Brain teaser
He takes a nose dive.
- calculus-geometryposted 10 years ago
0A man is holding a brick in the middle of the woods when an alien space craft abducts him. As he is being beamed up, his grip on the brick loosens and it falls on the tail of a beaver who happened to be passing by. The beaver, in anger, hurls the brick at the space craft, causing the abduction beam to falter, ultimately dropping the man back to Earth.
The man thanks the beaver and asks 'How can I repay you for saving me from the aliens?' The beaver tells the man to buy him a bottle of bourbon.
When the man is in the liquor store selecting the beaver's reward, he tells the owner about being saved by the most amazing beaver he has ever encountered and asks which bourbon would make the best gift of gratitude. "I've met a lot of beavers, but this one does things I never knew beavers could do!" The owner of the liquor store thinks the man is talking about his wife, the town whore, and punches the man in the face.
(With these old school brain teasers it's virtually impossible to answer "wrong." Any answer that includes a brick and a broken nose is technically correct.
) Nice try... Answers may vary
Correct Answer
The man is a physics tester and is demonstrating the law of energy conservation by tying the brick to a string hanging from the ceiling. He pulls the brick back and puts it right up to his nose and lets go. Because of air friction, the brick should lose some speed and thus miss the teacher's nose on the return swing. Unfortunately, this time the teacher accidentally gives the brick a little push. It returns with too much force and breaks his nose..I agree with that, the words mismatched... This is a hard puzzle... So today's winner is everyone, who tried to answer this puzzle
.. Nice try guys.... See you tomorrow, with some interesting puzzleThese puzzles are always hard, because these aren't the way they are supposed to be given
These are creative thinking puzzles, and how they are usually done is by asking questions. Each person participating can ask a question, in turn, and the response needs to be either a "yes" or a "no."
So if 5 people were participating in this logic game, they would ask questions like:
"Is the brick attached to anything?" Yes
"Is the brick being moved by gravity?" Yes
"Is anyone else involved?" No
"Is the man trying to prove a point." Yes
"Is the man running a science experiment?" Yes
I used to do a lot of these as a kid, but the funny thing is that teachers never know how they are supposed to work, so they never prove their point!
The point of these puzzles are not brain teasers, but rather deductive reasoning
I thought you said he dropped the brick.
