This left exactly one gallon in the 3 gallon jug.
Then they poured out the 5 gallon jug and put the 1 remaining gallon into the 5 gallon jug. So now there is one gallon in the 5 gallon. now all you have to do is fill the 3 gal. up again and pour it into the 5 gallon.

All I know is I want a drink now. :D

LMAO!

Okay, no more math questions. ;)

My head hurts, and I knew the answer. :p

LOL, I'll take a glass of water.

Ok we need more!

Someone else has to come up with one.

Google baby, or as Ben would say... STFW. :p

Okay, super easy one.

I am lighter than a feather, yet no man can hold me for very long. What am I?

Air. Or his breath.

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

Air is close. To be specific, it's breath. :)

Yup, or chicken. K Kitty, it's your turn.

So easy my kids could do it.

Can you name five days of the week without saying (or writing) Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday?

Even easier. My husband could do this one. ;)

Count every " F" in the following sentence (What could be easier than that?):

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for.

6 f's... where's the news letter? :p

Not sure on the first one...

But there's seven?

And I counted 6 f's

The news letter thingy was put there by accident. Do not count the f's in that. This is what you get when you copy and past. :o

Did you count the F's in the newsletter part?

This is the sentence;

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

Sorry about that all. I did edit it. :o

Sorry, I was off getting strokes from my buddy Vanheart. ;)

I'd say the days in Spanish. Is that cheating?

Lol aww sorry, I was just kidding...

Nope I didn't count those F's. Just the ones in the sentence.

Sadly I've heard this one before, and it drove me nuts. There are a few answers to it. I'll give you one of them. :)

First, there are only two actual words in the English language ending in "gry". That part of the puzzle isn't important. The part that is, is this;

There are only three words in "the English language" what is the third word.

The answer is language. It's the third word in "The English Language"

Well you're right. There are 6. Interesting fact though. Most people only count 4. For some reason the f's in of don't register for most people.

Anyone figure this one out yet?

I remember that one from school too. But I remember there being other answers too. Like one was "say" or something... I just remember that one because, even after hearing the answer, I didn't get it for SO long.

Trust me, I'll never forget that one. When my friend first told us the riddle, he made us think about it for two days.

I even started going through the dictionary looking for another word ending in gry. ;)

When he finally told us, I was really mad.

We visit his grave often. After all, it's in my yard, just a hop skip and a jump. That'll teach him to mess with Alty. ;) :)

Imagine you are in a sinking boat and surrounded by sharks. How do you survive?

The person who makes it doesn't want it. The person who buys it doesn't use it. The person who uses it doesn't see it. What is it?

My brain is starting to hurt.

A coffin to the second one?

Stab the sharks with the wood from the boat? Lol

Make sure you can throw the weakest one to the sharks?:eek:
Coffin

Darnit. Go out for a smoke and miss the coffin riddle.

As for the sharks, I have no idea.

I'd say let me think, but my brain hurts. ;)
