Well, Xaara had it right. That is indeed the way.

Now for some little light snacks:

I want exactly 4 liters in a jug. I have a 3 liter and a 5 liter jug. How do I do that?

I met a man with seven wives
And every wife had seven sacks
And every sack had seven cats
And every cat had seven kits
Kits, cats, sacks, wives
How many were going to St Ives?

You are driving a bus. Four people get on, three people get off, then eight people get on and ten people get off, then 6 people get on and 2 more people get off. What color were the bus driver's eyes?

No google on this one. Common knowledge for the world!

second one; 7+7^2+7^3+7^4 = 2800

last one; green/blue

1st: i'd have to think about that...

3 L jug: A
5 L jug: B

fill A
empty A in B
fill A
fill B using A (1 L left in A)
empty B
fill B using A (1 L in B)
fill A
emtpy A in B (4 L in B)

gotcha

It is indeed as lovedoll says. You got the first wrong TH.

It's a classical children's rhyme. I only assume that those who grew up in English speaking countries know it very well.

Hehehe, correct lovedoll. There are two possible answers. The only person travelling to St. Yves is just the one guy. The narrator. However the amount of kits, cats, sacks and wives is zero. So it just depends on how you look at it really.

Ahh, I see the problem....damn...I should have payed more attention. I copied the riddle but did not get the first sentence in, which reads: "While I was going to St. Yves".

My bad. Sorry TH and Lovedoll.

Hehe np.. But i think the riddle got easier without the first sentemce. Cause I felt it was a bit odd that St ives appeared in the last sentence. Was it named 2 times I might not think about it that much :P

BTW: Is it St Ives or ST Yves? You have stated both of them Mhua ;)

It's a childrens riddle, I can't help it. :P

Well, here is another one: You have a solid wooden barrel, what can you put in the barrel to make it lighter?

I know this one is ill defined as well, but to define it better would result in the answer being more easilly guessed. And no, I do not accept gasses lighter than air as a correct answer.

Just a question.
With solid you mean that you cant open it or that its wood all the way to the center or anything else?

And a guess aswell: Fire? put in some fire and burn it.. then it will be lighter ;)

With solid I mean that the barrel is sturdy.

Wrong, the answer isn't fire. If you put fire in the barrel it is just a barrel with fire in it. The burning and losing weight happens over time and is an indirect result of you plaving fire in the barrel. I'd like a direct result. Technically speaking, a barrel, once burned down, can't really be called a barrel anymore now can it?

Hehe you are right.. But i think it was a good guess :) And i dont find a good use for sturdy either.. Bth sturdy and solid have different meaning. 1 meaning is that it s hard or heavy.. The second one is that it is wood all the way with no air or anything.

I assume its the last one?
