After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X = 10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete.

He put an S in front of it

Perhaps...

How can you clasp someone's hands together in such a manner that they cannot leave the room without unclasping them?

An openended barrel, I am shaped like a hive. I am filled with the flesh, and the flesh is alive! What am I?

I have no voice and yet I speak to you, I tell of all things in the world that people do. I have leaves, but I am not a tree, I have pages, but I am not a bride or royalty. I have a spine and hinges, but I am not a man or a door, I have told you all, I cannot tell you more. What am I?

I can be this, and you can be this. And yes, we can be this. He can’t be this; and she can’t be this. And no they can’t be this. Dogs can’t be this, but cats can. And a kitten can’t be this, but a puppy can. Givers can’t be this, but beggars can. And humility can’t be this, but greed can. Not even peace can be this, but fear can.

What is “this?”

Label the bags from 1 to 5. Take 1 bead out of Bag 1, and label it 1. Take 2 beads out of Bag 2, and label them both with a 2. Take 3 beads out of Bag 3, and label each with a 3. Continue this pattern with Bags 4 and 5 (four beeds from bag 4, five from bag 5.) Put these 15 beads on the tray of the scale. If all 15 weighed 10 kilograms, the scale would register 150 kilograms. But since one or more of the beads weighs only 9 kilograms, the scale will register less than 150. Subtract the number on the scale from 150. Your answer will tell you the number of the bag with the lighter beads.

Yep.

Put one from bag a, two from B, three from C. Four from D and none from E.
If it's 60 kilos It's E
If 59 A
58 B
57 C
56 D

That would also work.

@ turner: words that can be typed w/ one hand!

 

[Turner]

@D&G: not quite what I was looking for. You'll have to do better. No, seriously. . . words that can be typed with one hand on the keyboard.

A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl named Sarah. The bus driver had to go on a long bustrip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave Sarah seven apples. Why?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Turner: heard this one. An apple a day keeps the doctor away..

 

[Perfection]

To keep the docter away!

 

[Turner]

Doh! Doh! doh! doh!

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@D&G:

I believe Perfection answered them about 2 posts after you asked them.

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ K-Man: I see....
Anyhow, the second one is wrong.

@ Perfection: on 1 and 3.

 

[Turner]

@ D&G: A thimble.
