imqwerty (imqwerty):

tricky problem :) without typos first one to answer properly gets one owlbuck :)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

A bull travels a certain distance everyday :) .Strangely enough, two of its legs travel 25 miles each day and the other two legs travel 26miles. it would seem that the other two legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can;t be true. Since the bull is normal, how can this be possible :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't know

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The legs that have travelled 26m were "dragging" (sort of) the other legs that travelled slower, prevailing a distance of 1 mile less (i.e. 25m).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

But, really, I don't know \(....\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My brain hurts trying to figure out this problem XD. There's too much complexion >.<

imqwerty (imqwerty):

lol nope @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Then, I don't see a possibility:) Or, a bull on a "Procrustean bed" ? :O

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

or Procrustean track ...

imqwerty (imqwerty):

nope :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

may i insert a problem thats tricky(messes with the brain)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

ok :D i'd make make it tricky prblm

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

its not possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it two humans dressed in a bull cotume in it one of them walks 25 miles and the other one walks 16 miles

imqwerty (imqwerty):

it is possible :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

costume*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant spell today...

imqwerty (imqwerty):

its a bull a normal bull nd not 2 humans :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you never said it was an actual bull, you said it looked like a normal bull...am i right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how i read it anyways

imqwerty (imqwerty):

u can try as much as u can but 2 humans in a costume can't look like a normal bull + we need a proper answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i at least ask mine? its multiple choice but 97% of people choose the wrong answer

imqwerty (imqwerty):

Hey :D u shuld make another post for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but who would look at "my" questions, oh yah right no one does in a post

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

its problay possible for the bull charges up when it sees red but we dont know which 2 legs that runs faster than the other 2 legs

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

just a guess

imqwerty (imqwerty):

haha :D so u mean that two legs with a speed like 30metres/sec and the other two at 10m/s :D hehe this is not possible cause the speed of bull=speed of all the legs :D can half of a car go at 100km/hr nd the other half at 1km/hr its obviously no :)

OpenStudy (nightcrawlers_):

pizza with popcorn you guys.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, was the bull butchered and 2 of the legs went 25 miles in one direction and the other 2 legs went 26 miles in a diff direction?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

lol how can a bull travel 2miles on 2 legs cx haha :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its butchered the bull is transported by truck normally to give to a restaurant so they can make food from it

imqwerty (imqwerty):

no! :)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

if he travels 26 miles with all the 4 legs then all the 4 legs travel 26miles but it is given that 2 of them traveled 25miles :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give a hint, will ya

OpenStudy (majesty69):

why am i wasting time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause youlls get an owlbuck...

OpenStudy (majesty69):

but i dont get it

imqwerty (imqwerty):

hint-if u can't do anything with the bull then try do something else :) don't jst stick to the bull

OpenStudy (majesty69):

what

imqwerty (imqwerty):

:)

OpenStudy (majesty69):

can you give one more small hint

imqwerty (imqwerty):

ok lemme think

OpenStudy (majesty69):

ok

imqwerty (imqwerty):

hint 2 - everything in the world is normal nothing extra ordinary u jst need to take the correct path to win :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you talking about legs in a race...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like a section of a race

imqwerty (imqwerty):

haha win here means win this contest :D to win the owlbuck

OpenStudy (majesty69):

the bull is one mile long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to admit i did think outside the box quite a few times

OpenStudy (majesty69):

therefore making the extra mile between both sets of legs

imqwerty (imqwerty):

a normal bull cannot be one mile long + it can't travel 1 mile on just 2 legs :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even if the bull was 1 mile long it still would walk 25 miles for all f4 legs

imqwerty (imqwerty):

^

imqwerty (imqwerty):

lol theres no bull which can do that XD

imqwerty (imqwerty):

we need a proper answer :D

OpenStudy (majesty69):

omg another hint?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

ok :) jst because i want u all to give the answer i'll give one more hint \[ \begin{array}l\color{red}{\text{H}}\color{orange}{\text{i}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{n}}\color{green}{\text{t}}\color{blue}{\text{3}}\color{purple}{\text{-}}\color{purple}{\text{T}}\color{red}{\text{h}}\color{orange}{\text{i}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{n}}\color{green}{\text{k}}\color{blue}{\text{ }}\color{purple}{\text{a}}\color{purple}{\text{b}}\color{red}{\text{o}}\color{orange}{\text{u}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{t}}\color{green}{\text{ }}\color{blue}{\text{t}}\color{purple}{\text{h}}\color{purple}{\text{e}}\color{red}{\text{ }}\color{orange}{\text{p}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{a}}\color{green}{\text{t}}\color{blue}{\text{h}}\color{purple}{\text{ }}\color{purple}{\text{t}}\color{red}{\text{h}}\color{orange}{\text{e}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{ }}\color{green}{\text{b}}\color{blue}{\text{u}}\color{purple}{\text{l}}\color{purple}{\text{l}}\color{red}{\text{ }}\color{orange}{\text{m}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{u}}\color{green}{\text{s}}\color{blue}{\text{t}}\color{purple}{\text{ }}\color{purple}{\text{h}}\color{red}{\text{a}}\color{orange}{\text{v}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{e}}\color{green}{\text{ }}\color{blue}{\text{t}}\color{purple}{\text{a}}\color{purple}{\text{k}}\color{red}{\text{e}}\color{orange}{\text{n}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{.}}\color{green}{\text{}}\end{array} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sideways?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

zigzag?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

backwards?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

nah :)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

u shuld give proper reasoning :) don't guess :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im asking if one of those are the path that the bull took?

OpenStudy (majesty69):

for some reason i feel like it's super obvious

imqwerty (imqwerty):

ok shall i post the answer :)

OpenStudy (majesty69):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well can i ask my question then...

imqwerty (imqwerty):

wait a sec :) u can but 1st lets finish off this discussion :)

OpenStudy (majesty69):

GIVE US THE ANSWER

imqwerty (imqwerty):

ok so the answer is - the bull operates a mill and travels in circular clockwise direction :) . The 2 outside legs travel a greater distance than the 2 inside legs :D hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow

OpenStudy (majesty69):

i feel soooooooooooooooooooo stupid......................i was thinking something like that x'D not the whole mill though

imqwerty (imqwerty):

no one got it so the owlbuck remains with me :) i will be asking such questions time to time very frequently so this is not the end u can win owlbucks evry next day :)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i can ask?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yea sure :)

OpenStudy (majesty69):

i have one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are three doors, and you must choose one of them to open, the first one has ninja assassins that kill you instantly, the second has loins that havent been fed for 3 week and the third door has a raging fire in it( you must go in the door you choose)

imqwerty (imqwerty):

haha :D i wuld wait for the lions to die cause of hunger and then choose that gate :)

OpenStudy (majesty69):

Go through the door with fire

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you were so close, you have to choose them within 30 seconds of being asked so there is no waiting

OpenStudy (majesty69):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is the second door cause the lions havent been fed for 3 weeks, so they are DEAD

imqwerty (imqwerty):

:o ok :) but hey the lions wuld be probably dead cause they are hungry frm 3 weeks

OpenStudy (majesty69):

I have one

imqwerty (imqwerty):

OpenStudy (majesty69):

OpenStudy (majesty69):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
