5=18.35</p>
<p>move the decimal places you get 1.835… i don’t get it.</p>
<p>unless you read the “whole of the half crab” as all of the half crab which is still half a crab, that means 7.5x1.5 which is 11.25 or 1.125…</p>
<p>Holy smokes, what’s up with cc? I got you guys fooled lol. 43 is not himself. It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. Read it and think outside the box you’re in.</p>
<p>A man stands in front a portrait and says- sons and brothers have I none, this person’s father is my father’s son. Who’s portrait is it?</p>
<ul>
<li>The man’s daughter.</li>
</ul>
<p>Go Indians lol. Did you google it?</p>
<p>… a son is a guy… isn’t it?</p>
<p>dude username, come on!</p>
<p>oh wait never mind… ah i knew it wasn’t that easy.</p>
<p>Lol, was it that hard?</p>
<p>nah but almost every person I’ve asked, never got it.</p>
<p>The goat problem is simple dude.
It’s just a statistical approach to things.
Initially, there’s a car in one and goats in 2 of the three doors, so your chance of picking the car are 1/3 = 33.33%
Now if the host opens a door to show a goat, so now you know which door has one of the two goats… Now if you switch, the probability of getting a goat is 1/3 which is 33.33% and therefore the prob. of choosing the car is higher now (if you switch) than if you chose to stick with your choices and preserved the original probabilities.</p>
<p>Note- higher chance doesn’t mean necessarily that you’ll get the car!</p>
<p>now you’re just showing off spidey :)</p>
