How much dirt is in a hole 12 inches wide by 3 feet deep?…I'm out of my depth there… :P
Aw, if there were four cigarettes on the table but only 3 guys sitting, I assumed another guy would have been in the room with them. :lol:
You know, funnily enough about that doctor question, I once told that to a very intellectual friend of mine and he worried over it for about 3 hours, suggesting everything from body transference, to an illegitimate birth, and adoption. I eventually had to tell him the solution.
The irony was that his own mother was actually a doctor!
You're stuck in a room, no way out, etc., etc.. The walls are solid steel. All you have is a chainsaw and a table; how do you get out?
(note: You may have heard this one in the 3rd grade)
How about this:
Cut the table in half. Of course, two halves makes a "hole". All you need to do then is jump through the hole. :wink:
…I'm out of my depth there… :Pwould it help If I changed it to METRIC measurements? :P
The irony was that his own mother was actually a doctor!Ha! :lol:

Next Brainteaser That Actually Involves Thought Rather Than Wit: In a far away land, it was known that if you drank acid, the only way to save yourself is to drink a stronger acid, which neutralizes the weaker acid. The king, who ruled the land, wanted to make sure that he possessed the strongest acid in the kingdom, in order to ensure his survival, in any situation. So he called the kingdom's pharmacist and the kingdom's treasurer, he gave each a week to make the strongest acid. Then, each would drink the other one's acid, then his own, and the one that will survive, will be the one that had the stronger acid.
The pharmacist went straight to work, but the treasurer knew he had no chance, for the pharmacist was much more experienced in this field, so instead, he made up a plan to survive and make sure the pharmacist dies. On the last day the pharmacist suddenly realized that the treasurer would know he had no chance, so he must have a plan. After a little thought, the pharmacist realized what the treasurer's plan must be, and he concocted a counter plan, to make sure he survives and the treasurer dies. When the time came, the king summoned both of them. They drank the acids as planned, and the treasurer died, the pharmacist survived, and the king didn't get what he wanted.
What happened?
Spang, thanks for killing the thread with that. And the picture does cheat with overlap, to Blitz's merit.
Blitz… I'm gonna need a little more time to work that thing of yours out. I'm more of the lateral thinker than the logical thinker, so this brainteaser is a little more daunting to me.

THE ANSWER TO THE LAST BRAINTEASER I PUT UP, WHICH I LIKE BUT YOU PROBABLY WON'T: The hairdresser would rather cut the hair of two people from anywhere in the world than a single person in town not because she has a vendetta against the town or anything, but simply because she would get more money from cutting two people's hair than just one. Ba-da-bum.
Okay, Blitz! I think I figured out your little acids problem! Here goes:
The treasurer's plan was to offer water instead of acid. This way, when the pharmacist drank the treasurer's water, and then his own acid, there would be no acid for the pharmacist's undoubtedly strong acid to neutralize, and it would instead kill him. Meanwhile, the treasurer would secretly drink a weak acid before the trial, thereby ensuring that the pharmacist's strong acid would work on the weak acid in his stomach and let the treasurer live.
The pharmacist's counterplan was also to offer water. That way, the treasurer would have nothing in his stomach to counteract the weak acid he secretly drank before the trial, and it would slowly yet surely kill him. The pharmacist, meanwhile, would only be drinking water both times, and would experience nothing besides a slight need to go to the bathroom. The king, of course, didn't get what he wanted because both candidates offered water for their entries. Mwah mwaaaaaaah.

NEXT BRAINTEASER: There is a semi truck driving down a small and empty highway towards Charleston, South Carolina. Everything is going fine and dandy until the truck comes to an overpass that is just an inch or two too low for the truck to drive under. Now, the driver is running late as it is, and making a detour would burn at least another hour. How can the truck driver get the truck under the overpass and on its merry way?
PS: And no dynamiting the overpass. That's cheating, on top of being destruction of public property.
I think I've worked out spangs picture. when the bodies switch over part of the feet are missing on one of the people when they cross over, not enough to be notice when they are stood on their own but enough to slot in with part of the fixed scene when it returns.
these pictures are probably of no use but I'm not very good at explaining things.
sorry about the numbers I was going to number them to show the cross over but as only parts of some people move it's a little tricky
Never give UP, more like.

NEXT BRAINTEASER: Mr. Wilco is walking down a country road towards a small village on the island of Jakarta in Indonesia when suddenly there is a torrential downpour. Mr. Wilco, having been the lone survivor of an unfortunate plane crash, does not have anything with him to shield himself from the rain– no umbrella, no newspaper, not even a shirt. He just decides to get wet, seeing as his day can't get much worse. However, when Mr. Wilco gets to the village, not a single hair on his head is even the slightest bit wet. How?
