Take one from 19 to leave 20

[Roman Numerals XIX =19 so by removing the I which equals 1 you are left with XX which is 20]

A man is lying dead with a backpack on, face down in the desert. His entire front half is crushed. What happened to him?

Damn James, Who wants to be a millionaire?

Huggablemonster you got 1, 2, 5 and 7 right!

For the one about the group of people, the aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews etc have to be accounted for in the group. Therefore if there is an uncle in the group, there must be a niece or nephew as well (and they have to be related) It took me ages!

James you got the 19 and 20 one dead on, well done! Big hint for the 6 and 9 one [The six and nine one is very similar to the 19 and 20 one]

Why does the time taken differ on the B-C track?

[Eighty minutes is one hour twenty minutes]

Eurgh, I prolly shoul've been more descriptive in the riddle. I didn't look up the real one, I just told it from what I remember, and mine *could* have more than one loophole which makes it possible to escape from the room. Bleh.

But anyways, yes, the bars are attached to the walls in front of the windows, and there are no holes or anything resembling an exit in the walls.

Ok, here's a hint for the 2nd answer: When you die, what happens?

Erm... this better not be one of those 'he killed himself and his spirit left the room' things... I say you tell us the answer in black for those who want to know.

Lol, that's actually the second answer, [the one I came up with while trying to figure out the real answer! "He died and went to heaven!"

]

Okay, the real answer is: Who said the room had to have 4 walls all around it??

Yea, I was PISSED when I heard the answer. Not only did it make me feel stupid, the answer IS stupid! But I bet y'all had fun trying to figure it out

missing666 · 10-20-2004, 05:59 AM

Ok guys i have a really good one

Theres three guys who want to stay in a hotel for one night
they go to the main desk and the lady there says that a room with three single beds is $30 so they split it and pay $10 each.
They leave their bags at the desk so the bag boy can take them up and the three of them go up to their room. just before the bag boy takes their bags up the lady at the desk realises the room only cost $25 so she gives the bag boy $5 to take to the three guys. the bag boy is a bit cheap and greedy so he keeps $2 of the $5 he was supposed to give to the guys, then to make it even between them he gives them back $1 each because there are three of them and $3 left. so all in all they each payed $10 and each got $1 back so they payed $9. there are three of them and $9x3=$27 plus the $2 the bagboy has eaquals $29
... so wheres the other dollar??

enjoy - gren
