20 people jumped in, and the other 4 entered some other way - dove, swam, walked?

There is no one in a lake. 20 people jump in. 24 heads come up. All heads human. How is this possible?

---

The 24 heads that came up weren't in the lake. They were on the beach. They looked up when the 20 people jumped in the lake.

Am I close?

Oh that's bad! That's really bad! :rolleyes:

Run! :p

Okay, here's the riddle from Die Hard. When we watched it, I solved it while it was happening on screen, then I spent 3 hours explaining it to hubby. To this day he still doesn't get it. See if you do.

You have a 5 gallon jug and 3 gallon jug and more than enough water. You need exactly 4 gallons of water in order to defuse a bomb. Not one drop more than 4 gallons.

How do you get exactly 4 gallons?

DON'T spill a drop.

LMAO. Of course Bella, but how do you get exactly 4 gallons of water when you only have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug, and you can't guess, it has to be exactly 4 gallons.

Do the jugs have the amount of each gallon and ounce like you would have on a measruring cup.

This one is too easy lol. I'll wait and see if someone else gets it.

I'll take a stab at it.

I'd fill the 5 gallon jug, and pour it into the 3 gallon. What is left in the 5 gallon jug is 2 gallons. Dump the 3 gallons of water. Mark the point on the 5 gallon jug that is 2 gallons. Pour the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon. Fill the 5 gallon to the 2 gallon mark and between the 2 jugs, you have 4 gallons - or pour the 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug and there are now 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

I've lost all of you - huh? :p

OR...

Ok, they filled the 3 gallon jug and poured it into the 5 gal. jug. Then filled it again and poured the 3 gal into the 5 gal until it was full.
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.

And then BOOOOM! Sorry Alty, you Bella and jlo make me laugh so hard I can't concentrate.:D

I think you've got it JLo, but there's no marking involved.

Here, maybe this explanation is easier.

1. Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top.
2. Pour water from 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug, leaving you with exactly 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
3. Empty the 3 gallon jug.
4. Pour the 2 gallons you have left in the 5 gallon jug into the now empty 3 gallon jug. You now have exactly 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug, leaving 1 gallon of space.
5. Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top again.
6. Pour 1 gallon from the 5 gallon jug into the 1 gallon of empty space in the 3 gallon jug giving you exactly 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

Okay, that sounded easier when I wrote it. ;)
