Story problem: I poop out a brick. The brick weighs 2.5 kg. I poop out another brick, this time slightly larger. It weighs 3 kg. I poop out a third brick. What is the weight of this brick?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me if I'm wrong but I don't think most humans can poop out bricks :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nah, not the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well then idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You wanna know the true answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is that you are full of poop. Therefore the final bricks weight will go to infinity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

darn What is it then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't matter how much the brick weighs, I just died of blood loss.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sometimes that answers are so obvious that we miss them. Excellent word problem Aubburrito (you bored?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's one: Two guys are on a plane flying over the Pacific Ocean. One bets that if he drops a bag of feathers and the other guy drops a steel weight 5 seconds later, the bag of feathers will hit the ground first. The other guy bets that the steel ball will hit the ground first. Who won the bet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dunno, but neither of 'em are gonna hit the ground.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got it. But if they were over the ground the feathers would hit first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Coolbeans.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Moar plz.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so there's a magician who says he can drop a regular, raw egg and it won't break in 3 feet. The ground is made of concrete. How is this possible?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He drops the egg on a narwhal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No there's nothing between the egg and the ground except good old air. PLAIN AIR, nothing special about it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The egg has a parachute on it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's nothing on the egg.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The egg is contained in a velvet box!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The egg has nothing on it, is in nothing, etc etc etc. just a PLAIN OLD EGG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He drops it one foot above the ground.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah you're close he just drops it 4 feet from the ground. For the first 3 feet it doesn't break.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's my prize?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Free air ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could I get a unicorn instead?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just steal one from walmart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Walmart doesn't sell mythical creatures.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what they want you to think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prove it.
