~~
1)
If
5+8+3+6 = 15 48 54
3+6+4+5= 12 30 39
7+4+9+8= 63 32 92
What is 3+4+5+6=?
~~
This has to do with patterns.
The first value in the first row is 15. 15 is equal to 3 times 5 which are the first and third numbers. Same goes with the first value in the second row. The second values are the second number multiplied by the fourth number. The third values are the product of the second and third number added with the product of the first and fourth number.
So 3+4+5+6= 3x5 4x6 (4x5)+(3x6)
The answer is 15 24 38
2)
John’s dad had 5 boys: Tommy, Tummy, Timmy, Tammy. What is the fifth son’s name?
~~
The question says “John’s dad” so I’m assuming that his name is John.
It’s a trick question since it doesn't have the trick we were expecting which is a trick by itself that is able to prove the whole thing false which would say that it isn't a trick question. Contradictory statement.
3)
We see it once in a day, once in a year, but never in a week. What is it?
~~
The letter “a” doesn’t appear in a “week” so that’s the answer. Nice question. I’ve solved many of these before.
4)
If an electric train is going south and the wind is going north, then which way is the smoke blowing?
Electric trains don’t give off steam unless you buy the ones that actually have that specialized function. You can set the train on fire or wait for it to overheat. Then it will have some smoke coming out of it.
5)
How many days have 23 hours?
All of them. It’s simple logic. The question is not asking for a day with only 23 hours. Every day consists of 24 hours. I’m sure 23 hours can fit in there.
6. You are a bus driver. The bus starts out empty with no people in it. At the first bus stop 9 people get on. At the second bus stop, 6 people get on and 11 get off. At the third bus stop, 3 people get off and 5 get on. And after that every time 2 people get on and 1 person gets off. The question is, what color are the bus driver’s eyes?
~~
Make up some new questions please. I answered this question years ago and always use it on my friends. It says “You are a bus driver.” so the answer is the color of my eyes. My eyes are hazelnut brown so that’s my answer.
7)
What asks but never answers?
~~
I’m glad this one is related to OS. But this is really old. I knew this answer about a year ago.
Owls make the sound “hoot” and many jokes use it as a form of asking because hoot is similar to hoot. So I guess the answer is an owl that keeps on hooting. Keep hooting guys.
~~
Can you guys please make up your own jokes? I knew all of these jokes so it wasn't really a challenge.
