elderbear Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 A certain sheikh name Hassan had eight horses. Four were white, three were black, and one was brown. How many of Hassan's horses can say that it is the same color as another one of Hassan's horses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Euhm, 7? Or is it a trick question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderbear Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 No. Yes. And it has a follow on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 No. Yes. And it has a follow on ... Well, if I dig in the used language a bit, I could say that he had these horses, meaning that they no longer belong to him, so, that would mean the answer was 0. Another reason leads me to mention that horses can't speak, so then the answer would also be 0. Am I coming close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I coming close? You got it! Now for the follow on question: Assuming that horses can speak, how many of Hassan's horses could say that it is the same color as another of Hassan's horses?

TetsuoShima Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Now for the follow on question: Assuming that horses can speak, how many of Hassan's horses could say that it is the same color as another of Hassan's horses? Well, I'd say either he has no more horses and it would be 0. Or there would be 7 who could say that they had the same color as another of his horses. But I guess there again is some trick involved?

Nightfire Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Now for the follow on question: Assuming that horses can speak, how many of Hassan's horses could say that it is the same color as another of Hassan's horses? Well, I'd say either he has no more horses and it would be 0. Or there would be 7 who could say that they had the same color as another of his horses. But I guess there again is some trick involved? well as i see it, he HAD 8 of them. that does imply that he does NOT have 8 of them any more. so he may have sold 1 or more horses and left with some or none of them. so the answer is ranges from 0 to 7 since he could have sold the brown one and still 7 horses could say thay are the same color. makes sence??????

Yes. All of them could "say" they were the same color of at least one other horse ... just like all our policiticans "say" they have our best interests at heart ...

A 10-bit binary up-down counter. 1 door closes, 9 open. Upcount causing a transition from 0111111111b -> 1000000000b When 9 close, 1 door opens. Downcount causing a transition from 1000000000b -> 0111111111b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pella Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 well you may or may not have heard this one but ...... how far can one travel into a forest on foot ? Halfway - because once you've past halfway in, you're on your way out again. or to put it another way it depends on how many trees are in the way!!!

Taleitha Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 This is a literal thinking puzzle: A man pushes his car to the front of a motel (or hotel if you prefer, depending on where you come from). When he gets there, he knows that he is bankrupt. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
