Dire Wolf Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I wanted to give you all a challange, but i also want to give some of my points away becuase i dont think i will ever spend them, So if you get a brain teaser(riddle) Right i will give you 10 poinrts for easy 1's, 15 points for medium 1's and 20 points for hard 1's. [spoiler=Number 1:Sack:medium]A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn't want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils.Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sacks is considered soiling. Trading sacks is not allowed. The farmer can’t cut a hole in his sack.How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper’s sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce?[spoiler=soloution]None yet!

Windfang Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pour the lentils into the innkeeper’s sack, bind it and turn inside out. Pour in the peas. Then unbind the sack a pour the lentils back to farmer's sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzix Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Turn the sack inside out so that the peas are on top, then open the sack and sell them to the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
