@Reenie (and @Betsy ) you are correct on 2.

On 1. try saying it out loud slowly and don't think of animals ...

 

[Betsy]

@Qualcast&Flymo You get to Whales (Wales) in a car by driving up the M4?

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Spot on, @Betsy !

 

[flowerfairy]

Haha two whales. To Wales. I love simple jokes!

 

[Betsy]

Spot on, @Betsy !

A group of campers have been on vacation so long, that they've forgotten the day of the week. The following conversation ensues.

Darryl: What's the day? I dont think it is Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

Tracy: Well that doesn't narrow it down much. Yesterday was Sunday.

Melissa: Yesterday wasn't Sunday, tomorrow is Sunday.

Ben: The day after tomorrow is Saturday.

Adrienne: The day before yesterday was Thursday.

Susie: Tomorrow is Saturday.

David: I know that the day after tomorrow is not Friday.

If only one person's statement is true, what day of the week is it?

 

[Betsy]

Whaaaat? My brain has just been fried trying to work this one out!
I think it is Wednesday? or maybe Friday? not sure which or even if one of them is correct

 

[Reenie]

Wednesday - Darryl is right. I think?

 

[Betsy]

Wednesday - Darryl is right. I think?

I thought that David was correct?

 

[Betsy]

Who knows? who cares? My brain is still fried!

 

[Reenie]

Who knows? who cares? My brain is still fried!

I know - it's a confusing one. C'mon @Squeakz who is right? Are any of us right?

 

[Betsy]

I know - it's a confusing one. C'mon @Squeakz who is right? Are any of us right?

Yeah @Squeakz don't leave us in suspense! What is the correct answer both @Reenie and I need to know!

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

I think it is Wednesday, too...

 

[Pawz]

Sorry I don't have access while working

It is Wednesday. If it was any other day of the week, more than one statement would be true. To solve the riddle, evaluate each person's statement and write down what day it could be according to the statement.

 

[Betsy]

@Reenie and @Qualcast&Flymo we were right!

 

[Betsy]

I have just thought of another riddle ......

At a party of 35 people there are twice as many women as children and twice as many children as men. How many of each are there?

 

[Reenie]

5 men, 10 children and 20 women?

 

[Betsy]

Oooo you can have a peanut! You are correct you clever thing!

 

[Reenie]

Thanks @Betsy - got a good one I saw on QI.

How many times does the minute hand pass the hour hand between midday and midnight?

Exactly what I did - amazing, my mum-brain hasn't completely gone to jelly!

11 times?

Is it 11?

 

[Betsy]

Just remembered another one of my Mum's

Two in a whole and four in a pair and six in a trio you see
And eight’s a quartet but what you must get
Is the name that fits just one of me

 

[Betsy]

Baby/Mum brain takes a while to unsquish!

 

[Reenie]

Is it 11?

it depends - 11 if you count when it gets to 12, 10 if you don't

 

[Betsy]

it depends - 11 if you count when it gets to 12, 10 if you don't

Whaaat?

 

[Reenie]

Whaaat?

When it gets to midnight, if you count that as passing, then it's 11 - so we're giving you it.... I believe a peanut is the going rate. lol

 

[Betsy]

Thanks @Reenie! Have you tried my other riddle above?

 

[Reenie]

Thanks @Reenie! Have you tried my other riddle above?

I thought a half?

 

[Betsy]

Another peanut to @Reenie! I hope you are not allergic!
