yesterdays puzzles.....
A solo dice game is played where, on each turn, a normal pair of dice is rolled. The score is calculated by taking the product, rather than the sum, of the two numbers shown on the dice.
On a particular game, the score for the second roll is five more than the score for the first; the score for the third roll is six less than that of the second; the score for the fourth roll is eleven more than that of the third; and the score for the fifth roll is eight less than that of the fourth. What was the score for each of these five throws?
10 is the score for the first roll.
15 is the score for the second roll.
9 is the score for the third roll.
20 is the score for the fourth roll.
12 is the score for the fifth roll.
A high school has a strange principal. On the first day, he has his students perform an odd opening day ceremony:
There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school. The principal asks the first student to go to every locker and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the process is completed with the thousandth student, how many lockers are open?
The only lockers that remain open are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, 16, etc) because they are the only numbers divisible by an odd number of whole numbers; every factor other than the number's square root is paired up with another. Thus, these lockers will be "changed" an odd number of times, which means they will be left open. All the other numbers are divisible by an even number of factors and will consequently end up closed.
So the number of open lockers is the number of perfect squares less than or equal to one thousand. These numbers are one squared, two squared, three squared, four squared, and so on, up to thirty one squared. (Thirty two squared is greater than one thousand, and therefore out of range.) So the answer is thirty one.
You must cut a birthday cake into exactly eight pieces, but you're only allowed to make three straight cuts, and you can't move pieces of the cake as you cut. How can you do it?
Use the first two cuts to cut an 'X' in the top of the cake. Now you have four pieces. Make the third cut horizontal, which will divide the four pieces into eight. Think of a two by two by two Rubik's cube. There's four pieces on the top tier and four more just underneath it.
BIT HARD THESE!!!

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the other travels at 60 miles an hour. A bird starts flight at the same location as the faster train, flying at a speed of 90 miles per hour. When it reaches the slower train, it turns around, flying the other direction at the same speed. When it reaches the faster train again, it turns around -- and so on. When the trains collide, how far will the bird have flown?
The case of the missing night
Lionel is that rarest of people, a Jewish polo player. Whilst playing polo on Good Friday, Lionel injures his leg in a fall and his friends immediately take him to hospital. He spends just 2 nights there and leaves on the Monday.
HOW CAN THIS BE SO?
The wet and dry mystery
Melvyn has two passengers in his car as he drives slowly through Edgware - one is in the front and the other in the back. When they arrive at their destination, they meet up with 4 others. As they all get out, it starts to rain heavily. Six of them start walking fast but still get wet. However, the passenger from the back of Melvyn’s car remains completely dry, even though he makes no attempt to hurry and is wearing no hat, coat or umbrella.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
What is long and makes fat women groan as soon as they start going up and down on it?
BEHAVE!!!!!!!!
A skipping rope.
I invented the sandal for people with one leg.
It was a flop.
I always give waiters a tip, but they never seem to appreciate my advice.
I was walking along a riverside the other day when a fisherman caught my eye.
The other day I read in the paper, "A woman has been murdered in Manchester, by a 38 year old man who has not been named."
I thought, "38 years old and he still hasn't been named? What's everyone been calling him all these years?"
My great uncle was so stubborn, when he died, he left a won't.
I just received a call from an Indian telemarketer.
So I handed the phone to my three year old son and told him that Santa Claus is on the phone. Their conversation has been going on for ages!
My computer crashed and now all the other computers have slowed down so they can see what's happening.

Pencil's out, trying to crunch the numbers...do I really want a mortgage at this stage of my life? Going to put it all out of my mind tonight and just read my book. Have a peaceful evening all.....:smile:PQ
